SC35fluid.BRAKE FLUID fig. 11
Unscrew cap A: 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 charac-
teristics”). Check level through the reservoir.
Do 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
fig. 11
NOTE Clean accurately the tank cap A
and the surrounding surface.
At plug opening, pay maximum attention
in order to prevent any impurities from
entering the tank.
For topping up, always use a funnel with
integrated filter with mesh equal to or
lower than 0.12 mm.
IMPORTANT Brake fluid absorbs mois-
ture, for this reason, if the vehicle is main-
ly 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”.
F0M0155m
Make sure that the highly
corrosive brake fluid does not
drip onto the paintwork; if it
does, wash it off immediate-
ly with water.

PROVISIONS FOR THE PROCESSING OF A VEHICLE AT THE END OF ITS
LIFE-CYCLE
For years now Fiat has been developing its global commitment towards the safeguarding and protection of the Environment through
the continuous improvement of its production processes and the making of increasingly more “eco friendly” products. With a view
to guaranteeing the best possible service to clients in full observance of environmental norms and in response to the obligations
imposed by European Directive 2000/53/EC on end-of-life vehicles, Fiat offers its clients the possibility to hand in their vehicle* at
the end of its life span without additional costs.
The European Directive, in fact, provides for the collection of the vehicle without the last holder or owner of the same incurring
expenses due to the fact that the market value of the vehicle is zero or negative. In particular, in almost all of the countries of the
European Union, up until 1st January 2007, collection of the vehicle free of charge only applies to vehicles registered from 1 July 2002
on, while, from 2007 on collection will be carried out free of charge independently of the year of registration, provided that the ve-
hicle still contains its essential component parts (especially engine and body) and is free from additional waste materials.
To have your end-of-life vehicle collected at no additional cost, simply contact one of our dealers or one of the collection and de-
molition centres authorised by Fiat. These centres have been carefully selected with a view to guaranteeing a good quality service
for the collection, processing and recycling of discarded vehicles while protecting the Environment.
Information on collection and demolition centres may be obtained from the network of Fiat and Fiat Commercial Vehicle dealers,
by calling the toll free number 00800 3428 0000 or by consulting the Fiat web site.
* Passenger transportation vehicles to seat a max. of nine persons, having a total admissible weight of 3.5 t
