Brake fluid is poisonous and
highly corrosive. In the case
of accidental contact, wash the parts
with water and mild soap and rinse
with plenty of water. Call a doctor
immediately if swallowed.
WARNING
Symbol πon the contain in-
dicates a synthetic brake flu-
id, which is different from a mineral
fluid. Use of a mineral type fluid will
damage the special rubber seals of
the braking system beyond repair.
WARNING
POWER STEERING FLUID fig. 12
Check that the oil level with the car on flat
ground and the engine cold is between the
MINand MAXlines on the reservoir
body. The level may go over the MAX
line when the oil is hot.
If topping up is required, make sure the oil
you used has the same specifications as
that already in the system.
fig. 12 - 1.4 T-JET versionF0R0139m
Oil consumption is extremely
low; if another top-up should
be required after only a short
period of time, have the system checked
for leakage at a Fiat Dealership.
Prevent power steering flu-
id from coming into contact
with hot engine parts: the liquid is
flammable.

WHEELS AND TYRES
Check the pressure of each type, includ-
ing the spare, approximately once every
two weeks and before starting a long jour-
ney: this check must be performed with
the tyre rested and cold.
It is normal for pressure to increase when
the car is used. For the correct tyre in-
flation pressure, see “Wheels” in “Tech-
nical specifications” section.
Incorrect pressure causes abnormal tyre
wearfig. 14:
Anormal pressure: evenly worn tread.
Blow pressure: tread particularly worn
on the edges.
Cexcessive pressure: tread particularly
worn in the middle.
The tyres must be replaced when the
tread is less than 1.6 mm thick. In all cas-
es, follow the laws in force in the coun-
try where you are driving.
fig. 14F0R0141m
IMPORTANT NOTES
❒Avoid braking suddenly, burning starts
and violent knocks against the curb,
potholes or other obstacles if possible.
Long distances on rough roads may
damage the tyres;
❒check the tyres regularly for cuts on the
sides, swelling or irregular tread wear.
Go to a Fiat Dealership if required.
❒do not over load your car: this may
cause serious damage to wheels and
tyres;
❒if a tyre is punctured, stop immediate-
ly and charge it to avoid damage to the
tyre, the rim, suspensions and steering
system;
❒a tyre will age even if it is not used
much. Cracks in the tread and on the
sidewalls are a sign of ageing. Have the
tyres checked by specialised personnel
if they have been fitted for longer than
6 years. Remember to check the spare
wheel very carefully;
❒In the case of replacement, always fit
new tyres, avoiding those of dubious
origin;
❒If a tyre is changed, also change the in-
flation valve;
❒to allow even wear between the front
and rear tyres, it is advisable to change
them over every 10-15 thousand kilo-
metres, keeping them on the same side
of the car so as not to reverse the di-
rection of rotation.
Remember that the road
holding qualities of your car
also depends on the correct inflation
pressure of the tyres.

These components must be cleaned with
mild soap and water only.
Never use spirit and/or alcohol based
products.
Before using off-the-shelves products de-
signed for cleaning car interiors, make sure
that they do not contain spirit and/or al-
cohol based substances before using them.If window cleaner accidentally drips onto
the steering wheel or gear lever knob,
wipe away immediately and then wash the
concerned area with mild soap and water. IMPORTANT Be carefully when arranging
a steering wheel lock device, where applic-
able, to prevent damaging the leather up-
holstery by rubbing.
