Dear Customer, Thank you for choosing 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 to the road for the first time. You will find information, tips and important warnings regarding the driving of your car to help you get the most from the technological features of your Fiat.
VERY IMPORTANT REFUELLING K Petrol engines: refuel only with unleaded petrol with an octane rating (RON) of no less than 95 conforming to the European specification EN 228. Diesel engines: refuel only with diesel fuel conforming to the European specification EN590. The use of other products or mixtures may damage the engine beyond repair and consequently invalidate the warranty depending on the damage caused.
ELECTRICAL ACCESSORIES If, after buying the car, you decide to add electrical accessories (with the risk of gradually draining the battery), contact a Fiat Dealership. They can calculate the overall electrical requirement and check that the vehicle electric system can support the required load. CODE CARD (for versions/markets where provided) Keep it in a safe place, not in the car. Make sure you have the electronic code written on the CODE card with you at all times.

DASHBOARD AND CONTROLS The system is completed by EBD (Electronic Brakeforce Distribution), which distributes the braking action between front and rear wheels. IMPORTANT For the maximum efficiency of the braking system, a bedding-in period of about 500 km is needed (for a new vehicle or after having replaced the brake pads/discs): during this period it is better to avoid sharp, repeated and prolonged braking.
The ESP system is therefore particularly useful when road surface grip changes. In addition to the ESP system, ASR system and Hill Holder, the MSR system (adjusting the engine braking torque) and the HBA system (improving the braking force during emergency braking) are also provided (for versions/markets where provided).

Have checks and adjustments carried out in accordance with the “Scheduled Servicing Plan”. Tyres Check the pressure of the tyres routinely at an interval of no more than 4 weeks: if the pressure is too low, consumption levels increase as resistance to rolling is higher.

DASHBOARD AND CONTROLS SAFETY For this reason, Fiat has prepared a series of checks and maintenance operations to be performed every 30,000 km. STARTING UP AND DRIVING It is, however, important to remember that scheduled servicing does not completely cover all the car’s requirements: even in the initial period before 30,000 km, and then subsequently between one service and another, ordinary care is always required such as routine checks involving topping up fluid level, checking tyre pressures etc...

It is recommended to use PETRONAS LUBRICANTS products, designed and produced specifically for Fiat cars (see table “Capacities” in chapter “Technical Specifications”).
DASHBOARD AND CONTROLS SAFETY STARTING UP AND DRIVING WARNING LIGHTS AND MESSAGES WARNING Never smoke while working in the engine compartment: gas and inflammable vapours may be present, with the risk of fire.

ENGINE COOLANT – fig. 9 The coolant level must be checked when the engine is cold and must be between the MIN and MAX marks on the container. If the level is low, slowly pour a mixture of 50% distilled water and 50% PARAFLUUP WARNING Do not remove the reservoir cap when the engine is very hot: you may be scalded. The cooling system is pressurised. If necessary, only replace the cap with another genuine one or the operation of the system may be adversely affected.
For topping-up, always use a funnel with integrated filter with mesh equal to or lower than 0.12 mm. INDEX TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS SERVICING AND CARE IN AN EMERGENCY WARNING LIGHTS AND MESSAGES STARTING UP AND DRIVING SAFETY DASHBOARD AND CONTROLS NOTE Carefully clean the reservoir cap A and the surrounding surface. WARNING Do not travel if the windscreen washer reservoir is empty: using the windscreen washer is essential for improving visibility.
The level may go over the MAX mark when the oil is hot. If topping up is required, make sure the new oil has the same specifications as that already in the system. WARNING LIGHTS AND MESSAGES IN AN EMERGENCY Check that the oil level with the car on flat ground and the engine cold is between the MIN and MAX marks on the reservoir body. SERVICING AND CARE POWER STEERING FLUID – fig. 12 WARNING Do not allow the power steering system fluid to come into contact with hot engine parts, as it is flammable.
DASHBOARD AND CONTROLS BATTERY Have the air cleaner replaced by a Fiat Dealership. The car is fitted with a low-maintenance battery: no top-ups with distilled water are needed in standard conditions of use. POLLEN FILTER CHECKING THE CHARGE CONDITIONS fig. 13 (for versions/markets, where provided) Use the gauge A (for versions/markets, where provided) on the battery lid positioned as shown in fig. 13 and take action according to its colour. Refer to the table below.
DASHBOARD AND CONTROLS WARNING Always wear appropriate goggles when working on or near the battery. SAFETY Incorrect assembly of electric and electronic devices may cause severe damage to your car. Go to a Fiat Dealership if you want to install accessories (alarms, mobile phone, etc.): they will suggest the most suitable devices and advise you whether a higher capacity battery needs to be installed.
DASHBOARD AND CONTROLS SAFETY STARTING UP AND DRIVING WARNING LIGHTS AND MESSAGES IN AN EMERGENCY SERVICING AND CARE INDEX TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS 192 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 car, ensure the doors, tailgate and bonnet are closed properly, to prevent any light from remaining on inside the passenger compartment; ❒ the internal roof lights must be off.
B low pressure: tread particularly worn at the edges. ❒ Avoid braking suddenly, burning starts and violent knocks against curbs, potholes or other obstacles if possible. Driving for long stretches over bumpy roads can damage the tyres; C high pressure: tread particularly worn in the centre. ❒ check the tyres regularly for cuts on the sides, swelling or irregular tread wear. Contact a Fiat Dealership if required; The tyres must be replaced when the tread is less than 1.6 mm thick.
DASHBOARD AND CONTROLS INDEX TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS SERVICING AND CARE IN AN EMERGENCY WARNING LIGHTS AND MESSAGES STARTING UP AND DRIVING SAFETY WARNING If the pressure is too low, the tyre will overheat and could be seriously damaged. 194 WARNING Avoid switching the tyres from the right side of the vehicle to the left side and vice versa. WARNING Never submit alloy rims to repainting treatments requiring the use of temperatures exceeding 150°C.
DASHBOARD AND CONTROLS Replacing the windscreen wiper blades – fig. 15 How to remove the blade: ❒ raise the windscreen wiper arm A; SAFETY ❒ rotate blade B 90° around pin C, located at the end of the wiper arm; Instructions for fitting the blade: SPRAY NOZZLES ❒ insert the blade fastening tabs in the hole on the end of the arm; Windscreen washer – fig. 16 ❒ lower the arm so the blade rests back on the windscreen.
DASHBOARD AND CONTROLS SAFETY BODYWORK The main ones are: PROTECTION FROM ATMOSPHERIC AGENTS ❒ painting products and systems which give the car particular resistance to corrosion and abrasion; The main causes of corrosion are the following: INDEX TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS SERVICING AND CARE IN AN EMERGENCY WARNING LIGHTS AND MESSAGES STARTING UP AND DRIVING ❒ atmospheric pollution; 196 ❒ salty air and humidity (coastal areas, or hot humid climates); ❒ seasonal environmental conditions.
Do not wash the car after it has been left in the sun or with the bonnet hot: this may alter the shine of the paintwork. If you put the vehicle through a car wash, follow these recommendations: Exterior plastic parts must be cleaned in the same way as the rest of the car.

The fabric upholstery of your car is designed to withstand normal wear and tear for a long time. Some precautions are however needed. Avoid prolonged rubbing against clothing accessories, such as metal buckles, bosses, Velcro strips and the like, which by applying a high pressure on the fabric in a small area could cause the breakage of some threads and damage the upholstery.
