light FIAT TALENTO 2020 Owner handbook (in English)

wash the vehicle with high pressure
cleaners;
apply stickers to the painted surfaces
(they might leave traces).
What to do
Wash the vehicle by hand, with lots of
water, using a soft cloth or sponge.
Going through an automatic car
wash
Bring the windscreen wiper to the stop
position (refer to the "Windscreen /
Rearscreen wiper” paragraph in the
"Getting to know your vehicle” chapter).
Check that external equipment is fixed
properly (additional lamps, rearview
mirrors) and remove the radio aerial (for
versions/markets where provided).
Headlight cleaning
Since the headlights are equipped with
plastic materials, use a soft cloth or
cotton pad. If this is not sufficient, wet it
slightly with soapy water, then rinse with
a soft cloth or cotton. Finish by drying
delicately with a soft, dry cloth. Do not
use alcohol based detergents or tools
(e.g. a scraper).
Windows
(e.g.: the instrument panel, clock,
outside temperature display panel,
radio display panel, multi-media or
multi-function display panel, etc.)Use a soft, cotton cloth. If this is not
sufficient, use a soft cloth (or a cotton
pad) slightly wetted with soapy water,
then rinse with a soft cloth or wet
cotton.
Finish by drying delicately with a soft,
dry cloth.
Do not use alcohol-based products
and/or atomisers on the area.
WARNING
225)In order to preserve the aesthetic
appearance of the paint, abrasive products
and/or polishes should not be used for
cleaning the vehicle.
226)Avoid washing with rollers and/or
brushes in washing stations. Wash the
vehicle only by hand using neutral pH
detergents; dry it with a dampened
chamois leather. Abrasive products and/or
polishes should not be used for cleaning
the vehicle. Bird droppings must be
washed off immediately and thoroughly as
the acid they contain is particularly
aggressive. Avoid (if at all possible) parking
the vehicle under trees; remove vegetable
resins immediately as, when dried, it may
only be possible to remove them with
abrasive products and/or polishes, which is
highly inadvisable as they could alter the
typical opaqueness of the paint. Do not
use pure windscreen washer fluid for
cleaning the front windscreen and rear
window; dilute it min. 50% with water. Only
use pure screen washer fluid when strictly
necessary due to outside temperature
conditions.
IMPORTANT
7)Detergents pollute the environment. The
vehicle should be washed in areas
equipped for collecting and purifying the
liquid used in the washing process.

soapy water (possibly warm) based on
mild soap.
Detergents are prohibited (liquid
detergent for dishes, powdered
detergent, alcohol-based products).
Use a soft cloth.
Rinse and blot the excess water.
Instrument glass
(For example: instrument panel, clock,
outside temperature display panel,
radio display panel etc.)
Using a soft, cotton cloth. If this is not
sufficient, use a soft cloth (or a cotton
pad) slightly wetted with soapy water,
then rinse with a soft cloth or wet
cotton.
Finish by drying delicately with a soft,
dry cloth.

or soap and warm water, rubbing with a
sponge and drying with a dry cloth.
Do not use detergents or chemical
products.
Fabric (seats, door upholstery, etc.)
Dust the fabric regularly.
Liquid spots
Use soapy water.
Blot lightly (without rubbing) with a soft
cloth, then rinse and remove residual
liquid.
Solid or pasty spots
Immediately and delicately remove the
excess solid or pasty material with a
spatula (working from the edges to the
middle, keeping the spot from growing).
Clean as indicated for liquid spots.
Special procedure for candy,
chewing gum
Apply an ice cube to crystallise it, then
proceed as indicated for solid spots.
IMPORTANT For any interior service
advice or in case of unsatisfactory
results, see a Fiat Dealership.Dismounting/remounting
removable equipment original to
the vehicle
If you need to remove original
equipment from the passenger
compartment (for example, mats) in
order to clean it, be sure to replace
them carefully on the correct side (the
driver's mat goes on the driver's side)
and fasten them using the components
supplied with them (for example, the
driver's mat must be held in place with
the standard fastening elements).
In any case, when the vehicle is
stopped, make sure nothing can
interfere with driving (obstacle impeding
use of the pedals: a heel that catches
on the mat, etc.).
What not to do
Placing objects where the diffusers are,
such as deodorants, air fresheners,
etc., which could damage the
dashboard trim.
Use a high-powered or spray cleaner
inside the passenger compartment:
without the necessary precautions, you
could damage the electrical or
electronic components in the vehicle.
180
SERVICING AND CARE

WARNING
227)Never use flammable products, such
as petrol ether or rectified petrol to clean
the inside of the vehicle. The electrostatic
charges which are generated by rubbing
during the cleaning operation may cause a
fire.
228)Do not keep aerosol cans in the
vehicle: they might explode. Aerosol cans
must not be exposed to a temperature
exceeding 50°C. When the vehicle is
exposed to sunlight, the internal
temperature can greatly exceed this value.
229)There must be no obstacles on the
floor underneath the pedals; make sure
that mats are always flat and do not
interfere with the pedals.
IMPORTANT
62)We advise you not to use a high
powered or spray cleaner inside the
passenger compartment: without the
necessary precautions, you could damage
the electrical or electronic components in
the vehicle.
63)Never use alcohol, petrols and
derivatives to clean the dashboard and
instrument panel lens.

White smoke coming from the exhaust
pipe.This does not necessarily indicate a
defect: the smoke comes from
regenerating the particulate filter.Please see the paragraph "Details about the Diesel
version".
Smoke coming from underneath the
vehicle when starting the heating.This does not necessarily indicate a
fault: the smoke comes from the boiler.
In this case, the smoke will gradually
disappear when the passenger
compartment has reached the right
temperature.
