2020 FIAT TALENTO warning

wash the vehicle with high pressure
cleaners;
apply stickers to the painted surfaces
(they might leave traces).
What to do
Wash the vehicle by hand, with lots of
water, using a soft cloth or sponge.
Going through an automatic car
wash
Bring the windscreen wiper to the stop
position (refer to the "Windscreen /
Rearscreen wiper” paragraph in the
"Getting to know your vehicle” chapter).
Check that external equipment is fixed
properly (additional lamps, rearview
mirrors) and remove the radio aerial (for
versions/markets where provided).
Headlight cleaning
Since the headlights are equipped with
plastic materials, use a soft cloth or
cotton pad. If this is not sufficient, wet it
slightly with soapy water, then rinse with
a soft cloth or cotton. Finish by drying
delicately with a soft, dry cloth. Do not
use alcohol based detergents or tools
(e.g. a scraper).
Windows
(e.g.: the instrument panel, clock,
outside temperature display panel,
radio display panel, multi-media or
multi-function display panel, etc.)Use a soft, cotton cloth. If this is not
sufficient, use a soft cloth (or a cotton
pad) slightly wetted with soapy water,
then rinse with a soft cloth or wet
cotton.
Finish by drying delicately with a soft,
dry cloth.
Do not use alcohol-based products
and/or atomisers on the area.
WARNING
225)In order to preserve the aesthetic
appearance of the paint, abrasive products
and/or polishes should not be used for
cleaning the vehicle.
226)Avoid washing with rollers and/or
brushes in washing stations. Wash the
vehicle only by hand using neutral pH
detergents; dry it with a dampened
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. Do not
use pure windscreen washer fluid for
cleaning the front windscreen and rear
window; dilute it min. 50% with water. Only
use pure screen washer fluid when strictly
necessary due to outside temperature
conditions.
IMPORTANT
7)Detergents pollute the environment. The
vehicle should be washed in areas
equipped for collecting and purifying the
liquid used in the washing process.
179

WARNING
227)Never use flammable products, such
as petrol ether or rectified petrol to clean
the inside of the vehicle. The electrostatic
charges which are generated by rubbing
during the cleaning operation may cause a
fire.
228)Do not keep aerosol cans in the
vehicle: they might explode. Aerosol cans
must not be exposed to a temperature
exceeding 50°C. When the vehicle is
exposed to sunlight, the internal
temperature can greatly exceed this value.
229)There must be no obstacles on the
floor underneath the pedals; make sure
that mats are always flat and do not
interfere with the pedals.
IMPORTANT
62)We advise you not to use a high
powered or spray cleaner inside the
passenger compartment: without the
necessary precautions, you could damage
the electrical or electronic components in
the vehicle.
63)Never use alcohol, petrols and
derivatives to clean the dashboard and
instrument panel lens.

WARNING
230)Modifications or repairs to the supply system that are not carried out correctly or do not take the system technical specifications into
account can cause malfunctions leading to the risk of fire.
185

WARNING
231)Use AdBlue (Urea) additive only
according to DIN 70 070 and ISO
22241-1. Other fluids may cause damage
to the system: also exhaust emissions
would no longer comply with the law.
232)The distribution companies are
responsible for the compliance of their
product. Observe the precautions of
storage and servicing, in order to preserve
the initial qualities. The manufacturer of the
vehicle does not recognise any guarantee
in case of malfunctions and damage
caused to the vehicle due to the use of
AdBlue (Urea) additive not in accordance
with regulations.
233)Always turn off the ignition device
before working in the engine compartment
(see the related information in the “Starting
the engine” paragraph in the “Starting and
driving” chapter).
234)Do not open the coolant circuit. It is
dangerous to eyes and skin.

During driving
White smoke coming from the exhaust
pipe.This does not necessarily indicate a
defect: the smoke comes from
regenerating the particulate filter.Please see the paragraph "Details about the Diesel
version".
Smoke coming from underneath the
vehicle when starting the heating.This does not necessarily indicate a
fault: the smoke comes from the boiler.
In this case, the smoke will gradually
disappear when the passenger
compartment has reached the right
temperature.
