SCHEDULED
SERVICING
Correct servicing is crucial for
guaranteeing a long life for the vehicle
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.
It is, however, important to remember
that scheduled servicing does not
completely cover all the requirements of
the car: even in the initial period before
48,000 km, and then subsequently
between one service and another,
ordinary care is always required such as
routine checks involving topping up
fluid level, checking tyre pressures etc.
IMPORTANT Scheduled Servicing
interventions 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.
PERIODIC CHECKS
Before long journeys, check and, if
necessary, restore:
engine coolant level;
brake fluid level;
control and recovery of additive level
for AdBlue Diesel emissions (UREA)
(for versions/markets, where provided);
windscreen washer fluid level;
tyre inflation pressure and condition;
operation of lighting system
(headlamps, direction indicators, hazard
warning lights, etc.);
operation of screen washer/wiper
system and positioning/wear of
windscreen/rear window wiper blades.
To ensure that the vehicle is always
efficient and well maintained, it is
advisable to make sure that you carry
out the above operations regularly
(approximately every 1000 km and
every 3000 km for checking and
topping up engine oil is advisable).

WARNING
195)Battery fluid is poisonous and
corrosive. Avoid contact with skin and
eyes. Keep naked flames and sources of
sparks away from the battery: risk of
explosion and fire.
196)Using the battery with insufficient
battery fluid may irreparably damage the
battery and may cause an explosion.
197)Before performing any operation on
the electrical system, disconnect the
negative battery cable through the suitable
terminal, after having waited at least one
minute from turning the ignition key to
STOP.
198)When performing any operation on
the battery or near it, always protect your
eyes with special goggles.
WARNING
55)Incorrect installation of electric and
electronic devices may cause severe
damage to your vehicle. After purchasing
your vehicle, if you wish to install any
accessories (anti-theft, radio phone, etc.),
go to a Fiat Dealership, which will suggest
the most suitable devices and advise
you whether a higher capacity battery
needs to be installed.
56)If the vehicle will be unused for an
extended period of time in extremely cold
weather conditions, remove the battery
and store it in a heated area to prevent it
from freezing.
WARNING
5)Batteries contain substances which are
very harmful for the environment. You
are recommended to go to a Fiat
Dealership to have the battery replaced

SERVICING AND CARE

NOZZLES
Windscreen (washer) fig. 216
If there is no jet, first check that there is
fluid in the reservoir.
Then check that the nozzle holes are
not clogged; use a needle to unblock
them if necessary.
The washer jets should be positioned
by adjusting the angle of the sprays
using a small straight-headed
screwdriver.
The jets should be directed at about a
third of the height from the top edge
of the windscreen.
HEADLIGHT WASHERS
Check the correct condition and
cleanliness of nozzles at regular
intervals.The headlight washers come on
automatically when the windscreen
washer is operated with the low beams
on.
WARNING
199)Driving with worn windscreen wiper
blades is a serious risk, because visibility is
reduced in bad weather conditions.
WARNING
57)Do not operate the windscreen wiper
with the blades lifted from the windscreen.
LIFTING THE

Fiat Dealership which is equipped
with the arm hoist or workshop lift.
