The engine cooling sys-
tem works with PARAFLU
UP. Top up only with the
same fluid contained in the cool-
ing circuit. PARAFLU UP cannot
be mixed up with PARAFLU 11 or
other fluids. Should this take
place, do not start the engine and
contact a Lancia Dealership. In
case of need, lacking the speci-
fied fluid, top up with water and
contact a Lancia Dealership to
have the proper proportions
restored.
The cooling system is
pressurised. If necessary,
replace the cap with a
genuine spare part to avoid com-
promising the system efficiency.
The mixture of distilled water
and PARAFLU gives freeze pro-
tection down to -35°C.

(fig. 14-15)
Fluid level in the reservoir should
be at the maximum.
This check should be performed
when the engine is cold and with the
car on level ground.
For topping up, remove cap A,
after loosening the fastening screws
B with the wrench provided (in the
tool bag), then remove hose C and
loosen cap D.
Check that the level reaches the
MAX reference line on the dipstick
integral with the reservoir cap (for
cold check use the level indicated on
the 20 °C side of the dipstick).
fig. 14
If the fluid level in the reservoir is
below the specified one, top up only
with one of the products shown in
table "Fluids and lubricants" in
chapter "Technical Specifications"
proceeding as follows:
– Start the engine and wait for the
oil level in the reservoir to stabilise.
– With the engine running, turn the
steering wheel lock to lock a few
minutes.
– Top up to the MAX reference line
and then refit the cap D.
