USEFUL ADVICE FOR
LENGTHENING THE LIFE
OF YOUR BATTERY
To preserve the battery charge and
its functions, observe the following in-
structions:
– when you park the car, ensure the
doors, tailgate and bonnet are closed
properly. The ceiling lights must be off;
– the battery cables must be well fas-
tened;
– 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.IMPORTANTA battery which is
kept at a charge of less than 50% for
any length of time will be damaged by
sulphation leading to a reduction in
cranking power and a higher risk of
the battery electrolyte freezing (this
may even occur at –10°C). If the car
is inactive for a long period of time, re-
fer to “Storing the car”, in “Getting to
know your car” section.If after buying the car, you want to
install electric accessories which re-
quire permanent electric supply, con-
tact a Fiat Dealership, whose qual-
ified personnel, in addition to sug-
gesting the most suitable devices be-
longing to the Lineaccessori Fiat, will
evaluate the overall electric absorp-
tion, checking whether the vehicle’s
electric system is capable of with-
standing the load required, or whether
it should be integrated with a more
powerful battery.

Changing the rear window
wiper blade fig. 16
Proceed as follows:
– lift the rear window wiper arm A
off the glass and position the blade so
as to form a right angle with the arm;
– remove the pressure fitted blade B
following the arrow direction;
– fit the new blade in the opposite di-
rection and make sure it is properly
locked into place.SPRAY NOZZLES
If there is no jet of liquid, first make
sure that there is liquid in the reser-
voir (see “Checking fluid levels” in this
chapter).
Then make sure that the holes in the
nozzles are not clogged up. Use a pin
for this if necessary.HEADLIGHT
WASHERS
(where fitted) fig. 17
Regularly check that the nozzles are
intact and clean.
The headlight washers are automat-
ically switched on when the wind-
screen washer is operated and the
headlights are on.

CAR MAINTENANCE
211
Only use genuine products when
touching up the paintwork (see the
“Technical specifications” chapter).
Ordinary maintenance of the paint-
work means washing it. The frequen-
cy you should do this depends on the
conditions and the environment the
vehicle is driven in. For example: areas
with high level of air pollution, roads
sprinkled with road saltwash, parking
under trees which drop resin. In these
cases, wash your vehicle more fre-
quently.To wash the vehicle properly:
1)wash the body using a low pres-
sure jet of water;
2)wipe a sponge with a slightly soapy
solution over the bodywork, fre-
quently rinsing the sponge;
3)rinse well with water and dry with
a jet of air or a chamois leather.
When drying the vehicle, be careful
to get at those parts which are not so
easily seen e.g. the door frames, bon-
net and around the headlights where
water can most readily collect. You
should leave the vehicle out in the
open so that any water remaining can
evaporate more easily.
Do not wash the car after it has been
parked in the sun or while the bon-
net is hot: it could take the shine off
the pain.Outside plastic parts must be cleaned
following the usual car washing pro-
cedure.
IMPORTANTIf you wish having
the car washed at an automatic wash-
ing station remove the antenna from
the roof to prevent damaging it.
Where possible avoid parking the ve-
hicle under trees; the resinous sub-
stances that certain species of tree
shed dull the paintwork and increase
the possibility of rust forming.
IMPORTANTBird droppings must
be washed off immediately and with
great care as their acid is particularly
aggressive.
Detergents pollute wa-
ter. For this reason, the
vehicle must be washed in
an area equipped for the collec-
tion and purification of the liquids
used while washing.

CLEANING SEATS
AND FABRICS
Remove dust with a soft brush and
vacuum cleaner.
Brush the seats with a damp sponge
with water and a neutral soap.
CLEANING LEATHER SEATS
Remove the dry dirt with a chamois
leather or very slightly moist cloth
without exerting too much pressure.
Remove liquid or grease stains with
a dry absorbent cloth without rubbing.
Then wipe with a chamois leather or
soft cloth moistened with water and
neutral soap.
IMPORTANTNever use alcohol
or alcohol-based products.STEERING WHEEL/GEAR
LEVER KNOB WITH
GENUINE LEATHER
COVERING
These components shall only be
cleaned with water and neutral soap.
Never use spirit or alcohol-based
products.
Before using special products for
cleaning interiors, read carefully label
instructions and indications to make
sure they are free from spirit and/or
alcohol-based substances.
If when cleaning the windscreen with
special glass products, some drops fall
on the leather covering of the steer-
ing wheel/gear lever knob remove
them immediately and then clean with
water and neutral soap.
IMPORTANTTake the utmost
care when engaging the steering lock
to prevent scratching the leather cov-
ering.PLASTIC PARTS INSIDE
THE CAR
Use special products designed not to
alter the appearance of the compo-
nents.
IMPORTANTDo not use alcohol
or petrol to clean the instrument
panel.
Do not keep aerosol
cans in the vehicle. There
is the risk they might ex-
plode. Aerosol cans must never
be exposed to a temperature
above 50°C; when the weather
starts to get hot the temperature
inside the vehicle might go well
beyond that figure.
