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.
ENGINE COOLANT
SELECTION OF COOLANT
To maintain optimum performance and
durability 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.
79J006
Petrol engine
❒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.
❒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.
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.

ADDING COOLANT
Engine coolant is harmful or
fatal if swallowed or inhaled.
Do not drink antifreeze or coolant so-
lution. If swallowed, do not induce
vomiting. Immediately contact a poi-
son control center or a physician.
Avoid inhaling mist or hot vapors; if
inhaled, remove to fresh air. If
coolant gets in eyes, flush eyes with
water and seek medical attention.
Wash thoroughly after handling. So-
lution can be poisonous to animals.
Keep out of the reach of children and
animals.
WARNINGIMPORTANT
❒The mixture you use should contain
50% concentration of antifreeze.
❒If the lowest ambient temperature in
your area is expected to be –35°C
(–31°F) or below, use higher concen-
trations up to 60% following the in-
structions on the antifreeze container.
❒When putting the cap on the reservoir
tank, line up the arrow on the cap and
the arrow on the tank. Failure to follow
this can result in coolant leakage.
If the coolant level is below the “LOW”
mark, more coolant should be added.
When the engine is cool, remove the de-
gassing tank cap by turning it anticlock-
wise slowly to release any pressure. And
add coolant until the degassing tank level
reaches the “FULL” mark. Never fill the
degassing tank above the “FULL” mark.
It is hazardous to remove the
degassing tank cap for Diesel
engine when the water temperature
is high, because scalding fluid and
steam may be blown out under pres-
sure. Wait until the coolant temper-
ature has lowered before removing
the cap.

COOLANT REPLACEMENT
79J007
It is hazardous to remove the
radiator cap when the water
temperature is high, because scalding
fluid and steam may be blown out un-
der pressure. Wait until the coolant
temperature has lowered before re-
moving the cap.
WARNING
For Petrol Engine Model
❒When the engine is cool, remove the
radiator cap by turning it slowly to the
left until a “stop” is felt. Do not press
down while turning the cap. Wait until
any pressure is released, then press
down on the cap and continue turning
it anticlockwise.
❒After filling, let the engine idle for about
2–3 minutes to get rid of air in the cool-
ing system.
❒Stop the engine.
❒Check the coolant level in the radiator
again. If the level has gone down, add
more coolant.
IMPORTANT The coolant must be re-
placed with the vehicle on level ground.
For Diesel Engine Model
Since special procedures are required, we
recommend you take your vehicle to your
Fiat Dealership for coolant replacement.
❒Remove the reservoir by lifting it up,
and drain the reservoir completely.
❒Loosen the drain plug attached to the
lower part of the radiator and drain the
coolant into a suitable container.
❒Reinstall the reservoir and fill it with
coolant to the “FULL” line.
❒Tighten the drain plug on the radiator.
❒Fill the radiator with coolant and install
the radiator cap.

IF THE ENGINE
OVERHEATS
The engine could overheat temporarily
under severe driving conditions. If the en-
gine coolant temperature gauge indicates
overheating during driving:
❒Turn off the air conditioner, if equipped.
❒Take the vehicle to a safe place and
park.
❒Let the engine run at the normal idle
speed for a few minutes until the indi-
cator is within the normal, acceptable
temperature range between “H” and
“C”.
IF THE ENGINE IS
FLOODED
If the engine is flooded with gasoline, it
may be hard to start. If this happens, press
the accelerator pedal all the way to the
floor and hold it there while cranking the
engine. (Do not operate the starter mo-
tor for more than 15 seconds).
If you see or hear escaping
steam, stop the vehicle in a
safe place and immediately turn off
the engine to let it cool. Do not open
the hood when steam is present.
When the steam can no longer be
seen or heard, open the hood to see
if the coolant is still boiling. If it is, you
must wait until it stops boiling before
you proceed.

❒If you do not find a leak, carefully add
coolant to the reservoir and then the
radiator, if necessary. (Refer to “Engine
Coolant” in the “INSPECTION AND
MAINTENANCE” section.) If the temperature indication does not
come down to within the normal, accept-
able range:
❒Turn off the engine and check that the
water pump belt and pulleys are not
damaged or slipping. If any abnormali-
ty is found, correct it.
❒Check the coolant level in the reser-
voir. If it is found to be lower than the
“LOW” line, look for leaks at the ra-
diator, water pump, and radiator and
heater hoses. If you locate any leaks
that may have caused the overheating,
do not run the engine until these prob-
lems have been corrected.
79J007
– It is hazardous to remove
the radiator cap when the
water temperature is high, because
scalding fluid and steam may be
blown out under pressure. The cap
should only be taken off when the
coolant temperature has lowered.
– To help prevent personal injury,
keep hands, tools and clothing away
from the engine cooling fan and air-
conditioner fan (if equipped). These
electric fans can automatically turn
on without warning.
