WARNING
Be very careful working in
the engine compartment
when the engine is hot: you may get
burned. Remember that the fan may
start up if the engine is hot: this could
injure you. Make sure that scarves,
ties and other loose fitting garments
do not get caught up in moving parts.
Do not add oil with different
characteristics to those of the
existing engine oil.
Used engine oil and the re-
placed oil filter contain sub-
stances that may be harmful
to the environment. It is ad-
visable to have oil and filters changed
by a Fiat Dealership, where they will be
disposed of properly and in accordance
with the law.
