IMPORTANT
29) When topping up, take care not
to mix up the various types of
fluids: they are not compatible
with each other and could
seriously damage the car.
30) Do not add oil with specifications
other than those of the oil already
in the engine.
31) PARAFLU
UPanti-freeze is used
in the engine cooling system. Use
the same fluid as in the cooling
system when topping up.
PARAFLU
UPcannot be mixed with
any other type of fluid. If this
happens, do not start the engine
under any circumstances and
contact an Abarth Dealership.
32) Avoid allowing brake fluid, which
is extremely corrosive, to come
into contact with painted areas.
Should it happen, wash
immediately with water.
IMPORTANT
3) Used engine oil and oil filters
contain substances which are
harmful to the environment. You
are advised to go to an Abarth
Dealership to have the oil and
filters changed.
WARNING
130) Never smoke while working in
the engine compartment: gas
and flammable vapours may be
present, with the risk of fire.
131) Be very careful when working in
the engine compartment when
the engine is hot: you may get
burned. Remember that the fan
may start up if the engine is hot:
this could injure you. Scarves, ties
and other loose clothing may be
pulled by moving parts.132) The cooling system is
pressurised. If necessary, only
replace the cap with another
original one or the operation of
the system may be adversely
affected. Do not remove the
reservoir cap when the engine is
hot: risk of burns.
133) 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.
134) Brake fluid is poisonous and
highly corrosive. In the event of
accidental contact, immediately
wash the affected parts with
water and mild soap. Then rinse
thoroughly. Call a doctor
immediately if swallowed.
135) The
symbol on the reservoir
identifies synthetic brake fluids,
distinguishing them from the
mineral type. Use of a mineral
type fluid will damage the special
rubber seals of the braking
system beyond repair.
