25) PARKING SENSORS
• The sensor must be free of mud, dirt, snow or ice in order for
the system to work. Be careful not to scratch or damage the
sensors while cleaning them. Avoid using dry, rough or hard
cloths. The sensors must be washed using clean water, with
the addition of vehicle shampoo if necessary.
When using special washing equipment such as high pressure
jets or steam cleaning, clean the sensors very quickly keeping
the jet more than 10 cm away.
• Have interventions on the bumper in the area of the sensors
carried out only by a Fiat Dealership. Interventions on the
bumper that are not carried out properly may compromise the
operation of the parking sensors.
26) DECAYED ENGINE OIL
To prevent damage to the engine, it is advisable to replace the
engine oil when the red
v warning light switches on, or
when the yellow
v
warning light comes on solid (for versions/markets, where
provided). Contact a Fiat Dealership.
27) BODYWORK
• Avoid washing with rollers and/or brushes in washing stations.
Then, wash the vehicle, only by hand, using pH-neutral
detergents; dry it with a wet 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.
• It is not advisable to wash with pressure washer or, in case of
use, it is necessary to maintain at least a minimum distance of 40
cm with water at room temperature.
28) WINDOWS
Do not use pure windscreen washer fluid for cleaning the front
windscreen and rear window - dilute it at least 50% with water.
29 LPG
• The car is equipped with a gaseous LPG injection system
designed specifically for it: it is therefore absolutely forbidden to
alter the configuration of the system or its components. The use of
other components or materials could cause malfunctions and lead
to a reduction in safety; therefore, contact a Fiat Dealership in the
case of fault.
• The system operates at temperatures ranging between −20°C
and 100°C.
• To prevent damage to the LPG system parts when towing or
raising the vehicle, follow the instructions in the “Towing the
vehicle” paragraph of the Owner Handbook.
• When painting in an oven, the LPG tank must be removed from
the car and later refitted by a Fiat Dealership.
