Avoid that the highly
corrosive brake fluid drips
onto the paintwork. If it
does, wash immediately with wa-
ter.

With the engine run-
ning, do not push, at the
end of the power steering
stroke, for more than 15 con-
secutive seconds: noises are pro-
duced and the system could be
damaged.
The power steering flu-
id consumption is very
low; if it needs topping up
at short intervals, have the sys-
tem checked for leaks at a Fiat
Dealership.Make sure the power
steering fluid does not
come into contact with
the hot parts of the engine: it is
inflammable.

A:
versions 1.2
B: versions 1.6 & 1.9 D
Periodically, check he warning lights
on the instrument panel: when you
press the reservoir cover (with igni-
tion key at
MAR) warning light
x
should come on.
Brake fluid is poisonous
and very corrosive. In the
event of accidental con-
tact, wash the affected part with
neutral soap and water, then
rinse in plenty of water. If the flu-
id is swallowed, call doctor im-
mediately.
If you need to top up, use only the
type classified DOT4. We advise the
use of
TOP4, with which the braking
system was originally filled.
The fluid level in the reservoir must
not exceed the
MAX mark.
