ENGINE COOLANT FLUID fig. 11
The coolant level shall be checked with
cold engine and shall not be lower than
the MINon the reservoir.
If the level is low, pour slowly a mixture
of 50% distilled water and 50%
PARAFLU UPby FL Seleniathrough
the filler neck A.
A 50-50 mixture of PARAFLU UPand
distilled water gives freeze protection to
–35°C.
For particularly hard climate conditions, we
recommend use of a 60% PARAFLU UP
and 40% demineralized water mixture. Used engine oil and filter con-
tain harmful substances for
the environment. Contact Fi-
at Dealership to have the oil
and filter changed.
Engine oil consumption
Max engine oil consumption is usually 400
grams every 1000 km.
When the car is new, the engine needs
to run in, therefore the engine oil con-
sumption can only be considered stabilised
after the first 5000 - 6000 km.
IMPORTANT The oil consumption de-
pends on driving style and the conditions
under which the car is used.
IMPORTANT Do not add oil with speci-
fications other than that already in the en-
gine.fig. 11F0L0194m
The cooling system uses
PARAFLU UP antifreeze. Do
not add fluid having different
specifications from that al-
ready existing. PARAFLU UP cannot be
mixed with other types of fluids. Should
other fluids be added, do not start the
engine and contact Fiat Dealership as
soon as possible.
Do not remove the reservoir
cap when the engine is hot:
you risk scalding yourself.
WARNING
The cooling system is pres-
surised. If necessary, replace
the cap only with another genuine
one, otherwise system efficiency could
be compromised.
