ENGINE COOLANT fig. 6
The coolant level shall be checked with
cold engine and shall be within the MIN
and MAXmarks on the tank.
If the level is low, pour slowly a mixture
of 50% distilled water and 50%
PARAFLU UP of the FL Selenia Group
through the filler neck Auntil the level
reaches the MAXmark.
A 50-50 mixture of PARAFLU UPand
distilled water gives freeze protection to
–35°C.
fig. 6F0P0152m
The engine cooling system us-
es protective antifreeze 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
happen, under no circumstances start
the engine; contact a Fiat Dealership.
The cooling system is pres-
surised. If necessary, replace
the cap only with another genuine
one, otherwise system efficiency
could be compromised. Do not re-
move the reservoir cap when the en-
gine is hot: you risk scalding yourself.
WARNING
Used engine oil and filter con-
tain harmful substances for
the environment. Contact Fi-
at Dealership to have the oil
and filter changed, as they are
equipped to dispose of the waste oil
and filters respecting the nature and
the law.
Do not add oil with specifica-
tions other than that already
in the engine.

BATTERY
The battery is of the “Limited mainte-
nance” type: under normal conditions of

up with distilled water.
The battery is located in the passenger
compartment, under the floor on the pas-
senger seat side. To reach the battery re-
move the protection cover.
Contact Fiat Dealership to check/change
the battery.
CHECKING
THE CHARGE fig. 11
The battery charge may be checked
through the indicator A(where provided)
set on the battery cover and acting ac-
cording to the colour the indicator shows.
If the battery is not fitted with electrolyte
level indicator, the relevant checks must
only be carried out by authorised per-
sonnel.
To check the battery charge, slacken the
two fastening screws and open the cov-
er. Check the battery charge and then re-
close the cover, take care to prevent
pinching and short circuits.
Refer to the table below.The liquid in the battery is
poisonous and corrosive.
Avoid contact with eyes and skin. Do
not bring naked flames or possible
sources of sparks near the battery:
risk of fire and explosion.
WARNING

low fluid level can damage
the battery beyond repair and could
also cause its explosion.
