SCHEDULED
SERVICING
Correct servicing is essential for
ensuring long vehicle life under the
best conditions.
This is why Fiat has planned a series
of checks and services every
30,000/35,000 km (depending on
the version).
It is, however, important to
remember that scheduled servicing
does not completely cover all the
vehicle's requirements: even in the
initial period before 30,000/35,000
km, and then subsequently between
one service and another, ordinary
care is always required such as
routine checks involving topping up
fluid levels, checking tyre pressures
etc...
IMPORTANT Scheduled Servicing
Coupons are required by the
manufacturer. Failure to have them
carried out may invalidate the
warranty.
Scheduled Servicing can be carried
out by any Fiat Dealership, at
pre-established 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 It is advisable to
contact a Fiat Dealership in the
event of any minor operating failure,
without waiting for the next service
coupon.
If your vehicle is used frequently for
trailer towing, the interval between
scheduled maintenance services
must be reduced.

comply with the replacement intervals in the Scheduled Servicing Plan; you are advised to contact a Fiat Dealership to have plugs replaced.
(**) Irrespective of the mileage, the timing drive belt must be changed every 4 years for heavy-duty use (cold climates, town use, long periods of idling) or at least every 5 years.

SERVICING AND MAINTENANCE

Check fluid level through the
reservoir.
Close cap D by pressing on the
central section.
129)
BRAKE FLUID
Undo the cap E fig. 207 - fig. 208 -
fig. 209 - fig. 210 - fig. 211 - fig.
212: check that the fluid contained
in the reservoir is at the maximum
level.
The fluid level in the reservoir must
not exceed the MAX mark.
Use the brake fluid shown in the
"Fluids and lubricants" table (see
"Technical Specifications").
NB Carefully clean the reservoir cap
E and surrounding surfaces.
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 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”.

FLUID
Check that the oil level with the
vehicle on flat ground and the
engine cold is between the MIN and
MAX marks on the reservoir body
G fig. 207 - fig. 208 - fig. 209 -
fig. 210 - fig. 211 - fig. 212.
The level may exceed the MAX mark
when the oil is hot.
If topping up is required, make sure
the oil you use has the same
specifications as that already in the
system.

WARNING
126) Never smoke while working in
the engine compartment: gas
and flammable vapours may be
present, with the risk of fire.
127) When the engine is hot, take
care when working inside the
engine compartment to avoid
burns. Remember that when the
engine is hot, the fan may
operate: danger of injury. Scarves,
ties and other loose clothing may
be pulled by moving parts.
128) The cooling system is
pressurised. If necessary, only
replace the cap with another
original one or the operation of
the system may be adversely
affected. Do not remove the cap
from the reservoir when the
engine is hot: danger of scalding.
