Every 1,000 km or before long
journeys, check and, if necessary, top
up the following:
❒ engine coolant fluid level;
❒ brake fluid level;
❒ windscreen washer fluid level;
❒ tyre inflation pressure and condition;
❒ operation of lighting system
(headlights, direction indicators,
hazard warning lights, etc.);
❒ operation of the windscreen
wiper/washer system, position and
wear of the windscreen and rear
window wiper blades.
Every 3,000 km check and top up if
required: engine oil level.
You are advised to use PETRONAS
LUBRICANTS products, which have
been designed and produced
specifically for Fiat cars (see table
“Capacities” in the “Technical
specifications” section).
DEMANDING USE
OF THE CAR
If the vehicle is mainly used in one of
the following particularly harsh
conditions:
❒ trailer or caravan towing;
❒ dusty roads;
❒ short repeated distances (less than
7-8 km) and with external
temperatures below zero;
❒ engine often idling or driving long
distances at low speeds or long
periods of inactivity;
perform the following inspections more
frequently than shown on the
Scheduled Servicing Plan:
❒ check front disk brake pad
conditions and wear;
❒ Check cleanliness of bonnet and
luggage compartment locks,
cleanliness and lubrication of
linkage;❒ sight inspect the conditions of:
engine, gearbox, transmission,
pipes and hoses (exhaust -
fuel - brakes), rubber parts
(boots, sleeves, bushes, etc.);
❒ check battery charge and battery
fluid level (electrolyte);
❒ visually check the various drive belt
conditions;
❒ check and, if necessary, change
engine oil and replace oil filter;
❒ check pollen filter and replace it, if
required;
❒ check air cleaner and replace it, if
required.

163
The instructions for good preservation
follow below:
❒ 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 opacity of the paint.
❒ Do not use pure windscreen washer
fluid for cleaning the front
windscreen and rear screen; dilute it
by at least 50% in water.
Some versions are fitted with exclusive
decorations on the door mirror covers;
do not use pressurised or high-
temperature jets of water when washing
them.Versions with stickers or wrapping
4)
To correctly clean and wash the car,
proceed as follows:
❒ 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.
❒ If high pressure jets or cleaners are
used to wash the vehicle, hold at
least 40 cm away from the
bodywork to avoid damage or
alteration. It should be remembered
that the build up of water can
damage the car over a period of
time;
❒ Wash the bodywork 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.
Dry the less visible parts with special
care, 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
parked in the sun.
Exterior plastic parts must be cleaned
in the same way as the rest of the
vehicle.
Where possible, do not park under
trees; the resinous substances that
many species release give the paint a
dull appearance and increase the
possibility of triggering rusting
processes.
IMPORTANT Bird droppings must be
washed off immediately and thoroughly
as the acid they contain is particularly
aggressive.

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.
