ABS FIAT QUBO 2017 1.G Owner's Manual

BRAKE FLUID
Undo the cap A fig. 186 and check that the liquid
contained in the reservoir is at the maximum level.
The fluid level in the reservoir must not exceed
the MAX mark.
Use the brake fluid shown in the "Fluids and
lubricants" table (see "Technical Specifications").
When opening the cap A, make sure that no dirt
gets into the reservoir.
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 “Scheduled Servicing Plan”.Prevent brake fluid, which is highly
corrosive, from coming into contact with
painted parts. Should it happen,
immediately wash with water.
WARNING
Brake fluid is poisonous and highly
corrosive. In the event of accidental
contact , immediately wash the affected parts
with water and mild soap.Then rinse
thoroughly. Call a doctor immediately if
swallowed.
WARNING
The symbol, on the brake fluid
container indicates if a brake fluid is
synthetic or mineral­based. Use of mineral type
fluids will damage the special rubber seals of
the braking system beyond repair.

Refer to the paragraph "Vehicle inactivity" in "Starting
and driving" if the vehicle is left parked for a long
time.
If, after buying the vehicle, you want to install
electric accessories which require permanent electric
supply (alarm, etc.) contact the Fiat Dealership
whose qualified personnel, in addition to suggesting
the most suitable devices, will evaluate the overall
electric absorption, checking whether the vehicle
electric system is capable of withstanding the load
required, or whether it should be integrated with
a more powerful battery.
Since these devices continue to use electricity even
when the engine is off, they gradually run down
the battery.WHEELS AND TYRES
Check the pressure of each tyre, including the spare,
every two weeks and before long journeys. The
pressure should be checked with the tyre rested and
cold.
It is normal for the pressure to increase when the
vehicle is used; for the correct tyre inflation
pressure, see the "Wheels" paragraph in the
"Technical specifications" chapter.
Incorrect pressure causes abnormal tyre wear
fig. 188:
Anormal pressure: tread evenly worn.
Blow pressure: tread particularly worn at the edges.
Chigh pressure: tread particularly worn in the
centre.
The tyres must be replaced when the tread is less
than 1.6 mm thick. In any case, follow the laws
in force in the country you are in.
