WINDSCREEN WASHER
FLUID
To add fluid, remove cap A-fig. 10
from the reservoir and slowly pour in
a mixture of water and TUTELA
PROFESSIONAL SC35fluid in the
following concentrations:
– 30% ofTUTELA PROFES-
SIONAL SC35and 70% of water in
summer.
– 50% ofTUTELA PROFES-
SIONAL SC35and 50% of water in
winter.
If the temperature falls below –20°C,
useTUTELA PROFESSIONAL
SC35undiluted.
POWER STEERING
FLUID
Check the oil level when the engine
is cold. It should be slightly under the
reference line on the reservoir.
When the oil is hot, the level can ex-
ceed the reference line.
When topping up, remove the reser-
voir cap A-fig. 11 and make sure that
the oil has the same specifications as
the oil in the system.Oil consumption is ex-
tremely low. If the oil
level needs topping up
again after a short period of
time, have the system checked
for leakage at a Fiat Dealership.

Do not let the power steer-
ing fluid come into contact
with hot engine parts. It catches fire
very easily.
WARNINGSome windscreen washer
additives on the market are
flammable. The engine compart-
ment contains hot parts which
could ignite the fluid in the event of
contact.
WARNING
Do not travel with the wind-
screen washer reservoir
empty. The windscreen washer is
fundamental for improving visibility.
