129) Do not travel with the
windscreen washer fluid reservoir
empty: the windscreen washer
is essential for improving visibility.
Some commercial windscreen
washer additives are flammable.
The engine compartment contains
hot parts which could cause a
fire if they come into contact with
these additives.
130) 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. Consult a doctor
immediately if you swallow the
fluid.
131) The symbol
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 braking system
beyond repair.
132) Prevent power steering fluid
from coming into contact with
hot engine parts: it is flammable.
IMPORTANT
31) 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 vehicle.
32) Do not add oil with specifications
other than those of the oil already
in the engine.
33) 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
and contact a Fiat Dealership.
34) Avoid allowing brake fluid, which
is extremely corrosive, to come
into contact with painted areas.
Should it happen, wash
immediately with water.
35) Do not press the power steering
end of travel lock for longer than 8
consecutive seconds with the
engine running because it will
cause noise and risk damaging
the system.
IMPORTANT
3) Used engine oil and oil filters
contain substances which are
harmful to the environment. It is
advisable to have oil and filters
changed by a Fiat Dealership,
where they will be disposed of
properly and in accordance with
the law.
4) Power steering fluid consumption
is extremely low; if another top-up
is required after only a short
period of time, have the system
checked for leaks at a Fiat
Dealership.
