a mixture of water and TUTELA PRO-
FESSIONAL SC 35, in the following
concentrations:
❒30% TUTELA PROFESSIONAL
SC 35and 70% water in summer;

fig. 11F0Q0666mDo not travel with the wind-
screen washer reservoir emp-
ty. The windscreen washer is funda-
mental for improving visibility.
WARNING
Certain commercial addi-
tives for windscreen washers
are inflammable. The engine com-
partment contains hot components
which may set it on fire.
WARNING
BRAKE FLUID fig. 12
Unscrew cap Aand check that the fluid
level in the reservoir is at maximum.
Fluid level in the reservoir shall not exceed
the MAXmark.
If fluid has to be added, it is suggested to
use the brake fluid in table “Fluids and lu-
bricants” (see chapter “Technical specifi-
cations”). When opening cap Atake the
utmost care to prevent impurities enter-
ing the tank.
For topping up, always use a funnel with
integrated filter with mesh equal to or
lower than 0.12 mm.
fig. 12F0Q0664m
Check level through the reservoir.
For versions fitted with headlight wash-
er, remove the filter and the relevant dip-
stick. Use the dipstick to check the fluid
level inside the reservoir.

Symbol π, on the container
indicates synthetic brake flu-
id, distinguishing it from the mineral
kind. Using mineral fluids irreversibly
damages the special braking system
rubber seals.
WARNING
Brake fluid is poisonous and
highly corrosive. In the event
of accidental contact, wash the parts
involved immediately with neutral
soap and water, then rinse thor-
oughly. Call the doctor immediately
if the fluid is swallowed.
WARNINGAIR CLEANER/
POLLEN FILTER
Air cleaner or pollen filter replacement
shall be carried out at Fiat Dealership. IMPORTANT Brake fluid absorbs mois-
ture. For this reason, if the car is mainly
used 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”.

RUBBER HOSES
As far as the brake system and fuel rubber
hoses are concerned, carefully follow the
“Service schedule” in this section.
Indeed ozone, high temperatures and pro-
longed lack of fluid in the system may
cause hardening and cracking of the hoses,
with possible leaks. Careful control is
therefore necessary.Remember that road holding
depends also on the correct
tyre inflating pressure.
WARNING
If the pressure is too low the
tyre overheats and this can
cause it serious damage.
WARNING
Do not cross switch the
tyres, moving them from the
right of the car to the left and vice
versa.
WARNING
Never submit alloy rims to
repainting treatments re-
quiring to use temperatures exceed-
ing 150°C since the mechanical prop-
erties of the wheels could be im-
paired.
