IMPORTANT

243) Never smoke while working in the engine compartment: gas and inflammable vapours may be present, with the risk of fire.

244) Be very careful when working in the engine compartment when the engine is hot: you may get burned. Remember that the fan may start

up if the engine is hot: this could injure you. Scarves, ties and other loose clothing might be pulled by moving parts.

245) Do not operate in the engine compartment while the car is charging or when the connector on the charging port is plugged in.

233

WARNING

87) The use of products with specifications other than those indicated above could cause damage to the engine not covered by the warranty.

234

COOLING SYSTEM FLUID

The traction system coolant level must

be checked when the motor is cold

and must range between the MIN

and MAX marks on the reservoir. If

the level is under the MIN level, go to

a Fiat Dealership. Do not attempt to

open the cap yourself to avoid burns

and/or damage to the cooling system

and electronic components. Topping

up and filling operations must be

carried out by qualified personnel at

Fiat Dealership using the appropriate

equipment for vacuum filling.

BRAKE FLUID

IMPORTANT

Check that the fluid is at the maximum

level (the fluid level in the reservoir must

not exceed the MAX mark).

246) Do not travel with the windscreen

washer fluid reservoir empty: the

windscreen washer is essential for

improving visibility. Some commercial

windscreen washer additives are

flammable. The engine compartment

contains hot components which may set it

on fire.

247) Brake fluid is poisonous and highly

corrosive. In the event of accidental

contact, immediately wash the affected

parts with water and mild soap. Then rinse

thoroughly. Call a doctor immediately if

swallowed.

If the fluid level in the reservoir is too

low, undo reservoir cap (B) (see

the previous pages) and add the

fluid described in the "Technical

specifications" section.

Note Carefully clean the cap of the

reservoir (B) and the surrounding

surface. Take great care to ensure that

impurities do not enter the reservoir

when the cap is opened. Always use a

funnel with a built-in filter with a mesh

of 0.12 mm or less.

WINDSCREEN/REAR

WINDOW WASHER FLUID

Check fluid level through the reservoir.

If the liquid is too low, lift reservoir

cap (D) (see previous pages) and add

the fluid described in In the section

"Technical specifications".

248) The

symbol on the reservoir

identifies synthetic brake fluids,

distinguishing them from the mineral type.

Use of mineral type fluids will irreparably

damage the braking system’s special

rubber seals.

NOTE Carefully clean the cap of the

reservoir (B) and the surrounding

surface. Take great care to ensure that

impurities do not enter the reservoir

when the cap is opened. Always use a

funnel with a built-in filter with a mesh

of 0.12 mm or less.

WARNING

The windscreen washer reservoir must

be filled with the liquids provided for

this purpose. The use of any other

liquid can compromise the operation of

the reservoir pump.

88) Prevent brake fluid, which is highly

corrosive, from coming into contact

with painted parts. Should it happen,

immediately wash with water.

WARNING Brake fluid is hygroscopic

(i.e. it absorbs moisture). For this

reason, if the car is mainly used

in areas with a high degree of

12V BATTERY

The car is fitted with a low-

maintenance 12V battery: no electrolyte

top-ups with distilled water are needed

in standard conditions of use.

USEFUL ADVICE FOR

EXTENDING THE LIFE OF

THE 12V BATTERY

To avoid draining your 12V battery

and make it last longer, observe the

following instructions:

If after buying the car, you want to

install electric accessories which

require permanent electric supply

(alarm, etc.) or accessories influencing

the electrical supply requirements,

contact a Fiat Dealership whose

qualified personnel will suggest

the most suitable devices from

the 12V battery. For 12V battery

replacement, contact a Fiat Dealership.

when you park the car, ensure that

the doors, boot and bonnet are closed

properly, to prevent any lights from

remaining on inside the passenger's

compartment;

switch off all ceiling lights inside the

car: the car is however equipped with a

system which switches all internal lights

off automatically;

do not keep accessories (e.g.

Uconnect™, hazard warning lights,

etc.) switched on for a long time;

before performing any operation

on the electrical system, disconnect

the cable from the negative battery

terminal;

WARNING Do not use the 12V battery

of the car to charge the 12V battery of

the another car. The battery power is

insufficient for this operation, with the

risk of damage to the car.

Lineaccessori MOPAR and evaluate

®

the overall electric absorption, checking

whether the electric system in the car is

able to support the required load, or

if it should be integrated with a more

powerful 12V battery.

