radiator FIAT 500E 2014 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 285

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

WARNING!(Continued)
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.
NOTE:
•The pressure caps on the reservoirs are unique and
rated at 5 PSI caps.
• Use only Mopar® replacement parts.

WARNING!
•The warning words “DO NOT OPEN HOT” on the
cooling system pressure cap are a safety precaution.
Never add coolant (antifreeze) when the cooling
system is overheated. Do not loosen or remove the
cap to cool an overheated cooling system. Heat
causes pressure to build up in the cooling system.
To prevent scalding or injury, do not remove the
pressure cap while the system is hot or under
pressure.
• Do not use a pressure cap other than the one
specified for your vehicle. Personal injury or ve-
hicle damage may result.
Selection Of Coolant
Refer to “Fluids, Lubricants, and Genuine Parts” in
“Maintaining Your Vehicle” for further information.
CAUTION!
• Mixing of coolant (antifreeze) other than specified
Organic Additive Technology (OAT) coolant (anti-
freeze), may result in cooling system damage and
may decrease corrosion protection. Organic Addi-
tive Technology (OAT) coolant is different and
should not be mixed with Hybrid Organic Additive
Technology (HOAT) coolant (antifreeze). If a non-
OAT coolant (antifreeze) is introduced into the
cooling system in an emergency, it should be re-
placed with the specified coolant (antifreeze) as
soon as possible.
• 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.

VEHICLE STORAGE
The preferred way of storing your vehicle for a long
period of time is to leave it attached to a Level 1 or Level
2 charger. The vehicle has a wake-up feature that will
wake the system every 3 weeks and do a maintenance
charge on the 12 Volt battery and also top off the high
voltage battery if necessary.
Anytime you store your vehicle, or keep it out of service
(e.g., vacation) for two weeks or more, run the air
conditioning system at idle for about five minutes in the
fresh air and high blower setting. This will ensure
adequate system lubrication to minimize the possibility
of compressor damage when the air conditioning system
is started again.
