ELECTRICAL ACCESSORIES
If, after buying the vehicle, you decide to add electrical accessories (that will gradually drain the battery), visit a
Fiat Dealership. They can calculate the overall electrical requirement and check that the vehicle’s electric system can sup-
port the required load.

Correct maintenance of the vehicle is essential for ensuring it stays in tip-top condition and safeguards its safety fea-
tures, its environmental friendliness and low running costs for a long time to come.
THE OWNER HANDBOOK CONTAINS…
… information, tips and important warnings regarding the safe, correct driving of your vehicle, and its maintenance.

By turning the key to the Mposition, the warning light lights up, but it must switch itself off af-
ter a few seconds. The warning light lights up when the Cruise Control is activated.
The warning light lights up when the speed restrictor is activated.
Turning the ignition key to Mthe warning light turns on and it will turn off when glow plugs
reach the preset temperature. Start the engine immediately after warning light switching off.
IMPORTANT With hot ambient temperature, warning light stays on for very short time.
Turning the ignition key to Mthe warning light turns on, but it should go off after few sec-
onds. The warning light turns on when there is water in the diesel fuel filter.m
The presence of water in the fuel circuit may cause serious damage to the
entire injection system and cause irregular engine operation. If the warning
light turns on, contact Fiat Dealership as soon as possible to have the sys-
tem relieved. If the above indications come on immediately after refuelling,
water has probably been poured into the tank: turn the engine off immediately and
contact Fiat Dealership.
Turning the ignition key to M, the warning light turns on, but it should go off after few sec-
onds. The warning light turns on when a scheduled servicing operation is to be carried out.

IMPORTANT The Programmed Mainte-
nance coupons are specified by the Man-
ufacturer. The failure to have them car-
ried out may invalidate the warranty.
Scheduled Servicing is performed by all
Fiat Dealership, at pre-established times.
If during each operation, in addition to the
ones programmed, the need arises for fur-
ther replacements or repairs, these may
be carried out only with the explicit agree-
ment of the Customer.IMPORTANT You are advised to contact
Fiat Dealership in the event of any minor
operating faults, without waiting for the
next service coupon.
If your vehicle is used frequently for tow-
ing, the interval between one service
coupon and the other must be reduced.
SCHEDULED SERVICINGCorrect maintenance is essential for en-
suring long life to your vehicle at top con-
ditions.
This is why Fiat has programmed a series
of checks and maintenance operations
every 30,000 km.
It is however important to remember that
scheduled servicing does not completely
cover all the vehicle’s requirements: also
in the initial period before 30,000 km ser-
vice coupon and later, between one
coupon and another, ordinary care is still
required such as for example routine
check and topping up the level of fluids,
tyre pressure check, etc...

HEAVY-DUTYShould prevailing use of the vehicle be un-
der one of the following specially heavy
conditions:❒
trailer or caravan towing;
❒
dusty roads;
❒
short distances (less than 7-8 km) re-
peated and with external tempera-
tures below zero;
❒
frequently idling engines or long dis-
tance low speed driving (e.g. door-to-
door deliveries) or in case of a long
term inactivity;
❒
driving in the city;
carry out the following checks more fre-
quently than required in the Service
Schedule:
❒
check front disk brake pad conditions
and wear;
❒
check cleanness of locks, bonnet and
boot and lever cleanness and lubrica-
tion;
❒
sight inspect the conditions of: engine,
gearbox, transmission, pipes and hoses
(exhaust - fuel - brakes), rubber parts
(boots, sleeves, bushes, etc.);
❒
check battery charge and fluid level
(electrolyte);
❒
visual check on various drive belt con-
ditions;
❒
check and replace pollen filter, if
required;
❒
check and replace air cleaner, if
required.
ROUTINE
MAINTENANCEEvery 1,000 km or before long journeys,
check and top up if required:❒
engine coolant fluid level;
❒
brake fluid level;
❒
windscreen washer fluid level;
❒
tyre pressure and conditions;
❒
light system operation (headlights, di-
rection indicators, hazard lights, etc.);
❒
windscreen wiper/washer operation
and windscreen/rear window blade
position/wear;
Every 3,000 km check and top up if re-
quired: engine oil level.
You are recommended to use PETRO-
NAS LUBRICANTS, products, designed
and produced specifically for Fiat vehicles
(see table “Capacities” in section “Tech-
nical specifications”).

