and MAXmarks on the tank.
If the level is low, pour slowly a mixture
of 50% distilled water and 50%
PARAFLU

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
UPfluid cannot be mixed with
any other type of fluid. Should it hap-
pen, 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.
