Pour a mixture of 10% of fluid SC 35 &
90% of distil led water and check level
through the reservoir.

PARAFLU UP antifre eze is
used in the engine cooling sys-
tem .

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

If the level is low, slowly pour a mixture of
40% PARAFLU UP & 60% deminerali-
