NOTE Carefully clean the cap of reservoir
Aand the surrounding surface.
When opening the cap,
make sure that no
dirt gets into the reservoir.
For topping up always use a
funnel with
built in filter (mesh smaller than or equal
to 0.12 mm).
IMPORTANT Brake fluid absorbs
mois-
ture. For this reason, if the car is mainlyused in areas with a high degree of at-
mospheric humidity, the fluid should be
replaced at more frequent intervals than
specified in the “Service schedule”.
fig. 7F0R0138m
Do not travel with the wind-
screen washing reservoir
empty: the windscreen washer is fun-
damental to improve visibility.
WARNING
Some commercial wind-
screen washer additives are
flammable. The engine compartment
contains
hot parts which could start
a fire if they come into contact.
WARNING
Prevent brake fluid which is
highly corrosive from coming
into contact with painted
parts. Wash with water im-
mediately if this should happen.
Brake fluid is poisonous and
highly corrosive. In the case
of accidental contact, wash the parts
with water and mild soap and rinse
with plenty of water. Call a doctor
immediately if swallowed.
WARNING
Symbol on the contain in-
dicates a synthetic brake flu-
id, which is different from a mineral
fluid. Use of a mineral type fluid will
damage the special rubber seals of
the braking system beyond repair.
WARNINGBRAKE FLUID fig. 7
Release cap A: check that the liquid con-
tained in the tank
is at the maximum level.
Fluid level in the reservoir must not ex-
ceed the MAXmark.
Use the brake fluid shown in the “Fluids
and lubricants” table (see “Technical Spec-
ifications”).

The total intake of these systems (facto-
ry and after-market) must be less than 0.6
mA x Ah (of the battery) as shown in the
following table:
Battery Maximum
permissible
loadless
consumption
40 Ah 24 mA
50 Ah 30 mA
60 Ah 36 mA
If after buying the car, you want to install
electric accessories which require per-
manent electric supply (alarm, etc.) con-
tact Fiat Dealership whose qualified
personnel, in addition to suggesting the most
suitable devices, will evaluate the overall
electric absorption, checking whether the
car’s electric system is capable of with-
standing the load required, or whether it
should be integrated with a more power-
ful battery.
Since these devices continue absorbing en-
ergy even when the ignition key is off, they
gradually run down the battery. USEFUL ADVICE FOR
LENGTHENING THE LIFE OF
YOUR BATTERY
To avoid draining your battery and length-
en its life, observe the following indica-
tions:
when you park the car, ensure the
doors, tailgate and bonnet are closed
properly;
switch off all lights inside the car: the
car is however equipped with a system
which switches all internal lights off au-
tomatically;
do not keep accessories (e.g. sound sys-
tem, hazard lights, etc.) switched on for
a long time when the engine is not run-
ning;
before performing any operation on the
electrical system, disconnect the bat-
tery negative cable;
make sure that battery terminals are al-
ways be perfectly tight.
Always wear the proper pro-
tective eyewear when work-
ing on the battery or near it.
