162)When performing any operation on
the battery or near it, always protect your
eyes with special goggles.
IMPORTANT
64)Be careful not to confuse the various
types of fluids while topping up: they are
not compatible with each other! Topping up
with an unsuitable fluid could severely
damage your vehicle.
65)The oil level must never exceed the
MAX. mark.
66)Always top up using engine oil of the
same specifications as that already in the
engine.
67)PARAFLU
UPanti-freeze is used in the
engine 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 happens, do not start the
engine under any circumstances and
contact a Fiat Dealership.
68)Prevent brake fluid, which is highly
corrosive, from coming into contact with
painted parts. Should it happen,
immediately wash with water.
69)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.70)Incorrect installation of electric and
electronic devices may cause severe
damage to your car. After purchasing your
vehicle, if you wish to install any
accessories (e.g. anti-theft, radio phone,
etc.), go to a Fiat Dealership, which will
suggest the most suitable devices and
advise you whether a higher capacity
battery needs to be installed.
IMPORTANT
3)The used engine oil and the filter that has
been replaced contain substances that are
harmful to the environment. To change the
oil and filters, we advise you to contact a
Fiat Dealership.
4)Batteries contain substances which are
very dangerous for the environment. For
battery replacement, contact a Fiat
Dealership.

SERVICING
PROCEDURES
The following pages contain the rules
on therequiredmaintenance
envisaged by the technical personnel
who designed the vehicle.
In addition to these specific
maintenance instructions specified for
routine scheduled servicing, there are
other components which may require
intervention or replacements over the
vehicle’s life cycle.
ENGINE OIL
Engine oil level check
74)
To ensure correct engine lubrication, the
oil must always be kept at the
prescribed level (see "Engine
compartment" in this chapter).
ENGINE OIL FILTER
Replacing the engine oil filter
The engine oil filter must be replaced
each time the engine oil is changed.
It is advisable to replace it with a
genuine spare part, specifically
designed for this vehicle.

AIR FILTER
163)
Replacing the air cleaner
See the "Scheduled servicing plan" for
the correct servicing intervals.
It is advisable to replace it with a
genuine spare part, specifically
designed for this vehicle.
AIR CONDITIONING
SYSTEM MAINTENANCE
75) 76)
To ensure the best possible
performance, the air conditioning
system must be checked and undergo
maintenance at a Fiat Dealership at the
beginning of the summer.
WINDSCREEN / REAR
WINDOW WIPERS
164)
Periodically clean the windscreen and
rear window and rubber profile of the
windscreen/rear window wiper blades,
using a sponge or a soft cloth and a
non-abrasive detergent. This eliminates
the salt or impurities accumulated when
driving.
Prolonged operation of the windscreen
window wipers with dry glass may
cause the deterioration of the blades, in
addition to abrasion of the surface of
the glass. To eliminate the impurities onthe dry glass, always operate the
windscreen/rear window washers.
In the case of very low outdoor
temperatures (below 0 °C), ensure that
the movement of the rubber part in
contact with the glass is not
obstructed, before activating the
windscreen/rear window wiper. Use a
suitable deicing product to release it if
required.
Do not use the windscreen wipers to
remove frost or ice.
Also avoid contact of the rubber profile
of the blades with petroleum derivatives
such as engine oil, petrol, etc.
IMPORTANT The envisaged life of the
windscreen and rear window wiper
blades varies according to the usage
frequency. In any case, it is advisable to
replace the blades approximately once
a year. When the blades are worn,
noise, marks on the glass or streaks of
water may be noticed. In the presence
of these conditions, clean the wiper
blades or, if necessary, replace them.
IMPORTANT Driving with worn
windscreen/rear window wiper blades
is a serious hazard, because visibility is
reduced in bad weather.
Raising the windscreen wiper
blades ("Service position" function)
The "Service position" function allows
the driver to replace the windscreen
wiper blades more easily, protecting
them from snow.
Function activation
To activate this function disable the
windscreen wiper (ring nut 1 fig. 203 in
position
) before setting the ignition
device to STOP.
This function can only be activated
within 2 minutes of setting the ignition
device to STOP.
To activate this function, move the lever
upwards (unstable position) for at least
half a second.
Each time the function is activated
correctly, the wiper blades move to
signal the correct reception of the
command.

Then check that the nozzle holes are
not clogged; use a needle to unblock
them if necessary.
EXHAUST SYSTEM
165) 166)
77)
Adequate maintenance of the engine
exhaust system represents the best
protection against leaks of carbon
monoxide into the passenger
compartment.
WARNING
163)The air intake system (air cleaner,
rubber hoses, etc.) can be a protection in
the case of blowbacks from the engine. DO
NOT REMOVE this system unless you
need to carry out repair or servicing
operations. Before starting the engine,
ensure that the system has not been
removed: failure to observe this precaution
may result in serious injury.
164)Driving with worn windscreen/rear
window wiper blades is a serious hazard,
because visibility is reduced in bad
weather.
165)Exhaust emissions are very
dangerous, and may be lethal. They
contain carbon monoxide, a colourless,
odourless gas which can cause fainting
and poisoning if inhaled.
166)The exhaust system may reach high
temperatures and may cause a fire if the
vehicle is parked on flammable material.
Dry grass or leaves can also catch fire if
they come into contact with the exhaust
system. Do not park or use the vehicle in a
place in which the exhaust system might
come into contact with flammable material.
IMPORTANT
71)It is recommended to have the vehicle
serviced by a Fiat Dealership. When
carrying out normal periodic operations and
small servicing interventions personally on
the vehicle, it is recommended to use
suitable equipment, genuine spare parts
and the necessary fluids. Do not carry out
any interventions if you don't have the
necessary experience.
72)Incorrect servicing of the vehicle or
failure to carry out operations or repairs
(when necessary) may lead to more
expensive repairs, damage to other
components or have a negative impact on
the vehicle performance. Have any
malfunction inspected immediately by a Fiat
Dealership.
73)The vehicle is equipped with fluids
which are optimised or protecting its
performance and life and extending service
intervals. Do not use chemicals for washing
these components since they may damage
the engine, the gearbox or the climate
control system. This damage is not covered
by the vehicle’s warranty. If any component
needs to be washed due to malfunctioning,
use only the specific liquid for that
procedure.
74)An excessive or insufficient amount of
oil inside the base is extremely damaging to
the engine. Make sure it is always at an
adequate level.
