To check the fluid level
Check the fluid level in the reservoir
while the engine is idling. Check to
make certain that the power steering
fluid level is always between the “MAX”
and “MIN” level markings on the fluid
reservoir and top up the fluid, if
necessary.
WARNING
374)Prevent power steering fluid from
coming into contact with hot engine parts:
it is flammable.
IMPORTANT
3)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.

NOTE Check to see if the battery is
securely installed and cannot be moved
during travel. Also check each terminal
for tightness.
NOTE When the vehicle is to be left
unused for a long period of time,
remove the battery and store it in a
place where the battery fluid will not
freeze. The battery should be stored
only in a fully charged condition.
WARNING
375)Battery liquid is poisonous and
corrosive. Avoid contact with skin and
eyes. Keep naked flames and sources of
sparks away from the battery: risk of
explosion and fire.
376)Before performing any operation on
the electrical system, disconnect the
negative battery cable through the suitable
terminal, after having waited at least one
minute from turning the ignition key to
STOP.
377)Keep sparks, cigarettes, and flames
away from the battery because the battery
could explode.
378)The battery electrolyte is extremely
caustic. Do not allow it to come in contact
with your eyes, skin, clothing, or the
painted surfaces of the vehicle. Spilt
electrolyte should be flushed immediately
with ample amounts of water. Irritation to
eyes or skin from contact with electrolyte
requires immediate medical attention.
379)Ventilate when charging or using the
battery in an enclosed space.380)Always wear protective eye goggles
when working near the battery.
381)Keep it out of reach of children.
382)Using the battery with insufficient fluid
irreparably damages the battery and may
cause an explosion.
IMPORTANT
188)Incorrect assembly of electrical and
electronic devices may cause severe
damage to your vehicle. Contact a Fiat
Dealership if you want to install accessories
after purchasing the vehicle (alarms,
radiophone, etc.): they will suggest the
most suitable devices and advise you
whether a higher capacity battery needs to
be installed.
189)If the vehicle needs to be off the road
for a long period under conditions of
intense cold, remove the battery and take it
to a heated location, otherwise it may
freeze.
190)Do not bring the nearby parts, the
plastic parts and so on into contact with
sulphuric acid (battery electrolyte) which
may crack, stain or discolour them. If they
are in contact, wipe off with soft cloth,
chamois or the like and an aqueous
solution of neutral detergent then
immediately rinse the affected parts with
plenty of water.
191)If the vehicle must remain unused for
a long time at a very low temperature,
remove the battery and take it to a warm
place, to avoid freezing.192)Never disconnect the battery when
the ignition switch or the operation mode is
in the “ON” position; doing so could
damage the vehicle’s electrical
components.
193)Never short-circuit the battery. This
could cause it to overheat and be
damaged.
194)If the battery is to be quick-charged,
first disconnect the battery cables.
195)In order to prevent a short circuit, be
sure to disconnect the negative (-) terminal
first.
IMPORTANT
4)Batteries contain substances which are
very dangerous for the environment. For
battery replacement, contact a Fiat
Dealership.

exhaust gas leakage
Look under the body of your vehicle to
check for fuel, engine coolant, oil and
exhaust gas leaks.
Exterior and interior lamp operation

