WASHER FLUID FOR WINDSCREEN/
REAR WINDOW/HEADLIGHTS
If the level is too low, raise reservoir cap E (see
previous pages) and add the fluid described in the
chapter "Technical Specifications".
WARNING
Do not travel with the windscreen
washer reservoir empty: the windscreen
washer is essential for improving visibility. Some
commercial windscreen washer additives are
flammable.The engine compartment contains
hot components which may set it on fire.ENGINE COOLANT
The coolant level must be checked when the engine
is cold and must range between the MIN and MAX
marks on the reservoir.
If the level is too low, undo reservoir cap F (see
previous pages) and add the fluid described in the
chapter "Technical Specifications".
PARAFLU
UP
antifreeze is used in the
engine cooling system. Use the same fluid
as in the cooling system when topping
up. PARAFLU
UP
cannot be mixed with any other
type of fluid. If this happens, do not start the
engine; contact a Fiat Dealership.
WARNING
The cooling system is pressurised. If
necessary, replace the cap with another
of equivalent quality and the same
specifications as the original, otherwise the
efficiency of the system may be adversely
affected. Do not remove the reservoir cap when
the engine is hot : you risk scalding yourself.

WARNING
Do not cross switch the tyres, moving
them from the right of the car to the
left and vice versa.
WARNING
Never submit alloy rims to repainting
treatments requiring the use of
temperatures exceeding 150°C.The mechanical
properties of the wheels could be impaired.
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.

External plastic parts must be cleaned in the same
way as the rest of the car.
Where possible, do not park under trees; the
resinous substance that many species release give the
paint a dull appearance and increase the possibility
of triggering rusting processes.
IMPORTANT Bird droppings must be washed off
immediately and thoroughly as the acid they contain
is particularly aggressive.
Detergents pollute the environment .
Therefore the engine compartment should
be washed in areas equipped for
collecting and purifying the liquid used in the
washing process.
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
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.
