Refuelling
To guarantee full tank filling, carry out two
refuelling operations after the first click of
the fuel delivery gun. Avoid further top-
ping up operations that could cause dam-
ages to the fuel system.
FUEL FILLER CAP fig. 116
To carry out fuelling, open lid A, fit the ig-
nition key into the cap lock and turn it
counterclockwise, then loosen cap B.
The sealing of the tank may cause light
pressurising in the tank. A little breathing
off, while slackening the cap, is absolutely
normal.
When refuelling, secure the cap to the de-
vice Cinside the lid.

AT THE FILLING
STATION
Operation at cold temperatures
If the outside temperature is very low, the
diesel thickens due to the formation of
paraffins and could clog the diesel fuel fil-
ter.
In order to avoid these problems, differ-
ent types of diesel are distributed ac-
cording to the season: summer type, win-
ter type and arctic type (cold, mountain
areas). If refuelling with diesel fuel not suit-
able for the current temperature, mix
diesel fuel with TUTELA DIESEL ART ad-
ditive in the proportions stated on the can,
putting first the antifreeze in the tank and
then the diesel fuel.
Refuel with local diesel fuel if the vehicle
is used/parked in the mountains or in cold
areas for a long period.
In this event you are recommended to
keep an amount of fuel higher than 50% in
the tank.The vehicle must only be filled
with diesel fuel for motor ve-
hicles, in compliance with Eu-
ropean Standard EN590. The
use of other products or mixtures may
irreparably damage the engine with in-
validation of the warranty due to the
damage caused. In the event of acci-
dentally filling with another type of fu-
el, do not start the engine and empty
the tank. If the engine has been run
even for only a very short time, in ad-
dition to the tank, it is also necessary
to drain out the whole fuel circuit.
Keep naked flames or light-
ed cigarettes away from the
fuel filler hole as there is a danger of
fire. Do not bend too close to the hole
either so as not to breathe in harmful
vapours.
WARNING
During refuelling, do not open
the left sliding door due to the
fact that the open fuel door.

ENGINE COOLANT fig. 6
The coolant level shall be checked with
cold engine and shall be within the MIN
and MAXmarks on the tank.
If the level is low, pour slowly a mixture
of 50% distilled water and 50%
PARAFLU UP of the FL Selenia Group
through the filler neck Auntil the level
reaches the MAXmark.
A 50-50 mixture of PARAFLU UPand
distilled water gives freeze protection to
–35°C.
fig. 6F0P0152m
The engine cooling system us-
es protective antifreeze fluid
PARAFLU UP. Use the same
fluid type as that already in
the cooling system when topping up.
PARAFLU UP fluid cannot be mixed
with any other type of fluid. Should it
happen, under no circumstances start
the engine; contact a Fiat Dealership.
The cooling system is pres-
surised. If necessary, replace
the cap only with another genuine
one, otherwise system efficiency
could be compromised. Do not re-
move the reservoir cap when the en-
gine is hot: you risk scalding yourself.
WARNING
Used engine oil and filter con-
tain harmful substances for
the environment. Contact Fi-
at 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.
Do not add oil with specifica-
tions other than that already
in the engine.

BLADES
Periodically clean the rubber part using
special products; TUTELA PROFES-
SIONAL SC 35is recommended.
Change the blades if the rubber edge is
warped or worn out. You should in any case
change them approximately once a year.
A few simple notions can reduce the pos-
sibility of damage to the blades:
❒ if the temperature fall below zero,
make sure that ice has not frozen the
rubber against glass. If necessary, thaw
using an antifreeze product;
❒ remove any snow from the glass: in ad-
dition to protecting the blades, this pre-
vents effort on the motor and over-
heating;
❒do not operate the windscreen wipers
on dry glass.
Driving with worn wiper
blades is a serious hazard,
because visibility is reduced in bad
weather.
WARNING
RUBBER HOSES
As far as the brake system and fuel rubber
hoses are concerned, carefully follow the
“Service schedule” in this section.
Indeed ozone, high temperatures and pro-
longed lack of fluid in the system may
cause hardening and cracking of the hoses,
with possible leaks. Careful control is
therefore necessary.If the pressure is too low the
tyre overheats and this can
cause it serious damage.
WARNING
Do not cross switch the
tyres, moving them from the
right of the vehicle to the left and vice
versa.
WARNING
Never submit alloy rims to
repainting treatments re-
quiring to use temperatures exceed-
ing 150°C since the mechanical prop-
erties of the wheels could be im-
paired.
