Fiat 500 C Owner's Handbook Manual page 202

(CONTINUED)
• Running the battery with an excessively low liquid level will
damage the battery beyond repair and could even cause its
explosion.
• If the vehicle must remain unused for a long time at a very low
temperature, remove the battery and take it to a warm place, to
avoid freezing.
• When performing any operation on the battery or near it,
always protect your eyes with special goggles.
40) TYRES AND WHEELS
• Remember that the road holding qualities of your car also
depend on correct tyre pressures.
• If tyre pressure is too low, the tyre may overheat and be
severely damaged as a result.
• Do not switch tyres from the right hand side of the vehicle to the
left hand side, and vice versa.
• Never submit alloy rims to repainting treatments requiring the
use of temperatures exceeding 150°C.
The mechanical properties of the wheels could be impaired.
41) WINDSCREEN AND –REAR WINDOW WIPER
• Driving with worn windscreen/rear window wiper blades is a
serious hazard, because visibility is reduced in bad weather.
• If the window needs to be cleaned, make sure the device is
deactivated or the key is on STOP.

PERSONAL SAFETY
42) INTERIORS
• Never use flammable products, such as petrol ether or rectified
petrol to clean the inside of the car. The electrostatic charges which
are generated by rubbing during the cleaning operation may cause
a fire.
• Do not keep aerosol cans in the vehicle: they might explode.
Aerosol cans must not be exposed to a temperature exceeding
50°C. When the vehicle is exposed to sunlight, the internal
temperature can greatly exceed this value.
43) TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS – FUEL SUPPLY
Modifications or repairs to the supply system that are not carried
out correctly or do not take the system technical specifications
into account can cause malfunctions leading to the risk of fire.
44) TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS – RIM PROTECTOR
TYRES
DO NOT fit wheel hub caps when using integral hub caps fixed
(with springs) to the steel rim and after sale tyres provided with
Rim Protector. Use of unsuitable tyres and wheel caps may cause
sudden decrease of tyre pressure.
45) LPG
• Note that in some countries (including Italy) there are legal
restrictions in force for parking/garaging motor vehicles fuelled by
gas that is denser than air; LPG comes under this category.
• Do not switch between the two operating modes (petrol/LPG)
whilst starting the engine.
• The LPG supply system is equipped with a "consumption"
function linked to the LED display of LPG level on the switch; this
function activates only after a consistent variation in fuel level has
been detected.
