IMPORTANT The oil consumption de-
pends on driving style and the conditions
under which the vehicle is used.
IMPORTANT Always top up using engine
oil of the same type as that already in the
engine.
ENGINE OIL fig. 3-4
Engine oil check
Check the oil level a few minutes (about 5)
after the engine has stopped, with the ve-
hicle parked on level ground.
Extract the test rod Aand clean it. Then,
put it back all the way down and extract
it again to check that the level ranges be-
tween the MINand MAXlevels on the
rod. The range between the MINand
MAXlevels corresponds to approxi-
mately 1 litre of oil.
Topping up the engine oil
If the oil level is near or even under the
MINline, add oil through the filler Bto
reach the MAXline.
Oil level must never exceed the MAX
line.
Proceed very carefully inside
the engine compartment
when the engine is hot: risk of burns.
Remember that the electric fan may
start up if the engine is hot: risk of in-
jury. Pay attention to scarves, ties and
other loose fitting garments: they may
be dragged by moving parts.
WARNING
Exhausted engine oil and oil
filter contain substances
which are dangerous for the
environment. For oil and filter
changing, we recommend contacting a
Fiat Dealership.
IMPORTANT If the engine oil level results
above the MAXlevel after the check, go
to the Fiat Dealership for restoring the
correct level.
IMPORTANT After adding or changing
the oil, let the engine turn over for a few
seconds and wait a few minutes after turn-
ing it off before you check the level.
Engine oil consumption
The maximum engine oil consumption is
usually 400 grams every 1000 km.
When the vehicle is new, the engine needs
to be run in. Therefore, the engine oil con-
sumption can only be considered stabilised
after the first 5,000 - 6,000 km.

AIR CLEANER/
POLLEN FILTER
Have the air cleaner or the pollen filter re-
placed by a Fiat Dealership.
BATTERY
The vehicle fits a low-maintenance battery:
no top-ups with distilled water are need-
ed in normal conditions of use.
A periodic check is however required to
make sure that the battery is in efficient
conditions. Have it performed by the Fiat
Dealership or skilled personnel only. REPLACING THE BATTERY
If required, replace the battery with a gen-
uine spare battery having the same speci-
fications.
If a battery with different specifications is
fitted, the service intervals given in the
“Scheduled servicing plan” in this section
will no longer be valid.
Follow the battery manufacturer’s in-
structions for maintenance.
The battery fluid is poiso-
nous and corrosive. Avoid
contact with the skin and eyes. Keep
naked flames and sources of sparks
away from the battery: risk of explo-
sion and fire.
WARNING
Running the battery with an
excessively low liquid level
will damage the battery beyond re-
pair and even cause an explosion.
WARNING
Incorrect assembly of electric
and electronic devices may
cause severe damage to your
vehicle. Go to a Fiat Dealer-
ship if, after buying the vehicle, you
want to install accessories (alarms, mo-
bile phone, etc.): they will suggest the
most suitable devices and advise you
if a higher capacity battery needs to be
installed.

MAINTENANCE
AND CARE
Batteries contain substances
that can be very dangerous
for the environment. It is ad-
visable to have the battery re-
placed by a Fiat Dealership where it
will be disposed of according to the
law.
Whenever an operation on
the battery or near it is re-
quired, always protect your eyes with
special goggles.
WARNING
If the vehicle remains unused
for a long time at very low
temperatures, remove the
battery and take it to a warm
place to avoid freezing.
USEFUL ADVICE
TO EXTEND THE LIFE OF YOUR
BATTERY
To avoid draining your battery and make
its life longer, observe the following indi-
cations:
❒when you park the vehicle, ensure the
doors, tailgate and bonnet are closed
properly;
❒switch off all lights inside the vehicle: the
vehicle is however equipped with a sys-
tem which switches all internal lights off
automatically;
❒do not keep accessories (e.g. sound sys-
tem, emergnecy lights, etc.) switched
on for a long time when the engine is
not running;
❒before performing any operation on the
electrical system, disconnect the bat-
tery negative cable;
❒battery terminals shall always be per-
fectly tightened.The battery is also more prone to the risk
of freezing (e.g. already at –10°C). Refer
to the paragraph “Vehicle inactivity” in
“Starting and driving” if the vehicle is left
parked for a long time.
If, after buying the vehicle, you want to in-
stall electric accessories which require
permanent electric supply (alarm, etc.)
contact the Fiat Dealership whose quali-
fied personnel, in addition to suggesting
the most suitable devices, will evaluate the
overall electric absorption, checking
whether the vehicle electric system is ca-
pable of withstanding the load required,
or whether it should be integrated with
a more powerful battery.
Since these devices continue absorbing en-
ergy even when the ignition key is off, they
gradually run down the battery.

