technical data FIAT BRAVO 2012 2.G User Guide

Check tyre pressure on pressure gauge F fig. 154
with compressor off to obtain a more precise
reading;❒if after 5 minutes it is still impossible to reach at
least 1.5 bar, disengage the compressor from the
valve and power socket, then move the car
forwards by approx. 10 metres in order to
distribute the sealing fluid inside the tyre evenly,
then repeat the inflation operation;
❒if after this operation it is still impossible after 5
minutes to reach at least 1.8 bar, do not start
driving since the tyre is excessively damaged and
the quick tyre repair kit cannot guarantee proper
hold, contact a Fiat Dealership;
❒if reaching the tyre pressure specified in
paragraph “Inflation pressure” in chapter
“Technical Data”, start driving immediately;
❒after having driven for about 10 minutes, stop
and recheck the tyre pressure; remember to
apply the handbrake;
❒if, on the other hand, the pressure is at least 1.8
bar, restore the correct pressure (with the
engine running and the handbrake applied) and
resume driving;
❒drive with the utmost care to the nearest Fiat
Dealership.fig. 153

WARNING
Do not travel with the windscreen
washer 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.
BRAKE FLUID
Undo the cap A shown in the figure: fig. 210check
that the fluid contained in the reservoir is at the
maximum level. The fluid level in the reservoir must
not exceed the MAX mark. If you need to top up,
you should use the brake fluid shown in the "Fluids
and lubricants" table (see chapter "Technical data").
When opening the cap A, make sure that no dirtgets into the reservoir. Always use a funnel with a
built-in filter with a mesh of 0.12 mm or less for
topping up.
IMPORTANT Brake fluid is hygroscopic (i.e. it
absorbs moisture). For this reason, if the car is
mainly used in areas with a high degree of
atmospheric humidity, the fluid should be replaced
at more frequent intervals than specified in the
“Scheduled Servicing Plan”.
Prevent brake fluid, which is highly
corrosive, from coming into contact with
painted parts. Should it happen,
immediately wash with water.
