SERVICING
PROCEDURES
65) 66) 67)
The following pages contain the rules
on therequiredmaintenance
envisaged by the technical personnel
who designed the vehicle.
In addition to these specific
maintenance instructions specified for
routine scheduled servicing, there
are other components which
may require intervention or
replacements over the vehicle’s life
cycle.ENGINE OIL
68)
Engine oil level checkTo ensure correct engine lubrication,
the oil must always be kept at the
prescribed level (see "Engine
compartment" in this chapter).AIR CLEANER
167)
Replacing the air cleanerSee the "Scheduled servicing plan" for
the correct servicing intervals.
It is advisable to replace it with a
genuine spare part, designed especially
for this vehicle.
AIR CONDITIONING
SYSTEM MAINTENANCE
69) 70)
To ensure the best possible
performance, the air conditioning
system must be checked and undergo
maintenance at a Fiat Dealership at
the beginning of the summer.WINDOWSWhen cleaning the heated windscreen
and rear window be careful, if the
defrosting function is active, regarding
the temperature of the glass; also make
sure that children do not come into
contact with the heated surface. The
glass may be hot.
Never use an abrasive detergent to
clean the surface of the windows.
Do not use scrapers or sharp items that
might scratch the windows.
Spray the detergent on the cloth to be
used for cleaning the rear view mirror.
Do not spray the detergent directly
on the glass.
Cleaning the window with hot water
could cause the removal of any labels.

WINDSCREEN/REAR
WINDOW WIPERReplacing the windscreen wiper
bladesProceed as follows:
❒raise the wiper arm, press button A
fig. 143 of the attachment spring and
remove the blade from the arm;
❒fit the new blade, inserting the tab in
the dedicated housing in the arm and
checking that it is locked;
❒lower the wiper arm on the
windscreen.
IMPORTANT Do not operate the
windscreen wiper with the blades lifted
from the windscreen.
Replacing the rear window wiper
bladeProceed as follows:
❒widen the two tabs as shown by the
arrows and rotate cover A fig. 144
outwards;
❒undo nut B and remove arm C from
the central pin;
❒correctly align the new arm;
❒fully tighten nut B and then refit cover
A.
IMPORTANT Do not operate the rear
window wiper with the blade lifted from
the rear window.Windscreen washerThe window washer nozzles are fixed. If
there is no jet of fluid, firstly check that
there is fluid in the reservoir (see
paragraph “Engine compartment” in
this chapter). Only use the prescribed
fluid; do not use only water.Then check that the nozzle holes are
not clogged; use a needle to unblock
them if necessary.
IMPORTANT In versions with sun roof,
make sure that the roof is closed before
operating the windscreen washer
nozzles.
Rear window washerThe rear window washer nozzle is fixed.
The jet nozzle is located at the side of
the third brake light.EXHAUST SYSTEM
168) 169)71)
Adequate maintenance of the engine
exhaust system represents the best
protection against leaks of carbon
monoxide into the passenger
compartment.AUTOMATIC
TRANSMISSION
72)
Use only a gearbox fluid with the same
characteristics as those indicated in
the "Fluids and lubricants" table (see
"Technical specifications" chapter).

