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 Gasoline 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.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.
❒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.
