FAILURE INDICATIONS
Any failure of the electric power steering
system is indicated by instrument panel
warning light
gcoming on together with
a message on the multifunction display (for
versions/markets, where provided) (see
section “Warning lights and messages”).
In the event of electric power steering sys-
tem failure, the car can be driven with me-
chanical steering.
IMPORTANT In some circumstances, fac-
tors independent of the electric power
steering could cause the
gwarning light
in the instrument panel to come on.
In this case, stop the car immediately,
switch off the engine for about 20 seconds
and then restart the car. If the warning
light
gis still on, along with the message
on the multifunction display (for ver-
sions/markets, where provided), contact
a Fiat Dealership.IMPORTANT The steering may become
stiffer during parking manoeuvres that re-
quire a lot of turns of the wheel. This is
normal and is caused by the electric con-
trol motor overheating protection system.
No repairs are needed. The power steer-
ing system will start working properly
again the next time the car is used.
It is absolutely forbidden to
carry out any after-market
operation involving steering system or
steering column modifications (e.g. in-
stallation of anti-theft device) that
could badly affect performance and
safety, invalidate the warranty and
also result in the car failing to com-
ply with regulations.
WARNING
Before servicing the car,
switch off the engine and re-
move the key from the ignition to ac-
tivate the steering lock. This is espe-
cially important when the car wheels
are not touching the ground. If this
is not possible (for example if the key
needs to be turned to MAR or the en-
gine must be running), remove the
main fuse that protects the electric
power steering.

PRETENSIONERS
To increase the efficiency of the seat belts,
the car is fitted with front pretensioners.
These devices, in the event of a violent
crash, rewind the seat belts by a few cen-
timetres. In this way, they ensure that the
seat belt adheres perfectly to the wearer
before the restraining action begins.
The seat belt reel locks to indicate that the
pretensioners have intervened; the seat
belt cannot be drawn back up even when
guiding it manually.
IMPORTANT To obtain the highest de-
gree of protection from the action of the
pretensioning device, wear the seat belt
tight to the chest and pelvis.
A slight amount of smoke may be detect-
ed during operation of the pretensioners.
This smoke is not harmful and does not
indicate a fire.
The pretensioner does not require any
maintenance or lubrication.
Anything that modifies its original condi-
tions invalidates its efficiency.
If, due to unusual natural events (floods,
sea storms, etc.), the device has been
affected by water and mud, it must be
replaced.LOAD LIMITERS
To increase passenger safety, the front
seat belt reels contain a load limiter which
controls the force acting on the chest and
shoulders during the belt restraining ac-
tion in the event of a head-on collision.

The pretensioner can be
used only once. Go to a Fiat
Dealership to have it replaced after
it has been deployed. Consult the
card in the glove box to check the sta-
tus of the pretensioners. Go to a Fiat
Dealership to have the device re-
placed when the expiration date
approaches.
WARNING
Operations which lead to
knocks, vibrations or lo-
calised heating (over 100 °C
for a maximum of 6 hours) in
the area around the pretensioners may
cause damage or trigger them. These
devices are not affected by vibrations
caused by irregularities of the road sur-
face or low obstacles such as kerbs,
etc. Contact a Fiat Dealership for any
assistance.

BLADES
Regularly clean the rubber part using ap-
propriate products; TUTELA PRO-
FESSIONAL SC35is recommended.
Replace the blades if the rubber edge is
misshapen or worn. In any event, it is ad-
visable 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
frozen to the windscreen in sub-zero
temperatures. Use an antifreeze prod-
uct to release it if required;
❒remove any snow from the glass: in ad-
dition to protecting the blades, this pre-
vents the electric motor from over-
heating;
❒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.
WARNING
RUBBER TUBES
As far as the brake system and fuel rubber
hoses are concerned, stick closely to the
“Scheduled Servicing Plan” in this section.
Ozone, high temperatures and a pro-
longed lack of fluid in the system may
cause hardening and cracking of the tubes,
which could result in leaks. Careful in-
spections are therefore necessary.If the pressure is too low, the
tyre will overheat and could
be seriously damaged.
WARNING
Avoid switching the tyres
from the right side of the ve-
hicle to the left side and vice versa.
WARNING
Do not re-spray alloy wheel
rims at temperatures higher
than 150 °C. The mechanical char-
acteristics of the wheels may be
compromised.

SERVICE
AND CARE
Standard upkeep of the paintwork consists
of washing the vehicle: the frequency de-
pends on the conditions and environment
where the vehicle is used. For example, it
is advisable to wash the car more often in
areas with high atmospheric pollution or
on gritted roads.
To wash the car properly, proceed as fol-
lows:
❒if taking your car through an automat-
ic car wash, remove the aerial from the
roof;
❒wash the body using a low-pressure jet
of water;
❒use a sponge to wipe a slightly soapy so-
lution over the bodywork, frequently
rinsing the sponge;
❒rinse with plenty of water and dry with
a jet of air or a chamois leather.
Take particular care when drying the less
visible parts, such as the door, bonnet and
headlight frames, where water can stagnate
more easily. It is a good idea to leave the
car in the open for a while after washing
it to give time for the water to evaporate.Do not wash the car after it has been left
in the sun or with the bonnet hot: this may
alter the shine of the paintwork.
Exterior plastic parts must be cleaned in
the same way as the rest of the car.
Where possible, do not park under trees;
the resinous substances that fall off many
species give the paint a dull appearance
and increase the possibility of triggering
rust processes.
IMPORTANT Bird droppings should be
washed off immediately and thoroughly
as the acid they contain is particularly
aggressive.Detergents pollute water. The
vehicle should be washed only
in areas equipped for collect-
ing and purifying the liquids
used in the washing process.
Windows
Use specific detergents to clean the win-
dows.
Also use clean cloths to avoid scratching
the glass or altering the transparency.
IMPORTANT Wipe the rear window
gently with a cloth in the direction of the
filaments to avoid damaging the heating
device.
Engine compartment
Wash the engine compartment thor-
oughly at the end of every winter. Be care-
ful not to direct the jet of water onto elec-
tronic 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 Washing should take place
with a cold engine and with the key at
STOP. After the wash, make sure that
the various protective devices (e.g. rubber
caps and guards) have not been removed
or damaged.
Front headlights
IMPORTANT Never use aromatic sub-
stances (e.g. petrol) or ketenes (e.g. ace-
tone) for cleaning the plastic lenses of the
front headlights.
