Should prevailing use of the vehicle
be under one of the following special-
ly heavy conditions:
– trailer or caravan towing;
– dusty roads;
– short distances (less than 7-8 km)
repeated and with external tempera-
tures below zero;– frequently idling engines or long
distance low speed driving (e.g. door-
to-door deliveries) or in case of a long
term inactivity;
– driving in the city;
carry out the following checks more
frequently than required in the Service
Schedule:
– check front disk brake pad condi-
tions and wear;– check cleanness of locks, bonnet
and boot and lever cleanness and lu-
brication;
– sight inspect the conditions of: en-
gine, gearbox, transmission, pipes and
hoses (exhaust - fuel - brakes), rubber
parts (boots, sleeves, bushes, etc.);
– check battery charge and fluid lev-
el (electrolyte);
– visual check on various drive belt
conditions;

CAR MAINTENANCE

Do not let the power
steering fluid come into
contact with hot engine
parts. It catches fire very easily.The brake fluid is poiso-
nous and very corrosive.
In the event of accidental
contact, immediately wash the
affected parts with water and
mild soap and rinse under run-
ning water. Immediately call a
doctor if the fluid is swallowed.
Oil consumption is ex-
tremely low. If the oil lev-
el needs topping up again
in a short period of time, have the
system checked for leakage at a
Fiat Dealership.Make sure that the high-
ly corrosive brake fluid
does not trip onto the
paintwork. If it does, wash it off
immediately with water. BRAKE AND HYDRAULIC

Remove cap Aand check that the
fluid in the reservoir is at the maxi-
mum level.
The symbol πon the
container indicates syn-
thetic brake fluid distin-
guishing it from mineral fluid. Us-
ing mineral type fluid would dam-
age the special rubber braking
system gaskets beyond repair.

AIR CLEANER
The air cleaner is connected to tem-
perature and air flow sensors which
send the electrical signals needed for
the correct system injection and start-
ing to the control unit.
For this reason and to limit con-
sumption and exhaust emissions the
air cleaner must always be efficient. IMPORTANTBrake fluid is hy-
groscopic (meaning it absorbs humid-
ity). This is why the fluid should be
changed more frequently than shown
in the Service Schedule if the vehicle is
mainly driven in areas with a high per-
centage of humidity in the air.If the following filter re-
placement operations are
not carried out in the cor-
rect way and without taking the
necessary precautions, the vehi-
cle driving safety may be com-
promised.
The filter replacement
procedure is just for in-
formation. Go to a Fiat
Dealership to carry it out in the
correct way.
If the car is often used in
dusty roads, you should
change the filter element
more frequently than shown in
the Service Schedule.
The cleaner can be dam-
aged if it is cleaned and
consequently the engine
can be damaged.
