PETROL ENGINES
Use only unleaded petrol.
To avoid mistakes, the diameter of the fu-
el filler is too small to introduce the beak
of a leaded petrol pump. The petrol oc-
tane rating (RON) must not be lower
than 95.
IMPORTANT An inefficient catalyst leads
to harmful exhaust emissions, thus con-
tributing to air pollution.
IMPORTANT Never use leaded petrol,
even in small amount or in an emergency,
as this would damage the catalyst beyond
repair.DIESEL ENGINES
If the outside temperature is very low, the
diesel thickens due to the formation of
paraffin clots and could clog the diesel fu-
el filter.
In order to avoid these problems, differ-
ent types of diesel are distributed ac-
cording to the season: summer type, win-
ter type and arctic type (cold, mountain
areas).
If refuelling with diesel fuel whose features
are not suitable to the temperature of use,
it is advisable to mix TUTELA DIESEL ART
additive in the proportions shown on the
container with the fuel. Pour the additive
into the tank before the fuel.
When using or parking the car for a long
time in the mountains or cold areas, it is
advisable to refuel using locally available
fuel.
In this case, it is also advisable to keep the
tank over 50% full.For diesel engines, use diesel
fuel for motor vehicles com-
pliant with EN590 European
specifications only. The use of
other products or mixtures may dam-
age the engine beyond repair and con-
sequently cause lapse of warranty in
relation to the damage caused. If you
accidentally introduce other types of
fuel in the tank, do not start the engine
and empty the tank. If the engine has
run also for a very short time, you will
need to have the entire fuel feed sys-
tem emptied in addition to the tank.
Filling the tank
To fill the tank completely, top-up twice
after the pump switches off. Further top-
ups could cause faults in the fuel feeding
system.

(engine coolant, brakes, battery, windscreen washer, etc.)
Check timing belt conditions (1.4 and 1.4 T-JET versions)
Check engine control system operation

Replace timing belt (*)
Change engine oil and oil filter (or every 24 months)
Change brake fluid (or every 24 months)

(*) Regardless of the km covered, the timing belt shall be replaced every 4 years for particularly demanding use
(cold climates, driving in the city, idling for a long time) or in any case every 5 years
(❍)For 1.4 T-JET version, in order to ensure correct operation and avoid significant damages to the engine, it is mandatory:
- to use spark plugs specifically certified for the T-JET engine only, of the same type and brand (see paragraph “Engine”);
- to replace the plugs as often as required by the Programmed Maintenance Plan;
- we recommend to refer to the Fiat Dealership

DEMANDING USE
OF THE CAR
Should prevailing use of the car be under
one of the following specially heavy con-
ditions:
❒trailer or caravan towing;
❒dusty roads;
❒short distances (less than 7-8 km) re-
peated and with external temperatures
below zero;
❒frequently idling engines or long dis-
tance low speed driving (e.g. taxis or
door-to-door deliveries) or in case of
a long term inactivity;
❒in cities;
perform the following inspections more
frequently than shown on the Service
Schedule:
❒check front disk brake pad conditions
and wear;
❒check cleanness of locks, bonnet and
boot and lever cleanness and lubrica-
tion;
❒visually inspect the conditions of: en-
gine, gearbox, transmission, pipes and
hoses (exhaust - fuel - brakes), rubber
parts (boots, sleeves, bushes, etc.);
❒check battery charge and liquid level
(electrolyte) (see paragraph “Charge
level check” in chapter “Maintenance
and care”);
❒visually inspect the accessory drive belt
conditions;
❒check pollen filter and replace, if re-
quired;
❒check air cleaner and replace, if re-
quired.
REGULAR
INSPECTIONS
Every 1,000 km or before long journeys,
check and top up if required:
❒engine coolant fluid level;
❒brake fluid level;
❒brake fluid level;
❒tyre pressure and conditions.
❒operation of lights (headlights, direction
indicators, hazard lights, etc.);
❒operation of the windscreen wiper/
washer system, position and wear of
the windscreen and rear window wiper
blades;
Every 3,000 km check the following and
top-up, if required:engine oil level.
You are recommended to use FL
Seleniaproducts, designed and produced
specifically for Fiat cars (see table “Ca-
pacities” in section “Technical specifica-
tions”).

NOTE Carefully clean the cap of reservoir
Aand the surrounding surface.
When opening the cap, make sure that no
dirt gets into the reservoir.
For topping up always use a funnel with
built in filter (mesh smaller than or equal
to 0.12 mm).
IMPORTANT Brake fluid absorbs mois-
ture. For this reason, if the car is mainly
used in areas with a high degree of at-
mospheric humidity, the fluid should be
replaced at more frequent intervals than
specified in the “Service schedule”. Check level through the reservoir.
fig. 7F0R0138m
Do not travel with the wind-
screen washing reservoir
empty: the windscreen washer is fun-
damental to improve visibility.
WARNING
Some commercial wind-
screen washer additives are
flammable. The engine compartment
contains hot parts which could start
a fire if they come into contact.
WARNING
Prevent brake fluid which is
highly corrosive from coming
into contact with painted
parts. Wash with water im-
mediately if this should happen.
Brake fluid is poisonous and
highly corrosive. In the case
of accidental contact, wash the parts
with water and mild soap and rinse
with plenty of water. Call a doctor
immediately if swallowed.
WARNING
Symbol πon the contain in-
dicates a synthetic brake flu-
id, which is different from a mineral
fluid. Use of a mineral type fluid will
damage the special rubber seals of
the braking system beyond repair.
WARNING
BRAKE FLUID fig. 7
Release cap A: check that the liquid con-
tained in the tank is at the maximum level.
Fluid level in the reservoir must not ex-
ceed the MAXmark.
Use the brake fluid shown in the “Fluids
and lubricants” table (see “Technical Spec-
ifications”).

MAINTENANCEOil consumption is extremely
low; if another top-up should
be required after only a short
period of time, have the system checked
for leakage at a Fiat Dealership.
BATTERY
The car fits a low-maintenance battery: no
top-ups with distilled water are needed in
normal conditions of use.
CHECKING THE CHARGE fig. 9
Use the gauge A (where provided) on the
battery lid positioned as shown in fig. 9and
take action according to the colour it as-
sumes.
Refer to the table below. POWER STEERING FLUID fig. 8
Check that the oil level with the car on flat
ground and the engine cold is between the
MINand MAXlines on the reservoir
body. The level may go over the MAX
line when the oil is hot.
If topping up is required, make sure the oil
you used has the same specifications as
that already in the system.
AIR CLEANER
Have the air cleaner replaced by a Fiat
Dealership.
POLLEN FILTER
Have the pollen filter replaced by a Fiat
Dealership.
Prevent power steering flu-
id from coming into contact
with hot engine parts: the liquid is
flammable.
