applicable regulation is indicated on the
Fix&Go kit package label. Compliance with the
indications on the label is an essential condition
to ensure the safety and the effectiveness of
the Fix&Go kit . Carefully read the label before

therefore the tyre must be examined and
repaired by a specialist as soon as
possible.The sealing fluid is effective at
temperatures between -40°C and +50°C. It is
possible to repair tyres which have been damaged
on tread up to a diameter of 4mm; however,
tyres damaged on their side cannot be repaired.
Before using Fix&Go kit , ensure that the tyre isn't
excessively damaged and that the rim is in good
condition, otherwise do not use it and contact
a Fiat Dealership. Do not remove foreign bodies
from the tyre. Do not let the compressor turned
on for more than 20 consecutive minutes -

RUBBER LINES
Follow the requirements in “Scheduled Servicing
Plan” in this section carefully for brake and fuel
rubber lines.
Ozone, high temperatures and a prolonged lack of
fluid in the system may cause hardening and cracking
of the tubes, which could result in leaks. Careful
inspections are therefore necessary.
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.

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.
