WINDSCREEN / REAR
WINDOW WIPERS
Raising the windscreen wipers
If you need to lift the windscreen wiper
blades (e.g. in case of snow or when
they need to be replaced), you need to
activate the "Service Position" function
(see paragraph "Windscreen/Rear
window wiper" in the "Knowing your
vehicle" chapter).
To lower the blades, set the ignition
device to MAR-ON.
IMPORTANT Place the blades back in
contact with the windscreen before
activating the windscreen wiper again
and/or setting the ignition device to
MAR-ON.
Replacing the windscreen wiper
blades
Proceed as follows:
raise the wiper arm, press button A
fig. 171 of the attachment spring and
remove the blade from the arm;
fit the new blade, inserting the tab in
the dedicated housing in the arm and
checking that it is locked;
lower the wiper arm on the
windscreen.
IMPORTANT Do not operate the
windscreen wiper with the blades lifted
from the windscreen.
Replacing the rear window wiper
blade
Proceed as follows:
widen the two tabs as shown by the
arrows and rotate cover A
fig. 172 outwards;
undo nut B and remove arm C from
the central pin;
correctly align the new arm;
fully tighten nut B and then refit
cover A.
IMPORTANT Do not operate the rear
window wiper with the blade lifted from
the rear window.
NOZZLES
Windscreen washer
The window washer nozzles are fixed. If
there is no jet of fluid, firstly check that
there is fluid in the reservoir (see

needle to unblock them if necessary.
IMPORTANT In versions with sun roof,
make sure that the roof is closed before
operating the windscreen washer
nozzles.
Rear window washer
The rear window washer nozzle is fixed.
The jet nozzle is located at the side of

EXHAUST SYSTEM
178) 179)
98)
Adequate maintenance of the engine
exhaust system represents the best
protection against leaks of carbon
monoxide into the passenger
compartment.
AUTOMATIC
TRANSMISSION
99)
Use only a gearbox fluid with the same
characteristics as those indicated in the
"Fluids and lubricants" table (see
"Technical specifications" chapter).
WARNING
177)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. 178)
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.
179) 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
92) 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.
93) 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. 94)
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.
95) 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.
96) Always require the use of only
compressor coolants and lubricants
approved and suitable for the specific air
conditioning system fitted on the vehicle.
Some non-approved coolants are
flammable and may explode, with the risk
of injuries. The use of non-approved
coolants or lubricants may adversely affect
system efficiency, leading to expensive
repairs.
97) The air conditioner system contains
coolant under high pressure: to avoid
injuries to people or damage to the system,
any coolant addition or repair that requires
to disconnect the cables must be carried
out by a Fiat Dealership.
