2011 FIAT STRADA brake fluid

153
IMPORTANT Brake fluid is
hygroscopic (i.e. it absorbs
moisture). For this reason, if the
vehicle 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.AIR CLEANER
Air cleaner replacement must be
carried out at a Fiat Dealership.
POLLEN FILTER
Pollen filter replacement must be
carried out at a Fiat Dealership.
The symbol πon the
container indicates
synthetic brake fluid,
distinguishing it from the
mineral kind. Use of a mineral
type fluid will damage the
special rubber seals of the
braking system beyond repair.
WARNING

158
Tyres age even if they are not used
much. Cracks in the tread and on
the sidewalls are a sign of ageing. In
any event, have the tyres checked by
specialised personnel if they have
been fitted for longer than 6 years,
so that they can determine whether
they can still be used. Remember to
check the spare wheel with
particular care.
Always fit new replacement tyres.
Do not use any of dubious origin.
The Fiat Strada uses tubeless tyres.
Do not use inner tubes with these
tyres.
If a tyre is changed, also change the
inflation valve.
To allow even wear between the
front and rear tyres, it is advisable to
change them over every 10-15
thousand kilometres, keeping them
on the same side of the vehicle so as
not to reverse the direction of
rotation.RUBBER HOSES
For the rubber hoses of the brake,
power steering and supply system,
follow the Scheduled Servicing Plan
precisely. Ozone, high temperatures
and prolonged lack of fluid in the
system may cause hardening and
cracking of the hoses, with possible
leaks. Careful checking is therefore
necessary.Do not switch tyres
from the right hand side
of the vehicle to the left hand
side, and vice versa.
WARNING
Do not re coat alloy
wheel rims at
temperatures above 150°C. The
mechanical characteristics of
the wheels could be
compromised.
