160)Do not travel if the windscreen washer
reservoir is empty: using the windscreen
washer is essential for improving visibility.

fluid could damage or cause rapid
deterioration of some system components.

corrosive. In the event of accidental

the special rubber seals of the braking
system beyond repair.

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

types of fluids while topping up: they
are not compatible with each other!
Topping up with an unsuitable fluid could
severely damage your vehicle.

MAX mark.
60)Do not add oil with specifications other
than those of the oil already in the engine.

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.
