MAINTENANCE

When the engine is hot, take
care when working inside the

engine compartment to avoid burns.
Remember that when the engine is
hot, the fan may cut in: danger of in-
jury. Scarves, ties and other loose
clothing might be pulled by moving
parts.

WARNING

Used engine oil and filter con-
tain harmful substances for
the environment. Contact Fi-
at Dealership to have the oil

and filter changed.

ENGINE COOLANT FLUID
fig. 9-10

The coolant level shall be checked with
cold engine and shall not be lower than
the MIN mark on the reservoir.

If the level is low, pour slowly a mixture
of 50% distilled water and 50%
PARAFLU

of the FL Selenia through

the filler neck A.

A 50-50 mixture of PARAFLU

and dis-

tilled water gives freeze protection to
–35°C.

For particularly hard climate conditions, we
recommend use of a 60% PARAFLU

and 40% demineralized water mixture.

The cooling system uses
PARAFLU

antifreeze. Do

not add fluid having different
specifications from that al-

ready existing. PARAFLU

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. The cool-
ing system is pressurised. If necessary,
replace the cap only with another
genuine one, otherwise system effi-
ciency could be compromised.
