IMPORTANT
To avoid damaging your cooling system:
❒ Always use a high quality ethylene gly-
col base non- silicate type coolant di-
luted with distilled water at the correct
mixture concentration.
❒ Make sure that the proper mix is 50/50
coolant to distilled water and in no case
higher than 70/30. Concentrations
greater than 70/30 coolant to distilled
water will cause overheating conditions.
❒ Do not use straight coolant nor plain
water.
ENGINE COOLANT
SELECTION OF COOLANT
To maintain optimum performance and du-
rability of your engine, use PARAFLU
UP .
This type of coolant is best for your cool-
ing system as it:
❒ Helps maintain proper engine temper-
ature.
❒ Gives proper protection against freez-
ing and boiling.
❒ Gives proper protection against cor-
rosion and rust.
Failure to use the proper coolant can dam-
age your cooling system. Your authorized
Fiat Dealership can help you select the
proper coolant.

Model
❒ Do not add extra inhibitors or addi-
tives. They may not be compatible with
your cooling system.
❒ Do not mix different types of base
coolants. Doing so may result in accel-
erated seal wear and/ or the possibili-
ty of severe overheating and extensive
engine/automatic transaxle damage. In
any case, topping up to 20% of the max-
imum capacity of the system is permit-
ted with PARAFLU
UP , with a different
colour to the basic coolant.
COOLANT LEVEL CHECK
Check the coolant level at the reservoir
tank, not at the radiator. With the engine
cool, the coolant level should be between
the “FULL” and “LOW” marks.
