WINDSCREEN/REAR WINDOW
WASHER FLUID fig. 1-2-3

To add fluid, remove the cap D, pressing
the special tab.

Pour a mixture of water and TUTELA
PROFESSIONAL SC35, in the following
concentrations:

30% TUTELA PROFESSIONAL SC35 and
70% water in summer.

50% TUTELA PROFESSIONAL SC35 and
50% water in winter.

In case of temperatures below –20°C, use
undiluted TUTELA PROFESSIONAL SC35
fluid.

Check level through the reservoir.

Close the cap D pressing its central sec-
tion.

ENGINE COOLANT fig. 1-2-3

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 FL Selenia 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 sys-
tem. Use fluid of the same
type contained in the cooling

system 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 Fiat Dealer-
ship.

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.
