SCHEDULED
SERVICING
Correct servicing is crucial for
guaranteeing a long life for the vehicle
under the best conditions.
This is why Fiat has planned a
series of checks and services every
30,000/35,000 km.
The scheduled maintenance
programme does not, however, cover
all the vehicle requirements; during the
initial period, before the 30,000/35,000
kilometre service and later on, between
services, routine operations must be
carried out like systematically checking
and topping up fluid levels, checking
the tyre inflation pressure, etc.
WARNING Scheduled Servicing
interventions are set out by the
Manufacturer. Failure to have them
carried out may invalidate the warranty.
Scheduled Servicing can be carried
out by any Fiat Dealership, at pre-
established times.
If during each operation, in addition to
the ones scheduled, the need arises
for further replacements or repairs,
these may only be carried out with the
express agreement of the Customer.
WARNING It is advisable to inform a
Fiat Dealership of any small operating
irregularities without waiting for the
next service. If your vehicle is used
frequently for towing, the interval
between service coupons must be
reduced.

ENGINE OIL
Engine oil level check
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.
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.
1.4 Euro 6 / Euro 6d / Euro 6d Final /
Natural Power versionsfig. 231

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.
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.
WARNING The oil consumption
depends on driving style and the
conditions under which the vehicle is
used.
WARNING Always top up using engine
oil of the same specifications as that
already in the engine.
148)
35)
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.
233
F0T0078
If the level is low, pour into the vessel
through cap (A) fig. 233 a 50% mixture
of demineralised water and PETRONAS
LUBRICANTS PARAFLUUP.
The mixture of 50% PARAFLUUP and
50% distilled water protects against
freezing down to temperatures of -
35
°
C. For particularly harsh climate
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

BRAKE FLUID
Undo the cap (A) fig. 235: check that
the liquid contained in the reservoir is at
the maximum level.
235
F0T0080
The fluid level in the reservoir must not
exceed the MAX mark.
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.
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”.

BATTERY
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

specialist personnel to make sure it is
working correctly.
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.
Follow the battery manufacturer's
instructions for maintenance.
157)
38) 39)
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;
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;
completely tighten the battery
terminals.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
185
153)
The symbol
, on the brake fluid
container indicates if a brake fluid is
synthetic or mineralbased. Use of mineral
type fluids will damage the special rubber
seals of the braking system beyond repair.
154)
Prevent power steering fluid from
coming into contact with hot engine parts:
it is flammable.
155)
Battery fluid is poisonous and
corrosive. Avoid contact with skin and
eyes. Keep naked flames and sources of
sparks away from the battery: risk of
explosion and fire.
156)
Using the battery with low fluid will
irreparably damage the battery and may
cause an explosion.
157)
Always wear appropriate goggles to
protect your eyes when working on or near
the battery.
35)
Used engine oil and replaced oil filters
contain substances which are harmful to
the environment. To change oil and filters,
we advise you to contact a Fiat Dealership.
36)
PARAFLUUP anti-freeze fluid is used in
the cooling system. Use fluid of the same
type as that contained in the cooling
system for topping up. PARAFLU UP fluid
cannot be mixed with any other type
of fluid. If this occurs, do not start the
engine and contact your Fiat Dealership
immediately.
37)
Prevent brake fluid, which is highly
corrosive, from coming into contact
with painted parts. Should it happen,
immediately wash with water.
38)
Incorrect installation of electric and
electronic devices may cause severe
damage to your vehicle. After purchasing
your vehicle, if you wish to install any
accessories (anti-theft, radio phone, etc.),
go to a Fiat Dealership, which will suggest
the most suitable devices and advise you
whether a higher capacity battery needs to
be installed.
39)
If the vehicle will be unused for an
extended period of time in extremely cold
weather conditions, remove the battery
and store it in a heated area to prevent it
from freezing.
4)
Power steering fluid consumption is
extremely low; if another top-up is required
after only a short period of time, have
the system checked for leaks at a Fiat
Dealership.
5)
Batteries contain substances which are
very harmful for the environment. You are
recommended to go to a Fiat Dealership
to have the battery replaced where the old
battery will be disposed of respecting both
the environment and the laws in force.
RECHARGING THE
BATTERY
WARNING The battery recharging
procedure is given as information
only. You are advised to contact a
Fiat Dealership to have this operation
carried out.
Charging should be slow at a low
ampere rating for approximately 24
hours. Charging for a longer time may
damage the battery.
To recharge, proceed as follows:
without Start&Stop system:
disconnect the terminal from the
negative battery pole;
connect the charger cables to the
battery terminals, observing the
polarity;
turn on the battery charger;
when it is recharged, turn the charger
off before disconnecting it from the
battery;
reconnect the terminal to the
negative battery pole.

negative cable (
–
) to the negative
terminal. The battery terminals are
marked with the positive (+) and
negative (
–
) symbols, and are shown on
the battery cover. The battery terminals
must also be corrosion-free and firmly
secured to the terminals. If a "quick-
type" battery charger is used with the
battery fitted on the car, disconnect
both battery leads before connecting
it. Do not use a "quick-type" battery
charger to provide the starting voltage.
158) 159)
158)
Battery fluid is poisonous and
corrosive: avoid contact with your skin and
eyes. The battery should be charged in a
well ventilated place, away from naked
flames or possible sources of sparks:
danger of explosion and fire.
159)
Do not attempt to charge a frozen
battery: it must be thawed first, otherwise
it may explode. If freezing has occurred,
the battery should be checked by skilled
personnel to make sure that the internal
elements are not damaged and that the
body is not cracked, with the risk of leaking
poisonous and corrosive acid.
