Checking levels

Check all of the following levels regularly in
accordance with the manufacturer's service

schedule. Top them up if required, unless
otherwise indicated.

If a level drops significantly, have the

corresponding system checked by a Fiat

Dealership or a qualified workshop.

The fluids must comply with the

manufacturer's requirements and with

the vehicle's engine.

Take care when working under the
bonnet, as certain areas of the engine

may be extremely hot (risk of burns) and the
cooling fan could start at any time (even with

the ignition off).

Used products

Avoid prolonged contact of used oil or

fluids with the skin.

Most of these fluids are harmful to health and

very corrosive.

Do not discard used oil or fluids into

sewers or onto the ground.

Empty used oil into the containers reserved
for this purpose at a Fiat Dealership or a

qualified workshop.

Engine oil

The level is checked, with the engine

having been switched off for at least 30

minutes and on level ground, either using the oil
level indicator in the instrument panel when the
ignition is switched on (for vehicles equipped
with an electric gauge), or using the dipstick.
It is normal to top up the oil level between two
services (or oil changes). It is recommended
that you check the level, and top up if necessary,
every 3,000 miles (5,000 km).

In order to maintain the reliability of the
engine and emissions control system,

never use additives in the engine oil.

Checking using the dipstick

For the location of the dipstick, please refer
to the illustration of the corresponding engine
compartment.

► Grasp the dipstick by its coloured grip and

pull it out completely.

► Wipe the end of the dipstick using a clean,

lint-free cloth.

► Reinsert the dipstick and push fully down,

then pull it out again to visually check the oil
level: the correct level is between marks

A (max)

and

B (min).

Do not start the engine if the level is:

14/02/2022 15:33:52

205

Practical information

7

– above mark

A

: contact a Fiat Dealership or a

qualified workshop.

– below mark

B

: top up the engine oil

immediately.

Oil grade

Before topping up or changing the

engine oil, check that the oil is suitable
for your engine and complies with the
recommendations in the service schedule
supplied with the vehicle (or available from

your Fiat Dealership or qualified workshop).

Use of non-recommended oil may invalidate
your warranty in the event of engine failure.

Topping up the engine oil level

For the location of the engine oil filler cap, please

refer to the corresponding engine compartment
illustration.

► Add oil in small quantities, avoiding any spills

on engine components (risk of fire).

► Wait a few minutes before checking the level

again using the dipstick.

► Top up the level if necessary.

► After checking the level, carefully screw the

oil filler cap back on and replace the dipstick in

its tube.

The oil level indication displayed on the
instrument panel when the ignition is

switched on is not valid for 30 minutes
following an addition of oil.

Brake fluid

The level of this fluid should be close to

the "

MAX

" mark. If not, check the brake

pads for wear.
To know how often the

brake fluid should be

replaced, refer to the manufacturer's servicing
schedule.

Clean the cap before removing it to refill.

Use only DOT4 brake fluid from a sealed

container.

Power steering fluid

The level of this fluid should be close to

the "

MAX

" mark. Check it, with the

vehicle parked on level ground and with the

engine cold, by reading the level on the filler

neck.

Engine coolant

(Diesel)

It is normal to top up this fluid between

two services.

The check and top-up must only be done with
the engine cold.
A level of coolant that is too low risks causing
major damage to the engine; the coolant level
must be close to the "

MAX

" mark without ever

going above it.
If the level is close to or below the "

MIN

" mark, it

is essential to top it up.

When the engine is hot, the temperature of the
coolant is regulated by the fan.
As the cooling system is pressurised, wait at

least one hour after switching off the engine

before carrying out any work.
In order to avoid the risk of scalding if you need
to top up in an emergency, wrap a cloth around
the cap and unscrew the cap by two turns to
allow the pressure to drop.
Once the pressure has dropped, remove the cap
and top up to the required level.

Vehicle with electric motor

Do not top up the coolant.

If the level is close to or below
the "

MIN

" mark, it is essential to contact a Fiat

Dealership or a qualified workshop.

