153VEHICLE MAINTENANCE
IMPORTANT - Engine oil
Should prevailing use of the vehicle
be under one of the following special-
ly heavy conditions:
– towing a trailer
– on dirty roads
– for short, repeated trips (less than
7-8 km) with outside temperature be-
low zero
– frequently idling engines or long
distance low speed driving (e.g. taxis
or door-to-door deliveries) or in case
of a long term inactivity; replace en-
gine oil more frequently than required
on Service schedule
IMPORTANT - Air cleaner
If the vehicle is used on dusty roads
change the air cleaner more frequently
than the indications in the Service
schedule. If in doubt as to how often
the engine oil and air cleaner should
be changed according to how you use
the vehicle, contact a Fiat Dealer-
ship.IMPORTANT - Pollen filter
If the vehicle is used frequently in
dusty or heavily polluted environ-
ments it is advisable to replace the fil-
tering element more frequently; in
particular it should be replaced if a re-
duction of the amount of air admitted
to the passenger compartment is not-
ed.
IMPORTANT - Battery
The charge in your battery should be
checked, where possible at the start
of the winter, to limit the risk of the
battery electrolyte freezing. This check
should be carried out more frequent-
ly if the vehicle is mainly used for short
trips or if it is fitted with accessories
that permanently take in electricity
even when the ignition key is re-
moved, especially in the case of after
market accessories.You should check the battery fluid
(electrolyte) level more frequently
than shown in the service schedule in
this chapter if the vehicle is used in hot
climates or particularly demanding
conditions.
Maintenance of your ve-
hicle should be entrusted
to a Fiat Dealership. For
ordinary routine maintenance
operations which you are able to
carry out yourself, ensure that
you have the necessary tools and
original Fiat spare parts and flu-
ids available. Do not carry out
servicing operations if you have
no experience.
