WASHER FLUID fig. 1
To add fluid, remove the cap D, pressing
the special tab.
Pour a mixture of water and TUTELA
PROFESSIONAL SC 35, in the following
concentrations:
30% TUTELA PROFESSIONAL SC 35 and
70% water in summer.
50% TUTELA PROFESSIONAL SC 35 and
50% water in winter.
In case of temperatures below –20°C, use
undiluted TUTELA PROFESSIONAL SC
35 fluid.
Check level through the reservoir.
Close the cap D pressing its central sec-
tion.
ENGINE COOLANT fig. 1
The coolant level must be checked when
the engine is cold and must be between
the MIN and MAX lines on the vessel.
If the level is low, pour slowly a mixture
of 50% distilled water and 50%
PARAFLU
UP
of the PETRONAS
LUBRICANTS Group through the filler
neck C until the level reaches MAX.
A 50-50 mixture of PARAFLU
UP
and dis-
tilled water gives freeze protection to
–35°C.
When the vehicle is used under particu-
larly harsh climate conditions, we recom-
mend using a 60-40 mixture of
PARAFLU
UP
and demineralised water.
PARAFLU
UP
antifreeze is used
in the engine cooling system.
Use fluid of the same type
contained in the cooling sys-
tem for top-ups. PARAFLU
UP
may not
be mixed with other types of fluids. If
this accidentally occurs, do not start
the engine and contact a Abarth Deal-
ership.
The engine cooling system is
pressurized. If required, re-
place the cap with an original spare
part so as not to compromise system
efficiency. Do not remove the cap
from the vessel when the engine is
hot: risk of burns.
WARNING
Do not travel with the wind-
screen washing reservoir
empty: the windscreen washer is fun-
damental to improve visibility.
Some commercial windscreen wash-
er additives are flammable. The en-
gine compartment contains hot parts
which could start a fire if they come
into contact.
