ENGINE COOLANT fig. 206
The coolant level should be checked when the engine is
cold and should be between the MIN and MAX lines on
the reservoir.
If the level is low, slowly pour a mixture of 50% distilled
water and 50% PARAFLU
UP
(made by PETRONAS
LUBRICANTS) through the filler neck A until the level ap-
proaches MAX.
A 50-50 mixture of PARAFLU
UP
and distilled water gives
freeze protection up to –35°C.
When the vehicle is used in particularly harsh weather con-
ditions, we recommend using a 60-40 mixture of
PARAFLU
UP
and distilled water.
PARAFLU
UP
anti-freeze is used in the en-
gine cooling system. Use the same fluid as
in the cooling system when topping up.
PARAFLU
UP
should not be mixed with any other
type of fluid. If this accidentally occurs, do not start
the engine and contact a Fiat Dealership.
The engine cooling system is pressurized.
If the cap needs replacing, do so with an-
other original or the effectiveness of the system
may be compromised. Do not remove the cap
from the reservoir when the engine is hot: you may
get burned
