WARNING
If the car will be unused for an extended period of time in extremely cold
weather conditions, remove the battery andstore it in a heated area to prevent it fromfreezing.
WARNING
Always wear appropriate goggles whenworking on or near the battery.
WHEELS AND TYRESBefore long trips, and every two weeks, check thetyre and space-saver wheel inflation pressure (forversions/markets, where provided). Check the tyreswhen cold. While driving the car, the pressure increases under standard conditions: for the correct tyre inflationpressure, see "Wheels" paragraph in the "Technicalspecifications" chapter. Incorrect pressure causes abnormal tyre wear fig. 178: A normal pressure: tread evenly worn;B low pressure: tread particularly worn at the edges;C high pressure: tread particularly worn in the
centre.fig. 178

The tyres must be replaced when the tread is less than 1.6 mm thick. In any case, follow the lawsin force in the country where you are driving.

IMPORTANT Take the following precautions to prevent damage to the tyres: ❒
avoid braking suddenly, racing starts and violent impact against the curb, potholes or otherobstacles and driving for extended periods onuneven road surfaces;
❒
periodically check that the tyres have no cuts inthe side wall, abnormal swelling or irregular tyrewear;
❒
avoid travelling with the car overloaded. If youhave a puncture, stop immediately and change thetyre;
❒
tyres age even if they are not used much. Cracks inthe tread rubber and at the sides are a sign ofageing. In any case, if the tyres have been on thecar for over 6 years, they should be checkedby specialised personnel. Also remember to checkthe space-saver wheel very carefully (forversions/markets, where provided);
❒
change the position of the tyres every 10-15thousand kilometres, keeping them on the sameside of the car to avoid inverting the rotationdirection;
❒
In the case of replacement, always fit new tyres,avoiding those of dubious origin;
❒
if a tyre is changed, also change the inflation valve.
WARNING
The road holding qualities of the caralso depend on the correct inflation
pressure of the tyres.
WARNING
If the pressure is too low the tyreoverheats and can be seriously
damaged.

WARNING
Do not cross switch the tyres, moving
them from the right of the car to the
left and vice versa.WARNING
Never submit alloy rims to repainting
treatments requiring the use of
temperatures exceeding 150°C.The mechanical
properties of the wheels could be impaired.
WINDSCREEN/REAR WINDOW
WIPERBLADES
Periodically clean the rubber part using special
products; TUTELA PROFESSIONAL SC 35 is
recommended.
Replace the blades if the rubber edge is deformed or
worn. In any case, it is advisable to replace them
approximately once a year. A few simple precautions
can reduce the possibility of damage to the blades:
❒ if the temperature falls below zero, make sure that
ice has not frozen the rubber against the glass. Use
an antifreeze product to release it if required;
❒ remove any snow from the glass: in addition to
protecting the blades, this prevents effort on
the motor and overheating;
❒ do not operate the windscreen/rear window
wipers on dry glass.
WARNING
Driving with worn windscreen/rear
window wiper blades is a serious hazard,
because visibility is reduced in bad weather.

BODYWORKPROTECTION FROM ATMOSPHERIC
AGENTS
The main causes of corrosion are the following:
❒atmospheric pollution
❒ salty air and humidity (coastal areas, or hot humid
climates);
❒ seasonal environmental conditions.
The abrasive action of wind-borne atmospheric dust
and sand, as well as mud and gravel raised by other
vehicles is also not to be underestimated.
On your car, Fiat has adopted the best manufacturing
technologies to effectively protect the bodywork
against corrosion. These are the most important:
❒
Painting products and systems which give the car
particular resistance to corrosion and abrasion;
❒ Use of galvanised (or pretreated) steel sheets, with
high resistance to corrosion;
❒ spraying the underbody, engine compartment,
wheel arch interiors and other parts with highly
protective wax products;
❒ spraying of plastic parts, with a protective function
in the more exposed points: underdoor, inner
wing, edges, etc;
❒ Use of “open” boxed sections to prevent
condensation and pockets of moisture from
triggering rust inside.
BODY AND UNDERBODY WARRANTY
Your car is covered by warranty against perforation
due to rust of any original element of the structure
or body.
For the general terms of this warranty, refer to the
Warranty Booklet.

These components must be cleaned with mild soap
and water only. Never use alcohol or alcohol-based
products.
Read the product label carefully before using specific
products for cleaning the interiors: make sure the
product does not contain alcohol or alcohol-based
substances.
If, when cleaning the windscreen with special
products, window cleaner accidentally drips onto the
leather of the steering wheel/gear lever knob/hand
brake, wipe away immediately and then wash the
affected area with mild soap and water.IMPORTANT Be careful when using a steering wheel
lock device, where applicable, to avoid damaging
the leather upholstery by rubbing.
