WARNING

141) This starting procedure must be

performed by expert personnel because

incorrect actions could cause electrical

discharge of considerable intensity.

Furthermore, battery fluid is poisonous

and corrosive: avoid contact with skin and

eyes. Keep naked flames and lighted

cigarettes away from the battery and do

not cause sparks.

JUMP STARTING

If the battery is flat, it is possible to start

the engine using an auxiliary battery

with the same capacity or a little higher

than the flat one.

225

F0T0189

WARNING Do not directly connect

the negative terminals of the two

batteries: sparks could ignite explosive

gas released from the battery. If the

auxiliary battery is installed on another

vehicle, avoid any metal parts on the

latter and the vehicle with the flat

battery from accidentally coming into

contact.

Proceed as follows to start the engine

fig. 225:

connect the positive terminals (+

mark near the terminal) of the two

batteries using a suitable lead;

with a second lead, connect the

negative terminal (-) of the auxiliary

battery to an earthing point on the

engine or the gearbox of the vehicle to

be started;

IMPORTANT

32) Never use a fast battery charger to

start the engine as this could damage the

electronic systems, particularly the engine

ignition and fuel supply control units.

BUMP STARTING

behaviour to adopt on the road. Do not

start the engine whilst the vehicle is being

towed.

IMPORTANT

33) The front and rear tow hooks should

be used only for emergencies on the

road. You are allowed to tow the vehicle

for short distances using an appropriate

device in accordance with the highway

code (a rigid bar), to move the vehicle

on the road in readiness for towing or

transport via a breakdown vehicle. Tow

hooks MUST NOT be used to tow vehicles

off the road or where there are obstacles

and/or for towing operations using cables

or other non-rigid devices. In compliance

with the above conditions, towing must

take place with the two vehicles (one

towing, the other towed) aligned as much

as possible along the same centre line.

228

F0T0086

WARNING

143) Before towing, turn the ignition key

to MAR-ON and then to STOP without

removing it. The steering column will

automatically lock when the key is

removed and the wheels cannot be

steered.

144) Before tightening the hook clean

the threaded housing thoroughly. Before

towing the vehicle, make sure that the

tow ring is fully tightened in its appropriate

housing.

145) Do not start the engine whilst the

vehicle is being towed.

146) When towing, remember that greater

effort is required on the brake pedal in

order to brake, since the brake servo is

not providing assistance. Do not use

flexible cables when towing and avoid jerky

movements. During towing operations,

make sure that the fastened joint does

not damage adjoining components. When

towing the vehicle, it is necessary to obey

specific road regulations which relate both

to the towing device as well as to the

WARNING It is advisable to inform a

Fiat Dealership of any small operating

irregularities without waiting for the

next service. If your vehicle is used

frequently for towing, the interval

between service coupons must be

reduced.

SCHEDULED

SERVICING

Correct servicing is crucial for

guaranteeing a long life for the vehicle

under the best conditions.

This is why Fiat has planned a

series of checks and services every

30,000/35,000 km.

The scheduled maintenance

programme does not, however, cover

all the vehicle requirements; during the

initial period, before the 30,000/35,000

kilometre service and later on, between

services, routine operations must be

carried out like systematically checking

and topping up fluid levels, checking

the tyre inflation pressure, etc.

WARNING Scheduled Servicing

interventions are set out by the

Manufacturer. Failure to have them

carried out may invalidate the warranty.

Scheduled Servicing can be carried

out by any Fiat Dealership, at pre-

established times.

If during each operation, in addition to

the ones scheduled, the need arises

for further replacements or repairs,

these may only be carried out with the

express agreement of the Customer.

the oil, let the engine turn over for a few

seconds and wait a few minutes after

turning it off before you check the level.

Engine oil consumption

The maximum engine oil consumption

is usually 400 grams every 1000 km.

When the vehicle is new, the engine

needs to be run in, therefore the

engine oil consumption can only be

considered stabilised after the first

5,000–6,000 km.

WARNING

WARNING If the charge level remains

under 50% for a long time, the battery

is damaged by sulphation, reducing its

capacity and efficiency at start-up.

148) Be very careful 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.

149) Do not remove the reservoir cap

when the engine is very hot as there is

a risk of scalding. The cooling system is

pressurised. If necessary, only replace the

cap with another original or the operation

of the system may be adversely affected.

150) Do not travel with the windscreen

washer fluid reservoir empty: the

windscreen washer is essential for

improving visibility.

151) Some commercial windscreen

washer additives are flammable. The

engine compartment contains hot parts

which could start a fire if they come into

contact.

Follow the battery manufacturer's

instructions for maintenance.

38) 39)

The battery is also more prone to the

risk of freezing (at temperatures as high

as -10°C).

In case of prolonged idling, refer to the

"Vehicle inactivity" paragraph in this

chapter.

