working in the engine  
compartment: the pres-  
ence of flammable gas and  
vapour could cause a fire.

the various types of fluids  
when you are topping up:  
they are all mutually incompati-  
ble and could damage the vehicle.

ENGINE OIL fig. 6, 7, 8  
Be very careful under  
the bonnet: you risk burn-  
ing yourself. Remember  
that when the engine is hot, the  
fan can start up and cause in-  
juries.  
If the oil level is near or actually be-  
low the MIN mark, add oil through  
the filler until it reaches the MAX  
mark.  
Check engine oil with the vehicle on  
level ground and while the engine is  
still warm (approximately 5 minutes  
after stopping the engine.  
Oil level shall never exceed the  
MAX mark.  
The oil level should be included be-  
tween the MIN and MAX reference  
marks on the dipstick.  
The space between MIN and MAX  
equals about 1 litre of oil.  
Do not add oil with dif-  
ferent specifications from  
the oil already in the en-  
gine.

ENGINE OIL CONSUMPTION  
Used engine oil and re-  
placed oil filters contain  
Max engine oil consumption is usu-  
ally 400 grams every 1000 km.  
substances which can  
harm the environment. We rec-  
ommend you have the vehicle  
seen to at a Fiat Dealership for  
the oil and filter change. It is suit-  
ably equipped for disposing of  
used oil and filters in an environ-  
mentally-friendly way that com-  
plies with the law.  
During the beginning of the vehicle’s  
life the engine is be tuned in. Engine oil  
consumption can only be considered  
stabilised after the first 5000 ÷ 6000  
km.  
IMPORTANT After topping up or  
changing the oil, let the engine turn for  
a few seconds and wait a few minutes  
after stopping it before you check the  
level.  
IMPORTANT Oil consumption  
depends on the driving style and the  
conditions of use.

WINDSCREEN/REAR  
WINDOW WASHER FLUID  
tifreeze fluid PARAFLU  
The coolant level shall be checked  
with cold engine and shall be within  
the MIN and MAX marks on the  
tank.  
To top up, remove the cap A-fig. 12  
and lift the telescopic filler B, until it

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 hap-  
pen, under no circumstances  
start the engine; contact a Fiat  
Dealership.  
Pour a mixture of water and  
TUTELA PROFESSIONAL SC  
35, in the following concentrations:  
If the level is low, pour slowly a mix-  
ture of 50% distilled water and 50%  
PARAFLU UP of the FL Selenia  
Group through the filler neck until the  
level reaches MAX.  
30% of TUTELA PROFESSION-  
AL SC 35 and 70% of water in sum-  
mer; 50% of TUTELA PROFES-  
SIONAL SC 35 and 50 of water in  
winter. If the temperature falls below  
–20°C, use TUTELA PROFES-  
SIONAL SC 35 undiluted.  
A 50-50 mixture of PARAFLU UP  
and distilled water gives freeze pro-  
tection to –35°C.  
For particularly hard climate condi-  
tions, we recommend use of a 60%  
PARAFLU UP and 40% deminer-  
alized water mixture.  
The cooling system is  
pressurised. If necessary,  
replace the cap only with  
another genuine one, otherwise  
system efficiency could be com-  
promised. Do not remove the  
reservoir cap when the engine is  
hot: you risk scalding yourself.
