SERVICING AND MAINTENANCE

188) Do not travel with the
windscreen washer reservoir
empty: the windscreen washer is
essential for improving visibility.
189) Some commercial windscreen
washer additives are flammable.
The engine compartment contains
hot parts which could start a fire
on contact.
190) Do not release the cap from
the extension without previously
extracting the system using the
ring.
191) Brake fluid is poisonous and
highly corrosive. In the event of
accidental contact, immediately
wash the affected parts with
water and mild soap. Then rinse
thoroughly. Call a doctor
immediately if swallowed.
192) The
symbol on the container
indicates a synthetic brake fluid,
which is different from a mineral
fluid. Using a mineral fluid will
damage the special rubber seals
of the braking system beyond
repair.
193) Prevent power steering fluid
from coming into contact with
hot engine parts: it is flammable.
IMPORTANT
3) Power steering fluid consumption
is extremely low; if another top-up
is required after only a short
period of time, have the system
checked for leaks at a Fiat
Dealership.
AIR CLEANER/
POLLEN FILTER
Have the air cleaner replaced by a Fiat
Dealership.
AIR CLEANER – DUSTY
ROADS
(for versions/markets, where provided)
The air cleaner for dusty areas is
equipped with a visual filter block
indication device A fig. 247. Check the
reading of the blockage sensor at
intervals (Refer to the "Service
Schedule" in the "Maintenance and
care" section).

SERVICING AND MAINTENANCE

When the setting is reached the
indicator B fig. 248 is triggered,
changing to red, even with the engine
off. To reset the indicator, clean/replace
the cartridge as on normal versions
and then reset the indicator by pressing
the button C fig. 248.
IMPORTANT To blow the filter use an
air jet, do not use water or liquid
detergents.
Since this cleaner is specific to versions
designed for dusty areas, it is
advisable to contact a Fiat Dealership
to change the cleaner.POLLEN FILTER
Pollen filter replacement must be
carried out at a Fiat Dealership.BATTERY
The battery is “limited maintenance”
type: under normal conditions of use,
the electrolyte does not need topping
up with distilled water.
It does, however, need to be checked
periodically at a Fiat Dealership or
by specialist personnel to make sure it
is working correctly.
The battery is located inside the
passenger compartment, in front of the
pedals. Remove the protective cover
to gain access to it.
194) 195)
REPLACING THE
BATTERY
If required, replace the battery with an
original spare part with the same
specifications.
If a battery with different specifications
is fitted, the service intervals given in
the “Scheduled Servicing Plan” will no
longer be valid.
Follow the battery manufacturer's
instructions for maintenance.