WARNING
167)The air intake system (air cleaner,
rubber hoses, etc.) can be a protection in
the case of blowbacks from the engine.
DO NOT REMOVE this system unless you
need to carry out repair or servicing
operations. Before starting the engine
make sure the system is not dismantled:
failure to comply with this precaution
may cause serious injuries.
168)Exhaust emissions are very
dangerous and may be fatal. They contain
carbon monoxide, a colourless and
odourless gas which, if inhaled, may cause
fainting and poisoning.
169)The exhaust system can reach high
temperatures and cause a fire if the vehicle
is parked on flammable material. Dry grass
or leaves can also catch fire if they come
into contact with the exhaust system.
Do not park or use the vehicle in a place in
which the exhaust system might come
into contact with flammable material.
WARNING
65)It is recommended to have the vehicle
serviced by a Fiat Dealership. When
carrying out normal periodic operations
and small servicing interventions personally
on the vehicle, it is recommended to use
suitable equipment, genuine spare parts
and the necessary fluids. Do not carry out
any interventions if you don't have the
necessary experience.66)Incorrect maintenance of the vehicle or
failure to carry out operations or repairs
(when necessary) may lead to more
expensive repairs, damage to other
components or have a negative impact on
the vehicle performance. Have any
operating faults immediately checked by a
Fiat Dealership.
67)The vehicle is equipped with fluids
optimised for protecting its performance
and duration, and to extend servicing
intervals. Do not use chemicals for washing
these components since they may
damage the engine, the gearbox or the
climate control system. This damage is not
covered by the vehicle’s warranty. If, due
to malfunction of a component, washing is
needed, only use the fluid specific for
that procedure.
68)An excessive or insufficient amount of
oil in the block is extremely harmful for
the engine. Make sure it is always at an
adequate level.
69)Always require the use of only
compressor coolants and lubricants
approved and suitable for the specific air
conditioning system fitted on the vehicle.
Some non-approved coolants are
flammable and may explode, with the risk
of injuries. The use of non-approved
coolants or lubricants may adversely affect
system efficiency, leading to expensive
repairs.
70)The air conditioning system contains
high-pressure coolant: to prevent damage
to people or the system, any topping up
with fuel or repairs that involves
disconnection of the pipes must be carried
out by a Fiat Dealership.71)Vehicles equipped with a catalytic
converter must be exclusively supplied with
unleaded petrol. Leaded petrol would
permanently damage the catalytic
converter and eliminate its ability to reduce
polluting emissions, seriously
compromising the engine performance,
which would be irreparably damaged. If the
engine does not work correctly, especially
if it starts irregularly or if there is a reduction
of its performance, immediately go to a
Fiat Dealership. Prolonged and faulty
operation of the engine may cause
overheating of the catalytic converter and,
as a consequence, possible damage to
it and the vehicle.
72)Using a gearbox fluid different from the
prescribed one may compromise
gearshifting quality and/or cause
anomalous vibration of the gearbox.

❒if high pressure jets or cleaners are
used to wash the vehicle, keep a
distance of at least 40 cm from the
bodywork to avoid damage or
alteration. Build up of water could
cause damage to the vehicle in the long
term;
❒wash the bodywork using a low
pressure jet of water if possible;
❒wipe a sponge with a slightly soapy
solution over the bodywork, frequently
rinsing the sponge;
❒rinse well with water and dry with a
jet of air or a chamois leather.
Dry the less visible parts (e.g. door
frames, bonnet, headlight frames, etc.)
with special care, as water may
stagnate more easily in these areas. 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.
Exterior plastic parts must be cleaned
in the same way as the rest of the
vehicle.IMPORTANTAvoid parking under trees; the resin
dropped by trees makes the paintwork
go opaque and increases the possibility
of corrosion.Bird droppings must be washed off
immediately and thoroughly as the acid
they contain is particularly aggressive.
WindowsUse specific detergents and clean
cloths to prevent scratching or altering
the transparency.
IMPORTANT Wipe the rear window
inside gently with a cloth following the
direction of the filaments to avoid
damaging the heating device.HeadlightsUse a soft cloth soaked in water and
detergent for washing cars.
IMPORTANT Never use aromatic
substances (e.g. petrol) or ketones (e.g.
acetone) for cleaning the plastic lenses
of the headlights.
IMPORTANT When cleaning with a
pressure washer, keep the water jet at
least 20 cm away from the headlights.
Engine compartmentAt the end of every winter, wash the
engine compartment thoroughly, taking
care not to aim the jet of water directly
at the electronic control units or at
the windscreen/rear window wiper
motors. Have this operation performed
at a specialised workshop.
IMPORTANT The washing should take
place with the engine cold and the
ignition device 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.
