SPARK PLUGS
(Gasoline engine)
For Nickel spark plugs (traditional type):
You should inspect spark plugs periodi-
cally for carbon deposits. When carbon
accumulates on a spark plug, a strong
spark may not be produced. Remove car-
bon deposits with a wire or pin and adjust
the spark plug gap.
To access the spark plugs:
❒Remove the air cleaner case. Refer to
“Air Cleaner” in this section.
❒If necessary, disconnect the coupler (1)
while pushing the release lever.
❒Remove the ignitor bolts.
❒Pull the spark plug boots out.
NOTE When installation, make sure the
wires, couplers, sealing rubber of air clean-
er assy and washers, are correctly re-
turned in place.

BULB REPLACEMENT
The fuses are also located under the dri-
ver’s side of the dashboard. Remove the
fuse box cover by pulling it off. The am-
perage of each fuse is shown on the top
of the fuse box cover.
Always be sure to replace a
blown fuse with a fuse of the
correct amperage. Never use a sub-
stitute such as aluminum foil or wire
to replace a blown fuse. If you re-
place a fuse and the new one blows
in a short period of time, you may
have a major electrical problem.
Have your vehicle inspected imme-
diately by your Fiat Dealership.
WARNING

OK
BLOWN
– Light bulbs can be hot
enough to burn your finger
right after being turned off. This is
true especially for halogen headlight
bulbs. Replace the bulbs after they
become cool enough.
– The headlight bulbs are filled with
pressurized halogen gas. They can
burst and injure you if they are hit or
dropped. Handle them carefully.
WARNING
IMPORTANT The oils from your skin may
cause a halogen bulb to overheat and burst
when the lights are on. Grasp a new bulb
with a clean cloth.
IMPORTANT Frequent replacement of a
bulb indicates the need for an inspection
of the electrical system. This should be
carried out by your Fiat Dealership.CENTER INTERIOR LIGHT
(for versions/markets, where provided)
Pull down the lens by using a plane screw
driver covered with a soft cloth as shown.
To install it, simply push it back in.
The bulb can be removed by simply pulling
it out. When replacing the bulb, make sure
that the contact springs are holding the
bulb securely.

1.Retainer
❒If the new blade is provided without the
two metal retainers, move them from
the old blade to the new one.
❒Install the new blade in the reverse or-
der of removal.
IMPORTANT Make sure the blade is
properly retained by all the hooks.
❒Reinstall wiper frame to arm in the re-
verse order of removal.
AIR CONDITIONING
SYSTEM
If you do not use the air conditioner for
a long period, such as during winter, it may
not give the best performance when you
start using it again. To help maintain op-
timum performance and durability of your
air conditioner, it needs to be run peri-
odically.Operate the air conditioner at least once
a month for one minute with the engine
idling. This circulates the refrigerant and
oil and helps protect the internal compo-
nents.

IF THE ENGINE
OVERHEATS
The engine could overheat temporarily
under severe driving conditions. If the en-
gine coolant temperature gauge indicates
overheating during driving:
❒Turn off the air conditioner, if equipped.
❒Take the vehicle to a safe place and
park.
❒Let the engine run at the normal idle
speed for a few minutes until the indi-
cator is within the normal, acceptable
temperature range between “H” and
“C”.
IF THE ENGINE IS
FLOODED
If the engine is flooded with gasoline, it
may be hard to start. If this happens, press
the accelerator pedal all the way to the
floor and hold it there while cranking the
engine. (Do not operate the starter mo-
tor for more than 15 seconds).
If you see or hear escaping
steam, stop the vehicle in a
safe place and immediately turn off
the engine to let it cool. Do not open
the hood when steam is present.
When the steam can no longer be
seen or heard, open the hood to see
if the coolant is still boiling. If it is, you
must wait until it stops boiling before
you proceed.
WARNING
IF THE STARTER DOES
NOT OPERATE
❒Try turning the ignition switch to the
“START” position with the headlights
turned on to determine the battery
condition. If the headlights go exces-
sively dim or go off, it usually means
that either the battery is flat or the bat-
tery terminal contact is poor. Recharge
the battery or correct battery terminal
contact as necessary.
❒If the headlights remain bright, check
the fuses. If the reason for failure of the
starter is not obvious, there may be a
major electrical problem. Have the ve-
hicle inspected by your authorized
Fiat Dealership.

