IMPORTANT

34) 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.

3) Used transmission fluid contains substances that are harmful to the environment. It is advisable to have the oil changed by a Fiat Dealership

where it will be disposed of respecting the environment and according to legal requirements.

conditions under which the vehicle is

used.

ENGINE OIL

Engine oil level check

A

B

Check the oil level a few minutes (about

5) after the engine has stopped, with

the vehicle parked on level ground.

Take out the dipstick (A) fig. 231 -

fig. 232, clean it and then reinsert it

fully; take it out and check that the level

is between the MIN and MAX marks on

the dipstick. The interval between MIN

and MAX marks corresponds to about

1 litre of oil.

WARNING Always top up using engine

oil of the same specifications as that

already in the engine.

148)

F0T0437

ENGINE COOLANT

The coolant level should be checked

when the engine is cold and should be

between the MIN and MAX lines on the

vessel.

WARNING If the engine oil level after

the check is over the MAX level, go to a

Fiat Dealership to have the correct level

restored.

Topping up the engine oil

If the level of the oil is close to or even

below the MIN - mark, add oil through

the filler fitting (B) fig. 231 - fig. 232 until

the MAX mark is reached.

Natural Power versionsfig. 231

WARNING After adding or changing

the oil, let the engine turn over for a few

seconds and wait a few minutes after

turning it off before you check the level.

Engine oil consumption

The maximum engine oil consumption

is usually 400 grams every 1000 km.

When the vehicle is new, the engine

needs to be run in, therefore the

engine oil consumption can only be

considered stabilised after the first

5,000–6,000 km.

If the level is low, pour into the vessel

through cap (A) fig. 233 a 50% mixture

of demineralised water and PETRONAS

The fluid level in the reservoir must not

You are advised to use the brake fluid

shown in the "Fluids and lubricants"

table to top up (see "Technical

Specifications"). Take great care to

ensure that impurities do not enter the

reservoir when the cap (A) is opened.

Always use a funnel with a built-in filter

with a mesh of 0.12 mm or less.

The level may exceed the MAX mark

when the oil is hot. If topping up is

required, make sure the oil you use has

the same specifications as that already

To add fluid lift the cap (A) fig. 234

and pour in a mixture of water and

PETRONAS DURANCE SC 35 fluid, in

the following proportions:

30% PETRONAS DURANCE SC 35

and 70% water in summer;

and 50% water in winter.

At temperatures below -20°C, use

BATTERY

WARNING 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

“Service Schedule”.

The battery is “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

periodically at a Fiat Dealership or by

whether it should be integrated with a

more powerful battery.

Since some of these devices continue

to consume electricity even when the

motor is off, they gradually run down

the battery.

do not keep accessories (e.g. radio,

hazard warning lights, etc.) switched on

for a long time when the engine is not

running;

before performing any operation on

the electrical system, disconnect the

battery negative cable;

155) 156)

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.

completely tighten the battery

terminals.

WARNING

WARNING If the charge level remains

under 50% for a long time, the battery

is damaged by sulphation, reducing its

capacity and efficiency at start-up.

148) Be very careful working in the engine

compartment when the engine is hot: you

may get burned. Remember that the fan

may start up if the engine is hot: this could

injure you. Scarves, ties and other loose

clothing might be pulled by moving parts.

149) Do not remove the reservoir cap

when the engine is very hot as there is

a risk of scalding. The cooling system is

pressurised. If necessary, only replace the

cap with another original or the operation

of the system may be adversely affected.

150) Do not travel with the windscreen

washer fluid reservoir empty: the

windscreen washer is essential for

improving visibility.

151) Some commercial windscreen

washer additives are flammable. The

engine compartment contains hot parts

which could start a fire if they come into

contact.

Follow the battery manufacturer's

instructions for maintenance.

157)

38) 39)

The battery is also more prone to the

risk of freezing (at temperatures as high

as -10°C).

In case of prolonged idling, refer to the

"Vehicle inactivity" paragraph in this

chapter.

If, after buying the vehicle, you want

to install electrical accessories which

require permanent electric supply

(alarm, etc.) or accessories that in any

case burden the electrical supply,

contact a Fiat Dealership, whose

qualified personnel, in addition

to suggesting the most suitable

devices from Lineaccessori Fiat,

will evaluate the overall electrical

consumption, checking whether the

vehicle’s electrical system is capable

of withstanding the load required, or

5)

Useful advice for extending the life

of your battery

To avoid draining your battery and

make it last longer, observe the

following instructions:

when you park the vehicle, ensure

that the doors, tailgate and bonnet

are closed properly, to prevent any

ceiling lights from remaining on inside

the passenger's compartment;

switch off all ceiling lights inside

the vehicle: the vehicle is however

equipped with a system which

switches all internal lights off

automatically;

152) Brake fluid is poisonous and highly

corrosive. In the event of accidental

contact, immediately wash the affected

parts with water and mild soap. Then rinse

thoroughly. Call a doctor immediately if

swallowed.
