❒Clean it with a cloth that does not leave threads or other impurities.
❒Put the dipstick into its seat pushing it down.
❒Take it out, the oil level shall be between the MIN and MAX marks on
the dipstick.
The space between the MIN and MAX marks corresponds to about one
litre of oil.
If the oil level is near or even below the MIN mark, add oil through the

MAINTENANCEUsed engine oil and filter contain harmful substances for the environment. Contact Fiat Dealership
to have the oil and filter changed, as they are equipped to dispose of the waste oil and filters
respecting the nature and the law. IMPORTANT After adding or changing the oil, let the
engine turn over for a few seconds and wait a few
minutes after turning it off before you check the level.
Do not add oil with specifications other than that already in the engine.
IMPORTANT If a routine check reveals that the oil
level is above the MAX mark, contact Fiat Dealership
to have the correct level restored.

DIESEL FUEL FILTER
DRAINING THE CONDENSE (diesel versions)
IMPORTANT The presence of water in the fuel circuit
can severely damage the injection system and make
the engine misfire. If the warning light
cturns on,
contact a Fiat Dealership as soon as possible to have
the bleeding operation carried out.
If the warning light comes on immediately after
refuelling, water is probably present in the tank: turn
the engine off immediately and contact Fiat Dealership.
BATTERY
Fiat Multipla battery is of the “Limited maintenance”
type: under normal conditions of use it does not
require topping up with distilled water.
CHECKING THE BATTERY FLUID LEVEL
(electrolyte)
Check the electrolyte level (and top up if required) at
the intervals shown in the Service Schedule in this
section. Have this operation carried out at Fiat
Dealership.
Batteries contain substances that are very harmful for the environment. You are advised to have
the battery changed at a Fiat Dealership, which is properly equipped for disposing of used batteries
respecting nature and law.
The liquid in the battery is poisonous and corrosive. Avoid contact with eyes and
skin. Do not bring naked flames or possible sources of sparks near to the battery:
risk of fire and explosion.WARNING
