The windscreen jets are directed by
adjusting the angle.
The jets should be directed at about a
third of the height from the top edge of

BODYWORK
ADVICE FOR
PRESERVING THE
BODYWORK
Paint
Paintwork does not only serve an
aesthetic purpose, but also protects the
underlying sheet metal. Normal care for
paintwork consists of washing the car;
how often depends on the conditions
and environment where the car is used.
For example, in highly polluted areas, or
if the roads are spread with salt, it is
advisable to wash the car more
frequently.
IMPORTANT Bird droppings should be
washed off immediately and thoroughly
as the acid they contain is particularly
aggressive.
Versions with matt paintwork
These versions have exclusive matt
paintwork which requires special care
for its preservation.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION AND RECOMMENDATIONS
188(CONTINUES)
PERSONAL SAFETY
(CONTINUED)
7) DAYTIME RUNNING LIGHTS (DRL)
•The daytime running lights are an alternative to the dipped
beam headlights for driving during the daytime in countries
where it is compulsory to have lights on during the day, and
they are also permitted in those countries where this is not
obligatory.
•Daytime running lights cannot replace dipped beam
headlights when driving at night or through tunnels.
•The use of daytime running lights is governed by the highway
code of the country in which you are driving. Comply with legal
requirements.
8) FUEL CUT-OFF SYSTEM
If, after an impact, you smell fuel or notice leaks from the fuel
system, do not reactivate the system to avoid the risk of fire.
9) INTERIOR FITTINGS
•The cigar lighter gets extremely hot. Handle it with caution and
do not allow it to be used by children to avoid the risk of fire or
burns. Always check that the cigar lighter has switched off.
•Only accessories with a maximum power of 180 W (maximum
absorption 15 A) can be connected to the socket.
•Never travel with the glove compartment open: it could injure
the passenger in the event of a crash.
•On both sides of the passenger side sun visor there is a label
remembering that it is compulsory to deactivate the airbags if a
rearward facing child restraint system is fitted.
Always comply with the instructions on the label.10) SUNROOF – ELECTRIC SOFT TOP
ELECTRIC WINDOWS
When leaving the car, always remove the key from the ignition
device to avoid the risk of injury to the vehicle occupants due to
accidental operation of these devices: improper use can be
dangerous. Before and during operation, always check that
nobody is exposed to the risk of being injured either directly by
the moving window or through objects getting
caught or hit by it.
11) SOFT TOP
•Keep hands away from the soft top mechanism while opening
and closing the soft top or if the soft top stops in a position before
the cycle is completed to prevent damage and injury.
•Keep children away from the area in which the top is folding
during opening or closing operations.
12) DOORS
Before opening a door, ensure that you can do it in conditions of
safety. Open the doors only when the vehicle is stationary.
13) LUGGAGE COMPARTMENT
•Never exceed the maximum allowed load in the luggage
compartment, see chapter “Technical specifications”. Also make
sure that the objects you place in the luggage compartment have
been properly secured, to avoid them from being thrown forward
consequent to sudden braking and injuring your passengers.
•Do not drive with the tailgate open as exhaust fumes may enter
the vehicle.
•If you are travelling in areas with few filling stations and you
want to transport fuel in a spare tank, comply with the law by
using only an approved, suitably secured tank. In the event of a
collision the fire risk is increased all the same.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION AND RECOMMENDATIONS
202
1) KEYS AND CODE CARD
•The electronic components inside the key may be damaged if
the key is subjected to strong shocks. In order to ensure
complete efficiency of the electronic devices inside the keys,
they should never be exposed to direct sunlight.
•All the keys and the CODE card must be handed over to the
new owner when selling the car.
2) SEATS
•The fabric upholstery of the seats has been designed to
withstand long-term wear deriving from normal use of the car.
Some precautions are however required. Avoid prolonged and/or
excessive rubbing against clothing accessories such as metal
buckles and Velcro strips which, by applying a high pressure on
the fabric in a small area, could cause it to break, thereby
damaging the upholstery.
•Before tilting the backrest, remove any objects on the seat
cushion.
3) CLIMATE CONTROL SYSTEM
Never use R12 coolant, which is not compatible with climate
control system components.
4) WINDSCREEN AND REAR WINDOW WIPER
•Do not use the windscreen or rear window wiper to remove
layers of snow or ice from the windscreen. In such conditions,
the windscreen and rear window wiper may be subjected to
excessive stress and the motor cut-out switch, which prevents
operation for a few seconds, may intervene. If operation is not restored, contact a Fiat Dealership.
•Do not operate the windscreen wiper with the blades lifted from
the windscreen:
• Do not activate the rain sensor or the rearscreen wiper when
washing the car in an automatic car wash.
• Make sure that the device is turned off if there is ice on the
windscreen.
5) SUNROOF
•Use the sunroof only at “spoiler” position if a transverse roof
rack is fitted.
•Do not open the sunroof if there is snow or ice on it: you may
damage it.
•Be careful not to hit objects on the storage shelf when you
open the tailgate.
6) SOFT TOP
•Never open the top in presence of snow or ice to prevent
damage.
•Do not place objects on the rear window shelf to prevent
damage while the top is closing.
•Loads may not be secured on the roof.
•Bird droppings must be washed off immediately and thoroughly
as the acid they contain is particularly aggressive.
•Never use high-pressure washing systems.
•When using steam washers or high-pressure water washers,
maintain a suitable distance and do not exceed a maximum
temperature of 60°C.
Damage, alterations and water infiltrations may occur if the
distance is too small.
•If a water jet is used, direct away from the edges of the fabric
and the rear window frame to prevent water infiltrations.
