CAR MAINTENANCE

Do not let the power

steering fluid come into
contact with hot engine

parts. It catches fire very easily.

The brake fluid is poiso-

nous and very corrosive.
In the event of accidental

contact, immediately wash the
affected parts with water and
mild soap and rinse under run-
ning water. Immediately call a
doctor if the fluid is swallowed.

Oil consumption is ex-

tremely low. If the oil lev-
el needs topping up again

in a short period of time, have the
system checked for leakage at a
Fiat Dealership.

Make sure that the high-

ly corrosive brake fluid
does not trip onto the

paintwork. If it does, wash it off
immediately with water.

BRAKE AND HYDRAULIC
CLUTCH FLUID fig. 10

Remove cap A and check that the

fluid in the reservoir is at the maxi-
mum level.

The symbol

π on the

container indicates syn-
thetic brake fluid distin-

guishing it from mineral fluid. Us-
ing mineral type fluid would dam-
age the special rubber braking
system gaskets beyond repair.
