ELECTRIC WINDOWS
Electric windows are fitted with safe-
ty anti-crushing gaskets. The system
control unit can feel the presence of
an obstacle when winding up the win-
dow: in this case it stops the window
winding up and reverses it immedi-
ately.
IMPORTANTWith the ignition
key at Sor removed, electric windows
work for 1 minute.
IMPORTANTIf, after disconnect-
ing the battery, the electric window
winder does not work, initialize the
system; release the control and oper-
ate it again until the window is com-
pletely closed and keep it pressed for
one second after the limit switch. The
system will start working properly
again.Incorrect use of the elec-
tric windows could be
dangerous. Before and
when pressing the switches, al-
ways make sure that passengers
cannot be injured either directly
by moving glass or by personal ef-
fects being dragged along or hit
by the glass. Always remove the
ignition key when getting out of
the vehicle to make sure that the
electric windows cannot be acci-
dentally operated and constitute
a hazard for passengers remain-
ing in the vehicle.VERSIONS WITH FRONT

STORING THE CAR
The following precautions should be
taken if the car will not be used for
several months:
– park the vehicle in covered, dry and
if possible well-ventilated premises;
– engage a gear (Pfor versions with
automatic electronic gear);
– make sure the handbrake is not en-
gaged;
– clean and protect the painted parts
using protective wax;
– sprinkle talcum powder on the rub-
ber windscreen and rear window
wiper blades and lift them off the glass;
– slightly open the windows;
– inflate the tyres to 0.5 bar above
the normal specified pressure and
check it at intervals;– switch off the electronic car alarm;
– disconnect the terminals (–) from
the battery poles (negative pole first)
and check the battery charge. When
the vehicle is in storage, this check
should be carried out once a month.
If no-load voltage is less than 12.5V,
recharge the battery;
– do not drain the engine cooling sys-
tem;
– cover the vehicle with a cloth or
perforated plastic sheet. Do not use
sheets of non-perforated plastic as
they do not allow moisture on the car
body to evaporate.RESTARTING THE CAR
AFTER STORAGE
Before restarting the vehicle after a
long storage, make the following op-
erations:
– do not take dust off the bodywork
without water;
– check if there are fluid leakages (oil,
brake and clutch fluid, engine coolant,
etc.);
– have the engine oil and the filter re-
placed;
– check the level of: brake and clutch
fluid, engine coolant;

REPLACEMENT fig. 11
Make the following operations:
– remove the jack lever;
– drive off side screws Aand remove
cap B;
– extract the inside filter and replace
it.POLLEN FILTER
This filter has a mechanical/electro-
static air filtering action, provided that
windows and doors are closed.
Have the pollen filter checked at a
Fiat Dealership, preferably at the
beginning of spring/summer.If the car is often used in dusty or ex-
tremely polluted environments, you
should change the filter element more
frequently than shown in the Service
Schedule.
IMPORTANTIf the pollen filter is
not replaced the climate control sys-
tem efficiency may be reduced.

Windows
Use specific window cleaners to
clean the windows. Use very clean
cloths to avoid scratching the glass or
damaging the transparency.
IMPORTANT To prevent damage
to the electric heater element, wipe
the inside of the heated rear window
gently in the same direction as the el-
ements.
Engine compartment
At the end of each winter season,
carefully clean the engine compart-
ment. Have this done at a garage.IMPORTANTThe engine com-
partment should be washed while the
engine is cold and with the ignition key
at S. After washing, make sure that the
various protections (e.g. rubber boots
and various guards) have not been re-
moved or damaged.INTERIORS
From time to time check that water
has not collected under the mats
(from dripping shoes, umbrellas, etc.)
which could cause the steel to rust. Detergents pollute wa-
ter. The vehicle must
therefore be washed in an
area equipped for the collection
and purification of the liquids
used while washing.
Never use flammable
products (petroleum
ether or petrol) to clean
the inside of the vehicle. Electro-
static charges generated by rub-
bing while cleaning could cause
fires.
