air filter FIAT QUBO 2015 1.G Owners Manual

PROTECTING THE ENVIRONMENTThe following devices are used for reducing diesel
fuel engine emissions:
❒oxidising catalytic converter
❒exhaust gas recirculation system (EGR)
❒diesel particulate filter (DPF) (for versions/
markets, where provided).
DIESEL PARTICULATE FILTER (DPF)
(for versions/markets, where provided)
The Diesel Particulate Filter is a mechanical filter,
integral to the exhaust system, that physically traps
carbon particulates present in the exhaust gases
of diesel engines.
The diesel particulate filter has been adopted to
eliminate almost all particulates in compliance with
current/future regulations.
During normal use of the vehicle, the engine
management control unit records a set of data
(travel time, type of route, temperatures reached
etc.) and calculates how much particulate has been
trapped by the filter.Since this filter physically traps particulate, it must be
regenerated (cleaned) at regular intervals by burning
the carbon particles.
The regeneration procedure is managed
automatically by the engine management control unit
according to the filter conditions and vehicle use
conditions.
During regeneration, the following may occur: a
limited increase in the engine speed, activation of the
fan, a limited increase in fumes and high
temperatures at the exhaust.
These are not faults; they do not impair vehicle
performance or damage the environment. If
the dedicated message is displayed, refer to the
“Warning lights and messages” section.

❒visually inspect conditions of: engine, gearbox,
transmission, pipes and hoses (exhaust - fuel
system - brakes) and rubber elements (boots -
sleeves - bushes - etc.);
❒check battery charge status and fluid (electrolyte)
level (refer to "Battery - Check state of charge
and electrolyte level" paragraph in this chapter);
❒visually inspect condition of the auxiliary drive
belts;
❒check and, if necessary, replace pollen filter, in
particular it should be replaced if there is a
noticeable decrease in the passenger compartment
air intake flow rate.
❒check and, if necessary, replace air filter.
CHECKING LEVELS
When topping up, take care not to mix up
the various types of fluids: they are not
compatible with each other and could
seriously damage the vehicle.
WARNING
Never smoke while working in the
engine compar tment : inflammable gases
and vapours may be present , constituting a fire
risk.

BRAKE FLUID
Undo the cap A fig. 171 and check that the liquid
contained in the reservoir is at the maximum level.
Fluid level in the reservoir must not exceed the MAX
mark.
If you do need to top up, use the brake fluid shown
in the "Fluids and lubricants" table (see "Technical
Specifications"). When opening the cap A, make sure
that no dirt gets into the reservoir.
Always use a funnel with a built-in filter with a mesh
of 0.12 mm or less for topping up.
IMPORTANT Brake fluid absorbs moisture. For this
reason, if the vehicle is mainly used in areas with a
high degree of atmospheric humidity, the fluid should
be replaced at more frequent intervals than specified
in the “Schedule Servicing Plan”.
Prevent brake fluid, which is highly
corrosive, from coming into contact with
painted parts.Wash with water
immediately if this should happen.
WARNING
Brake fluid is poisonous and highly
corrosive. In the event of accidental
contact , wash the parts immediately with water
and mild soap, then rinse with plenty of water.
Call a doctor immediately if swallowed.
WARNING
Symbol
on the contain indicates a
synthetic brake fluid, which is different
from a mineral fluid. Using a mineral-type fluid
will damage the special rubber seals of the
braking system beyond repair.

AIR CLEANER/ POLLEN FILTERHave the air cleaner or the pollen filter replaced by a
Fiat Dealership.
BATTERYThe battery is of the “limited maintenance” type:
under normal conditions of use, the electrolyte does
not need topping up with distilled water.
It does, however, need to be checked regularly at a
Fiat Dealership or by specialist personnel to make
sure it is working properly.
WARNING
The battery fluid is poisonous and
corrosive. Avoid contact with the skin
and eyes. Keep naked flames and sources of
sparks away from the battery: risk of explosion
and fire.
WARNING
Running the battery with an excessively
low liquid level will damage the battery
beyond repair and even cause an explosion.
REPLACING THE BATTERY
If required, replace the battery with an original spare
part with the same specifications.
If a battery with different specifications is fitted, the
service intervals given in the “Scheduled Servicing
Plan” will no longer be valid.
