When topping up take care
not to confuse the various
types of fluids: they are all in-
compatible with one another
and could seriously damage the car.
Never smoke while working
in the engine compartment;
gas and inflammable vapours may be
present, with the risk of fire.

BRAKE FLUID fig. 15
Unscrew cap A: check that the fluid level
in the reservoir is at maximum.
Fluid level in the reservoir shall not exceed
the MAXmark.
If fluid has to be added, it is suggested to
use the brake fluid in table "Fluids and lu-
bricants" (see chapter "Technical charac-
teristics").
NOTE Clean accurately the tank cap A
and the surrounding surface. 2.2 versions
Contact Fiat Dealership for topping up or
changing the power steering fluid.
Do not allow the power
steering fluid to touch the
hot parts of the engine: it is inflam-
mable.
WARNING
fig. 15F0L0196m
Make sure that the highly cor-
rosive brake fluid does not drip
onto the paintwork; if it does,
wash it off immediately with
water.
At plug opening, pay maximum attention
in order to prevent any impurities from
entering the tank.
For topping up, always use a funnel with
integrated filter with mesh equal to or
lower than 0.12 mm.
IMPORTANT Brake fluid absorbs mois-
ture, for this reason, if the vehicle is main-
ly used in areas with a high degree of at-
mospheric humidity, the fluid should be
replaced at more frequent intervals than
specified in the “Service schedule”.
