HEAVY-DUTYShould prevailing use of the vehicle be un-
der one of the following specially heavy
conditions:❒
trailer or caravan towing;
❒
dusty roads;
❒
short distances (less than 7-8 km) re-
peated and with external tempera-
tures below zero;
❒
frequently idling engines or long dis-
tance low speed driving (e.g. door-to-
door deliveries) or in case of a long
term inactivity;
❒
driving in the city;
carry out the following checks more fre-
quently than required in the Service
Schedule:
❒
check front disk brake pad conditions
and wear;
❒
check cleanness of locks, bonnet and
boot and lever cleanness and lubrica-
tion;
❒
sight 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);
❒
visual check on various drive belt con-
ditions;
❒
check and replace pollen filter, if
required;
❒
check and replace air cleaner, if
required.
ROUTINE
MAINTENANCEEvery 1,000 km or before long journeys,
check and top up if required:❒
engine coolant fluid level;
❒
brake fluid level;
❒
windscreen washer fluid level;
❒
tyre pressure and conditions;
❒
light system operation (headlights, di-
rection indicators, hazard lights, etc.);
❒
windscreen wiper/washer operation
and windscreen/rear window blade
position/wear;
Every 3,000 km check and top up if re-
quired: engine oil level.
You are recommended to use PETRO-
NAS LUBRICANTS, products, designed
and produced specifically for Fiat vehicles
(see table “Capacities” in section “Tech-
nical specifications”).

WIPERSBLADES
Periodically clean the rubber part using
special products; TUTELA PROFES-
SIONAL SC 35is recommended.
Change the blades if the rubber edge is
warped or worn out. You should in any case
change them approximately once a year.
A few simple notions can reduce the pos-
sibility of damage to the blades:❒
if the temperature fall below zero,
make sure that ice has not frozen the
rubber against glass. If necessary, thaw
using an antifreeze product;
❒
remove any snow from the glass: in ad-
dition to protecting the blades, this pre-
vents effort on the motor and 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 HOSESAs far as the brake system and fuel rubber
hoses are concerned, carefully follow the
“Service schedule” in this section.
Indeed ozone, high temperatures and pro-
longed lack of fluid in the system may
cause hardening and cracking of the hoses,
with possible leaks. Careful control is
therefore necessary.
If the pressure is too low the
tyre overheats and this can
cause it serious damage.
WARNING
Do not cross switch the
tyres, moving them from the
right of the vehicle to the left and vice
versa.
WARNING
Never submit alloy rims to
repainting treatments re-
quiring to use temperatures exceed-
ing 150°C since the mechanical prop-
erties of the wheels could be im-
paired.

❒
Spraying of plastic parts, with a protec-
tive function in the more exposed
points: underdoor, inner fender parts,
edges, etc;
❒
Use of “open” boxed sections to pre-
vent condensation and pockets of mois-
ture from triggering rust inside.
BODY AND UNDERBODY
WARRANTY
Your vehicle is covered by warranty
against perforation due to rust of any orig-
inal element of the structure or body.
For the general terms of this warranty, re-
fer to Fiat Warranty Booklet.
ADVICE FOR PRESERVING THE
BODYWORK
Paintwork
The paintwork is not only to make your
vehicle look attractive but also to protect
the steel.
In the case of deep scrapes or scores, you
are advised to have the necessary touching
up carried out immediately to avoid the for-
mation of rust. For touching up use only
original products (see “Bodywork paint
identification plate” in section “Technical
specifications”).
BODYWORKPROTECTION FROM
ATMOSPHERIC AGENTS
The main causes of corrosion are the fol-
lowing:❒
atmospheric pollution;
❒
salty air and humidity (coastal areas, or
hot humid climates);
❒
seasonal environment conditions.
Not to be underestimated is also the abra-
sive action of wind-borne atmospheric
dust and sand and mud and gravel raised
by other vehicles.
On your vehicle, Fiat implemented the
best manufacturing technologies to effec-
tively protect the bodywork against cor-
rosion.
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 corro-
sion;
❒
Spraying the underbody, engine com-
partment, wheelhouse internal parts
and other parts with highly protective
wax products; SPRAY NOZZLES

If the jet of fluid is inadequate, firstly check
that there is fluid in the reservoir: see
“Checking fluid levels” in this section).
Then check that the nozzle holes are not
clogged, if necessary use a needle.
The windscreen jets are directed by ad-
justing the angle of the nozzles.
Fluid jets shall be directed at about
1/3
height from the window upper edge.
Rear window
(rear window washer)
The rear window wiper nozzle is located
in the rear window wiper blade.fig. 18
