ENGINE COOLANT
The coolant level must be checked when the engine
is cold and must be between the MIN. and MAX.
marks on the reservoir.
If the level is too low, undo the reservoir plug C (see
previous pages) and add the fluid described in the
chapter "Technical Specifications".
PARAFLU
UP
anti-freeze is used in the
engine cooling system. Use the same fluid
as in the cooling system when topping
up. PARAFLU
UP
cannot be mixed with any other
type of fluid. If this happens, do not start the
engine and contact a Fiat Dealership.
WARNING
The cooling system is pressurised. If
necessary, replace the plug with another
of equivalent quality and the same
specifications as the original, otherwise the
efficiency of the system may be adversely
affected. Do not remove the reservoir plug when
the engine is hot : you risk scalding yourself.
WINDSCREEN/REAR WINDOW WASHER
FLUID
If the level is too low, raise the reservoir plug D (see
previous pages) and add the fluid described in the
chapter "Technical Specifications".
WARNING
Do not travel with the windscreen
washer reservoir empty: the windscreen
washer is essential for improving visibility. Some
commercial windscreen washer additives are
flammable.The engine compartment contains
hot components which may set it on fire.
BRAKE FLUID
Check that the liquid is at the maximum level (the
fluid level in the reservoir must not exceed the
MAX. mark).
If the fluid level in the tank is too low, undo the
reservoir plug E (see previous pages) and add the
fluid described in the chapter "Technical
Specifications".
NoteCarefully clean the plug of the reservoir E and
the surrounding surface.
When opening the plug, make sure that no dirt gets
into the reservoir.
For topping-up, always use a funnel with integrated
filter with mesh equal to or lower than 0.12 mm.
IMPORTANT Brake fluid is hygroscopic (i.e. it
absorbs moisture). For this reason, if the car is
mainly used in areas with a high degree of
atmospheric humidity, the fluid must be replaced at
more frequent intervals than specified in the
“Scheduled Servicing Plan”.

Prevent brake fluid, which is highly
corrosive, from coming into contact with
painted parts. Should it happen,
immediately wash with water.
WARNING
Brake fluid is poisonous and highly
corrosive. In the event of accidental
contact , immediately wash the affected parts
with water and neutral soap.Then rinse
thoroughly. Call a doctor immediately if
swallowed.
WARNING
The symbol
on the container indicates
a synthetic brake fluid, distinguishing it
from the mineral type. Using a mineral-type
fluid will damage the special rubber seals of the
braking system beyond repair.

Incorrect installation of electrical and
electronic devices may cause severe
damage to your car. After purchasing your
car, if you wish to install any accessories
(anti-theft , car phone, etc .), contact a Fiat
Dealership, which will suggest the most
appropriate devices for your vehicle, and will,
most importantly, advise you if a higher capacity
battery needs to be installed.Batteries contain substances which are
very dangerous for the environment . For
battery replacement , contact a Fiat
Dealership.
WARNING
If the car will be unused for an extended
period of time in extremely cold
weather conditions, remove the battery and
store it in a heated area to prevent it from
freezing.
WARNING
Always wear appropriate goggles when
working on or near the battery.
BRAKESThe car is equipped with 4 mechanical wear
detection systems for brake pads: one for each wheel
assembly.
When the brake linings are about to wear out,
pressing the brake pedal, a light hiss is heard: this
indication lasts around 100 km (depending on the
driving style and the route type).
In these circumstances it is still possible, proceeding
with caution, to carry on driving.
In any case, contact a Fiat Dealership as soon as
possible to have the worn brake pads replaced.
