3.Engine oil dipstick
IMPORTANT Failure to check the oil lev-
el regularly could lead to serious engine
trouble due to insufficient oil.REFILLING
Remove the oil filler cap and pour oil
slowly through the filler hole to bring the
oil level to the upper limit on the dipstick.
Be careful not to overfill. Too much oil is
almost as bad as too little oil. After refill-
ing, start the engine and allow it to idle for
about a minute. Stop the engine, wait
about 5 minutes and check the oil level
again. OIL LEVEL CHECK
It is important to keep the engine oil at the
correct level for proper lubrication of
your vehicle’s engine. Check the oil level
with the vehicle on a level surface. The oil
level indication may be inaccurate if the
vehicle is on a slope. The oil level should
be checked either before starting the en-
gine or at least 5 minutes after stopping
the engine.
The handle of the engine oil dipstick is col-
ored yellow for easy identification. Pull out
the oil dipstick, wipe oil off with a clean
cloth, insert the dipstick all the way into
the engine, then remove it again. The oil
on the stick should be between the upper
and lower limits shown on the stick. If the
oil level indication is near the lower limit,
add enough oil to raise the level to the up-
per limit.

Refill with Oil and Check for Leaks
❒Pour oil through the filler hole and in-
stall the filler cap.
For the approximate capacity of the oil,
refer to the “Capacities” item in the
“SPECIFICATIONS” section.
❒Start the engine and look carefully for
leaks at the oil filter and drain plug. Run
the engine at various speeds for at least
5 minutes.
❒Stop the engine and wait about 5 min-
utes. Check the oil level again and add
oil if necessary. Check for leaks again.
IMPORTANT
❒When replacing the oil filter, it is rec-
ommended that you use a genuine
Fiat replacement filter. If you use an af-
termarket filter, make sure it is of
equivalent quality and follow the man-
ufacturer’s instructions.
❒Oil leaks from around the oil filter or
drain plug indicate incorrect installation
or gasket damage. If you find any leaks
or are not sure that the filter has been
properly tightened, have the vehicle in-
spected by your Fiat Dealership.

Gear Oil Level Check
To check the gear oil level, use the fol-
lowing procedure:
❒Park the vehicle on a level surface with
the parking brake applied. Then, stop
the engine.
❒Remove the oil filler plug (1) or (2).
❒Feel the inside of the hole with your fin-
ger. If the oil level comes up to the bot-
tom of the plug hole, the oil level is cor-
rect. If so, reinstall the plug. Diesel engine, manual transaxle oil

TRANSAXLE (AT) FLUID
SPECIFIC FLUID
Contact Fiat Dealership to receive indi-
cations about the proper fluid to use.
FLUID LEVEL CHECK
IMPORTANT Driving with too much or
too little fluid can damage the transaxle.
You must check the fluid level with the au-
tomatic transaxle fluid at normal operat-
ing temperature.
To check the fluid level:
❒To warm up the transaxle fluid, drive
the vehicle or idle the engine until the
temperature gauge indicates normal op-
erating temperature.
❒Then drive for ten more minutes.
IMPORTANT To prevent damages to the
automatic transaxle of your vehicle, nev-
er use a fluid different than that recom-
mended by Fiat Dealership.
❒If the oil level is low, add gear oil
through the oil filler plug hole (1) or (2)
until the oil level reaches the bottom of
the filler hole, then reinstall the plug.

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.

IMPORTANT
To avoid damaging your cooling system:
❒Always use a high quality ethylene gly-
col base non- silicate type coolant di-
luted with distilled water at the correct
mixture concentration.
❒Make sure that the proper mix is 50/50
coolant to distilled water and in no case
higher than 70/30. Concentrations
greater than 70/30 coolant to distilled
water will cause overheating conditions.
❒Do not use straight coolant nor plain
water.
❒Do not add extra inhibitors or addi-
tives. They may not be compatible with
your cooling system.
❒Do not mix different types of base
coolants. Doing so may result in accel-
erated seal wear and/ or the possibili-
ty of severe overheating and extensive
engine/automatic transaxle damage.
ENGINE COOLANT
SELECTION OF COOLANT
To maintain optimum performance and
durability of your engine, use PARAFLU
UP.
This type of coolant is best for your cool-
ing system as it:
❒Helps maintain proper engine temper-
ature.
❒Gives proper protection against freez-
ing and boiling.
❒Gives proper protection against cor-
rosion and rust.
Failure to use the proper coolant can dam-
age your cooling system. Your authorized
Fiat Dealership can help you select the
proper coolant.

COOLANT REPLACEMENT
79J007
It is hazardous to remove the
radiator cap when the water
temperature is high, because scalding
fluid and steam may be blown out un-
der pressure. Wait until the coolant
temperature has lowered before re-
moving the cap.
WARNING
For Gasoline Engine Model
❒When the engine is cool, remove the
radiator cap by turning it slowly to the
left until a “stop” is felt. Do not press
down while turning the cap. Wait until
any pressure is released, then press
down on the cap and continue turning
it anticlockwise.For Diesel Engine Model
Since special procedures are required, we
recommend you take your vehicle to your
Fiat Dealership for coolant replacement.
❒Remove the reservoir by lifting it up,
and drain the reservoir completely.
❒Loosen the drain plug attached to the
lower part of the radiator and drain the
coolant into a suitable container.
❒Reinstall the reservoir and fill it with
coolant to the “FULL” line.
❒Tighten the drain plug on the radiator.
❒Fill the radiator with coolant and install
the radiator cap.
❒After filling, let the engine idle for about
2–3 minutes to get rid of air in the cool-
ing system.
❒Stop the engine.
❒Check the coolant level in the radiator
again. If the level has gone down, add
more coolant.
IMPORTANT The coolant must be re-
placed with the vehicle on level ground.

AIR CLEANER
If the air cleaner is clogged with dust, there
will be greater intake resistance, result-
ing in decreased power output and in-
creased fuel consumption.
IMPORTANT Damage may result if the
washer motor is operated with no fluid in
the washer tank.

Front and rear (for versions/markets, where provided)WINDSHIELD WASHER
FLUID
Check windscreen washer fluid level in the
tank and if required top up with TUTELA
PROFESSIONAL SC35 diluted with wa-
ter, if necessary.
Do not use “antifreeze” so-
lution in the windshield
washer reservoir. This can severely
impair visibility when sprayed on the
windshield, and can also damage your
vehicle’s paint.
WARNING
Certain commercial addi-
tives for windscreen washers
are inflammable. The engine com-
partment contains hot components
which may set it on fire.
WARNING
Do not travel with the wind-
screen washer reservoir
empty: the windscreen washer is fun-
damental for improving visibility.
