Topping Up / Draining / Flushing The Engine/
Intercooler Coolant
If the engine coolant (antifreeze) is dirty, have
cleaning and flushing carried out at an autho -
rized dealer.
For the correct servicing intervals
Ú
page 209.
NOTE:

For topping off, and proper coolant specifi -
cations
Ú
page 263.

Do not use pure water, alcohol-based cool -
ants, corrosions inhibitors or additional
anti-rust products because they may be
incompatible with the engine coolant and
cause the clogging of the radiator. The use
of propylene glycol-based coolant is also not
recommended.
Engine Cooling/Intercooler System Cap
To prevent loss of engine coolant, make sure
that the expansion tank cap is closed. If it is
open, screw it completely until you reach/hear
the click.
Periodically check the cap and clean it from
any foreign bodies that may have deposited on
the external surface.
Disposal of Used Coolant
Disposal of engine/intercooler coolant is
subject to legal requirements. Contact the
appropriate body to determine local regula -
tions.
NOTE:

To prevent the fluid from being ingested by
children or animals, do not keep it in open
containers or pour it on the ground. If
ingested, contact a doctor immediately.
Eliminate any traces of fluid from the
ground immediately.

When the vehicle stops after a short trip,
steam may be seen coming out from the
front of the hood. This is a normal phenom -
enon which is due to the presence of rain,
snow or a lot of moisture on the surface of
the radiator.

With engine and system cold, do not top up
with coolant beyond the maximum level
indicated on the reservoir in the engine
compartment.
Braking System
In order to guarantee the efficiency of the
braking system, periodically check its compo -
nents; for this operation, contact an autho -
rized dealer.
For the correct servicing intervals
Ú
page 209.
NOTE:
Driving with your foot resting on the brake
pedal may compromise its efficiency,
increasing the risk of accidents. When driving,
never keep your foot on the brake pedal and
don’t put unnecessary strain on it to prevent
the brakes from overheating. Excess pad wear
may cause damage to the braking system.

When an insufficient oil level is detected,
contact an authorized dealer to have the
system checked.

Always keep the cap of the brake fluid reser -
voir (in the engine compartment)
completely closed.
WARNING!

Never add coolant with the engine hot or
overheated.

Do not attempt to cool an overheated
engine by loosening or removing the cap.
The heat causes a considerable increase
in pressure in the cooling system.

To prevent damage to the engine, only use
the engine cooling circuit caps provided.
WARNING! (Continued)
WARNING!

Use only manufacturer's recommended
brake fluid
Ú
page 263. Using the wrong
type of brake fluid can severely damage
your brake system and/or impair its
performance. The proper type of brake
fluid for your vehicle is also identified on
the original factory installed hydraulic
master cylinder reservoir.
