REPLACEMENT fig. 11
Make the following operations:
– remove the jack lever;
– drive off side screws Aand remove
cap B;
– extract the inside filter and replace
it.POLLEN FILTER
This filter has a mechani-
cal/electrostatic air filtering action,
provided that windows and doors are
closed.
Have the pollen filter checked at a
Fiat Dealership, preferably at the
beginning of spring/summer.If the car is often used in dusty or ex-
tremely polluted environments, you
should change the filter element more
frequently than shown in the Service
Schedule.
IMPORTANTIf the pollen filter is
not replaced the climate control sys-
tem efficiency may be reduced.

BATTERY
The battery, placed in a scuttle on
the floor in front of the passenger’s
seat, is of the “Limited Maintenance”
type. Under normal conditions it will
not need to be topped up with distilled
water.
REPLACING THE BATTERY
If required, replace the battery with
a genuine spare part having the same
specifications. If a battery with differ-
ent specifications is fitted, the service
intervals given in the Service Schedule
in this section will no longer be valid.
Refer to the instructions provide by
the battery manufacturer.Batteries contain sub-
stances that are very
harmful for the environ-
ment. You are advised to have
the battery changed at a Fiat
Dealership, which is properly
equipped for disposing of used
batteries respecting nature and
the law.
IMPORTANTMake sure the bat-
tery is correctly secured from a me-
chanical point view when removing
and refitting it.CHECKING THE BATTERY
FLUID LEVEL (electrolyte)
Check and top up the electrolyte lev-
el, if needed, in accordance with the
Service Schedule contained in this
chapter. Have this operation carried
out at a Fiat Dealership.
The liquid in the battery
is poisonous and corro-
sive. Avoid contact with
eyes and skin. Do not bring naked
flames or possible sources of
sparks near to the battery: risk of
fire and explosion.

CAR MAINTENANCE

To ensure the front and rear tyres all
wear evenly, you are advised to change
the tyres every 10-15 thousand kilo-
metres keeping them on the same side
of the car so as not to reverse the di-
rection of rotation.RUBBER TUBING
Follow the Service Schedule to the
letter as concerns braking, power
steering and fuel line rubber tubing.
Ozone, high temperatures and long ab-
sence of fluid in the system can in fact
cause the hardening and cracking of the
pipes with possible loss of fluid. A care-
ful check is therefore essential.
WINDSCREEN/
REAR WINDOW
WIPERS
BLADES
Periodically clean the rubber part
with suitable products. We recom-
mend TUTELA PROFESSIONAL
SC 35.
Change the blades if the rubber edge
is warped or worn out. You should in
any case change them approximately
once a year. Do not change the tyres
over in criss-cross fashion
by moving a tyre from the
left hand side of the car to the
right and vice versa.
Travelling with worn
wiper blades is dangerous
because it reduces visibil-
ity in bad weather.

FLUIDS AND LUBRICANTS
CHARACTERISTICS OF THE PRODUCTS
Use
For diesel engines, in case of emergency if original products are not available, lubricants with minimum performace ACEA B4 can be considered
acceptable; in this case no optimal performance of the engien can be assured and therefore we recommend to replace it as soon as possible
with the lubricant recommended by the Fiat Service Network.
Use of products with characteristics that are lower than ACEA B4 - SAE 5W-40 for Diesel engines, may damage the engine not under
warranty.
For weather conditions that are severe, ask the service network which product of the PETRONAS LUBRICANTS is more suitable.Original

PROVISIONS FOR THE PROCESSING OF A VEHICLE AT THE END OF
ITS LIFE-CYCLE
For years now Fiat has been developing its global commitment towards the safeguarding and protection of the Environ-
ment through the continuous improvement of its production processes and the making of increasingly more “eco friendly”
products. With a view to guaranteeing the best possible service to clients in full observance of environmental norms and in
response to the obligations imposed by European Directive 2000/53/EC on end-of-life vehicles, Fiat offers its clients the
possibility to hand in their vehicle* at the end of its life span without additional costs.
The European Directive, in fact, provides for the collection of the vehicle without the last holder or owner of the same in-
curring expenses due to the fact that the market value of the vehicle is zero or negative. In particular, in almost all of the
countries of the European Union, up until 1st January 2007, collection of the vehicle free of charge only applies to vehicles
registered from 1 July 2002 on, while, from 2007 on collection will be carried out free of charge independently of the year
of registration, provided that the vehicle still contains its essential component parts (especially engine and body) and is free
from additional waste materials.
To have your end-of-life vehicle collected at no additional cost, simply contact one of our dealers or one of the collection
and demolition centres authorised by Fiat. These centres have been carefully selected with a view to guaranteeing a good
quality service for the collection, processing and recycling of discarded vehicles while protecting the Environment.
Information on collection and demolition centres may be obtained from the network of Fiat and Fiat Commercial Vehicle
dealers, by calling the toll free number 00800 3428 0000 or by consulting the Fiat web site.
* Passenger transportation vehicles to seat a max. of nine persons, having a total admissible weight of 3.5 t
