MAINTENANCE AND CARE
SCHEDULED SERVICING
Correct servicing is essential in guaranteeing a long life
for the car under the best conditions.
This is why Abarth has planned a series of checks and
maintenance operations every 15,000 km.
It is, however, important to remember that scheduled
servicing does not completely cover all the car’s
requirements: even in the initial period before 15,000
km, and then subsequently between one service and
another, ordinary care is always required such as
routine checks involving topping up fluid level, checking
tyre pressures etc...IMPORTANT Scheduled Servicing coupons is specified
by the Manufacturer.
Failure to have them carried out may invalidate the
warranty.
The services can be carried out by any Abarth
Dealership at the appointed times.
If during each operation, in addition to the ones
scheduled, the need arises for further replacements or
repairs, these may only be carried out with the express
agreement of the Customer.
IMPORTANT You are advised to contact an Abarth
Dealership in the event of any minor operating faults,
without waiting for the next service.

BATTERY
The car is fitted with a low-maintenance battery: no
top-ups with distilled water are needed in standard
conditions of use.
INSPECTING THE CHARGE AND THE
ELECTROLYTE LEVEL
The operations must be carried out as described in this
Owner Handbook only by skilled personnel. Any top-up
operations must be carried out by skilled personnel and
by an Abarth Dealership.
Battery liquid is poisonous and corrosive.
Avoid contact with the skin and eyes.
Keep naked flames or possible sources of sparks
away from the battery: risk of explosion or fire.
WARNING
Using the battery when the fluid is too
low can damage it irreparably and
generate a risk of explosion.
WARNING
CHANGING THE BATTERY
If required, replace the battery with a genuine spare part
with the same specifications.
If a battery with different specifications is fitted, the
service intervals given in the “Scheduled Servicing
Programme” in this chapter will no longer be valid.
Follow the battery manufacturer’s instructions for
maintenance.
Incorrect installation of electric and
electronic devices may cause severe
damage to your car. Contact an Abarth
Ford Dealership if you want to install accessories
(alarms, mobile phone, etc.): they will suggest the
most suitable devices and advise you if a higher
capacity battery needs to be installed.
