IMPORTANT Brake fluid absorbs mois-
ture. For this reason, if the car is mainly
used in areas with a high degree of at-
mospheric humidity, the fluid should be
replaced at more frequent intervals than
specified in the “Scheduled Servicing Plan”.
fig. 7
Do not travel if the wind-
screen washer reservoir is
empty: using the windscreen washer
is essential for improving visibility.
WARNING
Some commercial additives
for windscreen washing are
flammable. The engine compartment
contains hot parts which could cause
a fire if they come into contact with
these additives.
WARNING
Prevent brake fluid, which is
highly corrosive, from coming
into contact with painted
parts. Wash with water im-
mediately if this should happen.
WINDSCREEN/REAR WINDOW
WASHER FLUID fig. 6
To top up, remove the cap A.
Pour in a mixture of water and TUTELA
PROFESSIONAL SC35, in the follow-
ing concentrations:
30% TUTELA PROFESSIONAL
SC35and 70% water in summer.
50% TUTELA PROFESSIONAL
SC35and 50% water in winter.
If temperatures are below −20°C, use
undiluted TUTELA PROFESSIONAL
SC35fluid.
Check the level through the reservoir.
fig. 6F0M0154m
BRAKE FLUID fig. 7
Undo the cap Aand check that the liquid
contained in the reservoir is at the maxi-
mum level.
The fluid level in the reservoir must not
exceed the MAXmark.
If you need to top up, you should use the
brake fluid shown in the “Fluids and lubri-
cants” table (see “Technical Specifications”).
NB Carefully clean the reservoir cap Aand
the surrounding surfaces.
When opening the cap, make sure that no
dirt gets into the reservoir.
Always use a funnel with a built-in filter with
a mesh of 0.12 mm or less for topping up.
F0M0155m
Brake fluid is poisonous and
highly corrosive. In the event
of accidental contact, wash the parts
immediately with water and mild
soap, then rinse with plenty of
water. Call a doctor immediately if
swallowed.

Replacing the windscreen
wiper blades fig. 9
How to remove the blade:
❒raise the windscreen wiper arm A;
❒rotate blade B90° around pin C, lo-
cated at the end of the wiper arm;
❒remove the blade from the pin C.
How to insert the blade:
❒fit pin Cinto the hole located in the
middle of the blade B;
❒lower the arm so the blade rests back
on the windscreen.

Changing the rear
window wiper blade fig. 10
Proceed as follows:
❒raise the cover Aand remove the arm
from the car by slackening the nut B
that fastens it to the pivot pin;
❒fit the new arm, positioning it correct-
ly, and fully tighten the nut;
❒lower the cover.

SPRAY NOZZLES
Windscreen washer fig. 11
If the jet is not coming out, firstly check
that there is fluid in the reservoir (see
“Checking levels” in this section).
Then check that the nozzle holes are not
clogged; use a needle to unblock them if
necessary.

❒using “open” boxed sections to prevent

BODY AND UNDERBODY
WARRANTY
Your car is covered by warranty against
perforation due to corrosion of any origi-
nal element of the structure or bodywork.
For the general terms of this warranty, re-
fer to your Warranty Booklet.
ADVICE FOR PRESERVING
THE BODYWORK
Paint
Paintwork does not only serve an aes-
thetic purpose, but also protects the un-
derlying sheet metal.
Touch up abrasions and scratches immedi-
ately to prevent the formation of rust. Use
only original paint products for touch-ups
(see “Bodywork paint identification” in the
“Technical specifications” section).
BODYWORK
PROTECTION FROM
ATMOSPHERIC AGENTS
The main causes of corrosion are the fol-
lowing:
❒atmospheric pollution;
❒salty air and humidity (coastal areas or
hot and humid climates);
❒seasonal environmental conditions.
The abrasive action of wind-borne at-
mospheric dust and sand, as well as mud
and gravel raised by other cars, should not
be underestimated either.
Fiat used the best manufacturing tech-
nologies on your car to effectively protect
the bodywork against corrosion.
These are the most important:
❒painting products and systems which
give the car particular resistance to cor-
rosion and abrasion;
❒use of galvanised (or pre-treated) steel
sheets with high resistance to corro-
sion;
❒spraying the underbody, engine com-
partment, wheelhouse internal parts
and other elements with highly protec-
tive wax-based products; Rear window washer fig. 12
The rear window washer jets are fixed.
The nozzle holder is located above the
rear window.
