IMPORTANT - Engine oil
Should prevailing use of the car be under one of the
following specially heavy conditions:
❒trailer or caravan towing;
❒dusty roads;
❒short distances (less than 7-8 km) repeated and
with external temperatures below zero;
❒frequently idling engines or long distance low speed
driving (e.g. taxis or door-to-door deliveries) or in
case of a long term inactivity;
replace engine oil more frequently than required on
“Service schedule”.
IMPORTANT - Air cleaner
If the car is used on dusty roads change the air cleaner
more frequently than the indications in the “Service
schedule”.
If in doubt as to how often the engine oil and air
cleaner should be changed according to how you use
the car, contact a Fiat Dealership.IMPORTANT - Pollen filter
If the vehicle is used frequently in dusty or heavily
polluted environments it is advisable to replace the
filtering element more frequently; in particular it
should be replaced if a reduction of the amount of air
admitted to the passenger compartment is noted.
IMPORTANT - Diesel filter
The possibility of topping up with diesel fuel not
complying with EN590 European Norm might make it
necessary to replace the filter more frequently than
indicated in the “Service schedule”.

DIESEL FUEL FILTER
(“green filter”)
DRAINING THE CONDENSE (diesel versions)
IMPORTANT The presence of water in the fuel circuit
may cause serious damage to the entire injection
system and cause irregular engine operation. If the
warning light
cturns on (or on certain versions, adedicated message is shown on the reconfigurable
multifunction display) contact a Fiat Dealership as soon
as possible to have the bleeding operation carried out.

WARNINGThe presence of water in the fuel circuit may cause serious damage to the entire
injection system and cause irregular engine operation. If the warning light
cturns
on (or on certain versions, a dedicated message is shown on the reconfigurable
multifunction display) contact a Fiat Dealership as soon as possible to have the
bleeding operation carried out. Should the above indications take place after
refuelling, water has probably been poured into the tank: turn the engine off
immediately and contact a Fiat Dealership.

RUBBER HOSES
As far as the brake system and fuel rubber hoses are
concerned, carefully follow the “Service schedule” in
this section.
Indeed ozone, high temperatures and prolonged lack
of fluid in the system may cause hardening and
cracking of the hoses, with possible leaks. Careful
control is therefore necessary.
WINDSCREEN/
REAR WINDOW WIPERS
BLADES
Periodically clean the rubber part using special
products; TUTELA PROFESSIONAL SC 35 is
recommended.
If the rubber blades are bent or worn they should be
replaced. In any case they should be changed once a
year.
A few simple notions can reduce the possibility of
damage to the blades:
❒if the temperature fall below zero, make sure that
ice has not frozen the rubber against glass. If
necessary, thaw using an antifreeze product;
❒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 and rear window
wipers on dry glass.