If, after buying the vehicle, you want

to install electrical accessories which

require permanent electric supply

(alarm, etc.) or accessories that in any

case burden the electrical supply,

contact a Fiat Dealership, whose

qualified personnel, in addition

to suggesting the most suitable

devices from Lineaccessori Fiat,

will evaluate the overall electrical

consumption, checking whether the

vehicle’s electrical system is capable

of withstanding the load required, or

5)

Useful advice for extending the life

of your battery

To avoid draining your battery and

make it last longer, observe the

following instructions:

when you park the vehicle, ensure

that the doors, tailgate and bonnet

are closed properly, to prevent any

ceiling lights from remaining on inside

the passenger's compartment;

switch off all ceiling lights inside

the vehicle: the vehicle is however

equipped with a system which

switches all internal lights off

automatically;

152) 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.

184

RECHARGING THE

BATTERY

WARNING The battery recharging

procedure is given as information

only. You are advised to contact a

Fiat Dealership to have this operation

carried out.

153) The symbol , on the brake fluid

container indicates if a brake fluid is

synthetic or mineral-based. Use of mineral

type fluids will damage the special rubber

seals of the braking system beyond repair.

154) Prevent power steering fluid from

it is flammable.

155) Battery fluid is poisonous and

corrosive. Avoid contact with skin and

eyes. Keep naked flames and sources of

sparks away from the battery: risk of

explosion and fire.

156) Using the battery with low fluid will

irreparably damage the battery and may

cause an explosion.

157) Always wear appropriate goggles to

protect your eyes when working on or near

the battery.

38) Incorrect installation of electric and

electronic devices may cause severe

damage to your vehicle. After purchasing

your vehicle, if you wish to install any

accessories (anti-theft, radio phone, etc.),

go to a Fiat Dealership, which will suggest

the most suitable devices and advise you

whether a higher capacity battery needs to

be installed.

39) If the vehicle will be unused for an

extended period of time in extremely cold

weather conditions, remove the battery

and store it in a heated area to prevent it

from freezing.

Charging should be slow at a low

ampere rating for approximately 24

hours. Charging for a longer time may

damage the battery.

To recharge, proceed as follows:

without Start&Stop system:

disconnect the terminal from the

negative battery pole;

connect the charger cables to the

battery terminals, observing the

polarity;

turn on the battery charger;

when it is recharged, turn the charger

off before disconnecting it from the

battery;

IMPORTANT

4) Power steering fluid consumption is

extremely low; if another top-up is required

after only a short period of time, have

the system checked for leaks at a Fiat

Dealership.

5) Batteries contain substances which are

very harmful for the environment. You are

recommended to go to a Fiat Dealership

to have the battery replaced where the old

battery will be disposed of respecting both

the environment and the laws in force.

IMPORTANT

35) Used engine oil and replaced oil filters

contain substances which are harmful to

the environment. To change oil and filters,

Check the pressure of each tyre,

including the space-saver spare wheel,

approximately every two weeks and

before long journeys: the pressure

should be checked with the tyre rested

and cold.

It is normal for the pressure to increase

when the vehicle is used; for the

correct tyre inflation pressure, see the

"Wheels" paragraph in the "Technical

specifications" chapter.

Incorrect pressure causes abnormal

tyre wear fig. 245:

country where you are driving.

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

189

standard tyres. Their usage should

therefore be restricted in accordance

with their type approval.

RUBBER HOSES

WARNING

As far as the maintenance of the brake

system and fuel supply system rubber

hoses is concerned, follow the "Service

Schedule" in this chapter carefully.

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.

161) Remember that the road holding

qualities of your vehicle also depend on

the correct inflation pressure of the tyres.

162) If tyre pressure is too low, the tyre

may overheat and be severely damaged as

a result.

163) Do not switch tyres from the

right-hand side of the vehicle to the

left-hand side, and vice versa.

165)

Note When using snow tyres with a

maximum speed index below the one

that can be reached by the vehicle

(increased by 5%), place a notice in

the passenger compartment, plainly in

view, which states the maximum speed

allowed by the snow tyres (as per

EC Directive). All four tyres should be

the same (brand and track) to ensure

greater safety when driving and braking

as well as a good manoeuvrability.

Remember that you should not change

the rotation direction of the tyres.

164) Never submit alloy rims to

repainting treatments requiring the use

of temperatures exceeding 150°C. The

mechanical properties of the wheels could

be impaired.

BODYWORK

PROTECTION AGAINST

ATMOSPHERIC AGENTS

The main causes of corrosion are the

following:

atmospheric pollution;

salty air and humidity (coastal areas,

165) You must not exceed 160 km/h on

snow tyres with a “Q” mark; in any case,

make sure you stick to the rules of the

highway code.

166) Keep the vehicle's speed down when

snow chains are fitted; never exceed 50

km/h. Avoid potholes, do not drive over

steps or pavements, and do not drive long

distances over roads without snow, to

avoid damaging both your vehicle and the

road surface.

SNOW CHAINS

The use of snow chains should be in

compliance with local regulations of

each country. The snow chains may be

applied only onto the front wheel (drive

wheels).

Check the tension of the snow chains

after the first few metres have been

driven.

or hot humid climates);

seasonal environmental conditions.

