WARNING
133)Never smoke while working in the
engine compartment: gas and inflammable
vapours may be present, with the risk of
fire.
134)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.
135)The cooling system is pressurised. If
necessary, only replace the plug with
another original or the operation of the
system may be adversely affected. Do not
remove the reservoir plug when the engine
is hot: you risk scalding yourself.
136)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 components which may set it
on fire.
137)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.138)The
symbol on the reservoir
identifies synthetic brake fluids,
distinguishing them from the mineral type.
Use of mineral type fluids will damage
the special rubber seals of the braking
system beyond repair.

for road use, in compliance with the
current regulations. Car use in the track

Manufacturer from any responsibility on
the product and may expose people
to serious risks.
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 existing in
the engine.
31)PARAFLU

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)Prevent brake fluid, which is highly
corrosive, from coming into contact with
painted parts. Should it happen,
immediately wash with water.
WARNING

substances which are harmful to the
environment. You are advised to go to an
Abarth Dealership to have the oil and filters