INSPECTING THE

CHARGE AND THE

ELECTROLYTE LEVEL

The operations must be carried out as

described in this Owner Handbook only

by specialised technicians. Topping

must be carried out by specialised

personnel at a Fiat Dealership.

Since some of these devices continue

to consume electricity even when the

motor is off, they gradually run down

the battery.

12V BATTERY

REPLACEMENT

Never charge the 12V battery using:

an external battery charger;

a battery from another car.

WARNING If the charge level remains

under 50% for a long time, the 12V

battery is damaged by sulphation,

reducing its capacity and efficiency at

start-up.

which will suggest the most suitable

devices and advise you whether a higher

capacity battery needs to be installed.

Depending on the version/market, the

car may be equipped with mechanical

wear detectors for the brake pads: one

for each wheel assembly. When the

brake linings are close to wearing out,

pressing the brake pedal will generate

a slight squeal: this lasts for about

100 km (the mileage varies with the

driving style and route). In this case,

it is still possible to continue driving,

with caution. However, contact a Fiat

Dealership as soon as possible to have

the worn brake pads changed.

IMPORTANT

WARNING

249) Battery fluid is poisonous and

corrosive. Avoid contact with the skin and

eyes. Keep open flames away from the

battery and do not use objects that might

create sparks: risk of explosion and fire.

250) Using the battery with low fluid will

irreparably damage the battery and may

cause an explosion.

7) Batteries contain substances which

are very harmful for the environment. It is

advisable to contact a Fiat Dealership for

battery replacement.

RUBBER HOSES

251) Always wear appropriate goggles to

protect your eyes when working on or near

the conventional battery.

For maintenance of the brake and

cooling system rubber hoses, please

contact a Fiat Dealership.

REPLACING THE

WINDSCREEN/REAR

WINDOW WIPER

BLADES

252) Any operation concerning the 12V

battery ( removal, disconnection, etc.)

must be carried out by a specialised

professional. Contact a Fiat Dealership.

253) Do not attempt to recharge a frozen

battery: first it must be thawed, otherwise

there is a risk of explosion. If freezing has

occurred, the battery should be checked

by specialised technicians to make sure

that the internal elements are not damaged

and that the body is not cracked, with the

risk of leaking poisonous and corrosive

acid.

Ozone, high temperatures and

prolonged lack of fluid in the system

may cause hardening and cracking of

the hoses, with possible leaks. Careful

checking is therefore necessary.

WIPER BLADES

Replace the blades if the rubber

edge is deformed or worn. In any

case, it is advisable to replace them

approximately once a year.

A few simple precautions can reduce

the possibility of damage to the blades:

if the temperature falls below zero,

make sure that ice has not frozen the

rubber to the glass. Use a de-icing

product to release it if required;

remove any snow from the glass:

in addition to protecting the blades,

worn in the centre. The tyres must be

replaced when the tread is less than

1.6 mm thick. In any case, follow the

laws in force in the country where you

are driving.

254) Driving with worn windscreen wiper

blades is a serious hazard, because

visibility is reduced in bad weather

conditions.

255) If the window needs to be cleaned,

make sure the device is turned off or the

ignition device is in the STOP position.

256) 257) 258) 259)

Check the pressure of each tyre

approximately every two weeks and

before long journeys. The pressure

should be checked with the tyre rested

and cold.

IMPORTANT NOTES

As far as possible, avoid sharp

braking, screech starts and violent

shocks against pavements, potholes or

other hard obstacles.

Driving for long stretches over uneven

roads can damage the tyres;

periodically check that the tyres have

no cuts in the side wall, abnormal

swelling or irregular tyre tread wear. Go

to a Fiat Dealership if required;

avoid overloading the car when

travelling: this may cause serious

damage to the wheels and tyres;

It is normal for the pressure to increase

when the car is used; for the correct

tyre inflation pressure, see the

"Wheels" chapter in the "Technical

specifications" section.

