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.

CHECKING LEVELS
Never smoke while
working in the engine
compartment: inflammable
gases and vapours may be
present, constituting a fire risk.
WARNING
When topping up, take
care not to mix up the
various types of fluids:
they are not compatible with
each other and could seriously
damage the vehicle.

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.
fig. 155
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.

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.
