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.
79J148
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.

STEERING
Steering wheel play “c”:
0 – 30 mm (0.0 – 1.2 in.)
Check the play of the steering wheel by
gently turning it from left to right and mea-
suring the distance that it moves before
you feel slight resistance. The play should
be between the specified values.
Check that the steering wheel turns eas-
ily and smoothly without rattling by turn-
ing it all the way to the right and to the left
while driving very slowly in an open area.
If the amount of free play is outside the
specification or you find anything else to
be wrong, an inspection must be per-
formed by your Fiat Dealership. PARKING BRAKE
Ratchet tooth specification “b”:
4th – 9th
Lever pull force (1):
200 N (20 kg, 44 lbs)
Check the parking brake for proper ad-
justment by counting the number of clicks
made by the ratchet teeth as you slowly
pull up on the parking brake lever to the
point of full engagement. The parking
brake lever should stop between the spec-
ified ratchet teeth and the rear wheels
should be securely locked. If the parking
brake is not properly adjusted or the
brakes drag after the lever has been fully
released, have the parking brake inspect-
ed and/ or adjusted by your Fiat Dealer-
ship.

❒Turn off all vehicle accessories, except
those necessary for safety reasons (for
example, headlights or hazard lights).
❒Make jump lead connections as follows:
– Connect one end of the first jump
lead to the positive (+) terminal of
the flat battery (1).
– Connect the other end to the posi-
tive (+) terminal of the booster bat-
tery (2).
– Connect one end of the second jump
lead to the negative (–) terminal of
the booster battery (2).
– Make the final connection to an un-
painted, heavy metal part (i. e. engine
hook (3)) of the engine of the vehi-
cle with the flat battery (1).
❒If the booster battery you are using is
fitted to another vehicle, start the en-
gine of the vehicle with the booster bat-
tery. Run the engine at moderate
speed.
❒Start the engine of the vehicle with the
flat battery.
❒Remove the jump leads in the exact re-
verse order in which you connected
them. IMPORTANT Your vehicle should not be
started by pushing or towing. This start-
ing method could result in permanent
damage to the catalytic converter. Use
jump leads to start a vehicle with a weak
or flat battery.
WHEN JUMP STARTING YOUR
VEHICLE, USE THE
FOLLOWING PROCEDURE
❒Use only a 12 volt battery to jump start
your vehicle. Position the good 12 V
battery close to your vehicle so that the
jump leads will reach both batteries.
When using a battery installed on an-
other vehicle, DO NOT LET THE VE-
HICLES TOUCH. Set the parking
brakes fully on both vehicles.
– To avoid harm to yourself
or damage to your vehicle or
battery, follow the jump starting in-
structions below precisely and in order.
If you are in doubt, call for qualified
road service.
WARNING

Never connect the jump lead
directly to the negative (–)
terminal of the discharged battery, or
an explosion may occur.

When washing the vehicle, park it where
direct sunlight does not fall on it and fol-
low the instructions below:
❒Flush the underside of body and wheel
housings with pressurized water to re-
move mud and debris. Use plenty of wa-
ter.
IMPORTANT
When washing the vehicle:
❒Avoid directing steam or hot water of
more than 80°C (176°F) on plastic
parts.
❒To avoid damaging engine components,
do not use pressurized water in the en-
gine compartment.
❒Do not pour the water on the battery.
And wipe off the water which remains
on the battery. The water entering in-
side the battery possibly causes fluid
leakage.
❒Rinse the body to loosen the dirt. Re-
move dirt and mud from the body ex-
terior with running water. You may use
a soft sponge or brush. Do not use hard
materials which can scratch the paint
or plastic. Remember that the headlight
covers or lenses are made of plastic in
many cases.
IMPORTANT To avoid damage to the
paint or plastic surface, do not wipe the
dirt off without ample water. Be sure to
follow above procedure.
❒Wash the entire exterior with a mild
detergent or vehicle wash soap using
a sponge or soft cloth. The sponge or
cloth should be frequently soaked in the
soap solution.
IMPORTANT When using a commercial
vehicle wash product, observe the cau-
tions specified by the manufacturer. Nev-
er use strong household detergents or
soaps.
– Never attempt to wash
and wax your vehicle with
the engine running.
– When cleaning the underside of the
body and fender, where there may
be sharp-edged parts, you should
wear gloves and a long sleeved shirt
to protect your hands and arms from
being cut.
– After washing your vehicle, care-
fully test the brakes before driving to
make sure they have maintained
their normal effectiveness.
