2010 FIAT PUNTO EVO anti freeze

F0U0286mfig. 208
ENGINE COOLANT fig. 208
The coolant level should be checked when the engine is
cold and should be between the MIN and MAX lines on
the reservoir.
If the level is low, slowly pour a mixture of 50% distilled
water and 50% PARAFLU
UP(made by PETRONAS
LUBRICANTS) through the filler neck A until the level ap-
proaches MAX.
A 50-50 mixture of PARAFLU
UPand distilled water gives
freeze protection up to –35°C.
When the vehicle is used in particularly harsh weather con-
ditions, we recommend using a 60-40 mixture of
PARAFLU
UPand distilled water.

The used engine oil and the replaced oil fil-
ter contain substances that are harmful to
the environment. It is advisable to have oil
and filters changed by a Fiat Dealership, where they
will be disposed of properly and in accordance with
the law.PARAFLUUPanti-freeze is used in the en-
gine cooling system. Use the same fluid as
in the cooling system when topping up.
PARAFLU
UPshould not be mixed with any other
type of fluid. If this accidentally occurs, do not start
the engine and contact a Fiat Dealership.

RUBBER TUBES
As far as the brake system and fuel rubber hoses are con-
cerned, stick closely to the “Scheduled Servicing Plan” in
this section.
Ozone, high temperatures and a prolonged lack of fluid
in the system may cause hardening and cracking of the
tubes, which could result in leaks.
Careful inspections are therefore necessary.

WINDSCREEN WIPER
BLADES
Clean the rubber part regularly using special products;
TUTELA PROFESSIONAL SC35 is recommended.
Replace the blades if the rubber edge is misshapen or
worn. In any event, it is advisable to replace them ap-
proximately once a year.
A few simple precautions can reduce the possibility of dam-
age to the blades:
❒make sure that the rubber part is not frozen to the
windscreen in sub-zero temperatures. Use an antifreeze
product to release it if required;
❒remove any snow from the glass: in addition to pro-
tecting the blades, this prevents the electric motor from
overheating;
❒ do not operate the windscreen wipers on dry glass.
Driving with worn wiper blades is a serious
hazard, because visibility is reduced in bad
weather.