Keep passenger and luggage
compartments clean
Moisture, dirt or mud can accumulate un-
der the floor mats and may cause corro-
sion.
Occasionally, check under these mats to
ensure that this area is clean and dry. More
frequent checks are necessary if the vehi-
cle is used off road or in wet weather.
Certain cargos such as chemicals, fertiliz-
ers, cleaners, salts, etc. are extremely cor-
rosive by nature. These products should
be transported in sealed containers. If a
spill or leak does occur, clean and dry the
area immediately.Store your vehicle in a dry,
well- ventilated area
Do not park your vehicle in a damp, poor-
ly ventilated area. If you often wash your
vehicle in the garage or if you frequently
drive it in when wet, your garage may be
damp. The high humidity in the garage may
cause or accelerate corrosion. A wet ve-
hicle may corrode even in a heated garage
if the ventilation is poor. Remove foreign material deposits
Foreign material such as salts, chemicals,
road oil or tar, tree sap, bird droppings
and industrial fall-out may damage the fin-
ish of your vehicle if it is left on painted
surfaces. Remove these types of deposits
as quickly as possible. If these deposits are
difficult to wash off, an additional cleaner
may be required. Be sure that any clean-
er you use is not harmful to painted sur-
faces and is specifically intended for your
purposes. Follow the manufacturer’s di-
rections when using these special clean-
ers.
Repair finish damage
Carefully examine your vehicle for dam-
age to the painted surfaces. Should you
find any chips or scratches in the paint,
touch them up immediately to prevent
corrosion from starting. If the chips or
scratches have gone through to the bare
metal, have a qualified body shop make the
repair.
Do not apply additional un-
dercoating or rust preventive
coating on or around exhaust system
components such as the catalytic
converter, exhaust pipes, etc. A fire
could be started if the undercoating
substance becomes overheated.

Fabric upholstery
Remove loose dirt with a vacuum clean-
er. Using a mild soap solution, rub stained
areas with a clean damp cloth. To remove
soap, rub the areas again with a cloth
dampened with water. Repeat this until
the stain is removed, or use a commercial
fabric cleaner for tougher stains. If you use
a fabric cleaner, carefully follow the man-
ufacturer’s instructions and precautions.
Seat belts
Clean seat belts with a mild soap and wa-
ter. Do not use bleach or dye on the belts.
They may weaken the fabric in the belts.Vinyl floor mats
Ordinary dirt can be removed from vinyl
with water or mild soap. Use a brush to
help loosen dirt. After the dirt is loosened,
rinse the mat thoroughly with water and
dry it in the shade.
Carpets
Remove dirt and soil as much as possible
with a vacuum cleaner. Using a mild soap
solution, rub stained areas with a clean
damp cloth. To remove soap, rub the ar-
eas again with a cloth dampened with wa-
ter. Repeat this until the stain is removed,
or use a commercial carpet cleaner for
tougher stains. If you use a carpet clean-
er, carefully follow the manufacturer’s in-
structions and precautions.
CLEANING THE EXTERIOR
IMPORTANT It is important that your ve-
hicle be kept clean and free from dirt. Fail-
ure to keep your vehicle clean may result
in fading of the paint or corrosion to var-
ious parts of the vehicle body.
VEHICLE CLEANING
When cleaning the interior
or exterior of the vehicle,
NEVER USE flammable solvents such
as lacquer thinners, gasoline, benzene
or cleaning materials such as bleach-
es or strong household detergents.
The materials could cause personal
injury or damage to the vehicle.
WARNING
CLEANING THE INTERIOR
Vinyl upholstery
Prepare a solution of soap or mild deter-
gent mixed with warm water. Apply the
solution to the vinyl with a sponge or soft
cloth and let it soak for a few minutes to
loosen dirt.
Rub the surface with a clean, damp cloth
to remove dirt and the soap solution. If
some dirt still remains on the surface, re-
peat this procedure.

WAXING
After washing the vehicle, waxing and pol-
ishing are recommended to further pro-
tect and beautify the paint.
Only use waxes and polishes of good qual-
ity.
When using waxes and polishes, observe
the precautions specified by the manufac-
turers.
❒Once the dirt has been completely re-
moved, rinse off the detergent with
running water.
❒After rinsing, wipe off the vehicle body
with a wet chamois or cloth and allow
it to dry in the shade.
❒Check carefully for damage to painted
surfaces. If there is any damage, “touch-
up” the damage following the proce-
dure below:
– Clean all damaged spots and allow
them to dry.
– Stir the paint and “touch- up” the
damaged spots lightly using a small
brush.
– Allow the paint to dry completely.
IMPORTANT If you use an automatic ve-
hicle wash, make sure that your vehicle’s
body parts, such as spoilers, can not be
damaged. If you are in doubt, consult the
vehicle wash operator for advice.
