REGULAR CHECKS
Every 1,000 km or before long journeys, check and top up the fol-
lowing if necessary:
❍engine coolant level, brake fluid and windscreen washer fluid
❍tyre pressure and condition;
❍operation of lighting system (headlights, direction indicators,
hazard lights, etc.);
❍operation of the windscreen wiper/washer system, position
and wear of windscreen/rear window wiper blades;
Check and top up, if required, the engine oil level every 3,000 km.
DEMANDING USE OF THE CAR
If you use the car mainly under one of the following conditions:
❍trailer or caravan towing;
❍dusty roads;
❍short (less than 7-8 km) and repeated journeys in sub-zero
temperatures;
❍frequent engine idling, travelling long distances at low speeds
or long term inactivity;
perform the following inspections more frequently than shown on
the Scheduled Servicing Plan:
❍check front disc brake pad condition and wear;
❍check cleanliness of bonnet and boot locks, as well as cleanli-
ness and lubrication of linkages;
❍visually inspect the conditions of: engine, gearbox, transmis-
sion, pipes and tubes (exhaust - fuel - brakes), rubber parts
(boots, sleeves, bushes, etc.);
❍check battery charge and liquid level (electrolyte);
❍visually inspect the condition of auxiliary drive belts;
❍check and if necessary change engine oil and oil filter;
❍check pollen filter and replace it, if required;
❍check air filter and replace, if required.

BRAKE FLUID
Check that the fluid is at the maximum level. If the level is too
low undo reservoir cap F-fig. 161-162-163-164 and add the flu-
id described in the “Technical Specifications” chapter.
Prevent brake fluid, which is highly corrosive, from
coming into contact with painted parts. Should this
occur, immediately wash with water.
WINDSCREEN/REAR WINDOW/
HEADLIGHT WASHING FLUID
If the level is too low undo reservoir cap D-fig. 161-162-163-
164 and add the fluid described in the “Technical Specifications”
chapter.
IMPORTANT The headlight washer system will not work when
the liquid level is low although the windscreen/rear window wash-
er will still work. For versions/markets where provided (see pre-
vious pages), a reference line E-fig. 161, 162, 163, 164 is pro-
vided: ONLY the windscreen/rear window washer will work un-
der this line.
Some commercial windscreen washer additives are
flammable. The engine compartment contains hot
parts which could cause a fire if they come into con-
tact with these additives.
Brake fluid is poisonous and highly corrosive. In
the event of accidental contact, wash the parts im-
mediately with water and neutral soap, then rinse
with plenty of water. In case of swallowing, immediately
call a doctor.
The symbol πon the container indicates a syn-
thetic brake fluid, which is different from a min-
eral fluid. Using a mineral-type fluid will damage
the special rubber seals of the braking system beyond re-
pair.
Do not travel if the windscreen washer reservoir is
empty: using the windscreen washer is essential
for improving visibility. Repeated operation of the
system when it is empty could damage or rapidly deteri-
orate some of its parts
