6. Examine the radiator hoses for
coolant leakage and the drive belt for
looseness or damage. If there is
anything wrong with the cooling system
or drive belt, we recommend you to
have it checked and repaired.
WARNING
284)Do not open the bonnet while steam
is coming from the engine compartment. It
could cause steam or hot water to spurt
out, causing burns. Hot water could spurt
out even when there is no steam coming
out, and some parts will be very hot. Be
very careful when opening the bonnet.
285)Be careful of hot steam, which could
be blowing off the reserve tank cap.
286)Do not attempt to remove the radiator
cap while the engine is hot.
287)Be careful not to get your hands or
clothes caught in the cooling fan.
288)Make sure that the engine has cooled
down before removing the radiator cap (A),
because hot steam or boiling water
otherwise will gush from the filler port and
may scald you.
IMPORTANT
162)Do not add coolant while the engine is
hot. Suddenly adding cold coolant could
damage the engine. Wait for the engine to
cool down, then add coolant a little at a
time.
BLEEDING THE FUEL
SYSTEM
The fuel system should be bled to
remove air as described below if the
fuel supply is exhausted during travel.
Pump the hand pump (A) at the top of
the fuel filter until the hand pump
becomes stiff.
Then try again to start the engine. If the
engine does not start, repeat the
process above.
289) 290)

SERVICE
PRECAUTIONS
346) 347) 348) 349) 350) 351) 352) 353)
Adequate care of your vehicle at regular
intervals serves to preserve the value
and appearance as long as possible.
Maintenance items as described in this
owner’s manual can be performed by
the owner.
We recommend you to have the
periodic inspection and maintenance
performed by a Fiat dealership.
In the event a malfunction or a problem
is discovered, we recommend you to
have it checked and repaired. This
section contains information on
inspection maintenance procedures
that you can do yourself. Follow the
instructions and cautions for each of
the various procedures.
WARNING
346)When checking or servicing the inside
of the engine compartment, make sure the
engine is switched off and has had a
chance to cool down.
347)If it is necessary to do work in the
engine compartment with the engine
running, be especially careful that your
clothing, hair, etc., does not become
caught by the cooling fan, drive belts, or
other moving parts.348)After performing the maintenance
work, make sure that no tools or cloths are
left behind in the engine compartment. If
they are left behind, a fire or damage to the
vehicle may occur.
349)The cooling fan can turn on
automatically even if the engine is not
running. Turn the ignition switch to “LOCK”
position or put the operation mode in OFF
to be safe while you work in the engine
compartment.
350)Do not smoke, cause sparks or allow
open flames around fuel or battery. The
fumes are flammable.
351)Be extremely cautious when working
around the battery. It contains poisonous
and corrosive sulphuric acid.
352)Do not get under your vehicle with
just the body jack supporting it. Always use
automotive jack stands.
353)Improper handling of components
and materials used in the vehicle can
endanger your personal safety. We
recommend you to consult a specialist for
necessary information.
