If the vehicle must remain unused for
a long time at very low temperatures,
remove the battery and take it to a warm
place to avoid freezing.
USEFUL ADVICE FOR EXTENDING
THE LIFE OF YOUR BATTERY
To avoid draining your battery and make it last longer,
observe the following instructions:
❒when you park the vehicle, ensure that the doors,
tailgate and bonnet are closed properly to avoid the
ceiling lights remain on;
❒the ceiling lights must be off. The vehicle is however
provided with an automatic system for switching off
internal lights;
❒do not keep accessories (e.g. sound system, hazard
warning lights, etc...) switched on for a long time
when the engine is not running;
❒before performing any operation on the electrical
system, disconnect the negative battery cable;
❒battery terminals should always be completely
tightened.
IMPORTANT If the charge level remains under 50% for
a long time, the battery is damaged by sulphation,
reducing its capacity and starting attitude.The battery will also be more at risk of freezing (this can
happen as early as −10°C). Refer to the paragraph
“Vehicle inactivity” in “Starting and driving” if the car is
left parked for a long time.
If, after buying the vehicle, you want to install electric
accessories which require permanent electric supply
(alarm, etc.) contact a Fiat Dealership whose qualified
personnel, in addition to suggesting the most suitable
devices from the Lineaccessori Fiat, will evaluate the
overall electric absorption, checking whether the
vehicle’s electrical system is capable of withstanding the
load required, or whether it should be integrated with
a more powerful battery.
Since these devices continue absorbing energy even
when the ignition key is off, they gradually run down the
battery.
IMPORTANT If a tachograph is fitted, if the vehicle is
parked for a long period of 5 days, it is advisable to
disconnect the negative battery terminal to maintain its
charge.
If the vehicle is equipped with a battery disconnection
function (disconnector), see the description of the
procedure in the „Controls“ paragraph in the
„Dashboard and controls“ section.

BODYWORK
PROTECTION FROM ATMOSPHERIC
AGENTS
The main causes of corrosion are: atmospheric
pollution, salty air and humidity (coastal areas, or hot
humid climates) and seasonal environmental conditions.
The abrasive action of wind-borne atmospheric dust and
sand, as well as mud and gravel raised by other cars is
also not to be underestimated. On your vehicle, Fiat has
implemented the best manufacturing technologies to
effectively protect the bodywork against corrosion.
These include:
❒painting products and systems which give the vehicle
particular resistance to corrosion and abrasion;
❒use of galvanised (or pretreated) steel sheets, with
high resistance to corrosion;
❒spraying the underbody, engine compartment,
internal wheel arches and other parts with highly
protective wax products;
❒spraying of protective plastic material in the more
exposed points: underdoor, inner mudguard parts,
edges, etc...;
❒Use of “open” boxed sections to prevent
condensation and pockets of moisture which could
cause rust to form inside. Then check that the nozzle holes are not clogged, if
necessary using a needle.
The washer jets should be positioned by adjusting the
angle of the sprays using a small straight-headed
screwdriver.
The jets must be directed at about
1/3of the height from
the window upper edge.
HEADLAMP WASHERS
Check the correct condition and cleanliness of nozzles
at regular intervals.
The headlamp washers come on automatically when the
windscreen washer is operated with the dipped
headlamps on.

INTERIORS
Periodically check that water is not trapped under the
mats (due to water dripping off shoes, umbrellas, etc.)
which could cause oxidisation of the sheet metal.
Detergents pollute the environment.
The vehicle should be washed in areas
equipped for collecting and purifying the
liquid used in the washing process.
Glasses
To clean glasses, use specific window cleaner products.
Also use clean cloths to avoid scratching the glass or
damaging the transparency.
IMPORTANT Wipe the rear window inside gently with
a cloth in the direction of the filaments to avoid
damaging the heating device.
Engine compartment
Wash the engine compartment thoroughly at the end of
every winter. Be careful not to direct the jet of water
onto electronic control units. Adequately protect the
upper air vents to prevent damage to the windscreen
wiper motor. Have this operation performed at a
specialised workshop.
IMPORTANT The washing should take place with the
engine cold and the ignition key in the STOP position.
After the washing operation, make sure that the various
protections (e.g. rubber caps and guards) have not been
removed or damaged.
Front headlights
IMPORTANT Never use aromatic substances (e.g.:
petrol) or ketones (e.g.: acetone) for cleaning the front
headlight plastic lenses.
Never use flammable products, such as
petrol, ether or rectified petrol, to clean
the vehicle interior. The electrostatic charges
which are generated by rubbing during the
cleaning operation may cause a fire.
WARNING
Do not keep aerosol cans in the vehicle:
risk of explosion Aerosol cans must not
be exposed to a temperature exceeding 50 °C.
When the vehicle is exposed to sunlight, the
internal temperature can greatly exceed this
value.
