radiator FIAT 500E 2013 2.G Owners Manual

WARNING!
•Take care to avoid the radiator cooling fan when-
ever the hood is raised. It can start anytime the
ignition switch is ON. You can be injured by
moving fan blades.
• Remove any metal jewelry such as rings, watch
bands and bracelets that could make an inadvertent
electrical contact. You could be seriously injured.
• Batteries contain sulfuric acid that can burn your
skin or eyes and generate hydrogen gas which is
flammable and explosive. Keep open flames or
sparks away from the battery.
1. Set the parking brake, place the transmission into PARK and turn the ignition to LOCK.
2. Turn off the heater, radio, and all unnecessary electri- cal accessories.

WHAT TO DO IN EMERGENCIES 275

As long as the vehicle operating temperature is satisfac-
tory, the coolant bottles need only be checked once a
month.
When additional coolant (antifreeze) is needed to main-
tain the proper level, it should be added to the coolant
bottles. Do not overfill.Check the Power Electronics and Battery Thermal Man-
agement Systems coolant (antifreeze) protection every 12
months (before the onset of freezing weather, where
applicable).
Maintain coolant (antifreeze) concentration at a mini-
mum of 50% MOPAR® Antifreeze/Coolant 10 Year/
150,000 Mile Formula OAT (Organic Additive Technol-
ogy) and distilled/deionized water for proper corrosion
protection.
Check the coolant bottles tubing for brittle rubber, crack-
ing, tears, cuts and tightness of the connection at the
bottles and radiator. Inspect the entire system for leaks.
Check the front of the A/C condenser for any accumu-
lation of bugs, leaves, etc. If dirty, clean by gently
spraying water from a garden hose vertically down the
face of the condenser.

NOTE:DO NOT REMOVE THE COOLANT PRESSURE
CAP WHEN THE COOLING SYSTEM IS HOT.WARNING!
You or others can be badly burned by hot coolant
(antifreeze) or steam from your radiator. If you see or
hear steam coming from under the hood, do not open
the hood until the radiator has had time to cool.
Never try to open a cooling system pressure cap
when the radiator is hot.
Power Electronics and Battery Thermal
Management Systems — Cooling Pressure Caps
The caps must be fully tightened to prevent loss of
coolant (antifreeze).
The caps should be inspected and cleaned if there is any
accumulation of foreign material on the sealing surfaces.

CAUTION!(Continued)
•Do not use water alone or alcohol-based coolant
(antifreeze) products. Do not use additional rust
inhibitors or antirust products, as they may not be
compatible with the radiator coolant and may plug
the radiator.
• This vehicle has not been designed for use with
propylene glycol-based coolant (antifreeze). Use of
propylene glycol-based coolant (antifreeze) is not
recommended.
Adding Coolant
Your vehicle has been built with cooling systems that
allow extended maintenance intervals. This coolant (an-
tifreeze) can be used up to ten years or 150,000 miles
(240,000 km) before replacement. To prevent reducing this extended maintenance period, it is important that
you use the same coolant (antifreeze) throughout the life
of your vehicle.
Please review these recommendations for using Organic
Additive Technology (OAT) coolant (antifreeze).
When adding coolant (antifreeze):
•
The manufacturer recommends using MOPAR®
Antifreeze/Coolant 10 Year/150,000 Mile Formula
OAT (Organic Additive Technology).
• Mix a minimum solution of 50% OAT coolant (anti-
freeze) and distilled water. Use higher concentrations
(not to exceed 70%) if temperatures below -34ºF (-37ºC)
are anticipated.
