–20°C, use TUTELA PROFES-

A 50-50 mixture of PARAFLU UP

and distilled water gives freeze pro-

tection to –35°C.

For particularly hard climate condi-

tions, we recommend use of a 60%

PARAFLU UP and 40% deminer-

alized water mixture.

The cooling system is

pressurised. If necessary,

replace the cap only with

another genuine one, otherwise

system efficiency could be com-

promised. Do not remove the

reservoir cap when the engine is

hot: you risk scalding yourself.

Check that fluid contained in tank is

at maximum level. If fluid has to be

added, it is suggested to use the brake

fluid in table "Fluids and lubricants"

(see chapter "Technical characteris-

attention in order to prevent any im-

purities from entering the tank.

For topping up, always use a funnel

with integrated filter with mesh equal

to or lower than 0.12 mm.

The oil level with the vehicle on lev-

el ground and engine cold should be

included between the references MIN

and MAX on the reservoir.

Prevent brake fluid,

which is highly corrosive,

from coming into contact

with painted parts. Should it hap-

pen, immediately wash with wa-

ter.

When the oil is hot, the level can ex-

ceed the reference line MAX.

When topping up (where necessary)

make sure that the oil has the same

specifications as the oil in the system.

Check that the level of the fluid in the

reservoir is at the maximum.

Use DOT 4 fluid only for topping up.

We recommend TUTELA TOP 4

that the braking system was originally

ing mineral type fluid would dam-

age the special rubber braking

system gaskets beyond repair.

If the vehicle is often used in dusty or

extremely polluted environments, you

should change the filter element more

frequently than shown in the service

schedule. It should be changed espe-

cially if the amount of air introduced

into the passenger compartment is in-

troduced.

IMPORTANT Brake fluid is hy-

groscopic (meaning it absorbs humid-

ity). This is why the fluid should be

changed more frequently than shown

in the service schedule if the vehicle is

mainly driven in areas with a high per-

centage of humidity in the air.
