181) 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 might
be pulled by moving parts.
182) The cooling system is
pressurised. If necessary, only
replace the plug with another
original one or the operation of
the system may be adversely
affected. Do not remove the
reservoir plug when the engine is
hot: risk of burns.
183) Do not travel with the
windscreen washer reservoir
empty: the windscreen washer is
essential for improving visibility.
184) Some commercial windscreen
washer additives are flammable.
The engine compartment contains
hot parts which could start a fire
on contact.
185) Do not release the cap from
the extension without previously
extracting the system using the
ring.186) 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.
187) The
symbol on the container
indicates a synthetic brake fluid,
which is different from a mineral
fluid. Using a mineral fluid will
damage the special rubber seals
of the braking system beyond
repair.
188) Prevent power steering fluid
from coming into contact with
hot engine parts: it is flammable.
IMPORTANT
3) 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.
AIR CLEANER/
POLLEN FILTER

Windscreen (washer)
fig. 248
If the jet of fluid is inadequate, firstly
check that there is fluid in the
reservoir: (see "Checking levels" in
this chapter).
Then check that the nozzle holes
are not clogged; use a needle
to unblock them if necessary.
The washer jets should be
positioned by adjusting the angle of
the sprays using a small straight-
headed screwdriver.
The jets should be directed at
about a third of the height from the
top edge of the windscreen.HEADLIGHT WASHERS

cleanliness of nozzles at regular
intervals.
The headlight washers come on
automatically when the windscreen
washer is operated with the low
beams on.

wiper blades is a serious hazard,
because visibility is reduced in
bad weather conditions.
IMPORTANT

wiper with the blades lifted from
the windscreen.
