OF THE CAR
Should the car be used predominantly in
one of the following particularly demand-
ing conditions:
❒trailer or caravan towing;
❒dusty roads;
❒short (less than 7-8 km) and repeated
journeys in sub-zero temperatures;
❒ frequently idling engine or long-dis-
tance, low-speed driving (e.g. door-to-
door deliveries) or lengthy inactivity;
❒ driving in towns and cities;
you should perform the following inspec-
tions more frequently than shown on the
Scheduled Servicing Plan:
❒ check front disc brake pad conditions
and wear;
❒check cleanliness of bonnet and boot
locks, and cleanliness and lubrication of
linkages;
❒ visually inspect the conditions of: en-
gine, gearbox, transmission, pipes and
tubes (exhaust – fuel – brakes), rubber
parts (boots, sleeves, bushes, etc.);
❒check battery charge and liquid level
(electrolyte);
❒visually inspect the condition of the ac-
cessory drive belts;
❒check pollen filter and replace, if re-
quired;
❒check air filter and replace, if required.
REGULAR CHECKS
Every 1,000 km or before long journeys,
check and, if necessary, top up:
❒engine coolant fluid level;
❒brake fluid level;
❒windscreen washer level;
❒tyre pressure and conditions.
❒operation of lights (headlights, direction
indicators, hazard lights, etc.);
❒operation of the windscreen
wiper/washer system, position and
wear of the windscreen and rear win-
dow wiper blades;
Every 3,000 km, check and top up, if re-

Never smoke while working
in the engine compartment:
inflammable gases and vapours may
be present, constituting a fire risk.
WARNING
When topping up, take care
not to confuse the various
types of fluids: they are not
interchangeable and could se-
riously damage the car.
1. Engine coolant
2. Battery
3. Windscreen washer fluid
4. Brake fluid

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 “Scheduled Servicing Plan”.
fig. 7
Do not travel if the wind-
screen washer reservoir is
empty: using the windscreen washer
is essential for improving visibility.
WARNING
Some commercial additives
for windscreen washing are
flammable. The engine compartment
contains hot parts which could cause
a fire if they come into contact with
these additives.
WARNING
Prevent brake fluid, which is
highly corrosive, from coming
into contact with painted
parts. Wash with water im-
mediately if this should happen.
WINDSCREEN/REAR WINDOW
WASHER FLUID fig. 6
To top up, remove the cap A.
Pour in a mixture of water and TUTELA
PROFESSIONAL SC35, in the follow-
ing concentrations:
30% TUTELA PROFESSIONAL
SC35and 70% water in summer.
50% TUTELA PROFESSIONAL
SC35and 50% water in winter.
If temperatures are below −20°C, use
undiluted TUTELA PROFESSIONAL
SC35fluid.
Check the level through the reservoir.
fig. 6F0M0154m
BRAKE FLUID fig. 7
Undo the cap Aand check that the liquid
contained in the reservoir is at the maxi-
mum level.
The fluid level in the reservoir must not
exceed the MAXmark.
If you need to top up, you should use the
brake fluid shown in the “Fluids and lubri-
cants” table (see “Technical Specifications”).
NB Carefully clean the reservoir cap Aand
the surrounding surfaces.
When opening the cap, make sure that no
dirt gets into the reservoir.
Always use a funnel with a built-in filter with
a mesh of 0.12 mm or less for topping up.
F0M0155m
Brake fluid is poisonous and
highly corrosive. In the event
of accidental contact, wash the parts
immediately with water and mild
soap, then rinse with plenty of
water. Call a doctor immediately if
swallowed.
