2017 FIAT 124 SPIDER ABARTH engine oil

Do not spray water in the engine
compartment. Otherwise, it could
result in engine-starting problems or
damage to electrical parts.
When washing and waxing the
vehicle, be careful not to apply
excessive force to any single area of
the vehicle hood. Otherwise, you could
dent the vehicle.
Do not use automatic car washing
machines and car washing devices
using high water pressure.
Make sure that the fuel door is
closed and lock the doors. Otherwise,
the fuel flap may be forcefully opened
by water pressure causing damage to
the vehicle or fuel door.
To minimize scratches on the vehicle's
paint finish:
Rinse off any dirt or other foreign
matter using lukewarm or cold water
before washing.
Use plenty of lukewarm or cold water
and a soft cloth when washing the
vehicle. Do not use a nylon cloth.
Rub gently when washing or drying
the vehicle.
Take your vehicle only to a car wash
that keeps its brushes well maintained.
Do not use abrasive cleansers or
wax that contain abrasives.
Caution!
Do not use steel wool, abrasive cleaners,
or strong detergents containing highly
alkaline or caustic agents on chrome
plated or anodized aluminium parts. This
may damage the protective coating; also,
cleaners and detergents may discolor or
deteriorate the paint.
Pay special attention to removing salt,
dirt, mud, and other foreign material
from the underside of the fenders, and
make sure the drain holes in the lower
edges of the doors and rocker panels
are clean.
Insects, tar, tree sap, bird droppings,
industrial fallout, and similar deposits
can damage the finish if not removed
immediately. When prompt washing
with plain water is ineffective, use a mild
soap made for use on vehicles.
Thoroughly rinse off all soap with
lukewarm or cold water. Do not allow
soap to dry on the finish.
After washing the vehicle, dry it with a
clean chamois to prevent water spots
from forming. Waxing
Your vehicle needs to be waxed when
water no longer beads on the finish.
Always wash and dry the vehicle before
waxing it. In addition to the vehicle
body, wax the metal trim to maintain its
lustre:
Use wax which contains no
abrasives. Waxes containing abrasive
will remove paint and could damage
bright metal parts.
Use a good grade of natural wax for
metallic, mica, and solid colors.
When waxing, coat evenly with the
sponge supplied or a soft cloth.
Wipe off the wax with a soft cloth.
Note: A spot remover to remove oil,
tar, and similar materials will usually also
take off the wax. Rewax these areas
even if the rest of the vehicle does not
need it.

2. Remove the drain filter while
pressing the tab.
3. Remove leaves and other matter
accumulated in the drain filter.4. Reinstall the drain filter in the reverse
order of the removal procedure.
Note:
Make sure that the drain filter is
securely attached to its designated
position by pushing it until the tab
locks. Water may enter the vehicle if the
drain filter is not secured to its
designated position. For this operation
go to an Authorized Dealer.
Plastic Part
Maintenance
When cleaning the plastic lenses of the
lights, do not use gasoline, paraffin,
rectified spirit, paint, thinner, highly
acidic detergents, or strongly alkaline
detergents.
Otherwise, these chemical agents can
discolor or damage the surfaces
resulting in a significant loss in
functionality. If plastic parts become
inadvertently exposed to any of these
chemical agents, flush with water
immediately.
If plastic parts such as the bumpers
become inadvertently exposed to
chemical agents or fluids such as
gasoline, oil, engine coolant, or battery
fluid, it could cause discoloration,
staining, or paint peeling. Wipe off any
such chemical agents or fluids using a
soft cloth immediately.
Caution!
High water temperature and high water
pressure car washers are available
depending on the type of high pressure car
washer device. If the car washer nozzle is
put too close to the vehicle or aimed at one
area for an extended period of time, it
could deform plastic parts or damage the
paint.
Do not use wax containing compounds
(polish). Otherwise, it could result in paint
damage.
In addition, do not use an electrical or
air tool to apply wax. Otherwise, the
frictional heat generated could result in
deformation of plastic parts or paint
damage.
