SPRAY NOZZLES
If the jet is not coming out, firstly
check that there is fluid in the
windscreen/rear window reservoir
(for versions/markets where
provided) (see “Checking levels” in
this section).
Then check that the nozzle holes are
not clogged; use a needle to
unblock them if necessary.
Windscreen (washer)
The window washer nozzles are
fixed. The nozzle holders are located
under the bonnet (see fig. 218).Rear window (washer)
The rear window washer jets are
fixed. The nozzle holder is located
above the rear window.
WARNING
138) Driving with worn windscreen
wiper blades is a serious hazard,
because visibility is reduced in
bad weather conditions.
WHEELS AND TYRES
Check the pressure of each tyre,
including the space-saver wheel,
approximately every two weeks and
before long journeys: the pressure
should be checked with the tyre
rested and cold.
It is normal for the pressure to
increase when the vehicle is used;
for the correct tyre inflation pressure,
see “Wheels” in the “Technical
specifications” section.
Incorrect pressure causes abnormal
tyre wear fig. 219:
Anormal pressure: tread evenly worn;
Blow pressure: tread particularly worn
at the edges;
Chigh pressure: tread particularly worn
in the centre.

BODYWORK
PROTECTION AGAINST
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
cars is also not to be
underestimated.
On your vehicle, Fiat has
implemented the best
manufacturing technologies to
effectively protect the bodywork
against corrosion.
These include:
❒painting products and systems which
give the vehicle particular resistance
to corrosion and abrasion;
❒use of galvanised (or pretreated)
sheet metal, with high resistance
to corrosion;❒spraying the underbody, engine
compartment, wheelhouse internal
parts and other parts with highly
protective wax products;
❒spraying of plastic parts, with a
protective function in the more
exposed points: underdoor, inner
wing, edges, etc.;
❒use of "open" boxed sections to
prevent condensation and pockets of
moisture from triggering rust inside.
VEHICLE EXTERIOR
AND UNDERBODY
WARRANTY
Your vehicle is covered by warranty
against perforation due to corrosion
of any original element of the
structure or body.
For the general terms of this
warranty, refer to the Warranty
Booklet.
ADVICE FOR
PRESERVING THE
BODYWORKPaintwork
Paintwork does not only serve an
aesthetic purpose, but also protects
the underlying sheet metal.
Touch up abrasions and scratches
immediately to prevent rust
formation. Use only original paint
products for touch-ups (see
“Bodywork paint identification plate”
in the “Technical specifications”
section).
Normal maintenance of paintwork
consists in washing the vehicle: the
frequency depends on the
conditions and environment where
the vehicle is used.
For example, it is advisable to wash
the vehicle more often in areas
with high levels of environmental
pollution or on roads spread with
salt.To correctly wash the vehicle,
proceed as follows:
❒wash the bodywork using a low
pressure jet of water;
❒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.
