IMPORTANT Before switching the device on, check
that the fuel level is higher than the reserve level.
Otherwise the device could lock and require the
assistance of a Fiat Dealership.
❒Always turn off the heater when refuelling and near
service stations to avoid the risk of explosion or fire
hazards.
❒Do not park the vehicle on inflammable material
such as paper, grass or dry leaves: fire hazard!
❒The temperature near the heater should not exceed
120 °C (e.g. during stove painting in a body shop).
The electronic control unit components may be
damaged at higher temperatures.
❒Whilst the heater is operating with the engine
switched off, it absorbs energy from the battery; the
engine should therefore be left running for a while to
make sure that the battery is properly recharged.
❒To check the coolant level, follow the instructions in
the “Vehicle maintenance” chapter in the “Engine
coolant system fluid” paragraph. The water in the
heating circuit must contain a minimum percentage
of 10% antifreeze.
❒For maintenance and repairs, only contact Fiat
Dealerships and only use genuine spare parts.

MAINTENANCE
Have the additional heater checked regularly at a Fiat
Dealership (and always at the start of every winter).
This will guarantee safe and economic operation of the
heater as well as a long duration.
ADDITIONAL REAR HEATING
(Panorama and Combi)
(for versions/markets, where provided)
The Panorama and Combi versions have a main heating
system plus an additional one (on request) with the
controls in the roof lining above the second row of
seats, fig. 67.

Replacing the windscreen wiper blades fig. 234
Proceed as follows:

that it forms an angle of 90° with the arm;
❒remove the press-fitted blade B from arm A;
❒insert the new blade making sure it is locked.

If the jet of fluid is inadequate, firstly check that there is
fluid in the reservoir (see “Checking fluid levels” in this
section).
WINDSCREEN WIPER
BLADES
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 all cases, 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 stuck to the
windscreen at sub-zero temperatures. 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 wipers on dry glass.
Driving with worn wiper blades is
a serious hazard, because visibility is
reduced in bad weather.
