Checking The Oil
If when you pull the dipstick you find it to be bone dry, contact Fiat for a longer dipstick.

 

And finally...

The manual states:

"Do not use the ash tray as a waste paper basket: it could catch fire on contact with cigarette butts"
If this has happend to you or you may not have realised that this could happen, would you please take your car to the nearest Fiat dealer and hand back the keys as you are a gibbon and should only come into contact with automotive components if they are swinging from a tree by a rope.
