vapours may be present, with the risk of fire.
When topping up take care not to confuse the various types of fluids: they are all incompatible
with one another and could seriously damage the car.

ENGINE OIL
The engine oil level must be checked with the car on level ground and
while the engine is still hot (approximately 5 minutes after turning it off).
❒Remove the dipstick.
❒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
filler neck until reaching the MAX mark.
Oil level shall never exceed the MAX mark.

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.
When the engine is hot, take care when working inside the engine compartment to
avoid burns. Remember that when the engine is hot, the fan may cut in: danger of
injury. Scarves, ties and other loose clothing might be pulled by moving parts.WARNING
IMPORTANT The oil consumption depends on driving
style and the conditions under which the car is used.

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.

POWER STEERING FLUID
Check that the fluid level is between the MIN and MAX marks on the
reservoir with the car parked on level ground and engine cold.
When the oil is hot the level may exceed the MAX mark.
If necessary add oil making sure that it has the same specifications as the
oil already in the system.
F0E0684m
The oil consumption is very low; if, after topping up it becomes necessary to top up again quite
soon after, have the system checked by Fiat Dealership for any leaks.
WARNINGDo not allow the power steering fluid to come into contact with the hot parts of
the engine: it is inflammable.

These components shall only be cleaned with water
and neutral soap.
Never use spirit or alcohol-based products.
Before using special products for cleaning interiors,
read carefully label instructions and indications to
make sure they are free from spirit and/or alcohol-
based substances.If when cleaning the windscreen with special glass
products, some drops fall on the leather covering of
the steering wheel/gear lever knob remove them
immediately and then clean with water and neutral
soap.
IMPORTANT Take the utmost care when engaging
the steering lock to prevent scratching the leather
covering.
Never use inflammable products like fuel oil ether or rectified petrol for cleaning
inside the car. The electrostatic discharges generated when rubbing to clean may
cause fire.WARNING
Do not keep aerosol cans in the car. They might explode. Aerosol cans must never
be exposed to a temperature above 50°C. The temperature inside the car exposed
to the sun may go well beyond that figure. WARNING

For diesel engines, in the event of emergencies when genuine products are not available, lubricants providing at least ACEA B4 per-
formance are allowed; in that case, engine best performance is not guaranteed; we recommend to have it replaced as soon as pos-
sible with the recommended lubricants by the Fiat Dealership.
Use of products with low-quality properties than ACEA A3 and ACEA B4 could cause damages to the engine that are not covered
by the warranty.
For very cold climate conditions, ask Fiat Dealership for the appropriate Seleniaproduct to use. Synthetic-based engine oils grade SAE 5W-40
that pass ACEA B4, API CF.
