Engine Coolant Fluid; Power Steering Fluid - Alfa Romeo 147 Owner's Manual

ENGINE COOLANT FLUID

(fig. 9)
WARNING
Do not remove the cap
when the engine is hot:
danger of burns.
The level of the coolant in the header tank
(reservoir) should be checked with the en-
gine cold and the car on a level surface and
it should be between the MIN and MAX
marks on the tank.
fig. 9
If the level is low, loosen the header tank
cap (A) and slowly pour through the filler
the fluid specified in the "Fluids and Lubri-
cants" table in the "Technical Specifications"
chapter until nearing the MAX mark; for
this operations contact Alfa Romeo Autho-
rised Services.
The antifreeze mixture contained in the
cooling circuit guarantees protection down
to –40°C.
For particularly hard climate conditions, we
recommend use of a 60% PARAFLU UP
and 40% demineralized water mixture.
The cooling system is
pressurised. If necessary,
replace the cap only with
another genuine one, otherwise
system efficiency could be compro-
mised.

For topping up use fluids
of the same type contained
in the cooling system.

POWER STEERING FLUID

(fig. 10-11)
Check that the level of the oil in the reser-
voir is at maximum.
This operation should be carried out with
the car on a level surface and the engine
switched off and cold.
Check that the level reaches the MAX
mark on the reservoir or coincides with the
upper notch (maximum level) on the dip-
stick (A) integral with the reservoir cap.
