CHECKING LEVELS
When topping up, take care not to mix up
the various types of fluids: they are not
compatible with each other and could
seriously damage the car.
WARNING
Never smoke while working in the
engine compar tment : inflammable gases
and vapours may be present , constituting a fire
risk.

WARNING
Do not remove the reservoir cap when
the engine is very hot as there is a
risk of scalding.The cooling system is
pressurised. If the cap needs replacing, do so
with another original or the effectiveness of the
system may be compromised.
PARAFLUUP anti-freeze fluid is used in
the cooling system. Use fluid of the same
type as that contained in the cooling
system for any top-ups. PARAFLU UP cannot be
mixed with any other type of fluid. If this occurs,
do not start the engine and contact your Fiat
Dealership immediately.WINDSCREEN/REAR WINDOW WASHING
FLUID
To add fluid lift the cap A fig. 192 and pour in a
mixture of water and TUTELA PROFESSIONAL SC
35 fluid, in the following proportions:
30% of TUTELA PROFESSIONAL SC 35 and 70%
water in summer
50% TUTELA PROFESSIONAL SC 35 and 50%
water in winter.
At temperatures below -20°C, use undiluted
TUTELA PROFESSIONAL SC 35 fluid.
Check fluid level through the reservoir.
WARNING
Do not travel if the windscreen washer
reservoir is empty: using the windscreen
washer is essential for improving visibility.

WINDSCREEN/REAR WINDOW
WIPERS
(for versions/markets, where provided)
BLADES
Regularly clean the rubber part using appropriate
products; TUTELA PROFESSIONAL SC 35 is
recommended.
Replace the blades if the rubber edge is misshapen or
worn. In any event, it is advisable to replace them
approximately once a year.
A few simple precautions can reduce the possibility
of damage to the blades:
make sure that the rubber part is not stuck to the
windscreen at sub-zero temperatures. Use an
antifreeze product to release it if required;
remove any snow from the glass: in addition to
protecting the blades, this prevents the electric
motor from overheating;
do not operate the windscreen and rear window
wipers on dry glass.
WARNING
Driving with worn wiper blades is a
serious hazard, because visibility is
reduced in bad weather.Replacing the windscreen wiper blades
Proceed as follows:
lift up the windscreen wiper arm and position the
blade so that it forms a 90° angle with the arm;
press tabs A fig. 196 and remove the blade from
the arm;
install the new blade by inserting the straps into
the supplied housings of the arm. Make sure that
the new blade is secured in position.

Replacing the rear window wiper blade
(for versions/markets, where provided) Proceed as
follows:
raise the cover A fig. 197 and remove the arm
from the vehicle by loosening nut B that fastens
it to the pivot pin;
correctly position the new arm and tighten the
nut fully;
lower the cover.
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 jets are fixed. The nozzle
holders are located under the bonnet (see fig. 198).

PROTECTION FROM ATMOSPHERIC
ELEMENTS
The main causes of corrosion are the following:
atmospheric pollution
salty air and humidity (coastal areas, or hot humid
climates)
seasonal environment 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.
Fiat used the best manufacturing technologies on
your vehicle to effectively protect the bodywork
against corrosion.
These are the most important:
painting products and systems which give the
vehicle particular resistance to corrosion and
abrasion;
use of galvanised (or pre-treated) steel sheets,
with high resistance to corrosion;
spraying the underbody, engine compartment,
wheelhouse internal parts and other parts with
highly protective wax products;
spraying of plastic materials for protective
purposes in the most exposed points: under the
doors, inside the mudguard, along the edges, etc.

rinse thoroughly to avoid soap marks staying on
the bodywork or less visible parts.
Some car washes with old-style blades
and/or in a poor state of repair can
damage the paintwork, facilitating the
formation of lines that give the paint a dull/misty
appearance, especially on dark colours. If this
happens, lightly polish the paintwork with
appropriate products.
Dry the less visible parts particularly carefully, such
as the door frames, bonnet and the headlight frames,
where water may stagnate more easily. It is a good
idea to leave the vehicle outdoors for a while after
washing it to give water time to evaporate.
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 should be cleaned in the same
way as the rest of the vehicle. Where possible, do
not park the vehicle under trees; the resinous
substances released by many species give the paint a
dull appearance and increase the possibility of rust.
IMPORTANT Bird droppings should be washed
off immediately and thoroughly as the acid
they contain is particularly aggressive.
Detergents cause water pollution.The
vehicle should be washed in areas
equipped for collecting and purifying the
liquid used in the washing process.
Windows
Use specific detergents to clean the windows. Also
use clean cloths to avoid scratching the glass or
altering the transparency.
IMPORTANT Wipe the rear window gently with a
cloth in the direction of the filaments to avoid
damaging the heating device.
Engine compartment
At the end of each winter, thoroughly wash the
engine compartment, taking care to avoid spraying
the water jet directly onto the electronic control
units and the relay/fuse box on the left side of the
engine compartment (as you look from behind
the wheel). Have this operation performed at a
specialist garage.
IMPORTANT The washing should take place with the
engine cold and the ignition key in the STOP
position. After the wash, make sure that the various
protective devices (e.g. rubber caps and guards)
have not been removed or damaged.

SEATS AND FABRIC PARTS
Remove dust with a soft brush or a vacuum cleaner.
It is advisable to use a damp brush on velvet
upholstery.
Rub the seats with a sponge and a solution of water
and mild soap.
PLASTIC PARTS
It is advisable to clean interior plastic parts with a
damp cloth and a solution of water and non-abrasive
mild soap. To remove grease and tough stains, use
products designed specifically for cleaning plastics.
These have no solvents and have been designed
so that they do not alter the appearance and colour
of the components.
IMPORTANT Never use spirits or petroleum to
clean the instrument panel glass.
REAL LEATHER STEERING WHEEL/GEAR
LEVER KNOB/HANDBRAKE
(for versions/markets, where provided)
These components must be cleaned with mild soap
and water only. Never use alcohol or alcohol-based
products.
Read the product label carefully before using specific
products for cleaning the interiors: make sure the
product does not contain spirits or alcohol-based
substances.
If, when cleaning the windscreen with special
products, window cleaner accidentally drips onto theleather of the steering wheel/gear lever knob/hand
brake, wipe away immediately and then wash the
affected area with mild soap and water.
IMPORTANT Be careful when installing a steering
wheel locking device not to damage the leather
upholstery.
