PARAFLUUPanti-freeze is
used in the engine cooling sys-
tem. Use the same fluid as in
the cooling system when top-
ping up. PARAFLU
UPmay not be mixed
with any other type of fluid. If this hap-
pens, do not start the engine; contact
a Fiat Dealership.
The cooling system is pres-
surised. If the cap needs re-
placing, do so with another original
or the effectiveness of the system may
be compromised. Do not remove the
cap from the reservoir when the en-
gine is hot: you may get burned
WARNINGENGINE COOLANT fig. 5
The coolant level must be checked when
the engine is cold and must be between
the  MIN and MAX lines on the vessel.
If the level is low, slowly pour a mixture
of 50% demineralised water and 50%
PARAFLU
UP(made by PETRONAS LU-
BRICANTS) through the filler neck 
A until the level reaches MAX.
The 50-50 mixture of  PARAFLU
UPand
demineralised water gives freeze protec-
tion up to −35°C.
For particularly harsh climate conditions,
a mixture of 60% PARAFLU
UPand 40%
distilled water is recommended.
Used engine oil and the re-
placed oil filter contain sub-
stances that may be harmful
to the environment. It is ad-
visable to have oil and filters changed
by a Fiat Dealership, where they will be
disposed of properly and in accordance
with the law.
Do not add oil with different
characteristics to those of the
existing engine oil. 
Be very careful working in
the engine compartment
when the engine is hot: you may get
burned. Remember that the fan may
start up if the engine is hot: this could
injure you. Make sure that scarves,
ties and other loose fitting garments
do not get caught up in moving parts.
