FIAT 500 - Manual (Page 176)

DIESEL FILTER
CONDENSATION DISCHARGE (Multijet
versions)
The presence of water in the supply
circuit may cause severe damage to the
injection system and irregular engine
operation. If the warning light switches on,
contact a Fiat Dealership as soon as possible to
have the system bled. If this problem is indicated
immediately after refueling, water may have
entered the fuel tank. In this case, immediately
turn off the engine and contact your Fiat
Dealership.
BATTERY
The car has a low-maintenance battery: no top-ups
with distilled water are needed in standard
conditions of use.
INSPECTING THE CHARGE AND THE
ELECTROLYTE LEVEL
The operations must be carried out as described in
this Owner Handbook only by skilled personnel. Any
top-up operations must be carried out by specialised
personnel and by a Fiat Dealership.
WARNING
Battery liquid is poisonous and
corrosive. Avoid contact with skin and
eyes. Keep naked flames and sources of sparks
away from the battery: risk of explosion and
fire.
WARNING
Running the battery with an excessively
low liquid level will damage the battery
beyond repair and could even cause its
explosion.
