INTERIORS
Seats And Fabric Parts
Use a specific product to clean fabric uphol-
stery and carpeting.
Seat Belt Maintenance
Do not bleach, dye or clean the belts with
chemical solvents or abrasive cleaners. This
will weaken the fabric. Sun damage can also
weaken the fabric.
If the belts need cleaning, use a mild soap
solution or lukewarm water. Do not remove
the belts from the vehicle to wash them. Dry
with a soft cloth. Replace the belts if they appear frayed or
worn or if the buckles do not work properly.
CAUTION!
Avoid washing with rollers and/or brushes
in washing stations. Wash the vehicle only
by hand using neutral pH detergents; dry it
with a wet chamois leather. Abrasive
products and/or polishes should not be
used for cleaning the car. 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 windshield
washer fluid for cleaning the front
windshield and rear window; dilute it min.
50% with water. Only use pure windshield
washer fluid when strictly necessary due to
outside temperature conditions.
WARNING!
Do not use volatile solvents for cleaning
purposes. Many are potentially flammable,
and if used in closed areas they may cause
respiratory harm.
WARNING!
A frayed or torn belt could rip apart in a
collision and leave you with no protection.
Inspect the belt system periodically,
checking for cuts, frays, or loose parts.
Damaged parts must be replaced
immediately. Do not disassemble or modify
the system. Seat belt assemblies must be
replaced after a collision if they have been
damaged (i.e., bent retractor, torn
webbing, etc.).

Plastic And Coated Parts
Use a specific product to clean vinyl
upholstery.
Cleaning Plastic Instrument Cluster Lenses
The lenses in front of the instruments in this
vehicle are molded in clear plastic. When
cleaning the lenses, care must be taken to
avoid scratching the plastic.
1. Clean with a wet soft cloth. A mild soapsolution may be used, but do not use
high alcohol content or abrasive
cleaners. If soap is used, wipe clean with
a clean damp cloth.
2. Dry with a soft cloth.
Leather Parts
Your leather upholstery can be best
preserved by regular cleaning with a damp
soft cloth. Small particles of dirt can act as
an abrasive and damage the leather uphol -
stery and should be removed promptly with a
damp cloth. Care should be taken to avoid
soaking your leather upholstery with any
liquid. Please do not use polishes, oils,
cleaning fluids, solvents, detergents, or
ammonia-based cleaners to clean your
leather upholstery. Application of a leather
conditioner is not required to maintain the
original condition.
NOTE:
If equipped with light colored leather, it
tends to show any foreign material, dirt, and
fabric dye transfer more so than darker
colors. The leather is designed for easy
cleaning.
Glass Surfaces
All glass surfaces should be cleaned on a
regular basis with any commercial house -
hold-type glass cleaner. Never use an abra -
sive type cleaner. Use caution when cleaning
the inside rear window equipped with elec -
tric defrosters or windows equipped with
radio antennas. Do not use scrapers or other
sharp instruments that may scratch the
elements.
When cleaning the rear view mirror, spray
cleaner on the towel or cloth that you are
using. Do not spray cleaner directly on the
mirror.
CAUTION!
Direct contact of air fresheners, insect
repellents, suntan lotions, or hand
sanitizers to the plastic, painted, or
decorated surfaces of the interior may
cause permanent damage. Wipe away
immediately.
Damage caused by these type of
products may not be covered by your
New Vehicle Limited Warranty.
CAUTION!
Do not use Alcohol and Alcohol-based and/
or Ketone based cleaning products to
clean leather upholstery, as damage to the
upholstery may result.

FLUIDS AND LUBRICANTS
Engine
Your vehicle is equipped with an engine oil that has been thoroughly developed and tested in order to meet the requirements of the Scheduled
Servicing Plan. Constant use of the prescribed lubricants guarantees the fuel consumption and emission specifications. Lubricant quality is
crucial for engine operation and duration. If lubricants conforming to the specific request are not available, products that meet the indicated
specifications can be used to top up, in this case optimal performance of the engine is not guaranteed.
ComponentFluid, Lubricant, or Genuine Part
Engine Coolant
We recommend you use PARAFLU UP Formula OAT (Organic Additive
Technology) or equivalent meeting the requirements of FCA Material
Standard MS.90032
Engine Oil – (2.0L Gasoline Engine) We recommend you use SELENIA K POWER PLUS, or equivalent,
API SN PLUS Certified SAE 5W-30 Full Synthetic Engine Oil,
meeting the requirements of FCA Material Standard MS-13340. If
SN PLUS or equivalent oil is unavailable then use SELENIA
DIGITEK PE, or equivalent, SAE 0W-30 ACEA C2/API SN Full
Synthetic Engine Oil, meeting the requirement of FCA Material
Standard 9.55535-GS1.
CAUTION!
Failure to use the recommended SN PLUS or equivalent oil can cause

and ACEA C2.
NOTE:
If lubricants compliant with the required specifications are not
available, products that comply with the minimum required char-
acteristics can be used for topping off; in this case optimal perfor -
mance of the engine is not guaranteed.
The use of products with specifications other than those indicated
above could cause damage to the engine not covered by the
warranty.

CAUTION!
Mixing of engine coolant (antifreeze)
other than specified Organic Additive
Technology (OAT) engine coolant (anti-
freeze), may result in engine damage
and may decrease corrosion protection.
Organic Additive Technology (OAT)
engine coolant is different and should
not be mixed with Hybrid Organic Addi -
tive Technology (HOAT) engine coolant
(antifreeze) or any “globally compatible”
coolant (antifreeze). If a non-OAT engine
coolant (antifreeze) is introduced into
the cooling system in an emergency, the
cooling system will need to be drained,
flushed, and refilled with fresh OAT
coolant (conforming to MS.90032), by
an authorized dealer as soon as possible.Do not use water alone or alcohol-based
engine coolant (antifreeze) products. Do
not use additional rust inhibitors or anti -
rust products, as they may not be
compatible with the radiator engine
coolant and may plug the radiator.
This vehicle has not been designed for
use with propylene glycol-based engine
coolant (antifreeze). Use of propylene
glycol-based engine coolant (antifreeze)
is not recommended.
The use of products with different spec-
ifications than those indicated above
could cause damage to the engine that is
not covered by the warranty.
CAUTION! (Continued)
Use AdBlue® 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.
The distribution companies are respon -
sible 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 recognize any guarantee
in case of malfunctions and damage
caused to the vehicle due to the use of
AdBlue® not in accordance with regula-
tions.
