CAR MAINTENANCE

Do not let the power
steering fluid come into
contact with hot engine
parts. It catches fire very easily.The brake fluid is poiso-
nous and very corrosive.
In the event of accidental
contact, immediately wash the
affected parts with water and
mild soap and rinse under run-
ning water. Immediately call a
doctor if the fluid is swallowed.
Oil consumption is ex-
tremely low. If the oil lev-
el needs topping up again
in a short period of time, have the
system checked for leakage at a
Fiat Dealership.Make sure that the high-
ly corrosive brake fluid
does not trip onto the
paintwork. If it does, wash it off
immediately with water. BRAKE AND HYDRAULIC
CLUTCH FLUID fig. 10
Remove cap Aand check that the
fluid in the reservoir is at the maxi-
mum level.
The symbol πon the
container indicates syn-
thetic brake fluid distin-
guishing it from mineral fluid. Us-
ing mineral type fluid would dam-
age the special rubber braking
system gaskets beyond repair.

AIR CLEANER
The air cleaner is connected to tem-
perature and air flow sensors which
send the electrical signals needed for
the correct system injection and start-
ing to the control unit.
For this reason and to limit con-
sumption and exhaust emissions the
air cleaner must always be efficient. IMPORTANTBrake fluid is hy-
groscopic (meaning it absorbs humid-
ity). This is why the fluid should be
changed more frequently than shown
in the Service Schedule if the vehicle is
mainly driven in areas with a high per-
centage of humidity in the air.If the following filter re-
placement operations are
not carried out in the cor-
rect way and without taking the
necessary precautions, the vehi-
cle driving safety may be com-
promised.
The filter replacement
procedure is just for in-
formation. Go to a Fiat
Dealership to carry it out in the
correct way.
If the car is often used in
dusty roads, you should
change the filter element
more frequently than shown in
the Service Schedule.
The cleaner can be dam-
aged if it is cleaned and
consequently the engine
can be damaged.

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.
184-213 ULYSSE ING:184-213 ULYSSE ING 13-11-2009 10:13 Pagina 201

Do not attempt to
recharge a frozen bat-
tery. Thaw it first other-
wise it could explode. If the bat-
tery froze, make sure the inter-
nal elements are not broken
(short-circuit risk) and that the
casing is not cracked (risk of
spilling the poisonous and corro-
sive fluid).Incorrect fitting of elec-
trical and electronic ac-
cessories can seriously
damage the vehicle. If after buy-
ing the car, you want to install
other accessories, contact a Fiat
Dealership whose qualified per-
sonnel, in addition to suggesting
the most suitable devices, will
evaluate whether the car’s elec-
tric system should be integrated
with a more powerful battery.
CAR MAINTENANCE
202
When working on the
battery or near it, always
wear the proper goggles.
Running the battery
with low fluid level can
damage the battery be-
yond repair and could also cause
its explosion.
If the car is left inactive
for long periods at cold,
remove the battery and
store it in a warm place to pre-
vent freezing.

CAR MAINTENANCE
207
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.

Changing the rear window
wiper blade fig. 16
Proceed as follows:
– lift the rear window wiper arm A
off the glass and position the blade so
as to form a right angle with the arm;
– remove the pressure fitted blade B
following the arrow direction;
– fit the new blade in the opposite di-
rection and make sure it is properly
locked into place.SPRAY NOZZLES
If there is no jet of liquid, first make
sure that there is liquid in the reser-
voir (see “Checking fluid levels” in this
chapter).
Then make sure that the holes in the
nozzles are not clogged up. Use a pin
for this if necessary.HEADLIGHT
WASHERS
fig. 17
(for versions/markets, where provided)
Regularly check that the nozzles are
intact and clean.
The headlight washers are automat-
ically switched on when the wind-
screen washer is operated and the
headlights are on.

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
