NOTE With disc brakes, the fluid level can
be expected to gradually fall as the brake
pads wear.
BRAKES
BRAKE FLUID
Check the brake fluid level by looking at
the reservoir in the engine compartment.
Check that the fluid level is between the
“MAX” and “MIN” lines. If the brake flu-
id level is near the “MIN” line, fill it up to
the “MAX” line with TUTELA TOP 4 SAE
J1704 o DOT4 brake fluid.
79J010
Failure to follow the guide-
lines below can result in per-
sonal injury or serious damage to the
brake system.
– If the brake fluid in the reservoir
drops below a certain level, the brake
warning light on the instrument pan-
el will come on (the engine must be
running with the parking brake fully
disengaged). Should the light come
on, immediately ask your Fiat Deal-
ership to inspect the brake system.
– A rapid fluid loss indicates a leak in
the brake system which should be in-
spected by your Fiat Dealership im-
mediately.
WARNING– Brake fluid can harm your
eyes and damage painted
surfaces. Use caution when refilling
the reservoir.
– Do not use any fluid other than SAE
J1704 or DOT4 brake fluid. Do not
use reclaimed fluid or fluid that has
been stored in old or open contain-
ers. It is essential that foreign parti-
cles and other liquids are kept out of
the brake fluid reservoir.
WARNING
Brake fluid is harmful or fa-
tal if swallowed, and harm-
ful if it comes in contact with skin or
eyes. If swallowed, do not induce
vomiting. Immediately contact a poi-
son control center or a physician. If
brake fluid gets in eyes, flush eyes
with water and seek medical atten-
tion. Wash thoroughly after handling.
Solution can be poisonous to animals.
Keep out of the reach of children and
animals.

TIRES
The front and rear tire pressure specifi-
cations for your vehicle are listed on the
Tire Information Label. Both the front and
rear tires should have the specified tire
pressure.
Note that the value does not apply to the
compact spare tire.
TIRE INSPECTION
Inspect your vehicle’s tires at least once
a month by performing the following
checks
❒Measure the air pressure with a tire
gauge. Adjust the pressure if necessary.
Remember to check the spare tire, too.
CLUTCH PEDAL
FLUID CONTROL CLUTCH
Check the clutch pedal for smooth oper-
ation and clutch fluid level from time to
time. If clutch dragging is felt with the ped-
al fully depressed, have the clutch in-
spected by your Fiat Dealership. If the
clutch fluid level is near the “MIN” line, fill
it up to the “MAX” line with TUTELA
TOP 4 SAE J1704 or DOT4 brake fluid.
