warning light will turn on (together with the
message on the display) (see “Tyre pressure low” in
this chapter) and it will stay on until the car slows
down to a speed below the preset threshold.
IMPORTANT In this case slow down immediately
since tyre overheating could impair tyre
performance and life beyond repair, and even make
the tyre to blow-out.
WARNING
Particularly strong radio frequency
interference may cause the TPMS to
function incorrectly.This condition is indicated
to the driver by a message (for versions/
markets where provided).The message will
disappear automatically as soon as the
interference ceases to affect the system.EXTERNAL LIGHT FAILURE

SERVICING AND MAINTENANCE
SCHEDULED SERVICINGCorrect servicing is essential in guaranteeing a long
life for the car under the best conditions.
Fiat has therefore arranged a series of checks and
service operations to be carried out every 30,000
kilometres (for petrol versions) or every 35,000
kilometres (for 1.6 MultiJet and 2.0 MultiJet
versions).
It is, however, important to remember that
scheduled servicing does not completely cover all
the car's requirements: even in the initial period
before 30,000/35,000 km (the latter for 1.6 MultiJet
and 2.0 MultiJet versions), and then subsequently
between one service and another, ordinary care
is still required such as routine checks involving
topping up fluid levels, checking tyre pressures, etc.IMPORTANT The Scheduled Servicing Plan
coupons are set out by the Manufacturer. Failure to
have them carried out may invalidate the warranty.
Scheduled Servicing is performed by all Fiat
Dealerships, at pre-established times.
If, during any service, the need arises for additional
replacements or repairs, these may be carried
out only with the explicit agreement of the
Customer.
IMPORTANT It is advisable to inform a Fiat
Dealership of any small operating irregularities
without waiting for the next service.
If the car is used frequently for towing a trailer, the
interval between services should be reduced.

serious damage to the engine: only use spark plugs specially tested for T-Jet and MultiAir engines (see paragraph "Engine") of the
same mark and type; strictly comply with the Scheduled Servicing Plan; you are advised to contact a Fiat Dealership
(°**) If the vehicle is mainly used for town driving or has an annual mileage of less than 10,000 km, the engine oil and engine oil filter
should be changed every 12 months.

BODYWORKPROTECTION FROM ATMOSPHERIC
AGENTS
The main causes of corrosion are the following:
❒atmospheric pollution
❒salty air and humidity (coastal areas, or hot
humid climates);
❒seasonal environmental conditions.
The abrasive action of wind-borne atmospheric
dust and sand, as well as mud and gravel raised by
other vehicles is also not to be underestimated.
On your car, Fiat has adopted the best
manufacturing technologies to effectively protect
the bodywork against corrosion.
These are the most important:
❒Painting products and systems which give the car
particular resistance to corrosion and abrasion;
❒Use of galvanised (or pretreated) steel sheets,
with high resistance to corrosion;
❒spraying the underbody, engine compartment,
wheel arch interiors and other parts with highly
protective wax products;
❒spraying of plastic parts, with a protective
function in the more exposed points: underdoor,
inner wing, edges, etc;
❒Use of “open” boxed sections to prevent
condensation and pockets of moisture from
triggering rust inside.BODY AND UNDERBODY WARRANTY
Your car is covered by warranty against perforation
due to rust of any original element of the structure
or body.
For the general terms of this warranty, refer to the
Warranty Booklet.
ADVICE FOR PRESERVING THE
BODYWORK
Paint
Paintwork does not only serve an aesthetic
purpose, but also protects the underlying sheet
metal.
Touch up abrasions and scratches immediately to
prevent rust formation. Use only original paint
products for touch-ups (see “Bodywork paint
identification plate” in the “Technical specifications”
section).
Normal maintenance of paintwork consists in
washing the car: the frequency depends on the
conditions and environment where the car is used.

For example, in highly polluted areas, or if the roads
are spread with salt, it is advisable to wash the car
more frequently.

FUEL CONSUMPTIONThe fuel consumption figures given in the table below are determined on the basis of the type-approval tests laid down by specific European Directives. The procedures below are followed for measuring consumption:❒
urban cycle: cold starting followed by driving that simulates urban use of the car;
❒
extra-urban cycle: frequent accelerating in all gears, simulating extra-urban use of the car: speed varies between 0 and 120 km/h;
❒
combined fuel consumption: calculated with a weighting of approximately 37% of the urban cycle and 63% of the extra-urban cycle.
IMPORTANT The type of route, traffic conditions, weather conditions, driving style, general condition of the car, trim level/equipment/accessories, use of the climate control system, car load, presence of roofracks and other situations that adversely affect the aerodynamics or wind resistance lead to different fuelconsumption figures than those measured.
