Check that the liquid contained in the
tank is at the maximum level. This
operation must be carried out with the
vehicle level and with the engine off and
cold.
Proceed as follows:
❒remove the plastic cover A fig. 240,
rotating the locking screws B fig.
240 counter-clockwise, to access the
filler of the reservoir;
❒check that the fluid level is up to the
MAX mark on the dipstick attached
to the fuel cap F fig. 237 - fig. 238
- fig. 239 (use the level shown on the
20°C side of the dipstick to check
when cold).If the level of the fluid in the tank is
lower than the specified level, top up
using only one of the products
indicated in the "Fluid and lubricants"
table in the "Technical specifications"
section, proceeding as follows:
❒Start the engine and wait for the fluid
level in the tank to stabilise.
❒With the engine running, turn the
steering wheel from right to left
fully several times.
❒Top up the fuel to the MAX level and
then retighten the cap.WINDSCREEN/REAR
WINDOW WASHER FLUID
178) 179)
To add fluid:
❒remove cap D fig. 237 - fig. 238 - fig.
239, pulling the retaining tooth
outward;
❒pull the opening of the pipe upwards
to remove the telescopic funnel fig.
241.
IMPORTANT Before opening the cap,
make sure it is correctly oriented (as
illustrated in fig. 241) to prevent it from
being damaged and interfering with
the adjacent mechanical parts.
Otherwise, turn it until it reaches the
correct position.
Fill according to the following
instructions:
Use a mixture of water and TUTELA
PROFESSIONAL SC 35, in the
following concentrations:
30% TUTELA PROFESSIONAL SC 35
and 70% water in summer.
50% TUTELA PROFESSIONAL SC 35
and 50% water in winter.
At temperatures below –20°C, use
undiluted TUTELA PROFESSIONAL SC
35 fluid.

50) Do not press the power steering
end of travel lock for longer than 8
consecutive seconds with the
engine running because it will
cause noise and risk damaging
the system.
WARNING
175) Never smoke when performing
operations in the engine
compartment. Flammable gases
and fumes may be present and
risk igniting.
176) Be very careful when working in
the engine compartment when
the engine is hot: you may get
burned. Remember that the fan
may start up if the engine is hot:
this could injure you. Scarves, ties
and other loose clothing might
be pulled by moving parts.
177) The cooling system is
pressurised. If necessary, only
replace the plug with another
original one or the operation of
the system may be adversely
affected. Do not remove the
reservoir plug when the engine is
hot: risk of burns.178) Do not travel with the
windscreen washer reservoir
empty: the windscreen washer is
essential for improving visibility.
179) Some commercial windscreen
washer additives are flammable.
The engine compartment contains
hot parts which could start a fire
on contact.
180) Do not release the cap from
the extension without previously
extracting the system using the
ring.
181) 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.
182) 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.
183) 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.

Replacing the
windscreen wiper
blades
53)
Proceed as follows:
❒raise the wiper arm, press tab A fig.
245 of the attachment spring and
remove the blade from the arm;
❒fit the new blade, inserting the tab
into the special slot in the arm,
making sure that it is locked;
❒lower the wiper arm on the
windscreen.SPRAY NOZZLES
Windscreen (washer)
fig. 246
If the jet of fluid is inadequate, firstly
check that there is fluid in the reservoir:
(see "Checking levels" in this chapter).
Then check that the nozzle holes are
not clogged; use a needle to unblock
them if necessary.
The washer jets should be positioned
by adjusting the angle of the sprays
using a small straight-headed
screwdriver.
The jets should be directed at about a
third of the height from the top edge
of the windscreen.HEADLIGHT WASHERS
Check the correct condition and
cleanliness of nozzles at regular
intervals.
The headlight washers come on
automatically when the windscreen
washer is operated with the low beams
on.
WARNING
192) Driving with worn windscreen
wiper blades is a serious hazard,
because visibility is reduced in
bad weather conditions.
IMPORTANT
53) Do not operate the windscreen
wiper with the blades lifted from
the windscreen.
