IMPORTANT If the battery remains with the charge
below 50% for a long time it becomes damaged
through sulphation and its starting capacity is
reduced.
The battery is also more prone to the risk of freezing
(at temperatures as high as -10°C).
Refer to the paragraph "Vehicle inactivity" in "Starting
and driving" if the vehicle 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 the Fiat Dealership
whose qualified personnel, in addition to suggesting
the most suitable devices, will evaluate the overall
electric absorption, checking whether the vehicle
electric system is capable of withstanding the load
required, or whether it should be integrated with
a more powerful battery.
Since these devices continue to use electricity even
when the engine is off, they gradually run down
the battery.
WHEELS AND TYRESCheck the pressure of each tyre, including the spare,
every two weeks and before long journeys. The
pressure should be checked with the tyre rested and
cold.
It is normal for the pressure to increase when the
vehicle is used; for the correct tyre inflation
pressure, see “Wheels” in the “Technical
specifications” section.
Incorrect pressure causes abnormal tyre wear
fig. 173:A
normal pressure: tread evenly worn.
Blow pressure: tread particularly worn at the edges.C
high pressure: tread particularly worn in the
centre.
The tyres must be replaced when the tread is less
than 1.6 mm thick. In all cases, follow the laws in
force in the country where you are driving.fig. 173

SPRAY NOZZLES
If the jet is not coming out, firstly check that there is
fluid in the windscreen/rear window reservoir (for
versions/markets where provided) (see “Checking
levels” in this section).
Then check that the nozzle holes are not clogged;
use a needle to unblock them if necessary.
Windscreen (washer)
The window washer jets are fixed. The nozzle
holders are located under the bonnet (see fig. 175).
Rear window (washer)
The rear window washer jets are fixed. The nozzle
holder is located above the rear window (see ).
BODYPROTECTION FROM ATMOSPHERIC
ELEMENTS
The main causes of corrosion are the following:
❒atmospheric pollution
❒salty air and humidity (coastal areas, or hot humid
climates)
❒seasonal environment 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.
Fiat used the best manufacturing technologies on
your vehicle to effectively protect the bodywork
against corrosion.
These are the most important:
❒painting products and systems which give the
vehicle particular resistance to corrosion and
abrasion;
❒use of galvanised (or pre-treated) steel sheets,
with high resistance to corrosion;
❒spraying the underbody, engine compartment,
wheelhouse internal parts and other parts with
highly protective wax products;

Windows
Use specific detergents to clean the windows. 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
At the end of each winter, thoroughly wash the
engine compartment, taking care to avoid spraying
the water jet directly onto the electronic control
units and the relay/fuse box on the left side of the
engine compartment (as you look from behind
the wheel). Have this operation performed at a
specialist garage.
IMPORTANT The washing should take place with the
engine cold and the ignition key in the STOP
position. 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 substances (e.g.
petrol) or ketenes (e.g. acetone) for cleaning the
plastic lenses of the front headlights.
INTERIORSCheck regularly that water is not trapped under the
mats (from dripping off shoes, umbrellas, etc.) which
could cause the metal to rust.
WARNING
Never use flammable products, such as
petroleum ether or modified petrol,
to clean the inside of the vehicle.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:
these could explode. Aerosol cans must
not be exposed to temperatures of more than
50°C .When the vehicle is exposed to sunlight ,
the temperature inside can greatly exceed
this value.

with at least ACEA C2 performance are acceptable; however, in this case optimum engine performance is not
guaranteed and the lubricants should be replaced with recommended products as soon as possible at a Fiat
Dealership.
The use of products with features lower than ACEA C2 could cause engine damage not covered by warranty.
In particularly harsh climatic conditions, ask the Fiat Dealer Network for advice on the appropriate
