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.
WARNING

tain harmful substances for
the environment. Contact Fi-

ENGINE COOLANT FLUID
fig. 11-12
The coolant level shall be checked with
cold engine and shall not be lower than
the MINmark on the reservoir.
If the level is low, pour slowly a mixture
of 50% distilled water and 50%
PARAFLU
UPof the FL Seleniathrough
the filler neck A.
A 50-50 mixture of PARAFLU
UPand dis-
tilled 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.

1.9 Multijet - 2.0 MultijetversionF0Q0619m
The cooling system uses
PARAFLUUPantifreeze. Do
not add fluid having different
specifications from that al-
ready existing. PARAFLU
UPcannot 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. The cool-
ing system is pressurised. If necessary,
replace the cap only with another
genuine one, otherwise system effi-
ciency could be compromised.
WARNING
When the engine is hot,
take care when working in-
side the engine compartment to avoid
burns. Remember that when the en-
gine is hot, the fan may cut in: dan-
ger of injury. Scarves, ties and other
loose clothing might be pulled by
moving parts.
