FLUID FOR ENGINE
COOLING SYSTEM
The coolant level must be checked when
the engine is cold and must not drop be-
low the MINline on the vessel.
If the level is too low, slowly pour a mix-
ture of 50% distilled water and of FL
Selenia PARAFLU UPinto the filler
A-fig. 5of the vessel.
A 50-50 mixture of PARAFLU UPand
distilled water gives freeze protection up
to –35°C.
When the vehicle is used under particu-
larly harsh weather conditions, we rec-
ommend using a 60-40 mixture of
PARAFLU UPand demineralised water.WINDSCREEN/REAR WINDOW

in a mixture of water and TUTELA
PROFESSIONAL SC 35fluid, in the
following proportions:

When the engine is extreme-
ly hot, do not remove the
cap from the vessel: risk of burns.
The cooling system is pressurised. If
required, replace the cap with an
original spare part so as not to jeop-
ardise system efficiency.
WARNING
PARAFLU UP antifreeze is
used in the engine cooling sys-
tem. Use fluid of the same
type contained in the cooling
system for top-ups. PARAFLU UP may
not be mixed with other types of fluids.
If it is, do not start the engine and con-
tact the Fiat Dealership.
