the windows from steaming up.
IMPORTANT The internal air recirculation system
makes it possible to reach the required heating
or cooling conditions more quickly. Do not use the

PROLONGED VEHICLE INACTIVITYIf 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.

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
UP
and 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
UP
and 40% distilled water.
WARNING
Do not remove the tank cap when the
engine 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.PARAFLU
UP
antifreeze is used in the
engine cooling system. Use fluid of the
same type contained in the cooling system
for top-ups. PARAFLUUP
should not be mixed
with any other type of fluid. If this happens, do
not start the engine; contact a Fiat Dealership.