Screenwash fluid

Top up to the required level when
necessary.

Fluid specification

The fluid must be topped up with a pre-mixed

product.

In winter (temperatures below zero), a fluid

containing an anti-freeze agent which is

14/02/2022 15:33:52

206

Practical information

appropriate for the temperature conditions
must be used in order to protect the system's
components (pump, tank, ducts, jets).

Filling with pure water is prohibited in all
circumstances (risk of freezing,

limescale, etc.).

Diesel fuel additive (Diesel

with particle filter)

On reaching the minimum level in

the particle filter additive tank, one

of these warning lamps comes on fixed,

accompanied by an audible signal and a warning
message.

Topping up

The topping up of this additive must be carried
out quickly.

Visit a Fiat Dealership or a qualified workshop.

AdBlue

®

(BlueHDi)

An alert is triggered when the reserve level is
reached.
For more information on the

Indicators

and in

particular the AdBlue range indicators, refer to
the corresponding section.
To avoid the vehicle being immobilised in
accordance with regulations, you must top up the
AdBlue tank.

For more information on

AdBlue

®

(BlueHDi)

,

and in particular the supply of AdBlue, refer to
the corresponding section.

Checks

Unless otherwise indicated, check these
components in accordance with the
manufacturer's service schedule and according
to your engine.
Otherwise, have them checked by a Fiat

Dealership or a qualified workshop.

Only use products recommended by Fiat
or products of equivalent quality and

specification.

In order to optimise the operation of
components as important as those in the

braking system, Fiat selects and offers very

specific products.

12 V battery

The battery does not require any
maintenance.

Check regularly that the terminals are correctly
tightened (versions without quick-release
terminals) and that the connections are clean.

For more information on the precautions
to take before any work on the

12 V

battery

, refer to the corresponding section.

Versions equipped with Stop & Start are

fitted with a 12 V lead-acid battery with

special technology and specifications.

Its replacement should be carried out only by

a Fiat Dealership or a qualified workshop.

Passenger compartment

filter

Depending on the environment and the
use of the vehicle (e.g. dusty atmosphere,

city driving),

change it twice as often, if

necessary

.

A clogged passenger compartment filter

can adversely affect air conditioning

system performance and generate
undesirable odours.

Air filter

Depending on the environment and the

Particle filter (Diesel)

/

The start of clogging of the

particle filter is indicated by the

temporary lighting of this warning lamp,
accompanied by an alert message.

As soon as traffic conditions allow, regenerate

the filter by driving at a speed of at least 37 mph

(60 km/h), with an engine speed above 2,500
rpm, for about 15 minutes (until the warning lamp
goes out).
If it is not possible to reach 37 mph (60 km/h),
leave the engine running at idle for about 15
minutes, then drive with an engine speed above
2,500 rpm for 15 minutes.

Do not switch off the engine until the filter

is fully regenerated; repeated intervals

can degrade the engine oil prematurely.

Regenerating the filter while the vehicle is

stationary is not recommended.

Following prolonged operation of the
vehicle at very low speed or at idle, you

may, in exceptional circumstances, notice
water vapour coming from the exhaust while
accelerating. These emissions have no
impact on the vehicle’s behaviour and the
environment.

New vehicle

During the first few particle filter

regeneration operations, you may notice a
"burning" smell. This is perfectly normal.

Manual gearbox

The gearbox does not require any
maintenance (no oil change).

Automatic gearbox

The gearbox does not require any
maintenance (no oil change).

Drive selector

The drive selector does not require any
maintenance.

Manual parking brake

If you notice excessive brake lever travel

or decreased effectiveness, the parking

brake must be adjusted, even between two
services.
This system must be checked by a Fiat

Dealership or a qualified workshop.

Electric parking brake

This system does not require any routine
servicing. However, in the event of a

problem, do not hesitate to have the system

checked by a Fiat Dealership or a qualified

workshop.

For more information on the

Electric

parking brake

, refer to the

corresponding section.

