SERVICING
INTRODUCTION
Be careful not to hurt yourself when
inspecting your vehicle, replacing a tyre,
or doing some kind of maintenance
such as car washing. In particular, wear
thick work gloves such as cotton gloves
when touching areas that are difficult to
see while inspecting or working on your
vehicle. Doing inspections or
procedures with your bare hands could
cause injury.
If you are unsure about any procedure it
describes, we strongly urge you to have
a reliable and qualified service shop
perform the work, preferably at Abarth
Dealership.
Factory-trained FCA technicians and
genuine FCA parts are best for your
vehicle. Without this expertise and the
parts that have been designed and
made especially for your vehicle,
inadequate, incomplete, and insufficient
servicing may result in problems. This
could lead to vehicle damage or an
accident and injuries.
For expert advice and quality service,
contact an Abarth Dealership.
The owner should retain evidence that
proper maintenance has been
performed as prescribed.A claim against a warranty will not
qualify if it results from lack of
maintenance and not from defective
material or authorised workmanship.
Claims against the warranty resulting
from lack of maintenance, as opposed
to defective materials or authorized FCA
workmanship, will not be honored.
The malfunction diagnosis connector is
designed exclusively for connecting the
specially designed device to perform
on-board diagnosis. Do not connect
any devices other than the specially
designed malfunction diagnosis devices
for servicing. If any device other than
the malfunction diagnosis device is
connected, it may affect the vehicle's
electrical devices or lead to damage
such as battery depletion
Scheduled maintenance
NOTE After the prescribed period,
continue to follow the described
maintenance at the recommended
intervals.
Emission control and related
systems
The ignition and fuel systems are highly
important to the emission control
system and to efficient engine
operation. Do not tamper with them.
All inspections and adjustments must
be made by Abarth Dealership.
