Fiat 500 C Owner's Handbook Manual page 152

(FOLLOWS)
• Prevent brake fluid, which is highly corrosive, from coming
into contact with painted parts while checking.
Should it happen, wash immediately with water.
20) PARAFLU UP
UP
PARAFLU anti-freeze is used in the engine cooling system.
Use the same fluid as in the cooling system when topping up.
UP
PARAFLU may not be mixed with other types of fluids.
If this happens, do not under any circumstances start the
engine and contact a Fiat Dealership.
21) BATTERY REPLACEMENT
Incorrect assembly of electrical and electronic accessories may
cause severe damage to your vehicle.
Go to a Fiat Dealership if you want to install accessories
(alarms, etc.): they will suggest the most suitable devices and
advise you whether a higher capacity battery needs to be
installed.
22) PARKING SENSORS
The sensors must be clean of mud, dirt, snow or ice in order for
the system to operate correctly.
Be careful not to scratch or damage the sensors while cleaning
them. Avoid using dry, rough or hard cloths. The sensors must
be washed using clean water, with the addition of car shampoo
if necessary. When using special washing equipment such as
high pressure jets or steam cleaning, clean the sensors very
quickly keeping the jet more than 10 cm away.

CAR SAFETY
23) ENGINE OIL DETERIORATED
To prevent damage to the engine, it is advisable to replace the
engine oil when the red warning light
or when the yellow warning light
(for versions/markets, where provided).
Contact a Fiat Dealership.
24) BODYWORK
• Avoid washing with rollers and/or brushes in washing stations.
Then wash the vehicle, only by hand, using pH-neutral detergents;
dry it with a wet chamois leather. Abrasive products and/or
polishes should not be used for cleaning the vehicle.
• Bird droppings must be washed off immediately and
thoroughly as the acid they contain is particularly aggressive.
• Avoid (if at all possible) parking the car under trees; remove
vegetable resins immediately as, when dried, it may only be
possible to remove them with abrasive products and/or polishes,
which is highly inadvisable as they could alter the typical opacity of
the paint.
25) WINDOWS
Do not use pure windscreen washer fluid for cleaning the
windscreen and the rear window: dilute it to at least
50% with water.
26) LPG
• The car is equipped with a gaseous LPG injection system
designed specifically for it: it is therefore absolutely forbidden to
alter the configuration of the system or its components.
