Dear Customer, Thank you for selecting Fiat and congratulations on your choice of a Fiat Linea. We have written this handbook to help you get to know all the features of your car and use it in the best possible way. You should read it right through before taking the road for the first time. You will find information, tips and important warnings regarding the driving of your car to help you derive the maximum from the technological features of your Fiat.
MUST BE READ! REFUELLING K petrol engines: only refuel with unleaded petrol with octane rating (RON) not less than 95 conforming to the European specification EN 228. Diesel engines: only refuel with diesel fuel conforming to the European specification EN590. The use of other products or mixtures may damage the engine beyond repair and consequently cause lapse of warranty in relation to the damage caused.
ELECTRICAL ACCESSORIES If, after buying the car, you decide to add electrical accessories (with the risk of gradually draining the battery), visit a Fiat Dealership. They can calculate the overall electrical requirement and check that the car’s electric system can support the required load. CODE card Keep it in a safe place, non in the car. Make sure you have the electronic code with you at all times.

DASHBOARD AND CONTROLS ENGINE OIL CONSUMPTION The maximum engine oil consumption is usually 400 grams every 1,000 km. INDEX TECHNICAL CAR SPECIFICATIONS MAINTENANCE IN AN EMERGENCY WARNING LIGHTS AND MESSAGES CORRECT USE OF THE CAR SAFETY DEVICES When the car is new, the engine needs to run in, therefore the engine oil consumption can only be considered stabilised after the first 5,000 - 6,000 km. 186 fig. 3 - 1.4 version F0R0134m ENGINE OIL fig.
DASHBOARD AND CONTROLS If the level is low, slowly pour a 50% mixture of demineralised water and FL Selenia PARAFLU UP through filler A of the vessel until the level approaches the MAX line. ENGINE COOLANT fig. 5 The coolant level must be checked when the engine is cold and must be between the MIN and MAX lines on the vessel. PARAFLU UP antifreeze is used in the engine cooling system. Use fluid of the same type contained in the cooling system for top-ups.
DASHBOARD AND CONTROLS SAFETY DEVICES CORRECT USE OF THE CAR WARNING LIGHTS AND MESSAGES IN AN EMERGENCY INDEX TECHNICAL CAR SPECIFICATIONS MAINTENANCE 188 Check level through the reservoir. Prevent brake fluid which is highly corrosive from coming into contact with painted parts. Wash with water immediately if this should happen. WARNING Do not travel with the windscreen washing reservoir empty: the windscreen washer is fundamental to improve visibility. fig.
Check that the oil level with the car on flat ground and the engine cold is between the MIN and MAX lines on the reservoir body. The level may go over the MAX line when the oil is hot. If topping up is required, make sure the oil you used has the same specifications as that already in the system. Oil consumption is extremely low; if another top-up should be required after only a short period of time, have the system checked for leakage at a Fiat Dealership.
INDEX TECHNICAL CAR SPECIFICATIONS MAINTENANCE 190 Batteries contain very dangerous substances 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. F0R0140m fig.
❒ switch off all lights inside the car: the car is however equipped with a system which switches all internal lights off automatically; ❒ do not keep accessories (e.g. sound system, hazard 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; ❒ make sure that battery terminals are always be perfectly tight.
DASHBOARD AND CONTROLS SAFETY DEVICES CORRECT USE OF THE CAR WARNING LIGHTS AND MESSAGES IN AN EMERGENCY INDEX TECHNICAL CAR SPECIFICATIONS MAINTENANCE 192 WHEELS AND TYRES ❒ a tyre will age even if it is not used much. Cracks in the tread and on the sidewalls are a sign of ageing. Have the tyres checked by specialised personnel if they have been fitted for longer than 6 years.
Replace the blades if the rubber edge is deformed or worn. In all cases, it is advisable to replace them approximately once a year. A few simple precautions can reduce the possibility of damage to the blades: ❒ make sure that the rubber part is not stuck to the windscreen at sub-zero temperatures. Use an antifreeze product to release it if required.
DASHBOARD AND CONTROLS How to insert the blade: ❒ insert the blade fastening tabs in the hole on the end of the arm; fig. 11 F0R0236m Windscreen washer fig. 12 ❒ raise the windscreen wiper arm A from the windscreen; If there is no jet of fluid, firstly check that there is fluid in the reservoir: see “Checking fluid levels” in this section). IN AN EMERGENCY How to remove the blade: ❒ remove the blade from pin C.
❒ salty air and humidity (coastal areas, or hot humid climates); ❒ seasonal environment conditions. Not to be underestimated is also the abrasive action of wind-borne atmospheric dust and sand and mud and gravel raised by other cars. On your car, Fiat implemented the best manufacturing technologies to effectively protect the bodywork against corrosion.
DASHBOARD AND CONTROLS SAFETY DEVICES CORRECT USE OF THE CAR WARNING LIGHTS AND MESSAGES IN AN EMERGENCY INDEX TECHNICAL CAR SPECIFICATIONS MAINTENANCE 196 Normal maintenance of paintwork consists in washing the car: the frequency depends on the conditions and environment where the car is used. For example, it is advisable to wash the car more often in areas with a high environmental pollution or on roads sprinkled with salt.
Remove dust with a soft brush or a vacuum cleaner. It is advisable to use a moist brush on velvet upholstery. Rub the seats with a sponge moistened with a solution of water and neutral detergent.