Brake pads

Brake wear depends on the style of
driving, particularly in the case of vehicles

used in town, over short distances. It may be
necessary to have the condition of the brakes
checked, even between vehicle services.
Unless there is a leak in the circuit, a drop in the

brake fluid level indicates that the brake pads

are worn.

After washing the vehicle, moisture, or in

wintry conditions, ice can form on the

brake discs and pads: braking efficiency may

be reduced. Gently dab the brakes to dry and
defrost them.

Brake disc/drum wear

For any information on checking brake
disc/drum wear, contact a Fiat Dealership

or a qualified workshop.

Wheels

and tyres

The inflation pressure of all tyres,

including the spare wheel, must be

checked on "cold” tyres.
The pressures indicated on the tyre pressure
label are valid for "cold" tyres. If you have driven
for more than 10 minutes or more than 6 miles
(10 kilometres) at over 31 mph (50 km/h), add
0.3 bar (30 kPa) to the values indicated on the
label.

14/02/2022 15:33:53

208

Practical information

Under-inflation increases energy

consumption. Non-compliant tyre

pressures cause tyres to wear prematurely

and have an adverse effect on the vehicle's

road holding - risk of accident!

Driving with worn or damaged tyres reduces the
braking and road holding performance of the
vehicle. Regularly check the condition of the
tyres (tread and sidewalls) and rims as well as
the presence of the valve caps.
When the wear indicators no longer appear set
back from the tread, the depth of the grooves is
less than 1.6 mm; replace the tyres as soon as
possible.

Using different size wheels and tyres from those

specified can affect the lifetime of tyres, wheel

rotation, ground clearance, the speedometer

reading and have an adverse effect on road

holding.

Fitting different tyres on the front and rear axles

can cause the ESC to mistime.
Always mark the direction of rotation on the tyres

that will be stored when fitting winter or summer

tyres. Store them in a cool, dry place and away
from direct exposure to the sun's rays.

Winter or 4-seasons tyres can be

identified by this symbol on their

sidewalls.

Shock absorbers

It is not easy for drivers to detect when
shock absorbers are worn. Nevertheless,

the shock absorbers have a major impact on
road holding and braking performance.
For your safety and driving comfort, it is
important to have them regularly checked by a

Fiat Dealership or a qualified workshop.

Timing and accessory kits

The timing and accessory kits are used
from the time the engine is started until it

is switched off. It is

normal for them to wear over

time.
A faulty timing or accessory kit can damage
the engine, rendering it unusable. Observe the
recommended replacement frequency, stated in
distance travelled or time elapsed, whichever is

reached first.

AdBlue

®

(BlueHDi)

To respect the environment and ensure
compliance with the Euro 6 standard, without

adversely affecting the

performance or fuel

consumption of its Diesel engines, Fiat has
taken the decision to equip its vehicles with a
system that combines SCR (Selective Catalytic
Reduction) with a Diesel Particle Filter (DPF) for
the treatment of exhaust gases.

SCR system

Using a liquid called AdBlue

®

that contains

urea, a catalytic converter turns up to 85% of
the nitrogen oxides (NOx) into nitrogen and

water, which are harmless to health and the
environment.

The AdBlue

®

is contained in

a special

tank

holding about 20 litres.

Its capacity allows a driving range of
approximately 3,000 miles (5,000 km) (

which

may vary considerably

depending on your

driving style and the vehicle). An alert system
is automatically triggered when the remaining
range reaches 1,500 miles (2,400 km), i.e. once
the reserve level has been reached.
Several alerts are triggered successively during
the remaining 1,500 miles (2,400 km) until the
tank is empty and the vehicle is immobilised.
If the estimated distance travelled by the vehicle
between two services is greater than 3,000 miles
(5,000 km), it will be necessary to top up the
AdBlue.

For more information on the

Warning

and indicator lamps

and the associated

alerts, or the

Indicators

, please refer to the

corresponding sections.

