towing FIAT DUCATO 2014 3.G User Guide

SCHEDULED
SERVICINGCorrect servicing is essential for
ensuring long vehicle life under the best
conditions.
This is why Fiat has planned a series of
checks and maintenance operations
every 48,000 km depending on the
engine version.
The scheduled maintenance does not,
however, cover all the needs of the
vehicle: also during the initial period,
before the 48,000 km service and
between one service and the next,
ordinary care such as systematic fluid
level checks with top ups and tyre
pressure checks, etc. remain
necessary.
IMPORTANT The Scheduled Servicing
services are set out 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 inform a
Fiat Dealership of any small operating
irregularities without waiting for the next
service.
If your vehicle is used frequently for
towing, the interval between service
coupons must be reduced.
