SUN ROOF
Some long cab versions may be
equipped with tilting sun roof which
can also be completely removed
according to ventilation
requirements inside the cab.
Tilting function
Turn the ring nut in fig. 78 in the
direction indicated, so that the sun
roof can be opened to the desired
position.
When the device is opened as far as
possible, the ring nut will be vertical.Removing glass from sun roof
The following steps describe the sun
roof glass removal procedure. This
operation must be carried out with
extreme caution, so that the glass
does not fall and result in damage:
– move the sun roof to the
maximum opening position;
– release the red stop fig. 79,
applying light pressure as indicated
(this operation must be carried out
using the end of the screwdriver in
the tool bag, located under the
passenger seat);– from the luggage compartment,
remove the glass from the sun roof
and detach it from its front housing,
pulling it backwards;
– insert the sun roof glass, using the
tilting ring nut located near the
luggage compartment in the space
between the rear window and the
protective mesh; then slide it
between the two guides provided, as
illustrated in fig. 80;
– lock the sun roof glass to the
protective mesh with the rubber
strap A provided;

To close the bonnet:
1) Hold the bonnet up with one
hand and with the other remove
stay A-fig. 90 from housing B and
fit it back into its locking device.
2) Lower the bonnet to
approximately 20 centimetres
from the engine compartment.
3) Let it drop: the bonnet closes
automatically.
Always check that the
bonnet is closed
correctly, to prevent it from
opening while the vehicle is in
motion.

The rear window (for versions/
markets, where provided) slides
when stop A-fig. 91 is released.

protect the rear window and can
hold a ladder fig. 92. Use the ladder
holder to support the tallest objects
transported and to secure them
correctly. In versions with extended,
crew or Adventure cab, lift the load
limiter fig. 93-94.

LONG VEHICLE
INACTIVITY
If the vehicle needs to be off the
road for longer than a month, the
following precautions should be
taken:
– Park the vehicle indoors in a dry
and, if possible, well-ventilated
place.
– Engage a gear.
– Check that the handbrake is not
engaged.
– Disconnect the negative battery
terminal and check the state of
charge (see “Battery” in the
“Vehicle maintenance” section).
– Clean and protect the painted
parts using protective waxes.– Clean and protect the shiny metal
parts using specific commercially
available compounds.
– Sprinkle talcum powder on the
rubber windscreen wiper blades
and lift them off the glass.
– Slightly open the windows.
– Cover the vehicle with a piece of
fabric or perforated plastic sheet.
Do not use compact plastic
tarpaulins, which prevent humidity
from evaporating from the surface
of the vehicle.– Inflate tyres to +0.5 bar above the
standard prescribed pressure and
check it at intervals.
– Do not drain the engine cooling
system.

PERIODIC CHECKS
Every 1,000 km or before long
journeys, check and, if necessary, top
up the following:
– engine coolant level;
– brake fluid level;
– windscreen washer fluid level;
– tyre pressure and conditions;
– operation of lighting system
(headlights, direction indicators,
hazard warning lights, etc.);
– operation of windscreen
washer/wiper system and
position/wear of windscreen/rear
window wiper blades;
Every 3,000 km check and top up if
required: engine oil level.
You are advised to use PETRONAS
LUBRICANTS products, which have
been designed and produced
specifically for Fiat vehicles (see table
“Capacities” in the “Technical
specifications” section).
DEMANDING
VEHICLE USE
If the vehicle is mostly used in one of
the following conditions:
– towing a trailer or caravan;
– dusty roads;
– short, repeated journeys (less
than 7-8 km) at sub-zero
temperatures;
– engine often idling or driving long
distances at low speeds or long
periods of inactivity;
the following checks must be carried
out more frequently than indicated
in 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:
engine, gearbox, transmission,
pipes and hoses
(exhaust/fuel/brakes), rubber parts
(boots/sleeves/bushes, etc.);
– check battery charge and fluid
level (electrolyte);
– visually inspect the condition of
the accessory drive belts;
– check and, if necessary, change
engine oil and replace oil filter;
– check pollen filter and replace, if
required;
– check air cleaner and replace, if
required.

Exterior plastic parts should be
cleaned in the same way as the rest
of the vehicle. Where possible, do
not park the vehicle under trees; the
resinous substances released by
many species give the paint a dull
appearance and increase the
possibility of corrosion.
IMPORTANT Bird droppings must
be washed off immediately and
thoroughly, as the acid they contain
is particularly aggressive.Windows
To clean windows, use specific
cleaning products.
Use clean cloths to avoid scratching
the glass or damaging the
transparency.
Engine compartment
At the end of each winter,
thoroughly wash the engine
compartment, taking care to avoid
spraying the water jet directly onto
the electronic control units or the
fuse box on the left side of the
engine compartment (driving
direction).
Have this operation performed at a
specialised workshop.
IMPORTANT Washing should take
place with the engine cold and the
ignition key removed.
After the washing operation, make
sure that the various protections
(e.g. rubber caps and guards) have
not been removed or damaged.
Detergents cause water
pollution. The vehicle
should be washed in
areas equipped for collecting
and purifying the liquid used in
the washing process.
Some car washes with
old-style blades and/or
in a poor state of repair
can damage the paintwork,
facilitating the formation of
lines that give the paint a
dull/misty appearance,
especially on dark colours.
If this happens, lightly polish the
paintwork with appropriate
products.
Dry the less visible parts, such as the
door frames, bonnet and the
headlight frames with special care, as
in these areas water may stagnate
more easily.
It is a good idea to leave the vehicle
outdoors for a while after washing it
to give the water time to evaporate.
Do not wash the vehicle after it has
been left in the sun or with the
bonnet hot: this may alter the shine
of the paintwork.

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.
