Never smoke while working in the engine
compartment: gas and inflammable
vapours may be present, with the risk of fire.
WARNING
Be careful, when topping-up and take care
not to confuse the various types of fluids:
they are all incompatible with one anoth-
er and could seriously damage the car.

Certain commercial additives for wind-
screen washers are inflammable. The en-
gine compartment contains hot parts which could
start a fire if they come into contact.
WARNING
Prevent brake fluid which is highly corrosive
from coming into contact with painted
parts. Should this occur, immediately wash
with water. Brake fluid is poisonous and highly corro-
sive. In the event of accidental contact, im-
mediately wash the affected parts with water
and neutral soap. Then rinse thoroughly. If swal-
lowed call a doctor straight away.
WARNING
BRAKE FLUID fig. 181
Undo the cap A and check that the liquid contained in the
reservoir is at the maximum level.
Fluid level in the reservoir must not exceed the MAX
mark.
Use the brake fluid shown in the “Fluids and lubricants”
table (see “Technical Specifications”).
NOTE Carefully clean the reservoir cap A and the sur-
rounding surface.
Take great care that impurities do not enter the reservoir
when the cap is opened.
For topping-up, always use a funnel with integrated filter
with mesh equal to or lower than 0.12 mm.
IMPORTANT Brake fluid is hygroscopic (i.e. it absorbs
moisture). For this reason, if the car is mainly used in ar-
eas with a high degree of atmospheric humidity, the fluid
should be replaced at more frequent intervals than spec-
ified in the “Scheduled Servicing Programme”.

and neutral soap. Then rinse thoroughly. Call a
doctor immediately if swallowed.

WINDSCREEN/REAR WINDOW
WIPER/WASHERBLADES
Periodically clean the rubber part using special products;
TUTELA PROFESSIONAL SC 35 is recommended.
Replace the blades if the rubber edge is deformed or worn.
In all cases, it is advisable to replace them approximately once
a year.
A few simple precautions can reduce the possibility of dam-
age to the blades:❒
make sure that the rubber part is not stuck to the wind-
screen at sub-zero temperatures. Use an antifreeze
product to release it if required;
❒
remove any snow from the glass: in addition to pro-
tecting the blades, this prevents effort on the motor
and overheating;
❒
do not operate the windscreen and the rear screen
wipers on dry glass.
RUBBER HOSESAs far as the brake system and fuel rubber hoses are concerned,
follow the “Scheduled Servicing Programme” in this chapter care-
fully.
Ozone, high temperatures and prolonged lack of fluid in the sys-
tem may cause hardening and cracking of the hoses, with pos-
sible leaks. Careful control is therefore necessary.
Driving with worn wiper blades is a serious
hazard, because visibility is reduced in bad
weather.
