2012 FIAT DOBLO COMBI service

BRAKE FLUID fig. 180-181-182-183-184-185
Undo cap E and check that the liquid 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 E and surrounding
surfaces.
When opening the cap, make sure that no dirt gets into
the reservoir.
Always use a funnel with a built-in filter with a mesh of 0.12
mm or less for topping up.
IMPORTANT Brake fluid absorbs moisture. For this rea-
son, if the vehicle is mainly used in areas with a high de-
gree of atmospheric humidity, the fluid should be replaced
at more frequent intervals than specified in the “Service
schedule”.

INDEX
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 π on 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.

ARRANGEMENTS F OR DEALING WITH THE VEHIC LE AT THE EN D OF ITS LIFE
Fiat has been committed for many years to safeguarding the environment t\
hrough the constant improvement of its production
processes and manufacturing products that are increasingly “eco-compa\
tible”.
To give customers the best possible service in terms of respecting envir\
onmental laws and in response to European Directive
2000/53/EC governing vehicles at the end of their life, Fiat is offering\
its customers the opportunity of handing over their
vehicle* at the end of its life without incurring any additional costs.
The European Directive sets out that when the vehicle is handed over the\
last keeper or owner should not incur any expenses
as a result of it having a zero or negative market value.
In all European Union countries, until 1st January 2007, only vehicles r\
egistered after 1st July 2002 were collected free of
charge, while since 2007 collection has been free of charge irrespective\
of the year of registration as long as the vehicle
contains its basic components (in particular, the engine and bodywork)\
and has no additional waste.
To hand your vehicle over at the end of its life without extra cost, go \
to one of our Dealerships or Fiat-authorised collection
and scrapping centres.
These centres have been carefully chosen to offer high quality service f\
or the collection, treatment and recycling of unused
vehicles with respect to the environment.
You can find further information on these collection and scrapping centr\
es either from a Fiat or Fiat Commercial Vehicle
Dealership, by calling the freephone number 00800 3428 0000 or by going \
on the Fiat website.
