160)Do not travel if the windscreen washer
reservoir is empty: using the windscreen
washer is essential for improving visibility.
Repeated operation of the system without
fluid could damage or cause rapid
deterioration of some system components.
161)Certain commercial additives for
windscreen washer fluids are inflammable.
The engine compartment contains hot
components which may set it on fire.
162)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. In the case of swallowing
immediately call a doctor.
163)The symbol
, which is on the
container, indicates a synthetic brake fluid,
which is different from a mineral fluid.
Use of a mineral-based fluid will damage
the special rubber seals of the braking
system beyond repair.
164)Battery fluid is poisonous and
corrosive. Avoid contact with the skin and
eyes. Keep naked flames or possible
sources of sparks away from the battery:
risk of explosion or fire.
165)Using the battery when the fluid is too
low can damage it irreparably and generate
a risk of explosion.
166)When performing any operation on
the battery or near it, always protect your
eyes with special goggles.
WARNING
58)Be careful not to confuse the various
types of fluids while topping up: they
are not compatible with each other!
Topping up with an unsuitable fluid could
severely damage your vehicle.
59)The oil level should never exceed the
MAX mark.
60)Do not add oil with specifications other
than those of the oil already in the engine.
61)PARAFLU
UP
anti-freeze is used in
the engine cooling system. Use fluid of the
same type as that contained in the cooling
system for any top-ups. PARAFLU
UP
cannot be mixed with any other type of
fluid. If this happens, do not start the
engine under any circumstances
and contact a Fiat Dealership.
62)Avoid allowing brake fluid, which is
extremely corrosive, to come into contact
with painted areas. Should it happen, wash
immediately with water.
63)If the vehicle must remain unused for a
long time at a very low temperature,
remove the battery and take it to a warm
place, to avoid freezing.
64)Incorrect assembly of electrical and
electronic accessories may cause severe
damage to your vehicle. Go to a Fiat
Dealership if you want to install accessories
(e.g. anti-theft, radio phone, etc.): they will
suggest the most suitable devices and
advise you whether a higher capacity
battery needs to be installed.
WARNING
4)The used engine oil and the filter that
has been replaced contain substances that
are harmful to the environment. It is
advisable to contact a Fiat Dealership to
have the oil and filters changed.
5)Used transmission fluid contains
substances that are harmful to the
environment. It is advisable to contact a
Fiat Dealership to have the fluid changed.
6)Batteries contain substances which
are very dangerous for the environment.
For battery replacement, contact a Fiat
Dealership.
