2013 FIAT BRAVO window

WINDSCREEN/REAR WINDOW
WIPERBLADES
Periodically clean the rubber part using special
products; TUTELA PROFESSIONAL SC 35 is
recommended.
Replace the blades if the rubber edge is deformed
or worn. In any case, it is advisable to replace them
approximately once a year. A few simple
precautions can reduce the possibility of damage to
the blades:
❒if the temperature falls below zero, make sure
that ice has not frozen the rubber against the
glass. Use an antifreeze 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 overheating;
❒do not operate the windscreen/rear window
wipers on dry glass.
WARNING
Driving with worn windscreen/rear
window wiper blades is a serious
hazard, because visibility is reduced in bad
weather.Replacing the wiper blades
Proceed as follows:
❒lift up the windscreen wiper arm and position the
blade so that it forms a 90° angle with the arm;
❒press tab A fig. 212 of the coupling spring and
remove the blade to be replaced from the arm;
❒fit the new blade by inserting the tab into the
special slot in the arm. Make sure that the new
blade is secured in position.

Glasses
To clean glasses, use specific window cleaner
products.
Also use clean cloths to avoid scratching the glass
or damaging the transparency.
IMPORTANT Wipe the rear window inside gently
with a cloth in the direction of the filaments to
avoid damaging the heating device.
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 and the relay/fuse control unit on the left side
of the engine compartment (as you look from
behind the wheel). Have this operation performed
at a specialised workshop.
IMPORTANT The washing should take place with
the engine cold and the ignition key in the STOP
position. After the washing operation, make sure
that the various protections (e.g. rubber caps
and guards) have not been removed or damaged.Front headlights
IMPORTANT Never use aromatic substances (e.g.
petrol) or ketenes (e.g. acetone) for cleaning the
plastic lenses of the front headlights.

PLASTIC AND COATED PARTS
Clean interior plastic parts with a damp cloth (if
possible made from microfibre), and a solution
of water and neutral, non-abrasive detergent. To
clean oily or persistent stains, use specific products
free from solvents and designed to maintain the
original appearance and colour of the components.
Remove any dust using a microfibre cloth, if
necessary moistened with water. The use of paper
tissues is not recommended as these may leave
residues.
IMPORTANT Never use alcohol or petroleum to
clean the instrument panel.LEATHER STEERING WHEEL/GEAR
KNOB/HANDBRAKE
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 the product does not contain alcohol or
alcohol-based substances.
If, when cleaning the windscreen with special
products, window cleaner accidentally drips onto
the leather of the steering wheel/gear lever
knob/hand brake, wipe away immediately and then
wash the affected area with mild soap and water.
IMPORTANT Be careful when using a steering
wheel lock device, where applicable, to avoid
damaging the leather upholstery by rubbing.
