Clutch Fluid - Fiat Fullback Single cab Owner's Manual

Fluid type
Use brake fluid conforming to DOT3 or
DOT4. The brake fluid is hygroscopic.
Too much moisture in the brake fluid will
adversely affect the brake system,
reducing the brake performance.
In addition, the brake fluid reservoir is
equipped with a special cap to prevent
the entrance of air, and this cap should
not be removed.

WARNING
365) Prevent power steering fluid from
coming into contact with hot engine parts:
it is flammable.
366) Some commercial windscreen washer
additives are flammable. The engine
compartment contains hot parts which
could start a fire on contact.
367) Do not travel with the windscreen
washer reservoir empty: the windscreen
washer is essential for improving visibility.
368) The cooling system is pressurised. If
necessary, only replace the plug with
another original one or the operation of the
system may be adversely affected. Do not
remove the reservoir plug when the engine
is hot: risk of burns.
369) Take care in handling brake fluid as it
is harmful to the eyes, may irritate your skin
and also damage to painted surfaces.

370) Use only the specified brake fluid. Do
not mix or add different brand of brake fluid
to prevent chemical reaction. Do not let
any petroleum-based fluid touch, mix with,
or get into the brake fluid. This will damage
the seals.
371) Clean the filler cap before removing
and close the cap securely after
maintenance.
372) 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.
IMPORTANT
185) Keep the reservoir tank cap closed to
prevent the brake fluid from deteriorating
except maintenance.
186) Prevent brake fluid, which is highly
corrosive, from coming into contact with
painted parts. Should it happen,
immediately wash with water.
187) The symbol , on the brake fluid
container indicates if a brake fluid is
synthetic or mineral-based. Use of mineral
type fluids will damage the special rubber
seals of the braking system beyond repair.

CLUTCH FLUID

To check the fluid level
The clutch fluid in the master cylinder
should be checked when performing
other underhood service. In addition,
the system should be checked for
leakage at the same time.
Check to make certain that the clutch
fluid level is always between the "MAX"
and "MIN" level markings on the fluid
reservoir.
A rapid fluid loss indicates a leak in the
clutch system which should be
immediately inspected by a Fiat
Dealership.
