2014 FIAT 500E coolant

NOTE:Mixing coolant (antifreeze) types will decrease
the life of the Power Electronics and Battery Thermal
Management Systems coolant (antifreeze) and will re-
quire more frequent coolant (antifreeze) changes.
Power Electronics and Battery Thermal
Management Systems — Drain, Flush And Refill
Refer to “Maintenance Schedules” in Section 7 of this
supplement for the proper maintenance intervals.
If the coolant (antifreeze) is dirty or contains a consider-
able amount of sediment, clean and flush with a reliable
cooling system cleaner. Follow with a thorough rinsing to
remove all deposits and chemicals. Properly dispose of
old coolant (antifreeze) solution.
CAUTION!
It is recommended to have the cooling systems ser-
viced at your authorized dealer. Failure to do so could
result in poor cooling system performance and/or
vehicle damage.
Disposal Of Used Power Electronics and Battery
Thermal Management Systems Coolant
Used antifreeze is a regulated substance requiring proper
disposal. Check with your local authorities to determine
the disposal rules for your community. To prevent inges-
tion by animals or children, do not store antifreeze in
open containers or allow it to remain in puddles on the
ground. If ingested by a child, contact a physician
immediately. Clean up any ground spills immediately.

Points To Remember
If an examination of your underhood compartment
shows no evidence of cooler or hose leaks, the vehicle
may be safely driven.
•Do not overfill the coolant recovery bottles.
• Check coolant (antifreeze) freeze point in the coolant
recovery bottles. If coolant (antifreeze) needs to be
added, contents of coolant recovery bottles must also
be protected against freezing.
• If frequent coolant (antifreeze) additions are required,
or if the level in the coolant recovery bottles does not
drop when the engine cools, the cooling system should
be pressure tested for leaks. •
Maintain coolant (antifreeze) concentration at 50%
OAT coolant (antifreeze) (minimum) and distilled/
deionized water for proper corrosion protection of
your engine which contains aluminum components.
• Make sure that the coolant control systems recovery
bottles overflow hoses are not kinked or obstructed.
• Keep the front of the coolant control systems clean. If
your vehicle is equipped with air conditioning, keep
the front of the condenser clean.
Maintenance-Free Battery 12 Volt
Your vehicle is equipped with a maintenance-free 12 Volt
battery. You will never have to add water, nor is periodic
maintenance required.

3. Grab the bottom of the wiper blade and rotate itforward to unsnap the blade pivot pin from the wiper
blade holder. 4. Install the wiper blade pivot pin into the wiper blade
holder at the end of the wiper arm, and firmly press
the wiper blade until it snaps into place.
5. Lower the wiper blade and snap the pivot cap into place.
Adding Washer Fluid
The windshield washer fluid reservoir is located in the
underhood compartment, and the fluid level should be
checked at regular intervals. Fill the reservoir with wind-
shield washer solvent (not coolant/ antifreeze). Refer to
“Underhood Compartment” in “Maintaining Your Ve-
hicle” for further information.

VEHICLE STORAGE
The preferred way of storing your vehicle for a long
period of time is to leave it attached to a Level 1 or Level
2 charger. The vehicle has a wake-up feature that will
wake the system every 3 weeks and do a maintenance
charge on the 12 Volt battery and also top off the high
voltage battery if necessary.
Anytime you store your vehicle, or keep it out of service
(e.g., vacation) for two weeks or more, run the air
conditioning system at idle for about five minutes in the
fresh air and high blower setting. This will ensure
adequate system lubrication to minimize the possibility
of compressor damage when the air conditioning system
is started again.