Once the AdBlue

®

tank is empty, a device

required by law prevents the engine from

being restarted.
If the SCR system is faulty, the level of
emissions from the vehicle will no longer meet
the Euro 6 standard and the vehicle starts
polluting the environment.

In the event of a confirmed SCR system

malfunction, it is essential to visit a Fiat

14/02/2022 15:33:53

209

Practical information

7

Dealership or a qualified workshop as soon

as possible. After 685 miles (1,100 km), a
device is automatically activated to prevent
the engine from starting.
In both cases, a range indicator indicates
the distance that can be travelled before the
vehicle is immobilised.

Freezing of the AdBlue

®

AdBlue

®

freezes at temperatures below

around -11°C.
The SCR system includes a heater for the
AdBlue

®

tank, allowing you to continue driving

in very cold conditions.

Supply of AdBlue

®

It is recommended that the AdBlue

®

be topped

up as soon as the first alert is issued indicating

that the reserve level has been reached.

For the correct operation of the SCR
system:

– Use only AdBlue

®

fluid that meets the ISO

22241 standard.
– Never transfer AdBlue

®

to another container

as it would lose its purity.
– Never dilute AdBlue

®

with water.

You can obtain AdBlue

®

from a Fiat Dealership

or a qualified workshop, as well as service

stations equipped with AdBlue

®

pumps specially

designed for passenger vehicles.

Never top up from an AdBlue

®

dispenser

reserved for heavy goods vehicles.

Recommendations on

storage

AdBlue

®

freezes at about -11°C and deteriorates

above +25°C. Containers should be stored in a
cool area and protected from direct sunlight.

Under these conditions, the fluid can be kept for

at least a year.

If the fluid has frozen, it can be used once it has

completely thawed out at room temperature.

Never store AdBlue

®

containers in your

vehicle.

Precautions for use

AdBlue

®

is a urea-based solution. This fluid is

non-flammable, colourless and odourless (when

kept in a cool place).
In the event of contact with the skin, wash the

affected area with soap and running water. In the

event of contact with the eyes, immediately rinse
the eyes with large amounts of water or with an
eye wash solution for at least 15 minutes. Seek
medical attention if you feel a persistent burning
sensation or irritation.
If swallowed, immediately wash out the mouth
with clean water and then drink plenty of water.
In certain conditions (high temperature, for
example), the risk of release of ammonia cannot

be excluded: do not inhale the fluid. Ammonia

vapours have an irritant effect on mucous

membranes (eyes, nose and throat).

Store AdBlue

®

out of the reach of

children, in its original container.

Procedure

Before starting the top-up procedure, ensure that

the vehicle is parked on a flat and level surface.

In wintry conditions, ensure that the temperature
of the vehicle is above -11°C. Otherwise the
AdBlue

®

may be frozen and so cannot be poured

into the tank. Park the vehicle in a warmer area
for a few hours to allow the top-up to be carried
out.

Never pour the AdBlue

®

into the Diesel

fuel tank.

If any AdBlue

®

is splashed, or if there are

any spillages on the bodywork, rinse

immediately with cold water or wipe with a
damp cloth.

If the fluid has crystallised, clean it off using a

sponge and hot water.

Important:

in the event of a top-up after

a breakdown because of a lack of

AdBlue,

it is essential to wait around 5

minutes before switching on the ignition,

without opening the driver’s door,

unlocking the vehicle, inserting the key

Advice on care and

maintenance

General recommendations

Observe the following recommendations to avoid
damaging the vehicle.

Exterior

Never use a high-pressure jet wash in
the engine compartment - risk of

damaging the electrical components!
Do not wash the vehicle in bright sunshine or
extremely cold conditions.

When washing the vehicle in an
automatic roller-brush car wash, be sure

to lock the doors and, depending on version,
move the electronic key away and deactivate
the "hands-free" function (Hands-Free
Tailgate Access).
When using a pressure washer, keep the jet
nozzle at a minimum distance of 30 cm from
the vehicle (particularly when cleaning areas
containing chipped paint, sensors or seals).
