COOLING SYSTEM FLUID
The traction system coolant level
must be checked when the motor is
cold and must range between the
MIN and MAX marks on the reservoir.
If the level is below the MIN level, go
to a Dealership. Do not attempt to
open the cap yourself to avoid burns
and/or damage to the cooling system
and electronic components. Topping
up and filling operations must be
carried out by qualified personnel at
a Dealership using the appropriate
equipment for vacuum filling.
WINDSCREEN/REAR
WINDOW WASHER FLUID
Check fluid level through the reservoir.
If the liquid is too low, lift reservoir
cap (D) (see previous pages) and add
the fluid described in In the section
"Technical specifications".
The windscreen washer reservoir must
be filled with the liquids provided for
this purpose. The use of any other
liquid can compromise the operation of
the reservoir pump.
After topping up, close cap (D), making
sure it is correctly locked.

BRAKE FLUID
Check that the fluid is at the maximum
level (the fluid level in the reservoir must
not exceed the MAX mark).
If the fluid level in the reservoir is too
low, undo reservoir cap (B) (see
the previous pages) and add the
fluid described in the "Technical
specifications" section.
Note Carefully clean the cap of the
reservoir (B) and the surrounding
surface. Take great care to ensure that
impurities do not enter the reservoir
when the cap is opened. Always use a
funnel with a built-in filter with a mesh
of 0.12 mm or less.
WARNING Brake fluid is hygroscopic
(i.e. it absorbs moisture). For this
reason, if the car is mainly used
in areas with a high degree of
atmospheric humidity, the fluid
must be replaced at more frequent
intervals than specified on the "Service
Schedule".

WARNING
219)
Do not travel with the windscreen
washer fluid reservoir empty: the
windscreen washer is essential for
improving visibility. Some commercial
windscreen washer additives are
flammable. The engine compartment
contains hot components which may set it
on fire.
220)
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.
221)
The symbol on the reservoir
identifies synthetic brake fluids,
distinguishing them from the mineral type.
Use of mineral type fluids will irreparably
damage the braking system’s special
rubber seals.
IMPORTANT
79)
Prevent brake fluid, which is highly
corrosive, from coming into contact
with painted parts. Should it happen,
immediately wash with water.
