ENGINE COOLANT fig. 168
The coolant level must be checked when the engine is
cold and must range between the MIN. and MAX. marks
on the reservoir.
If the level is low, slowly pour a mixture of 50%
demineralised water and 50% PARAFLU
UPby
PETRONAS LUBRICANTS through the filler neck A
until the level reaches MAX.
The used engine oil and the replaced oil
filter contain substances that may be
dangerous for the environment. It is
advisable to have oil and filters changed by an
Abarth Dealership where they will be disposed in
accordance with nature and the law.
PARAFLUUPanti-freeze is used in the
engine cooling system. Use the same fluid
as in the cooling system when topping up.
PARAFLU
UPmay not be mixed with any other
types of fluids. If this accidentally occurs, do not
start the engine and contact an Abarth
Dealership.
A 50-50 mixture of PARAFLUUPand demineralised
water gives freeze protection to -35°C.
When the vehicle is used under particularly harsh
weather conditions, we recommend using a 60-40
mixture of PARAFLU
UPand demineralised water.
The engine cooling system is pressurised.
If necessary, only replace the cap with
another genuine one or the operation of the
system may be adversely affected. Do not
remove the cap from the reservoir when the
engine is hot: danger of scalding.
