USEFUL ADVICE FOR
LENGTHENING THE LIFE
OF YOUR BATTERY
To preserve the battery charge and
its functions, observe the following in-
structions:
– when you park the car, ensure the
doors, tailgate and bonnet are closed
properly. The ceiling lights must be off;
– the battery cables must be well fas-
tened;
– do not keep accessories (e.g.:
sound system, hazard lights, etc.)
switched on for a long time when the
engine is not running;
– before performing any operation
on the electrical system, disconnect
the battery negative cable.IMPORTANTA battery which is
kept at a charge of less than 50% for
any length of time will be damaged by
sulphation leading to a reduction in
cranking power and a higher risk of
the battery electrolyte freezing (this
may even occur at –10°C). If the car
is inactive for a long period of time, re-
fer to “Storing the car”, in “Getting to
know your car” section.If after buying the car, you want to
install electric accessories which re-
quire permanent electric supply, con-
tact a Fiat Dealership, whose qual-
ified personnel, in addition to sug-
gesting the most suitable devices be-
longing to the Lineaccessori Fiat, will
evaluate the overall electric absorp-
tion, checking whether the vehicle’s
electric system is capable of with-
standing the load required, or whether
it should be integrated with a more
powerful battery.

CLEANING SEATS
AND FABRICS
Remove dust with a soft brush and
vacuum cleaner.
Brush the seats with a damp sponge
with water and a neutral soap.
CLEANING LEATHER SEATS
Remove the dry dirt with a chamois
leather or very slightly moist cloth
without exerting too much pressure.
Remove liquid or grease stains with
a dry absorbent cloth without rubbing.
Then wipe with a chamois leather or
soft cloth moistened with water and
neutral soap.
IMPORTANTNever use alcohol
or alcohol-based products.STEERING WHEEL/GEAR
LEVER KNOB WITH
GENUINE LEATHER
COVERING
These components shall only be
cleaned with water and neutral soap.
Never use spirit or alcohol-based
products.
Before using special products for
cleaning interiors, read carefully label
instructions and indications to make
sure they are free from spirit and/or
alcohol-based substances.
If when cleaning the windscreen with
special glass products, some drops fall
on the leather covering of the steer-
ing wheel/gear lever knob remove
them immediately and then clean with
water and neutral soap.
IMPORTANTTake the utmost
care when engaging the steering lock
to prevent scratching the leather cov-
ering.PLASTIC PARTS INSIDE
THE CAR
Use special products designed not to
alter the appearance of the compo-
nents.
IMPORTANTDo not use alcohol
or petrol to clean the instrument
panel.
Do not keep aerosol
cans in the vehicle. There
is the risk they might ex-
plode. Aerosol cans must never
be exposed to a temperature
above 50°C; when the weather
starts to get hot the temperature
inside the vehicle might go well
beyond that figure.
