You should take extreme
care when working on your
vehicle to prevent accidental injury.
Here are a few precautions that you
should be especially careful to ob-
serve:
– To prevent damage or unintended
activation of the air bag system or
seat belt pretensioner system, be sure
the battery is disconnected and the
ignition switch has been in the
“LOCK” position for at least 90 sec-
onds before performing any electrical
service work on your Fiat. Do not
touch air bag system components,
seat belt pretensioner system com-
ponents or wires.
The wires are wrapped with yellow
tape or yellow tubing, and the cou-
plers are yellow for easy identifica-
tion.
– Do not leave the engine running in
garages or other confined areas.
WARNING
– When the engine is run-
ning, keep hands, clothing,
tools, and other objects away from
the fan and drive belt. Even though
the fan may not be moving, it can au-
tomatically turn on without warning.
– When it is necessary to do service
work with the engine running, make
sure that the parking brake is set ful-
ly and the transaxle is in Neutral (for
manual transaxle vehicles) or Park
(for automatic transaxle vehicles).
– Do not touch ignition wires or oth-
er ignition system parts when starting
the engine or when the engine is run-
ning, or you could receive an electric
shock.
– Be careful not to touch a hot en-
gine, exhaust manifold and pipes,
muffler, radiator and water hoses.
– Do not allow smoking, sparks, or
flames around gasoline or the bat-
tery. Flammable fumes are present.
– Do not get under your vehicle if it is
supported only with the portable jack
provided in your vehicle.
WARNING
– Be careful not to cause ac-
cidental short circuits be-
tween the positive and negative bat-
tery terminals.
– Keep used oil, coolant, and other
fluids away from children and pets.
Dispose of used fluids properly; nev-
er pour them on the ground, into sew-
ers, etc.

ADDING COOLANT
Engine coolant is harmful or
fatal if swallowed or inhaled.
Do not drink antifreeze or coolant so-
lution. If swallowed, do not induce
vomiting. Immediately contact a poi-
son control center or a physician.
Avoid inhaling mist or hot vapors; if
inhaled, remove to fresh air. If
coolant gets in eyes, flush eyes with
water and seek medical attention.
Wash thoroughly after handling. So-
lution can be poisonous to animals.
Keep out of the reach of children and
animals.
WARNINGIMPORTANT
❒The mixture you use should contain
50% concentration of antifreeze.
❒If the lowest ambient temperature in
your area is expected to be –35°C
(–31°F) or below, use higher concen-
trations up to 60% following the in-
structions on the antifreeze container.
❒When putting the cap on the reservoir
tank, line up the arrow on the cap and
the arrow on the tank. Failure to follow
this can result in coolant leakage.
If the coolant level is below the “LOW”
mark, more coolant should be added.
When the engine is cool, remove the de-
gassing tank cap by turning it anticlock-
wise slowly to release any pressure. And
add coolant until the degassing tank level
reaches the “FULL” mark. Never fill the
degassing tank above the “FULL” mark.
It is hazardous to remove the
degassing tank cap for Diesel
engine when the water temperature
is high, because scalding fluid and
steam may be blown out under pres-
sure. Wait until the coolant temper-
ature has lowered before removing
the cap.
