DEMANDING USE
OF THE CAR
Should the car be used predominantly in
one of the following particularly demand-
ing conditions:
❒trailer or caravan towing;
❒dusty roads;
❒short (less than 7-8 km) and repeated
journeys in sub-zero temperatures;
❒ frequently idling engine or long-dis-
tance, low-speed driving (e.g. door-to-
door deliveries) or lengthy inactivity;
you should perform the following inspec-
tions more frequently than shown on the
Scheduled Servicing Plan:
❒ check front disc brake pad conditions
and wear;
❒check cleanliness of bonnet and boot
locks, and cleanliness and lubrication of
linkages;
❒ visually inspect the conditions of: en-
gine, gearbox, transmission, pipes and
tubes (exhaust – fuel – brakes), rubber
parts (boots, sleeves, bushes, etc.);
❒check battery charge and liquid level
(electrolyte);
❒visually inspect the condition of the ac-
cessory drive belts;
❒check pollen filter and replace, if re-
quired;
❒check air filter and replace, if required.
REGULAR CHECKS
Every 1,000 km or before long journeys,
check and, if necessary, top up:
❒engine coolant fluid level;
❒brake fluid level;
❒windscreen washer level;
❒tyre pressure and conditions.
❒operation of lights (headlights, direction
indicators, hazard lights, etc.);
❒operation of the windscreen wiper/
washer system, position and wear of
the windscreen and rear window wiper
blades;
Every 3,000 km, check and top up, if re-
quired, the engine oil level.
You are recommended to use PETRONAS
LUBRICANTS products, which have been
designed and produced specifically for
Fiat cars (see table “Capacities” in the
“Technical specifications” section).

WINDSCREEN/REAR
WINDOW WIPERS
BLADES
Regularly clean the rubber part using ap-
propriate products; TUTELA PRO-
FESSIONAL SC35 is recommended.
Replace the blades if the rubber edge is
misshapen or worn. In any event, it is ad-
visable to replace them approximately
once a year.
A few simple precautions can reduce the
possibility of damage to the blades:
❒make sure that the rubber part is not
frozen to the windscreen in sub-zero
temperatures. Use an antifreeze prod-
uct to release it if required;
❒remove any snow from the glass: in ad-
dition to protecting the blades, this pre-
vents the electric motor from over-
heating;
❒do not operate the windscreen wipers
on dry glass.
Driving with worn wiper
blades is a serious hazard,
because visibility is reduced in bad
weather.
WARNING
RUBBER TUBES
As far as the brake system and fuel rubber
hoses are concerned, stick closely to the
“Scheduled Servicing Plan” in this section.
Ozone, high temperatures and a pro-
longed lack of fluid in the system may
cause hardening and cracking of the tubes,
which could result in leaks. Careful in-
spections are therefore necessary.If the pressure is too low, the
tyre will overheat and could
be seriously damaged.
WARNING
Avoid switching the tyres
from the right side of the ve-
hicle to the left side and vice versa.
WARNING
Do not re-spray alloy wheel
rims at temperatures higher
than 150 °C. The mechanical char-
acteristics of the wheels may be
compromised.
