SNOW CHAINS
The use of snow chains should be in compliance with
local regulations.
Snow chains may be fitted only to the front wheel
tyres (drive wheels).
Check the tension of the chains after the first few
metres have been driven.
Keep your speed down when snow chains
are fitted: do not exceed 50 km/h. Avoid
potholes, steps and pavements and also
avoid driving for long distances on roads not
covered with snow to avoid damaging the car and
the road surface.
PROLONGED VEHICLE INACTIVITY
If the vehicle needs to be off the road for longer than
one month, the following precautions must be
taken:
❒park the vehicle indoors in a dry and, if possible,
well-ventilated place;
❒engage a gear and check that the handbrake is not
on;
❒disconnect the battery negative terminal and check
the charge (see “Battery” in the “Maintenance and
care”);
❒clean and protect the painted parts using
protective wax;
❒clean and protect the shiny metal parts using
special compounds readily available;
❒sprinkle talcum powder on the rubber windscreen
and rear window wiper blades and lift them off the
glass;
❒slightly open the windows;
❒cover the vehicle with a piece of fabric or
perforated plastic sheet. Do not use compact
plastic tarpaulins, which prevent humidity from
evaporating from the surface of the vehicle;
❒inflate tyres to +0.5 bar above the normal specified
pressure and check it at intervals;
❒do not drain the engine cooling system.

The used engine oil and the filter that has
been replaced contain substances that
are dangerous to the environment . For oil
and filter changing, we recommend contacting a
Fiat Dealership.
ENGINE COOLANT FLUID
The coolant level should be checked when the
engine is cold and should be between the MIN and
MAX lines on the vessel.
If the level is low, pour into the vessel through cap A
fig. 169 a 50% mixture of demineralised water and
PETRONAS LUBRICANTS PARAFLU
UP.
The mixture of 50% PARAFLU
UPand 50% distilled
water protects against freezing down to
temperatures of -35°C. For particularly harsh climate
conditions, we recommended using a mixture of
60% PARAFLU
UPand 40% distilled water.
WARNING
Do not remove the tank cap when the
en
gine is very hot as there is a risk
of scalding.The cooling system is pressurised. If
the cap needs replacing, do so with another
original or the effectiveness of the system may
be compromised.
PARAFLUUPantifreeze is used in the
engine cooling system. Use fluid of the
same type contained in the cooling system
for top-ups. PARAFLU
UPshould not be mixed
with any other type of fluid. If this happens, do
not start the engine; contact a Fiat Dealership.