cloth soaked in a mild soap and water
solution.
2. Dip cloth in fresh water and wring it
out well. Using this cloth, wipe off the
detergent thoroughly.
NOTE Do not use cleaners,
conditioners, and protectants
containing silicones or wax. Such
products, when applied to the
instrument panels or other parts, may
cause reflections on the windscreen
and obscure vision. Also, if such
products get on the switches of the
electrical accessories, it may lead to
failure of these accessories.NOTE Do not use synthetic fiber or dry
cloth. They can cause discolouring or
damaging the surface.
NOTE Do not place a deodorizer on
the instrument panel or near lamps and
instruments. The ingredients for
deodorizer can cause discolouring or
cracking.
Upholstery
1. To maintain the value of your new
vehicle, handle the upholstery carefully
and keep the interior clean. Use a
vacuum cleaner and brush to clean the
seats. If stained, synthetic leather
should be cleaned with an appropriate
cleaner. Cloth fabrics can be cleaned
with either upholstery cleaner or a mild
soap and water solution.
2. Clean the carpeting with a vacuum
cleaner and remove any stains with
carpet cleaner. Oil and grease can be
removed by lightly dabbing with a clean
colourfast cloth and stain remover.
Genuine leather
1. To clean, lightly wipe the leather with
a soft cloth soaked in a mild soap and
water solution.
2. Dip cloth in fresh water and wring it
out well. Using this cloth, wipe off the
detergent thoroughly.
3. Apply leather protecting agent to the
genuine leather surface.NOTE If genuine leather is wet with
water or is washed in water, wipe off
water as quickly as possible with a dry,
soft cloth. If left damp, mildew may
grow.
NOTE Organic solvents such as
benzine, kerosene, alcohol and petrol,
acid or alkaline solvents may discolour
the genuine leather surface. Be sure to
use neutral detergents.
NOTE Remove oil substances quickly
as they can stain genuine leather.
NOTE The genuine leather surface may
harden and shrink if it is exposed to
direct rays of the sun for long hours.
When your vehicle is parked, place it in
the shade as much as possible.
NOTE When the temperature of the
vehicle interior rises in summer, vinyl
products left on the genuine leather
seat may deteriorate and stick to the
seat.
WARNING
385)Do not keep aerosol cans in the
vehicle: they might explode. Aerosol cans
must not be exposed to a temperature
exceeding 50°C. When the vehicle is
exposed to sunlight, the internal
temperature can greatly exceed this value.

SERVICING AND MAINTENANCE

Snow tyres
391)
219) 220)
The use of snow tyres is recommended
for driving on snow and ice. To preserve
driving stability, mount snow tyres of the
same size and tread pattern on all four
wheels. Snow tyres worn more than 50
% are no longer suitable for use as
snow tyres. The pattern depth shall be
at least 3mm (for markets / versions,
where provided). Snow tyres which do
not meet specifications must not be
used.
NOTE The laws and regulations
concerning snow tyres (driving speed,
required use, type, etc.) vary. Find out
and follow the laws and regulations in
the area you intend to drive.
NOTE If flange nuts are used on your
vehicle, change to tapered nuts when
steel wheels are used.NOTE For markets / versions, where
provided, the identification letters
indicated on the winter tyres provide
information on the permissible speeds
for M&S tyres:
QMS: up to 160 kph
TMS: up to 190 kphThe respective
maximum speed should absolutely be
observed and a signboard to be
introduced into the field of view of the
driver, in case the maximum vehicle
speed indicated in the vehicle
registration a certificate is greater.
Snow traction device
(tyre chains)
If snow traction device (tyre chains)
have to be used, ensure that they are
fitted only on the drive wheels (rear) in
accordance with the manufacturer’s
instructions.
On 4WD vehicles in which the driving
power is distributed preferentially to the
rear wheels, ensure that the snow
traction device (Tyre chains) are fitted
on the rear.
Use only snow traction device (Tyre
chains) which are designed for use with
the tyres mounted on the vehicle: use
of the incorrect size or type of snow
traction device (Tyre chains) could result
in damage to the vehicle body.
Contact a Fiat Dealership before putting
on snow traction device (tyre chains).
The max. snow traction device (tyre
chains) height is as follows.
Tyre sizeWheel

245/65R17 17x7 1/2J
When driving with snow traction device
(tyre chains) on the tyres, do not drive
faster than 50 km/h. When you reach
roads that are not covered in snow,
immediately remove the snow traction
device (tyre chains).

traction device (tyre chains) on roads
without snow.
WARNING
387)Driving with tyres that are worn,
damaged or improperly inflated can lead to
a loss of control or blow out of the tyres
which can result in a collision with serious
or fatal injury.
388)Remember that the road holding
qualities of your vehicle also depend on the
correct inflation pressure of the tyres.
