perature. Start the engine as soon as the
warning light goes out.
IMPORTANT At high ambient tempera-
tures the warning light stays on for an ex-
tremely short time.
Glow plug heating failure
The warning light flashes in the event of
a failure in the glow plug heating system.

CODE (amber)
Turning the key to MAR, the
warning light flashes once and then goes
off.
If the warning light stays on with the igni-
tion key positioned on MAR, a failure may
have occurred (see “Fiat Code system” in
section “Dashboard and controls”).
IMPORTANT Simultaneous turning on of
the warning lights
Uand Yindicates a
failure in the Fiat CODE system.
If the warning light
Yflashes with the en-
gine running, the car is not protected by
the engine inhibitor device (see “Fiat Code
system” in section “Dashboard and con-
trols”).

The presence of water in the
supply circuit may cause se-
vere damage to the injection
system and irregular engine
operation. If the warning light c goes
on (with the message on the display on
some versions), go to a Fiat Dealership
as soon as possible to remove clogging
from the system. Whenever the warn-
ing light comes on immediately after
refuelling, water may have been intro-
duced in the tank. In this case, stop the
engine immediately and contact a Fiat
Dealership.

Holes and damages on the
tyre side walls cannot be re-
paired. Do not use the quick tyre re-
pair kit if damaging is due to running
with flat tyre.
WARNING
Repairs are not possible in
case of damages on the
wheel rim (bad groove distortion
causing air loss). Do not remove for-
eign bodies (screws or nails) from the
tyre.
WARNING
The compressor shall not be
operated for more than 20
minutes. Risk of overheating!. Tyres
repaired with the quick tyre repair kit
shall be used temporarily only.
WARNING
INFLATING PROCEDURE
❒Pull up the handbrake. Loosen tyre
inflation valve cap, take out the filler
hose A-fig. 5and screw the ring nut
Bon the tyre valve;
fig. 5F0H0747mThe cylinder contains ethyl-
ene glycol. The cylinder con-
tains latex: it can cause allergic re-
actions. It is harmful if ingested or in-
haled and irritant for the eyes and in
case of contact. In case of contact
rinse immediately with water and
take off contaminated clothes. If
swallowed, do not induce vomit, rinse
out the mouth, drink a lot of water
and call the doctor immediately.
Keep away from children. This prod-
uct must not be used by asthmatics.
Do not inhale vapours. Call the doc-
tor immediately in case of allergic re-
actions. Keep the cylinder in the
space provided for the purpose and
far from heat. The sealing fluid has
limited life.
WARNING
Replace the cylinder if sealer
has run out. Do not throw
away the cylinder and the
sealing fluid. Have the sealing
fluid and the cylinder disposed of in
compliance with national and local
regulations.
Put on the protection gloves
provided together with quick
tyre repair kit.

RUBBER HOSES
As far as the brake system and fuel rubber
hoses are concerned, carefully follow the
“Service schedule” in this section.
Indeed ozone, high temperatures and pro-
longed lack of fluid in the system may
cause hardening and cracking of the hoses,
with possible leaks. Careful control is
therefore necessary.
WINDSCREEN/
REAR WINDOW
WIPERS
BLADES
Periodically clean the rubber part using
special products; TUTELA PROFES-
SIONAL SC 35 is recommended.
If the rubber blades are bent or worn they
should be replaced. In any case they
should be changed once a year.
A few simple notions can reduce the pos-
sibility of damage to the blades:
❒if the temperature fall below zero,
make sure that ice has not frozen the
rubber against glass. If necessary, thaw
using an antifreeze product;
❒remove any snow from the glass: in ad-
dition to protecting the blades, this
prevents effort on the motor and
overheating;
❒do not operate the windscreen and
rear window wipers on dry glass.
Driving with worn wiper
blades is a serious hazard,
because visibility is reduced in bad
weather.
WARNING
Changing the windscreen wiper
blades fig. 14
Proceed as follows:
❒raise the windscreen wiper arm Aand
position the blade so that it forms an
angle of 90° with the arm;
❒press tab Bof the coupling spring and
remove the blade to be replaced from
the arm A;
❒fit the new blade by inserting the tab
into the special slot in the arm. Make
sure it is properly locked into place.

IMPORTANT Bird droppings must be
washed off immediately and thoroughly as
the acid they contain is particularly ag-
gressive.
Windows
Use specific window cleaner products.
Use also clean cloths to avoid scratching
the glass or damaging the transparency.
IMPORTANT The inside of the
rearscreen should be wiped gently with a
cloth in the direction of the filaments to
avoid damaging the heating device.Front headlights
IMPORTANT When cleaning plastic lens-
es of front headlights, never use aromat-
ic substances (e.g. petrol) or ketones (e.g.:
acetone).
Engine compartment
At the end of the winter the engine com-
partment should be carefully washed,
without directing the jet against electron-
ic control units. Contact a specialised
workshop to have this done.
IMPORTANT Washing should be carried
out with the engine cold and the ignition
key at STOP. After washing make sure
that the various protections (e.g.: rubber
caps and various covers) have not been
damaged or removed.Detergents cause water pollu-
tion. Therefore the car should
be washed in areas equipped
for collecting and purifying
the liquid used in the washing process.
Never use flammable prod-
ucts like oil ether or rectified
petrol for cleaning car interiors. Elec-
trostatic discharges generated by rub-
bing during cleaning operations could
cause fire.
