Be careful, when
topping up not to
confuse the various
types of fluids: they are all
incompatible with one another
and could seriously damage the
vehicle.
1. Engine coolant fluid
2. Power steering fluid
3. Windscreen washer fluid
4. Brake fluid
5. Engine oil
fig. 218 – 180 Multijet Power versions
Never smoke while
working in the engine
compartment: gas and
inflammable vapours may be
present, with the risk of fire.

ENGINE COOLANT fig. 222-223
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
UPof
PETRONAS LUBRICANTS through the filler neck A
until the level reaches MAX.
A 50-50 mixture of PARAFLU
UPand distilled water
gives freeze protection up 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.
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 a Fiat Dealership.
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.
