Notes and recommendations

NOTES AND RECOMMENDATIONS

1. Due to the nature of the transmission, the engine cannot be started by pushing or towing the vehicle
2. When stationary on an incline, do not attempt to hold the vehicle by revving the engine. This practice overheats the electromagnetic clutch, resulting in possible component damage.
3. When stall-testing the engine, do not hold maximum throttle for more than 5 seconds.
4. The transmission fluid must be periodically replaced, as detailed in the service manual. Always use the correct oil type, do not mix it with other products.
5. The valves contain high tolerance components, when cleaning them use a clean, lint-free cloth.
6. When reassembling the metal belt ensure that the arrow on the bevelled side of the steel blocks lines up with the rotation direction.
7. Checking oil level.
   Oil level checks must be performed with the engine idling, the vehicle on level ground and the selector lever in "P" or "N". Use the dipstick provided.
   The minimum and maximum oil levels are shown on one dipstick face for hot oil, the other face is for cold oil:
   • Use the COOL face when the transmission is at 20-40 °C
   • Use the HOT face when the transmission is at 60-80 °C

NOTE Use only Fiat TUTELA CVT oil
