2010 FIAT PUNTO EVO fluid

224
F0U0288mfig. 210
IMPORTANT Brake fluid absorbs moisture. For this rea-
son, if the car is mainly used in areas with a high degree
of atmospheric humidity, the fluid should be replaced at
more frequent intervals than specified in the “Scheduled
Servicing Plan”. BRAKE FLUID fig. 210
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.
If you do need to top up, use the brake fluid shown in the
“Fluids and lubricants” table (see “Technical Specifica-
tions”).
NB Carefully clean the reservoir cap A and the sur-
rounding surfaces.
When opening the cap, make sure that no dirt gets into
the reservoir.
For topping up, always use a funnel with integrated filter
that has a mesh inferior or equal to 0.12 mm.KNOWING

Prevent brake fluid, which is highly corro-
sive, from coming into contact with paint-
ed parts. Should this occur, immediately
wash with water.
Brake fluid is poisonous and highly corro-
sive. In the event of accidental contact,
wash the parts immediately with water and mild
soap, then rinse with plenty of water. In case of
swallowing, immediately call a doctor.
WARNING
The symbol πon the container indicates
a synthetic brake fluid, which is different
from a mineral fluid. Using a mineral-type fluid
will damage the special rubber seals of the brak-
ing system beyond repair.

WARNING
BATTERY
The battery is of the “limited maintenance” type: under
normal conditions of use, the electrolyte does not need
topping up with distilled water.
CHECKING THE CHARGE
AND THE ELECTROLYTE LEVEL
Inspection operations must be carried out only by spe-
cialised personnel, following the prescriptions contained
in this Owner Handbook. Any top-up operations must
be carried out only by specialised personnel at a Fiat Deal-
ership.
The battery fluid is poisonous and corro-
sive. Avoid contact with the skin and eyes.
Keep naked flames or possible sources of sparks
away from the battery: risk of explosion or fire.
WARNING
Using the battery when the fluid is too low
can damage it irreparably and generate
a risk of explosion.

RUBBER TUBES
As far as the brake system and fuel rubber hoses are con-
cerned, stick closely to the “Scheduled Servicing Plan” in
this section.
Ozone, high temperatures and a prolonged lack of fluid
in the system may cause hardening and cracking of the
tubes, which could result in leaks.
Careful inspections are therefore necessary.

WINDSCREEN WIPER
BLADES
Clean the rubber part regularly using special products;
TUTELA PROFESSIONAL SC35 is recommended.
Replace the blades if the rubber edge is misshapen or
worn. In any event, it is advisable to replace them ap-
proximately 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 frozen to the
windscreen in 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 the electric motor from
overheating;
❒ do not operate the windscreen wipers on dry glass.
Driving with worn wiper blades is a serious
hazard, because visibility is reduced in bad
weather.

SPECIFICATIONS AND RECOMMENDED PRODUCTS
Use Quality specifications of fluids and lubricants Original Replacementfor correct car operation fluids and lubricants interval
Lubricants for
petrol engines
Lubricants for
Diesel engines
For diesel engines, in the event of an emergency in which the original products are not available, lubricants with at
least ACEA C2 performance are acceptable; however, in this case optimum engine performance is not guaranteed
and the lubricants should be replaced with recommended products as soon as possible at a Fiat Dealership.
The use of products with characteristics that are not up to ACEA C3 (for petrol engines) and ACEA C2 (for diesel
engines) standard could cause engine damage not covered by the warranty.
For petrol versions with Multi Air system, the use of lubricants with features below ACEA C3 and SAE grade other
than 5W-40 could cause damage to the engine, not covered by the warranty.
