brake FIAT IDEA 2007 1.G Service Manual

BRAKE FLUID
Unscrew cap: 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 lubricants" (see chapter "Technical characteristics").
NOTE Clean accurately the tank cap 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 moisture, for this reason, if the vehicle is mainly used in areas with a high degree
of atmospheric humidity, the fluid should be replaced at more frequent intervals than specified in the “Service
schedule”.

Make sure that the highly corrosive brake fluid does not drip onto the paintwork. If it does, wash it
off immediately with water.
Symbol πon the container indicates synthetic brake fluid, distinguishing it from
the mineral kind. Using mineral fluids irreversibly damages the special braking
system rubber seals.WARNING
WARNINGBrake fluid is poisonous and highly corrosive. In the event of accidental contact,
wash the parts involved immediately with neutral soap and water, then rinse
thoroughly. Call the doctor immediately if the fluid is swallowed.

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 prolonged lack
of fluid in the system may cause hardening and
cracking of the hoses, with possible leaks. Careful
control is therefore necessary.
WINDSCREEN/
REAR WINDOW WIPERS
BLADES
Periodically clean the rubber part using special
products; TUTELA PROFESSIONAL SC 35 is
recommended.
If the rubber blades are bent or worn they should be
replaced. In any case they should be changed once a
year.
A few simple notions can reduce the possibility of
damage to the blades:
❒if the temperature fall below zero, make sure that
ice has not frozen the rubber against glass. If
necessary, thaw using an antifreeze product;
❒remove any snow from the glass: in addition to
protecting the blades, this prevents effort on the
motor and overheating;
❒do not operate the windscreen and rear window
wipers on dry glass.
