2019 FIAT TIPO 4DOORS wiper blades

The "Service Position" function can be
explicitly requested within two minutes
of stopping the engine, when the
wipers have correctly returned to the
parking position.
The function can be activated by
turning the ring nut to position
and
moving the stalk upwards, to the MIST
position, more than three times.
The activations are used to position the
wipers as preferred. The function is
deactivated when the vehicle is turned
on, with a wiping request or when the
vehicle is moving (speed above
5 Km/h).
IMPORTANT Make sure, when starting
the engine, that the windscreen is free
of snow or ice before turning the
ignition key.
RAIN SENSOR
(where provided)
7) 8)
The sensor will be activated when the
ignition device is turned to MAR, and
will be deactivated in the STOP
position.This is a device located behind the
interior rear view mirrorfig. 30, in
contact with the windscreen and can
measure the amount of rain and,
consequently, manage the automatic
wiping mode of the windscreen in
accordance with the amount of water
on the screen. The rain sensor will be
activated when the ignition device is
turned to MAR. If no rain is detected,
the wiper will not carry out any strokes.
If it is raining, the windscreen wiper
moves according to the amount of rain
measured by the sensor.
Activation/deactivation: use the
display Menu or theUconnect™
system (where provided).
WARNING
22)If the window needs to be cleaned,
make sure the device is deactivated or the
key is on STOP.
IMPORTANT
5)Never use the windscreen wipers to
remove layers of snow or ice from the
windscreen. In such conditions, the
windscreen wiper may be subjected to
excessive stress and the motor cut-out
switch, which prevents operation for a few
seconds, may intervene. If operation is not
subsequently restored, even after restarting
the engine, contact a Fiat Dealership.
6)Do not operate the windscreen wiper
with the blades lifted from the windscreen.
7)Do not activate the rain sensor when
washing the car in an automatic car wash.
8)Make sure the device is switched off if
there is ice on the windscreen.

other components which may require
intervention or replacements over the
vehicle’s life cycle.
ENGINE OIL
Engine oil level check
69)
To ensure correct engine lubrication, the
oil must always be kept at the
prescribed level (see "Engine
compartment" in this chapter).
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.

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.
WINDOWS

be careful, if the defrosting function is
active, regarding the temperature of the
window; also make sure that children
do not come into contact with the
heated surface. The window may be
hot.
Never use an abrasive detergent to
clean the surface of the windows.
Do not use scrapers or sharp items that
might scratch the windows.Spray the detergent on the cloth to be

SERVICING AND CARE

IMPORTANT Do not operate the
windscreen wiper with the blades lifted
from the windscreen.
Windscreen washer
The window washer nozzles are fixed
fig. 174. If there is no jet of fluid, firstly
check that there is fluid in the reservoir
(see paragraph “Engine compartment”
in this chapter). Only use the prescribed
fluid; do not use only water.
Then check that the nozzle holes are
not clogged; use a needle to unblock
them if necessary.
EXHAUST SYSTEM
165) 166)
72)
Adequate maintenance of the engine
exhaust system represents the best
protection against leaks of carbonmonoxide into the passenger
compartment.
AUTOMATIC
TRANSMISSION
(where provided)
73)
Use only a gearbox oil with the same
characteristics as those indicated in the
"Fluids and lubricants" table (see
"Technical specifications" chapter).
Special additives
Do not use any type of additive with the
automatic transmission oil. The
automatic transmission oil is a product
designed specially for this vehicle and
its performance may be compromised
through the use of further additives.
Avoid the use of transmission sealers,
since they may compromise the
efficiency of the automatic transmission
seals.
IMPORTANT Do not use chemicals to
flush the transmission, since this may
damage its components.
Frequency of oil changes
In normal vehicle operating conditions,
it is not necessary to change the
transmission oil.If oil leaks are noticed or irregular
operation of the transmission is
detected, have it checked immediately
at a Fiat Dealership.
IMPORTANT Driving the vehicle with an
insufficient oil level may cause serious
damage to the transmission.
WARNING
164)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.
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.
