ation is detected contact your

Every 3 000 miles
Check the fluid level. Correct level
is between the MIN and MAX marks
on dipstick A.
Before checking the fluid level
drive about 6 miles to reach normal
operating temperature, stop the car
on level ground but keep the engine
running at idling speed, and move the
gear selector lever to P or N.
If necessary, top up to the MAX
mark through filler B using Fiat GI/A
or equivalent grade of automatic trans-
mission fluid. Do not overfill.
The utmost care should be taken
to ensure that both the containers and
the funnel used for topping up are
absolutely clean.
Following emergency topping-up
after a sudden leak, owners are
recommended to contact the nearest
FIAT Dealer for a general inspection
of the transmission.
Every 30 000 miles or two years -

mission. If the fluid is found to be
heavily soiled, also renew the filter in

associated seal.
