NOTE Do not check the fluid level if you
have just driven the vehicle for a long time
at high speed, if you have driven in city
traffic in hot weather, or if the vehicle has
been pulling a trailer. Wait until the fluid
cools down (about 30 minutes), or the
fluid level indication will not be correct.
❒Park your vehicle on level ground.
❒Apply the parking brake and then start
the engine in “P” (Park). Let it idle for
two minutes and keep it running during
the fluid level check.
❒With your foot on the brake pedal,
move the gearshift lever through each
range, pausing for about three seconds
in each range. Then move it back to the
“P” (Park) position.
❒The handle of the A/T fluid dipstick is
colored red or orange for easy identi-
fication. Remove the dipstick, clean it
and push it back in until the cap seats.
Then pull out the dipstick.
❒Check both sides of the dipstick, and
read the lowest level. The fluid level
should be between the two marks in
the “HOT” range on the dipstick.1.FULL HOT
2.LOW HOT
3.The lowest point = Fluid level
❒Add just enough specified fluid through
the dipstick hole to fill the transaxle to
the proper level.
IMPORTANT After checking or adding oil,
be sure to insert the dipstick securely.
CHANGING OIL
Since special procedures, materials, and
tools are required to change the auto-
matic transaxle oil, it is recommended that
you trust this job to your authorized
FIAT dealer.

Be sure to depress the brake
pedal when moving the
gearshift lever, or the vehicle can
move suddenly.