BRAKE FLUID fig. 11
Unscrew cap Aand check that the fluid
level in the reservoir is at maximum.
Fluid level in the reservoir shall not exceed
the MAXmark.
Use only DOT4fluid for topping up. We
recommend TUTELA TOP 4, which is
the fluid used for first filling.
IMPORTANT Brake fluid absorbs mois-
ture, for this reason, if the vehicle is main-
ly used in areas with a high degree of at-
mospheric humidity, the fluid should be
replaced at more frequent intervals than
specified in the “Service schedule”. Check level through the reservoir.fig. 11
Do not travel with the wind-
screen washer reservoir emp-
ty: the windscreen washer is funda-
mental for improving visibility.
WARNING
Certain commercial addi-
tives for windscreen washers
are inflammable. The engine com-
partment contains hot components
which may set it on fire.

IMPORTANTThe charge in the battery
should be checked every year, preferably
at the start of winter to limit the risk of
electrolyte freezing. This check should be
carried out more frequently if the vehi-
cle is used mainly for short trips, or if it
is fitted with accessories that permanent-
ly absorb electricity even with the ignition
key removed, especially in the case of af-
ter market accessories.

CHANGING THE BATTERY
If required, replace the battery with a gen-
uine spare part having the same specifi-
cations.
If a battery with different specifications is
fitted, the service intervals given in the
“Service schedule” in this section will no
longer be valid.
Refer therefore to the instructions pro-
vided by the battery manufacturer.Incorrect fitting of electrical and electronic accessories can seriously
damage the vehicle. If after buying the vehicle, you want to install elec-
tric accessories which require permanent electric supply (alarm, free-
hand phone kit, etc.) contact Fiat Dealership whose qualified person-
nel, in addition to suggesting the most suitable devices, will evaluate the overall
electric absorption, checking whether the vehicle electric system is capable of
withstanding the load required, or whether it should be integrated with a more
powerful battery.
Batteries contain substances
that are very harmful for the
environment. You are advised
to have the battery changed
at a Fiat Dealership, which is properly
equipped for disposing of used batter-
ies respecting nature and the law.If the vehicle is left inactive
for long periods at cold, re-
move the battery and store it in a
warm place to prevent freezing.

WIPERSBLADES
Periodically clean the rubber part using
special products; TUTELA PROFES-
SIONAL SC 35is recommended.
Change the blades if the rubber edge is
warped or worn out. You should in any case
change them approximately once a year.
A few simple notions can reduce the pos-
sibility of damage to the blades:❒
if the temperature fall below zero,
make sure that ice has not frozen the
rubber against glass. If necessary, thaw
using an antifreeze product;
❒
remove any snow from the glass: in ad-
dition to protecting the blades, this pre-
vents effort on the motor and over-
heating;
❒
do not operate the windscreen wipers
on dry glass.
Driving with worn wiper
blades is a serious hazard,
because visibility is reduced in bad
weather.
WARNING
RUBBER HOSESAs far as the brake system and fuel rubber
hoses are concerned, carefully follow the
“Service schedule” in this section.
Indeed ozone, high temperatures and pro-
longed lack of fluid in the system may
cause hardening and cracking of the hoses,
with possible leaks. Careful control is
therefore necessary.
If the pressure is too low the
tyre overheats and this can
cause it serious damage.
WARNING
Do not cross switch the
tyres, moving them from the
right of the vehicle to the left and vice
versa.
WARNING
Never submit alloy rims to
repainting treatments re-
quiring to use temperatures exceed-
ing 150°C since the mechanical prop-
erties of the wheels could be im-
paired.
