Do not smoke while
working in the engine
compartment: the pres-

vapour could cause a fire.
Be careful not to mix up
the various types of fluids
when you are topping up:
they are all mutually incompati-
ble and could damage the vehicle.

ENGINE COOLANT fig. 11
The cooling system is
pressurised. If necessary,
replace the cap only with
another genuine one, otherwise
system efficiency could be com-
promised. Do not remove the
reservoir cap when the engine is
hot: you risk scalding yourself.
The coolant level shall be checked
with cold engine and shall be within
the MINand MAXmarks on the
tank.
If the level is low, pour slowly a mix-
ture of 50% distilled water and 50%
PARAFLU UPof the FL Selenia
Group through the filler neck until the
level reaches MAX.
A 50-50 mixture of PARAFLU UP
and distilled water gives freeze pro-
tection to –35°C.
For particularly hard climate condi-
tions, we recommend use of a 60%
PARAFLU UP and 40% deminer-
alized water mixture.

Pour a mixture of water and
TUTELA PROFESSIONAL SC
35, in the following concentrations:
30% of TUTELA PROFESSION-
AL SC 35and 70% of water in sum-
mer; 50% of TUTELA PROFES-
SIONAL SC 35and 50 of water in
winter. If the temperature falls below
–20°C, use TUTELA PROFES-
SIONAL SC 35undiluted.

The engine cooling sys-
tem uses protective an-
tifreeze fluid PARAFLU
UP. Use the same fluid type as
that already in the cooling system
when topping up. PARAFLU UP
fluid cannot be mixed with any
other type of fluid. Should it hap-
pen, under no circumstances
start the engine; contact a Fiat
Dealership.
