FUSE, MAXI-FUSE) cuts in, do not at-
tempt any repair and contact a Fiat Dealership.
WARNING
Before replacing a fuse, make sure the ig-
nition key has been removed and that all
the other services are switched off and/or
disengaged.If the replaced fuse blows again, contact
a Fiat Dealership.
WARNING
Never replace a blown fuse with metal
wires or other recovered material.
WARNING
Never replace a fuse with another of high-
er power: FIRE HAZARD.
WARNING
REPLACING FUSESGENERAL FEATURES fig. 165
Fuses protect the electric system: they cut in (i.e. they
blow) in the event of a failure or improper action on the
system.
When a device does not work, check the efficiency of its
fuse: the filament A must be intact. If it is, replace the blown
fuse with another with the same amperage (same colour).
B undamaged fuse.
C fuse with damaged filament.
To facilitate fuse replacement, use the pliers D hooked
to the fuse-box on the dashboard left-hand side.

CAR MAINTENANCE
SCHEDULED SERVICINGCorrect servicing is essential in guaranteeing a long life for
the car under the best conditions.
This is why Fiat has programmed a series of checks and
servicing operations every 20,000 km.
It is however important to remember that scheduled ser-
vicing does not completely cover all the car’s requirements:
also in the initial run-in period before 20,000 km service
coupon and later, between each servicing interval, ordi-
nary care is still required, such as for example routine
check and topping-up the level of fluids, tyre pressure
check, etc...
CORRECT USE
OF THE CAR
IMPORTANT Scheduled Servicing coupons are specified
by the Manufacturer. Failure to have them carried out may
invalidate the warranty.
Schedule servicing can be carried out by any Fiat Dealership,
at pre-established times.
If during each operation, in addition to the ones pro-
grammed, the need arises for further replacements or re-
pairs, these may only be carried out with the express
agreement of the Customer.
IMPORTANT It is advisable to contact a Fiat Dealership
in the event of any minor operating failure, without wait-
ing for the next service coupon.
If the car is used frequently for towing a trailer, the inter-
val between services should be reduced.

Car maintenance should be charged to
a Fiat Dealership. For routine and minor
maintenance operations you wish to carry
out yourself, always make sure you have the prop-
er equipment, genuine Fiat spare parts and the nec-
essary fluids; do not however carry out these
operations if you have no experience.
IMPORTANT – Battery
Check the battery charge once a year, preferably before
at the beginning of winter to limit the risk of electrolyte
freezing.
This check should be carried out more frequently if the
car is used mainly for short journeys, or if it is fitted with
accessories that permanently absorb electricity even with
the ignition key removed, especially in the case of after-
market accessories. If the car is used in hot climates or
particularly harsh conditions it is advisable to check the
level of the battery fluid (electrolyte) more frequently than
specified in the “Scheduled Servicing Programme”.
❒
frequently idling engine or long distance low speed dri-
ving (e.g. taxis or door-to-door deliveries) or in case
of a long term inactivity;
change engine oil more frequently than required on the
“Scheduled Servicing Programme”.
IMPORTANT – Diesel filter
The possibility of topping-up with diesel fuel not comply-
ing with EN 590 European Standard might make it neces-
sary to replace the filter more frequently than indicated in
the “Scheduled Servicing Programme”.
IMPORTANT – Air filter
When the car is used on dusty roads, change the air fil-
ter more frequently than shown on the “Scheduled Ser-
vicing Programme”. If in doubt as to how often the en-
gine oil and air filter should be changed according to how
you use the car, contact a Fiat Dealership.
IMPORTANT – Pollen filter
It is advisable to replace the filtering element more fre-
quently if the car is used in dusty or very polluted places.
Specifically, replace if a lower air flow into the passen-
ger’s compartment is found.

ENGINE COOLANT fig. 178 and 179
The coolant level must be checked when the engine is cold
and must range between the MIN. and MAX. marks on the
reservoir.
If the level is low, pour slowly a mixture of 50% deminer-
alised water and 50% PARAFLU
UP
of FL Selenia through
the filler neck A until approaching the MAX. level.
A 50-50 mixture of PARAFLU
UP
and demineralised wa-
ter gives freeze protection to −35 °C.
For particularly harsh climate conditions, a mixture of 60%
PARAFLU
UP
and 40% demineralised water is recom-
mended.
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
Never add any oil with different specifica-
tions than those of the existing engine oil. Used engine oil and the replaced oil filter
contain substances that may be dangerous
for the environment. It is advisable to have
oil and filters changed by a Fiat Dealership where
they will be disposed respecting the environment
and according to law prescription.

The engine cooling system is pressurised.
If necessary, only replace the cap with an-
other genuine one or the operation of the system
may be adversely affected. Do not remove the cap
from the reservoir when the engine is hot: dan-
ger of scalding.
WARNING
The engine cooling system uses protective
antifreeze fluid PARAFLU
UP. Use the same
fluid as in the cooling system when topping
up. PARAFLU
UP
fluid cannot be mixed with any oth-
er type of fluid. If this accidentally occurs, do not
start the engine and contact a Fiat Dealership.
Do not travel with the windscreen wash-
er reservoir empty: the windscreen
washer is fundamental for improving visibility.
WARNING
WINDSCREEN/REAR WINDOW WASHER
FLUID fig. 180
To top-up, remove the cap A.
Pour a mixture of water and TUTELA PROFESSIONAL
SC35, in the following concentrations:
30% TUTELA PROFESSIONAL SC35 and 70% water in
summer.
50% TUTELA PROFESSIONAL SC35 and 50% water in
winter.
At temperatures below −20 °C, use undiluted TUTELA
PROFESSIONAL SC35 fluid.
Check level through the reservoir.
