CONDENSATION DISCHARGE (MultiJet versions) The presence of water in the supply circuit may cause severe damage to the injection system and irregular engine operation.
BATTERY CHANGING THE BATTERY The car has a low-maintenance battery: no top-ups with distilled water are needed in standard conditions of use. If required, replace the battery with a genuine spare part with the same specifications. If a battery with different specifications is fitted, the service intervals given in the "Scheduled Servicing Plan" in this chapter will no longer be valid. Follow the battery manufacturer's instructions for maintenance.
GETTING TO KNOW YOUR CAR SAFETY WARNING If the vehicle must remain unused for a long time at a very low temperature, remove the battery and take it to a warm place, to avoid freezing. WARNING STARTING AND DRIVING WARNING LIGHTS AND MESSAGES IN AN EMERGENCY SERVICING AND MAINTENANCE TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS INDEX 178 When performing any operation on the battery or near it, always protect your eyes with special goggles.
WHEELS AND TYRES Check the pressure of each tyre, including the space-saver wheel, approximately every two weeks and before long journeys: the pressure should be checked with the tyre rested and cold. It is normal for the pressure to increase when the car is used; for the correct tyre inflation pressure, see “Wheels” in the “Technical specifications” section. Incorrect pressure causes abnormal tyre wear fig. 141: A normal pressure: tread evenly worn. B low pressure: tread particularly worn at the edges.
GETTING TO KNOW YOUR CAR WARNING Remember that the road holding qualities of your car also depend on correct tyre pressures. SAFETY WARNING STARTING AND DRIVING WARNING LIGHTS AND MESSAGES IN AN EMERGENCY SERVICING AND MAINTENANCE TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS INDEX 180 If tyre pressure is too low, it may overheat and be severely damaged as a result. WARNING Do not switch tyres from the righthand side of the vehicle to the lefthand side, and vice versa.
WINDSCREEN/REAR WINDOW WIPER BLADES Periodically clean the rubber part using special products; TUTELA PROFESSIONAL SC 35 is recommended. Replace the blades if the rubber edge is deformed or worn. In any case, it is advisable to replace them approximately once a year. A few simple precautions can reduce the possibility of damage to the blades: ❒ if the temperature falls below zero, make sure that ice has not frozen the rubber against the glass.
GETTING TO KNOW YOUR CAR SAFETY STARTING AND DRIVING WARNING LIGHTS AND MESSAGES CHANGING THE REAR WINDOW WIPER BLADE Proceed as follows: ❒ raise the cover A fig. 143 and remove the arm from the car, undoing the nut B fig. 143 that fastens it to the pivot pin; ❒ fit the new arm, positioning it correctly, and fully tighten the nut; ❒ lower the cover. The windscreen jets are directed by adjusting the angle of the nozzles.
REAR WINDOW JETS (WASHERS) BODYWORK Rear window washer jets are fixed. The nozzle holder is on the rear window fig. 145. PROTECTION FROM ATMOSPHERIC AGENTS fig. 145 The main causes of corrosion are the following: ❒ atmospheric pollution ❒ salty air and humidity (coastal areas, or hot humid climates); ❒ seasonal environmental conditions. The abrasive action of wind-borne atmospheric dust and sand, as well as mud and gravel raised by other vehicles is also not to be underestimated.
BODY AND UNDERBODY WARRANTY GETTING TO KNOW YOUR CAR SAFETY STARTING AND DRIVING WARNING LIGHTS AND MESSAGES IN AN EMERGENCY SERVICING AND MAINTENANCE TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS INDEX 184 Your car is covered by warranty against perforation due to rust of any original element of the structure or body. For the general terms of this warranty, refer to the Warranty Booklet. ADVICE FOR PRESERVING THE BODYWORK Paint Paintwork does not only serve an aesthetic purpose, but also protects the underlying sheet metal.
Dry the less visible parts particularly carefully, 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 left in the sun or with the bonnet hot: this may alter the shine of the paintwork. External plastic parts must be cleaned in the same way as the rest of the car.
water. IMPORTANT The washing should take place with the engine cold and the ignition key in the STOP position. After the washing operation, make sure that the various protections (e.g. rubber caps and guards) have not been removed or damaged. America versions Front headlights Your FIAT America has exclusive decorations on the door mirror fairings which require special care when washing in order to preserve them. IMPORTANT Never use aromatic substances (e.g. petrol) or ketenes (e.g.
INTERIORS PLASTIC AND COATED PARTS Regularly check that water is not trapped under the mats (due to water dripping off shoes, umbrellas, etc.), as this could cause oxidation of the sheet metal. It is advisable to clean interior parts with a moist cloth and a solution of water and mild neutral soap. Use specific products for cleaning plastic, without solvents and specifically designed to prevent damage to the appearance and colour of the treated parts to remove grease and tough stains.
