The instructions for good preservation
follow below:
❒ avoid washing with rollers and/or
brushes in washing stations.
Then, wash the vehicle, only by
hand, using pH-neutral detergents;
dry it with a wet chamois leather.
Abrasive products and/or polishes
should not be used for cleaning the
vehicle.
❒ Bird droppings must be washed off
immediately and thoroughly as the
acid they contain is particularly
aggressive.
❒ Avoid (if at all possible) parking the
vehicle under trees; remove
vegetable resins immediately as,
when dried, it may only be possible
to remove them with abrasive
products and/or polishes, which is
highly inadvisable as they could alter
the typical opacity of the paint.
❒ Do not use pure windscreen washer
fluid for cleaning the front
windscreen and rear screen; dilute it
by at least 50% in water.
Some versions are fitted with exclusive
decorations on the door mirror covers;
do not use pressurised or high-
temperature jets of water when washing
them.Versions with stickers or wrapping

To correctly clean and wash the car,
proceed as follows:
❒ Avoid washing with rollers and/or
brushes in washing stations.
Then, wash the vehicle, only by
hand, using pH-neutral detergents;
dry it with a wet chamois leather.
Abrasive products and/or polishes
should not be used for cleaning the
vehicle.
❒ If high pressure jets or cleaners are
used to wash the vehicle, hold at
least 40 cm away from the
bodywork to avoid damage or
alteration. It should be remembered
that the build up of water can
damage the car over a period of
time;
❒ Wash the bodywork using a low
pressure jet of water;
❒ Use a sponge to wipe a slightly
soapy solution over the bodywork,
frequently rinsing the sponge;
❒ Rinse with plenty of water and dry
with a jet of air or a chamois leather.
Dry the less visible parts with special
care, such as the door frames,
bonnet and the headlight frames,
where water may stagnate more
easily. The car should not be taken
to a closed area immediately, but
left outside so that residual water
can evaporate.
Do not wash the car after it has been
parked in the sun.
Exterior plastic parts must be cleaned
in the same way as the rest of the
vehicle.
Where possible, do not park under
trees; the resinous substances that
many species release give the paint a
dull appearance and increase the
possibility of triggering rusting
processes.
IMPORTANT Bird droppings must be
washed off immediately and thoroughly
as the acid they contain is particularly
aggressive.

IMPORTANT Any stains (caused by
water) on the stickers or wrapping can
be removed by dampening the area
again and drying it with a soft, non-
abrasive cloth.

PERSONAL SAFETY
(CONTINUED)
• The electronic Cruise Control can be dangerous if the system is
unable to maintain a constant speed. In specific conditions speed
may be excessive, resulting in the risk of losing control of the
vehicle and causing accidents. Do not use the device in heavy
traffic or on winding, icy, snowy or slippery roads.
39) SERVICING - CHECKING FLUID LEVELS
•Never smoke while working in the engine compartment: gas
and inflammable vapours may be present, with the risk of fire.
•Be very careful when working in the engine compartment when
the engine is hot: you may get burned. Remember that when the
engine is hot, the fan may operate: danger of injury. Scarves, ties
and other loose clothing might be pulled by moving parts.
•The cooling system is pressurised. If necessary, only replace
the plug with another original or the operation of the system may
be adversely affected. Do not remove the reservoir plug when the
engine is hot: you risk scalding yourself.
•Do not travel with the windscreen washer fluid reservoir empty:
the windscreen washer is essential for improving visibility.
•Some commercial windscreen washer additives are flammable.
The engine compartment contains hot components which may
set it on fire.
•Brake fluid is poisonous and highly corrosive. In the event of
accidental contact, immediately wash the affected parts with
water and mild soap. Then rinse thoroughly. Call a doctor
immediately if swallowed.
•Symbol
πon the contain indicates a synthetic brake fluid,
which is different from a mineral fluid.
Use of a mineral type fluid will damage the special rubber seals of
the braking system beyond repair.
•Battery fluid 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. •Before towing, turn the ignition key to MAR and then to STOP
without removing it. The steering column will automatically lock
when the key is removed and the wheels cannot be steered.
•When towing, remember that without the help of the brake
servo and electric power steering, a greater effort is required on
the pedal and steering wheel.
•Do not use flexible cables when towing and avoid jerky
movements.
•During towing, make sure that the trailer hitch does not
damage any components it is touching.
•When towing the vehicle, you must comply with all specific
traffic regulations, both in terms of the towing device and
behaviour on the road.
•Do not start the engine while towing the car.
•The (front/rear) tow hook must be used exclusively for
roadside assistance operations.
You are allowed to tow the vehicle for short distances using an
appropriate device in accordance with the highway code (a rigid
bar), to move the vehicle on the road in readiness for towing or
transport via a breakdown vehicle.
The tow hook MUST NOT be used to tow vehicles off the road
or where there are obstacles and/or for towing operations using
cables or other non-rigid devices. In compliance with the above
conditions, towing must take place with the two vehicles (one
towing, the other towed) aligned as much as possible along the
same centre line.
38) ELECTRONIC CRUISE CONTROL
•Never move the shift lever to neutral when driving with the
device active.
• In the event of device malfunction or failure, contact a Fiat
Dealership.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION AND RECOMMENDATIONS
206(CONTINUES)
25) PARKING SENSORS
• The sensor must be free of mud, dirt, snow or ice in order for
the system to work. Be careful not to scratch or damage the
sensors while cleaning them. Avoid using dry, rough or hard
cloths. The sensors must be washed using clean water, with
the addition of vehicle shampoo if necessary.
When using special washing equipment such as high pressure
jets or steam cleaning, clean the sensors very quickly keeping
the jet more than 10 cm away.
• Have interventions on the bumper in the area of the sensors
carried out only by a Fiat Dealership. Interventions on the
bumper that are not carried out properly may compromise the
operation of the parking sensors.
26) DECAYED ENGINE OIL
To prevent damage to the engine, it is advisable to replace the
engine oil when the red
vwarning light switches on, or
when the yellow vwarning light comes on solid (for versions/markets, where
provided). Contact a Fiat Dealership.
27) BODYWORK
• Avoid washing with rollers and/or brushes in washing stations.
Then, wash the vehicle, only by hand, using pH-neutral
detergents; dry it with a wet chamois leather. Abrasive products
and/or polishes should not be used for cleaning the vehicle.
• Bird droppings must be washed off immediately and
thoroughly as the acid they contain is particularly aggressive. • Avoid (if at all possible) parking the vehicle under trees; remove
vegetable resins immediately as, when dried, it may only be
possible to remove them with abrasive products and/or polishes,
which is highly inadvisable as they could alter the typical
opaqueness of the paint.
• It is not advisable to wash with pressure washer or, in case of
use, it is necessary to maintain at least a minimum distance of 40
cm with water at room temperature.
28) WINDOWS
Do not use pure windscreen washer fluid for cleaning the front
windscreen and rear window - dilute it at least 50% with water.
29 LPG
• The car is equipped with a gaseous LPG injection system
designed specifically for it: it is therefore absolutely forbidden to
alter the configuration of the system or its components. The use of
other components or materials could cause malfunctions and lead
to a reduction in safety; therefore, contact a Fiat Dealership in the
case of fault.
• The system operates at temperatures ranging between −20°C
and 100°C.
• To prevent damage to the LPG system parts when towing or
raising the vehicle, follow the instructions in the “Towing the
vehicle” paragraph of the Owner Handbook.
• When painting in an oven, the LPG tank must be removed from
the car and later refitted by a Fiat Dealership.