The abrasive action of wind-borne

atmospheric dust and sand, as well as

mud and gravel raised by other cars is

also not to be underestimated.

On your vehicle, Fiat has implemented

the best manufacturing technologies

to effectively protect the bodywork

against corrosion.

166)

These include:

painting products and systems which

give the vehicle particular resistance to

corrosion and abrasion;

190

“Bodywork paint identification plate” in

the “Technical specifications” section).

Normal maintenance of paintwork

consists in washing the vehicle: the

frequency depends on the conditions

and environment where the vehicle is

used.

For example, it is advisable to wash the

vehicle more often in areas with high

levels of environmental pollution or on

roads spread with salt.

To correctly wash the vehicle, proceed

as follows:

wash the bodywork using a low

pressure jet of water;

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.

If you put the vehicle through a car

wash, follow these recommendations:

remove the aerial from the roof so it

does not get damaged;

It is a good idea to leave the vehicle

outdoors for a while after washing it to

give the water time to evaporate.

Do not wash the vehicle after it has

been left in the sun or with the bonnet

hot: this may alter the shine of the

paintwork.

Exterior plastic parts should be cleaned

in the same way as the rest of the

vehicle.

use of galvanised (or pretreated)

sheet metal, with high resistance to

corrosion;

spraying the underbody, engine

compartment, wheelhouse internal

parts 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.;

use of “open” boxed sections to

prevent condensation and pockets of

moisture from triggering rust inside.

WARNING Where possible, do not park

the vehicle under trees; the resinous

substances released by many species

give the paint a dull appearance and

increase the possibility of corrosion.

VEHICLE BODY AND

UNDERBODY WARRANTY

Your vehicle is covered by warranty

against perforation due to corrosion of

any original element of the structure or

body.

WARNING Bird droppings must be

washed off immediately and thoroughly

as the acid they contain is particularly

aggressive.

For the general terms of this warranty,

refer to the Warranty Booklet.

ADVICE FOR

PRESERVING THE

BODYWORK

Windows

the vehicle should be washed with

water added to a soapy solution;

rinse thoroughly to avoid soap marks

remaining on the bodywork or less

visible parts.

To clean glasses, use specific cleaning

products. Use clean cloths to avoid

scratching the glass or altering the

transparency.

Paintwork

Paintwork does not only serve an

aesthetic purpose, but also protects

the underlying sheet metal.

You are advised to touch up abrasions

and scratches immediately to prevent

rust formation. Use only original

paint products for touch-ups (see

40) 41)

WARNING Wipe the rear window

inside gently with a cloth following

the direction of the filaments to avoid

damaging the heating device.

Dry the less visible parts, such as the

door frames, bonnet and the headlight

frames with special care, as in these

areas water may stagnate more easily.

191

Engine compartment

INTERIOR

41) Abrasive products and/or polishes

should not be used for cleaning the car.

Bird droppings must be washed off

immediately and thoroughly as the acid

they contain is particularly aggressive.

Avoid parking the vehicle under trees

(unless it is absolutely necessary). Remove

any resinous plant matter immediately

because, once it has dried, it may require

the use of abrasive and/or polishing

products to be removed, which are

strongly discouraged as they could

potentially alter the characteristics

of the paintwork. 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. Do not use chemicals/acids to

defrost windows/vehicle glass as they can

damage the paint.

At the end of each winter, thoroughly

wash the engine compartment, taking

care to avoid spraying the water jet

directly onto the electronic control

units and the relay/fuse box on the

left side of the engine compartment

(driving direction). Have this operation

performed at a specialised workshop.

Regularly check that water is not

trapped under the mats (due to water

dripping off shoes, umbrellas, etc.), as

this could cause oxidation of the sheet

metal.

FABRIC SEATS AND

PARTS

Remove dust with a soft brush or a

vacuum cleaner.

It is advisable to use a moist brush on

velvet upholstery.

Rub the seats with a sponge

moistened with a solution of water and

neutral detergent.

WARNING The washing should take

place with the engine cold and the

ignition key in the STOP position. After

the washing operation, make sure that

the various protections (e.g. rubber

caps and guards) have not been

removed or damaged.

PLASTIC PARTS

Headlights

It is advisable to clean interior plastic

parts with a moist cloth and a solution

of water and non-abrasive mild soap.

Use specific products for cleaning

plastic, without solvents and specifically

designed to prevent damage to the

appearance and colour of the treated

parts, to remove grease and tough

stains.

WARNING Never use aromatic

substances (e.g. petrol) or ketones (e.g.

acetone) for cleaning the plastic lenses

of the headlights.

IMPORTANT

6) Detergents pollute the water. The

vehicle should be washed in areas

equipped for collecting and purifying the

liquid used in the washing process.

IMPORTANT

40) Some automatic systems equipped

with old generation blades and/or with a

poor maintenance can damage the paint,

promoting the creation of microscoring

which give an opaque/coated appearance

to the paint, especially on dark colours. In

this case, just lightly polish with specific

products.

WARNING Never use alcohol or

petroleum to clean the instrument

panel.
