ENGINE COOLANT B - Fig. 1
The coolant level must be checked when the engine is cold
and must range between the MIN and MAX marks on the
reservoir. If the level is low, slowly pour a mixture of 50%
demineralised water and 50% PARAFLU
UP
of
PETRONAS LUBRICANTS through the filler neck until
the level reaches MAX.
The mixture of 50% PARAFLU
UP
and 50% distilled wa-
ter protects against freezing down to temperatures of
–35°C. For particularly harsh climate conditions, we rec-
ommend using a mixture of 60% PARAFLU
UP
and 40%
distilled water.
PA R A F L U
UP
anti-freeze is used in the engine
cooling system. Use the same fluid as in the
cooling system when topping up. PARAFLU-
UP
cannot be mixed with any other type of fluid. If
this occurs, do not start the engine and contact your
Lancia Dealership immediately.
The cooling system is pressurised. If nec-
essary, only replace the plug with another
original one or the operation of the system
may be adversely affected. Do not remove the cap
from the reservoir when the engine is hot: danger
of scalding.
