CHECKING THE CHARGE AND THE ELECTROLYTE LEVEL Inspection operations must be carried out only by specialised personnel, following the prescriptions contained in this Owner Handbook. Any top-up operations must be carried out only by specialised personnel at a Fiat Dealership.
KNOWING YOUR VEHICLE WARNING If the vehicle must remain unused for a long time at very low temperatures, remove the battery and take it to a warm place to avoid freezing. SAFETY WARNING STARTING AND DRIVING WARNING LIGHTS AND MESSAGES IN AN EMERGENCY SERVICING AND CARE TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS CONTENTS 224 If you have to perform 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 spare, 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. 219: A normal pressure: tread evenly worn. B low pressure: tread particularly worn at the edges.
KNOWING YOUR VEHICLE SAFETY ❒ if a tyre is replaced, you should also change the inflation valve; ❒ to allow even wear between the front and rear tyres, it is advisable to switch them every 10-15 thousand kilometres, keeping them on the same side of the car so as not to reverse the direction of rotation.
WINDSCREEN WIPER BLADES Clean the rubber part regularly using special products; TUTELA PROFESSIONAL SC35 is recommended. Replace the blades if the rubber edge is misshapen or worn. In any event, it is advisable to replace them approximately once a year. A few simple precautions can reduce the possibility of damage to the blades: ❒ make sure that the rubber part is not frozen to the windscreen in sub-zero temperatures.
KNOWING YOUR VEHICLE SAFETY STARTING AND DRIVING WARNING LIGHTS AND MESSAGES Changing the rear window wiper blade fig. 211 Proceed as follows: ❒ raise the cover A and remove the arm from the car, slackening the nut B that fastens it to the pivot pin; ❒ fit the new arm, positioning it correctly, and fully tighten the nut; ❒ lower the cover.

BODYWORK VEHICLE BODY AND UNDERBODY WARRANTY PROTECTION FROM ATMOSPHERIC AGENTS The main causes of corrosion are the following: ❒ atmospheric pollution; ❒ salty air and humidity (coastal areas or hot and humid climates); ❒ seasonal environmental conditions. The abrasive action of wind-borne atmospheric dust and sand, as well as mud and gravel raised by other cars is also not to be underestimated.
KNOWING YOUR VEHICLE SAFETY STARTING AND DRIVING WARNING LIGHTS AND MESSAGES IN AN EMERGENCY To wash the car properly, proceed as follows: ❒ if taking your car through an automatic car wash, remove the aerial from the roof; ❒ wash the body using a low-pressure jet of water; ❒ use a sponge to wipe a slightly soapy solution over the bodywork, frequently rinsing the sponge; ❒ rinse with plenty of water and dry with a jet of air or a chamois leather.
INTERIOR SEATS AND FABRIC PARTS Check regularly that water is not trapped under the mats (due to drops from shoes, umbrellas, etc.), as this could cause the sheet metal to rust. Remove dust with a soft brush or a vacuum cleaner. It is advisable to use a damp brush on velvet upholstery. Wipe the seats with a sponge soaked in a solution of mild detergent and water. KNOWING YOUR VEHICLE SAFETY WARNING Never use flammable products, such as petroleum ether or modified petrol, to clean inside the car.
KNOWING YOUR VEHICLE SAFETY STARTING AND DRIVING WARNING LIGHTS AND MESSAGES IN AN EMERGENCY SERVICING AND CARE TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS CONTENTS 232 PLASTIC PARTS It is advisable to clean interior plastic parts with a damp cloth and a solution of water and non-abrasive mild soap.