Incorrect pressure causes abnormal

tyre wear fig. 257:

239

not use compact plastic sheets which

do not allow humidity to evaporate

from the surface of the car;

disable the alarm system of the car

(where provided);

inflate tyres to +0.5 bar above the

standard specified pressure and check

it at intervals;

do not drain the cooling system;

any time the car is left inactive for

two weeks or more, operate the

climate control system for at least

5 minutes, setting external air and

with fan set to maximum speed. This

operation will ensure appropriate

lubrication for the system, thus

minimising the possibility of damage to

the compressor when the system is

operated again;

if a tyre is punctured, stop

immediately to avoid damage to the

tyre, the rim, suspension and steering

system;

tyres age even if they are not used

much. Cracks in the tread and on

the sidewalls are a sign of ageing. In

any event, have the tyres checked by

specialised personnel if they have been

fitted for longer than 6 years;

in the case of replacement, always fit

new tyres, avoiding those of unknown

origin;

258) Do not switch tyres from the

right-hand side of the car to the left-hand

side, and vice versa.

259) Do not repaint alloy wheel rims at

temperatures higher than 150°C. The

mechanical features of the wheels could

be compromised.

CAR INACTIVITY

If the car is to be left inactive for longer

than a month, observe the following

precautions:

park the car in covered, dry and if

possible well-ventilated premises and

slightly open the windows;

check that the electric parking

brake is not engaged and put the

transmission in position P;

check the state of charge of the 12V

battery every 30 days;

clean and protect the painted parts

using protective wax;

clean and protect the shiny metal

parts using special compounds

available commercially;

sprinkle talcum powder on the

windscreen and rear window wiper

rubber blades and lift them off the

glass;

cover the car with a fabric or

perforated plastic sheet, paying

particular care not to damage the

painted surface by dragging any dust

that may have accumulated on it. Do

if a tyre is changed, also change the

inflation valve;

to allow even wear between the front

and rear tyres, it is advisable to change

them over every 10-15 thousand

kilometres, keeping them on the same

side of the car to avoid inverting the

direction of rotation;

avoid travelling with partially or

completely deflated tyres as this can

compromise safety and damage the

tyres beyond repair.

take the high-voltage battery to a

charge level close to 100%.

The amount of charge of the high-

voltage battery may gradually decrease

when the car is not used. Therefore,

avoid long stays with a charge state

close to zero. If possible, monitor the

state of charge and prevent it from

reaching excessively low levels. Follow

these warnings even for longer stays of

less than a month (a few weeks).

IMPORTANT

256) Remember that the road holding

qualities of your car also depend on

correct tyre pressures.

257) If tyre pressure is too low, the tyre

may overheat and be severely damaged as

a result.

used to wash the car, keep a distance

of at least 40 cm from the bodywork to

avoid damage or alteration. It should be

remembered that a build up of water

could cause damage, in the long term,

to the car;

wet the bodywork with a low-

pressure water jet;

wipe a sponge with a slightly soapy

solution over the bodywork, frequently

rinsing the sponge;

rinse well with water and dry with a

jet of air or a chamois leather.

Dry the less visible parts with special

care, such as the door frames, bonnet

and the headlight frames, where water

may stagnate more easily. The car

should not be taken to a closed area

immediately, but left outside so that

residual water can evaporate.

Do not wash the car after it has been

left in the sun or with the bonnet

hot: this may alter the shine of the

paintwork. Exterior plastic parts must

be cleaned in the same way as the rest

of the car.

mud and gravel raised by other cars is

also not to be underestimated.

The manufacturer will used the best

manufacturing technologies on your

car to effectively protect the bodywork

against corrosion.

PRESERVING THE

BODYWORK

Paintwork

91)

Paintwork does not only serve an

aesthetic purpose, but also protects

the underlying sheet metal.

These include:

painting products and systems which

give the car particular resistance to

corrosion and abrasion;

use of galvanised (or pretreated)

sheet metal, with high resistance to

corrosion;

spraying of underbody, motor

compartment, wheel arch interiors and

other parts with highly protective wax

products;

spraying of plastic parts, with a

protective function in the more exposed

points: underdoor, inner wing, edges,

etc.;

You are advised to touch up abrasions

and scratches immediately to prevent

rust formation. Use only original

paint products for touch-ups (see

“Bodywork paint identification plate” in

the “Technical Specifications” section).

Normal care for paintwork consists of

washing the car; how often depends

on the conditions and environment

where the car is used. For example, in

highly polluted areas, or if the roads are

spread with salt, it is advisable to wash

the car more frequently.

Where possible, do not park the car

under trees; the resinous substances

that many species release give the

paint a dull appearance and increase

the possibility of triggering rusting

processes.

To correctly wash the car, proceed as

follows:

if high pressure jets or cleaners are
