WARNING
When the engine is hot, take care when
working inside the engine compartment
to avoid burns. Remember that when the engine
is hot, the fan may cut in: danger of injury.
Scarves, ties and other loose clothing might be
pulled by moving parts.
Do not add oil with specifications other
than that already in the engine.
Used engine oil and filter contain harmful
substances for the environment. Contact
a Fiat Dealership to have the oil and
filters changed.They are equipped to dispose of
the used oil and filters respecting nature and the
law.
ENGINE COOLANT
The coolant level must be checked when the engine
is cold and must range between the MIN. and MAX.

If the level is low, slowly pour into the reservoir filler
neck C (see previous pages) a mixture of 50%
distilled water and 50% PARAFLU

LUBRICANTS until the level approaches the MAX.
A 50-50 mixture of PARAFLU

When the vehicle is used in particularly harsh
weather conditions, we recommend using a 60-40
mixture of PARAFLU

engine cooling system. Use the same fluid
as in the cooling system when topping
up. PARAFLU

types of fluids. If this happens, do not start the
engine and contact a Fiat Dealership.
WARNING
The cooling system is pressurised. If
necessary, only replace the cap with
another genuine one or the operation of the
system may be adversely affected. Do not
remove the reservoir cap when the engine is
