POWER STEERING FLUID
Loose the cap A fig. 194: check that the fluid in the
reservoir is included between the MIN and MAX
on the reservoir.
The level may exceed the MAX mark when the oil is
hot. If topping up is required, make sure the oil
you use has the same specifications as that already in
the system.
WARNING
Prevent power steering fluid from
coming into contact with hot engine
parts: it is flammable.
Power steering fluid consumption is
extremely low; if another top-up is
required after only a short period of time,
have the system checked for leaks at a Fiat
Dealership.

AIR CLEANER/ POLLEN FILTER
Have the air cleaner or the pollen filter replaced by a
Fiat Dealership.
BATTERY
The battery is of the “limited maintenance” type:
under normal conditions of use, the electrolyte does
not need topping up with distilled water.
It does, however, need to be checked regularly at a
Fiat Dealership or by specialist personnel to make
sure it is working properly.
WARNING
The battery fluid is poisonous and
corrosive. Avoid contact with the skin
and eyes. Keep naked flames and sources of
sparks away from the battery: risk of explosion
and fire.
WARNING
Running the battery with an excessively
low liquid level will damage the battery
beyond repair and even cause an explosion.
REPLACING THE BATTERY
If required, replace the battery with an original spare
part with the same specifications.
If a battery with different specifications is fitted, the
service intervals given in the “Scheduled Servicing
Plan” will no longer be valid.

WHEELS AND TYRES
Check the pressure of each tyre, including the spare,
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 the "Wheels" paragraph in the
"Technical specifications" chapter.
Incorrect pressure causes abnormal tyre wear
fig. 195:
Anormal pressure: tread evenly worn.
Blow pressure: tread particularly worn at the edges.
Chigh pressure: tread particularly worn in the
centre.
The tyres must be replaced when the tread is less
than 1.6 mm thick. In any case, follow the laws
in force in the country you are in.IMPORTANT
As far as possible, avoid sharp braking, screech
starts and violent shocks against pavements,
potholes or other hard obstacles. Driving for long
stretches over uneven roads can damage the
tyres;
periodically check that the tyres have no cuts in
the side wall, abnormal swelling or irregular tread
wear. Contact a Fiat Dealership if required;
avoid overloading the car when travelling: this may
cause serious damage to the wheels and tyres;
if a tyre is punctured, stop immediately and
replace it to avoid damage to the tyre, the rim,
suspension and steering system;
tyres age even if they are not used much. Cracks
in the tread and on the side walls are a sign of
ageing. In any event, have the tyres checked by
specialised personnel if they have been fitted for
longer than 6 years. Remember to check the spare
wheel very carefully;
in the case of replacement, always fit new tyres,
avoiding those of dubious origin;
if a tyre is replaced, also replace the inflation valve;
to allow even wear between the front and rear
tyres, it is advisable to change them over every
10–15 thousand kilometres, keeping them on the
same side of the vehicle so as not to reverse
the direction of rotation.

VEHICLE BODY AND UNDERBODY
WARRANTY
Your vehicle is covered by warranty against
perforation due to rust of any original element of the
structure or body.
For the general terms of this warranty, refer to your
Warranty Booklet.ADVICE FOR PRESERVING THE
BODYWORK
Paint
Paintwork does not only serve an aesthetic purpose,
but also protects the underlying sheet metal.
Touch up abrasions and scratches immediately to
prevent the formation of rust. Use only original paint
products for touch-ups (see “Bodywork paint
identification plate” in the “Technical specifications”
section).
Normal care for paintwork consists of washing the
car; how often depends on the conditions and
environment where the car is used.
For example, it is advisable to wash the vehicle more
often in areas with high atmospheric pollution or if
you are travelling on roads sprinkled with salt.
To wash the vehicle properly, proceed as follows:
wash the body using a low pressure jet of water;
wipe a sponge with a slightly soapy solution over
the bodywork, frequently rinsing with the sponge;
rinse well with water and dry with a jet of air or a
chamois leather.
If you put the vehicle through a car wash, follow
these recommendations:
remove the antenna from the roof so it does not
get damaged;
the car wash should use water added to a soapy
solution;
