2011 FIAT STRADA Windscreen

WINDSCREEN WASHER
FLUID fig. 155
To add fluid, remove the cap and
pour in a mixture of water and
TUTELA PROFESSIONAL SC35
fluid in the following proportions:
– 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 PROFESSIONAL
SC35 fluid.

F0X0139m
Do not remove the cap
of the tank when the
engine is hot as there is a risk
of scalding. The cooling system
is pressurised. If the cap needs
replacing, do so with another
original or the effectiveness of
the system may be
compromised.
WARNING
Some commercial
windscreen washer
additives are flammable. The
engine compartment contains
hot parts which could cause a
fire if they come into contact
with these additives.
WARNING
Do not travel if the
windscreen washer
reservoir is empty: using the
windscreen washer is essential
for improving visibility.

WINDSCREEN WIPER
BLADES
Periodically clean the rubber part
using special products; TUTELA
PROFESSIONAL SC35 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.
Driving with worn wiper
blades is a serious
hazard, because visibility is
reduced in bad weather.
WARNING
A few simple precautions can reduce
the possibility of damage to the
blades:
– make sure that the rubber part is
not stuck to the windscreen at
sub-zero temperatures. Use a de-
icing product to release it if
required;
– remove any snow from the glass:
in addition to protecting the
blades, this prevents effort on the
motor and over-heating;
– do not operate the windscreen
wipers on dry glass.Replacing blades
1) raise the windscreen wiper arm
A-fig. 161 and position the blade
so that it forms an angle of 90°
with the arm;
2) push the wiper downwards
releasing it from arm A;
3) fit the new blade, inserting the tab
in the special housing in the arm.
Make sure that it is properly
locked into place.

MANUAL
CLIMATE CONTROL
(for versions/markets,
where provided)
In winter, the climate control system
must be turned on at least once a
month for about 10 minutes.
Before summer, have the system
checked at a Fiat Dealership.
BODYWORK
PROTECTION FROM
ATMOSPHERIC AGENTS
The main causes of corrosion are
the following:
– atmospheric pollution;
– salty air and humidity (coastal
areas, or hot humid climates);
– seasonal environmental conditions.
The abrasive action of wind-borne
atmospheric dust and sand, as well
as mud and gravel raised by other
vehicles is also not to be
underestimated.
Fiat has adopted the best technology
on your vehicle to effectively protect
the bodywork against corrosion.
These are the most important:
– painting products and systems
which give the vehicle particular
resistance to corrosion and
abrasion;
– use of galvanised (or
pretreated) steel sheets, with high
resistance to corrosion;
The system uses R134a
coolant which does not
pollute the environment
in the event of accidental
leakage. Under no
circumstances should you use
R12 fluid which, in addition to
being incompatible with the
system’s components, contains
chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs).
NOZZLES
If the jet of fluid is inadequate, firstly
check that there is fluid in the
reservoir: see “Checking levels” in
this section.
Then check that the nozzle holes are
not clogged, if necessary using a
needle.
On some versions, the windscreen
washer jets are adjusted by changing
the angle of the nozzles: rotate the
nozzle holder using a screwdriver in
housing A-fig. 162, so that the jets
are directed towards the highest
point that the blades reach when in
motion.

GENUINE LEATHER
STEERING WHEEL/
HANDBRAKE/GEAR
LEVER KNOB
(for versions/markets,
where provided)
These components must be cleaned
with mild soap and water only.
Never use alcohol or alcohol-based
products.
Read the product label carefully
before using specific products for
cleaning the interiors: make sure
that the product does not contain
spirits or alcohol-based substances.If, when cleaning the windscreen
with specific products, window
cleaner accidentally drips onto the
leather of the steering wheel/gear
lever knob/handbrake, wipe away
immediately and then wash the
affected area with mild soap and
water.
IMPORTANT Be careful when using
a steering wheel locking device, to
avoid damaging the leather
upholstery through abrasion. PLASTIC PARTS
It is advisable to clean interior parts
with a moist cloth and a solution of
water and mild neutral soap.
Use specific products for cleaning
plastic, without solvents and
specifically designed to prevent
damage to the appearance and
colour of the treated parts, to
remove grease and tough stains.
IMPORTANT Never use alcohol or
petroleum to clean the instrument
panel.