ADVICE FOR PRESERVING
THE BODYWORK
Paint
Paintwork does not only serve an aes-
thetic purpose, but also protects the un-
derlying sheet metal.
Touch up abrasions and scratches immedi-
ately to prevent the formation of rust. On-
ly use genuine spare paint products for
touch-ups (see “Bodywork paint identifi-
cation plate” in the “Technical Specifica-
tions” section).
Normal maintenance of paintwork con-
sists in washing the vehicle: the frequen-
cy depends on the conditions and envi-
ronment where the vehicle is used.
For example, it is advisable to wash the ve-
hicle more often in areas with a high en-
vironmental pollution or on roads sprin-
kled with salt.To correctly wash the vehicle:
❒remove the aerial from the roof to pre-
vent damage to it if the vehicle is
washed in an automatic system;
❒wash the body using a low pressure jet
of water;
❒wipe a sponge with a slightly soapy so-
lution over the bodywork, frequently
rinsing with the sponge;
❒rinse well with water and dry with a jet
of air or a chamois leather.
If the vehicle is washed in an automatic car
wash, follow these recommendations:
– remove the antenna from the roof to
avoid damages;
– water with a cleansing solution must be
used for washing;
– rinse accurately to avoid cleansing so-
lution residues which may remain on the
body or hidden parts.Dry the less visible parts particularly care-
fully, such as the door frames, bonnet and
the headlight frames, where water may
stagnate more easily. It is a good idea to
leave the vehicle outdoors for a while af-
ter washing it to give water time to evap-
orate.
Do not wash the vehicle after it has been
parked in the sun or when the engine bon-
net is hot: this could take the shine off the
paint.Some automatic systems pro-
vided with old generation
and/or not correctly main-
tained brushes may damage
the varnish, easing the creation of mi-
cro-scratches, especially on dark
colours. To remove those scratches,
slightly polish with a specific product.

Windows
Use specific window cleaner products.
Use also clean cloths to avoid scratching
the glass or damaging the transparency.
IMPORTANT Wipe the rear window in-
side gently with a cloth in the direction
of the filaments to avoid damaging the
heating device.Engine compartment
At the end of each winter, thoroughly
wash the engine compartment taking care
not to direct the water jet against the elec-
tronic control units and the relay/fuse con-
trol unit on the left side of the engine com-
partment (running direction). Have this
operation performed at a specialised
workshop.
IMPORTANT Perform this operation on
a cold engine and with the key at STOP.
After the washing operation, make sure
that the various protections (e.g. rubber
caps and guards) have not been removed
or damaged.
Front headlights
IMPORTANT Never use aromatic sub-
stances (e.g.: petrol) or ketenes (e.g.: ace-
tone) for cleaning front headlight plastic
lens. Exterior plastic parts must be cleaned in
the same way as the rest of the vehicle.
Where possible, do not park the vehicle
under trees; the resinous substance re-
leased by many species give the paint a dull
appearance and increase the possibility of
triggering rust processes.
IMPORTANT Bird droppings must be
washed off immediately and thoroughly as
the acid they contain is particularly ag-
gressive.
Detergents cause water pol-
lution. The vehicle should be
washed in areas equipped for
collecting and purifying the
liquid used in the washing process.
