The engine cooling system is pressurised.
If necessary, only replace the cap with an-
other genuine one or the operation of the system
may be adversely affected. Do not remove the cap
from the reservoir when the engine is hot: dan-
ger of scalding.
WARNING
The engine cooling system uses protective
antifreeze fluid PARAFLU
UP. Use the same
fluid as in the cooling system when topping
up. PARAFLU
UP
fluid cannot be mixed with any oth-
er type of fluid. If this accidentally occurs, do not
start the engine and contact a Fiat Dealership.
Do not travel with the windscreen wash-
er reservoir empty: the windscreen
washer is fundamental for improving visibility.
WARNING
WINDSCREEN/REAR WINDOW WASHER
FLUID fig. 180
To top-up, remove the cap A.
Pour a mixture of water and TUTELA PROFESSIONAL
SC35, in the following concentrations:
30% TUTELA PROFESSIONAL SC35 and 70% water in
summer.
50% TUTELA PROFESSIONAL SC35 and 50% water in
winter.
At temperatures below −20 °C, use undiluted TUTELA

WINDSCREEN/REAR WINDOW
WIPER/WASHERBLADES
Periodically clean the rubber part using special products;
TUTELA PROFESSIONAL SC 35 is recommended.
Replace the blades if the rubber edge is deformed or worn.
In all cases, it is advisable to replace them approximately once
a year.
A few simple precautions can reduce the possibility of dam-
age to the blades:❒
make sure that the rubber part is not stuck to the wind-
screen at sub-zero temperatures. Use an antifreeze
product to release it if required;
❒
remove any snow from the glass: in addition to pro-
tecting the blades, this prevents effort on the motor
and overheating;
❒
do not operate the windscreen and the rear screen
wipers on dry glass.
RUBBER HOSESAs far as the brake system and fuel rubber hoses are concerned,
follow the “Scheduled Servicing Programme” in this chapter care-
fully.
Ozone, high temperatures and prolonged lack of fluid in the sys-
tem may cause hardening and cracking of the hoses, with pos-
sible leaks. Careful control is therefore necessary.
Driving with worn wiper blades is a serious
hazard, because visibility is reduced in bad
weather.

If the jet of fluid is inadequate, firstly check that there is
fluid in the reservoir: (see “Checking fluid levels” in this
chapter).
Then check that the nozzle holes are not clogged, if nec-
essary clean them using a needle.
The windscreen jets are directed by adjusting the nozzle
angle.
Fluid jets shall be directed at about
1/3height from the win-
dow upper edge.

Glasses
To clean glasses, use specific window cleaner products.
Also use clean cloths to avoid scratching the glass or dam-
aging the transparency.
IMPORTANT Wipe the rear window inside gently with
a cloth in the direction of the filaments to avoid damag-
ing the heating device.
Engine compartment
At the end of the winter the engine compartment should
be carefully washed, without directing the jet against any
electronic control unit. Have this operation performed
at a specialised workshop.
IMPORTANT The washing should take place with the en-
gine cold and the ignition key in the
STOP
position. After
the washing operation, make sure that the various pro-
tections (e.g. rubber caps and guards) have not been re-
moved or damaged.
Front headlights
IMPORTANT Never use aromatic substances (e.g.: petrol)
or ketenes (e.g.: acetone) for cleaning front headlight plas-
tic lens. To correctly wash the vehicle, proceed as follows:
❒
remove the aerial from the roof to prevent damage to
it if the car is washed in an automatic system;
❒
wash the body using a low pressure jet of water;
❒
wipe a sponge with a slightly soapy solution over the
bodywork, frequently rinsing with the sponge;
❒
rinse well with water and dry with a jet of air or
a chamois leather.
Dry the less visible parts, such as the door frames, bonnet
and the headlight frames with special care, as in these ar-
eas water may stagnate more easily. The car should not
be taken to a closed area immediately, but left outside so
that residual water can evaporate.
Do not wash the car after it has been left in the sun or
with the bonnet hot: this may alter the shine of the paint-
work.
Exterior plastic parts must be cleaned in the same way as
the rest of the car.
Where possible, do not park under trees; the resinous
substance many species release give the paint a dull ap-
pearance and increase the possibility of triggering rust
processes.
IMPORTANT Bird droppings must be washed off imme-
diately and thoroughly as the acid they contain is particu-
larly aggressive.
Detergents cause water pollution. The vehi-
cle should be washed in areas equipped for
collecting and cleaning the liquid used in the
washing process.
