WASHER FLUID
Open the washer fluid reservoir cap and
check the level of washer fluid with the
dipstick. If the level is low, replenish the
container with washer fluid.
NOTE The washer fluid container
server serves the windscreen and
headlamps (if so equipped).
During cold weather
To ensure proper operation of the
washers at low temperatures, use a
fluid containing an anti-freezing agent.
317) 318)
WARNING
317)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.
318)Some commercial additives for
windscreen washer fluid are flammable.
The engine compartment contains hot
components which may start a fire.
BRAKE FLUID
To check the fluid level
Check the brake fluid level in the
reservoir. The brake fluid level must be
between the “MAX” and “MIN” marks
on the reservoir.
The brake fluid level is monitored by a
float. When the brake fluid level falls
below the “MIN” mark, the brake fluid
warning lamp lights up.
The fluid level falls slightly with wear of
the brake pads, but this does not
indicate any abnormality.
If the brake fluid level falls markedly in a
short length of time, it indicates leaks
from the brake system. If this occurs,
we recommend you to have the vehicle
checked.

Fluid type
Use brake fluid conforming to DOT3 or
DOT4. The brake fluid is hygroscopic.
Too much moisture in the brake fluid will
adversely affect the brake system,
reducing the brake performance.
In addition, the brake fluid reservoir is
equipped with a special cap to prevent
the entrance of air, and this cap should
not be removed.

WARNING
319)Take care in handling brake fluid as it
is harmful to the eyes, may irritate your skin
and also damage to painted surfaces.
320)Use only the specified brake fluid. Do
not mix or add different brand of brake fluid
to prevent chemical reaction. Do not let
any petroleum-based fluid touch, mix with,
or get into the brake fluid. This will damage
the seals.
321)Clean the filler cap before removing
and close the cap securely after
maintenance.
322)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.
IMPORTANT
152)Keep the reservoir tank cap closed to
prevent the brake fluid from deteriorating
except maintenance.
153)Prevent brake fluid, which is highly
corrosive, from coming into contact with
painted parts. Should it happen,
immediately wash with water.
154)The symbol
, on the brake fluid
container indicates if a brake fluid is
synthetic or mineral-based. Use of mineral
type fluids will damage the special rubber
seals of the braking system beyond repair.
CLUTCH FLUID
To check the fluid level
The clutch fluid in the master cylinder
should be checked when performing
other underhood service. In addition,
the system should be checked for
leakage at the same time.
Check to make certain that the clutch
fluid level is always between the “MAX”
and “MIN” level markings on the fluid
reservoir.
A rapid fluid loss indicates a leak in the
clutch system which should be
inspected by a Fiat Dealership or
another specialist and repaired
immediately.

Fluid type
Brake fluid conforming to DOT 3 or
DOT 4 should be used. The reservoir
cap must be fully tightened to avoid
contamination from foreign matter or
moisture. DO NOT ALLOW
PETROLEUM- BASED FLUID TO
CONTACT, MIX WITH, OR OTHERWISE
CONTAMINATE THE BRAKE FLUID.
SEAL DAMAGE WILL RESULT.
323)
WARNING
323)Clutch 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.
POWER STEERING
FLUID
324)
3)
To check the fluid level
Check the fluid level in the reservoir
while the engine is idling. Check to
make certain that the power steering
fluid level is always between the “MAX”
and “MIN” level markings on the fluid
reservoir and refill the fluid, if necessary.
WARNING
324)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.

169)After washing the vehicle, drive the
vehicle slowly while lightly depressing the
brake pedal several times in order to dry
out the brakes. Leaving the brakes wet
could result in reduced braking
performance. Also, there is a possibility that
they could freeze up or become inoperative
due to rust, rendering the vehicle unable to
move.
170)Using an automatic car wash, pay
attention to the following items, referring to
the operation manual or consulting a car
wash operator. If the following procedure is
not followed, it could result in damage to
your vehicle: 1 – the outside rear-view
mirrors are retracted. 2 – The antenna is
removed. 3 – The wiper arms are secured
in place with tape.4–Ifyour vehicle has
rain sensor wipers, place the wiper switch
lever in the “OFF” position to deactivate the
rain sensor.
171)Waxes containing high abrasive
compounds should not be used.
172)Do not use a scrubbing brush or other
hard tools as they may damage the plastic
part surface.
173)Do not bring the plastic parts into
contact with petrol, light oil, brake fluids,
engine oils, greases, paint thinners and
sulphuric acid (battery electrolyte) which
may crack, stain or discolour the plastic
parts. If they touch the plastic parts, wipe
them off with soft cloth, chamois or the like
and an aqueous solution of neutral
detergent then immediately rinse the
affected parts with water.
174)Do not use a brush or other hard
implement on the wheels. Doing so could
scratch the wheels.175)Do not use any cleaner that contains
an abrasive substance or is acidic or
alkaline. Doing so could cause the coating
on the wheels to peel or become
discoloured or stained.
176)Do not directly apply hot water using a
steam cleaner or by any other means.
177)Contact with seawater and road
deicer can cause corrosion. Rinse off such
substances as soon as possible.
IMPORTANT
6)Detergents pollute the environment. Only
wash your vehicle in areas equipped to
collect and treat wastewater from this type
of activity.
