WINDSCREEN WASHING
FLUID fig. 6
To top up, remove the cap A.
Pour a mixture of water and TUTELA
PROFESSIONAL SC 35, in the fol-
lowing concentrations:
30% TUTELA PROFESSIONAL
SC 35and 70% water in summer.
50% TUTELA PROFESSIONAL
SC 35and 50% water in winter.
In case of temperatures below –20°C, use
undiluted TUTELA PROFESSIONAL
SC 35fluid.
ENGINE COOLANT fig. 5
The coolant level must be checked when
the engine is cold and must be between
the MINand MAXlines on the vessel.
fig. 5F0R0136mfig. 6
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 this accidentally occurs, do not start
the engine and contact a Fiat Dealer-
ship.
The cooling system is pres-
surised. If required, replace
the cap with an original spare part so
as not to compromise system effi-
ciency. Do not remove the cap from
the vessel when the engine is hot: risk
of burns.
WARNING
F0R0137m
If the level is low, slowly pour a 50% mix-
ture of demineralised water and FL Sele-
nia PARAFLU UPthrough filler Aof the
vessel until the level approaches the MAX
line.
The 50% concentration of PARAFLU UP
demineralised water protects from freez-
ing to a temperature of –35°C.
For particularly hard climate conditions, we
recommend use of a 60% PARAFLU UP
and 40% demineralized water mixture.
Waste engine oil and oil filters
contains substances which are
dangerous for the environ-
ment. It is advisable to have
oil and filters changed by a Fiat Deal-
ership where they will be disposed of
according to the law.
Always top up using engine oil
of the same types as that al-
ready in the engine.
