(3) The maximum mileage is 120,000 km. The belt must be replaced every 6 years, regardless of distance travelled. If the vehicle is used in heavy conditions (dusty
areas, cold climates, urban driving, long periods of idling), the maximum mileage is 60,000 km. The belt must be replaced every 4 years regardless of the
mileage.
(4) Check to be carried out every year for cars on the road in countries with particularly severe climates (cold countries).

(5) Check to be carried out every year for cars on the road in countries with particularly severe climates (cold countries).
(6) The actual interval for changing engine oil and replacing the engine oil filter depends on the vehicle usage conditions and is signalled by the warning light or
message in the instrument panel. In any case, it must never exceed 2 years. Where the car is used mostly in urban settings you need to replace the engine oil
filter every year. (4) The maximum mileage is 120,000 km. The belt must be replaced every 6 years, regardless of distance travelled. If the vehicle is used in heavy conditions (dusty
areas, cold climates, urban driving, long periods of idling), the maximum mileage is 60,000 km. The belt must be replaced every 4 years regardless of the
mileage.
(7) If the vehicle runs on fuel with quality below the relevant European specification, this filter must be replaced every 20,000 km
(8) If the vehicle is used in dusty areas, this cleaner must be replaced every 20,000 km.
(9) The brake fluid replacement has to be done every two years, irrespective of the mileage.

REGULAR CHECKS
Every1,000km or before long trips
check and, if necessary, top up:
engine coolant level;
brake fluid level;
windscreen washer fluid level;
tyre inflation pressure and condition;
operation of lighting system
(headlights, direction indicators, hazard
warning lights, etc.);
operation of windscreen
washer/wiper system and
positioning/wear of windscreen/rear
window wiper blades;
check and top up AdBlue® (UREA)
diesel emissions additive level (where
provided).
Every3,000km, check and top up if
required: engine oil level.
DEMANDING USE OF THE
CAR
If the car is used mainly under one of
the following conditions:
law enforcement (or security service),
taxi service;
towing a trailer or caravan;
dusty roads;
short, repeated journeys (less than
7-8 Km) at sub-zero outdoor
temperatures;
engine often idling or driving long
distances at low speeds or long periods
of inactivity;the following checks must be carried
out more often than indicated in the
Scheduled Servicing Plan:
check front disc brake pad condition
and wear;
check cleanliness of bonnet and
luggage compartment locks,
cleanliness and lubrication of linkage;
visually inspect conditions of: engine,
gearbox, transmission, pipes and hoses
(exhaust/fuel system/brakes) and
rubber elements (gaiters/sleeves/
bushes, etc.);
check battery charge and battery
fluid level (electrolyte);
visually inspect conditions of the
accessory drive belts;
check and, if necessary, change
engine oil and replace oil filter;
check and, if necessary, replace
pollen filter;
check and, if necessary, replace air
cleaner;
restore AdBlue® (UREA) Diesel

provided), when the warning light

ENGINE OIL
168)
81)
Check the oil level a few minutes (about
5) after the engine has stopped, with
the vehicle parked on level ground.
Check that the oil level is between the
MIN and MAX lines on the dipstick A.
NOTE For 1.0 and 1.3 versions, the
dipstick A is integral with the cap B.
If the oil level is near or under the MIN
line, add oil through the filler B until it
reaches the MAX line.
Take out the engine oil dipstick A, clean
it with a lint-free cloth and reinsert it.
Extract it again and check that the level
is between the MIN and MAX marks on
the dipstick.
Engine oil consumption
82)
3)
The maximum engine oil consumption
is usually 400 grams every 1000 km.
When the car is new, the engine needs
to be run in; therefore the engine oil
consumption can only be considered
stabilised after the first 5000 - 6000 km.
IMPORTANT After adding or changing
the oil, let the engine turn over for a few
seconds and wait a few minutes after
turning it off before you check the level.
ENGINE COOLANT
169)
83)
If the level is too low, unscrew the cap
of reservoir C and add the fluid
described in the "Technical
Specifications" chapter.
WINDSCREEN/REAR
WINDOW WASHER FLUID
170) 171)
If the level is too low, lift reservoir cap D
and add the fluid described in the
chapter "Technical Specifications".
IMPORTANT The headlight washer
system (present) will not operate when
the fluid level is low, even though the
windscreen/rear window washer
continues to operate.
BRAKE FLUID
172) 173)
84)
Check that the fluid is at the max. level.
If the fluid level in the reservoir is too
low, undo reservoir cap E and add the
fluid described in the chapter "Technical
Specifications".
IMPORTANT Carefully clean the cap of
the reservoir and the surrounding
surface. Take great care to ensure that
impurities do not enter the reservoir
when the cap is opened.
For topping-up, always use a funnel
with integrated filter with mesh equal to
or lower than 0.12 mm.
IMPORTANT Brake fluid is hygroscopic
(i.e. it absorbs moisture). For this
reason, if the vehicle is mainly used in
areas with a high degree of
atmospheric humidity, the fluid should
be replaced at more frequent intervals
than specified in the "Scheduled
Servicing Plan".
