oil FIAT IDEA 2007 1.G Owner's Manual

Engine oil consumption
Max engine oil consumption is usually 400 grams every
1000 km.
When the car is new, the engine needs to run in,
therefore the engine oil consumption can only be
considered stabilised after the first 5000 - 6000 km.IMPORTANT The oil consumption depends on driving
style and the conditions under which the car is used.
IMPORTANT Do not add oil with specifications other
than that already in the engine.

Engine compartment
At the end of the winter the engine compartment
should be carefully washed, without directing the jet
against electronic control units. Contact a specialised
workshop to have this done.
IMPORTANT Washing should be carried out with the
engine cold and the ignition key at STOP. After
washing make sure that the various protections (e.g.:
rubber caps and various covers) have not been
damaged or removed.INTERIORS
Periodically check that water is not trapped under the
mats (due to water dripping off shoes, umbrellas, etc.)
which could cause oxidisation of the sheet metal.
CLEANING SEATS AND FABRIC AND
VELVET PARTS
Use a soft brush or vacuum cleaner to remove dust.
Velvet is cleaned better if the brush is moistened.
Rub the seats with a sponge moistened with a solution
of water and neutral detergent.
CLEANING LEATHER SEATS
Remove dried on dirt with lightly moistened chamois
leather or cloth without pressing too hard.
Remove liquid or grease stains with a dry absorbent
cloth without rubbing. Then wipe with a soft cloth or
chamois leather with water and neutral soap.
If the stain persists, use specific products, carefully
following the instructions for use.
IMPORTANT Never use spirit or alcohol-based
products.
WARNINGNever use flammable
products like oil ether or
rectified petrol for
cleaning car interiors.
Electrostatic discharges
generated by rubbing
during cleaning
operations could cause
fire.
