SCHEDULED
SERVICING
Correct maintenance of the vehicle
is essential for ensuring it stays in tip-
top condition for a long time to come.
This is why Fiat has programmed a
number of service checks and opera-
tions carried out every 30,000 kilo-
metres.
It is however important to remem-
ber that "Scheduled Servicing" is not
all your vehicle requires. Regular
checks - also in the initial period be-
fore the 30,000 kilometre coupon and
later between coupons - ordinary care
is required, such as checking fluid lev-
els and topping up, checking tyre in-
flation pressure, checking cleanness of
bonnet and boot locks, cleaning and
lubricating levers, etc...If it is seen that further replacements
or repairs are necessary in addition to
the work being carried out, these will
only be done after the customer has
given his/her consent.
IMPORTANTYou are recom-
mended to get in touch with a Fiat
Dealershipimmediately if any small
running problems crop up without
waiting for the next coupon.
If the vehicle is fre-
quently used to tow trail-
ers, carry out the sched-
uled service operations more fre-
quently than shown.
IMPORTANTThe Manufacturer
requires the Service Schedule coupon
related checks to be carried out. Fail-
ure to do so could result in the war-
ranty being cancelled for those defects
that can be attributed to such failure.
Scheduled Servicing is performed at
all Fiat Dealershipsand there is a set
time scale for such operations.

ANNUAL
INSPECTION
SCHEDULE
The following annual inspection
schedule is required for vehicles trav-
elling 15,000 Kmapprox. a year. The
schedule includes the following oper-
ations:
– check tyre condition and wear and
adjust pressure, if required (including
spare wheel);
– check operation of lights (head-
lights, direction indicators, hazard
lights, boot light, passenger compart-
ment light, instrument panel lights,
etc.);
– check windscreen wiper/washer
and adjust nozzles;
– check position and wear of wind-
screen/rear window wiper blades;
– check front pad conditions and
wear;
– check for bonnet and boot lock
cleanness, lever cleanness and lubri-
cation;– inspect conditions of: engine, gear-
box, transmission, piping (exhaust, fu-
el feed, brakes), rubber parts (boots,
sleeves, bushings, etc.), brake and fu-
el line hoses;
– check battery charge status;
– check conditions of various control
belts;
– check and top up fluid levels (en-
gine coolant, brakes, windscreen
washer, battery, etc.);
– check and top up engine oil;
– replace pollen filter.
ADDITIONAL
CHECKS
Every 1,000 km or before long
trips, check and top up as necessary:
– engine coolant level
– brake fluid level
– power steering fluid level
– battery electrolyte level
– windscreen washer fluid
– tyre pressure and conditions.
Every 3,000 km or before long
trips, check and top up as necessary:
engine oil
Every 10,000 kmor at cwarning
light coming on (diesel engines only):
bleed water from fuel filter.
You are recommended to use FL
Seleniaproducts designed and pro-
duced for Fiat vehicles (see the “Ca-
pacities” table in the “Technical Spec-
ifications” section).

178VEHICLE MAINTENANCE
WHEELS AND
TYRES
Check the pressure of each tyre, in-
cluding the spare, every two weeks
and before long journeys.
The pressure must be checked when
the tyre is rested and cold.
It is normal for pressure to rise
when you are driving. If you have to
check or restore the pressure when
the tyres are warm, remember that
the pressure value must be 0.3 bar
above the specified value.
See “Wheels” in “Technical specifi-
cations” chapter for the correct tyre
inflation pressure.Wrong pressure causes uneven
wear of the tyres fig. 17:
A- correct pressure: tyre wears
evenly
B- under-inflated tyre: shoulder
tread wear
C- over-inflated tyre: centre tread
wear.IMPORTANTAs far as possible
avoid sharp braking and screech starts.
Be careful not to hit the kerb, pot-
holes or other obstacles. Driving for
long stretches over bumpy roads can
damage the tyres.
Periodically check that the tyres have
no cuts in the side wall, abnormal
swelling or irregular tyre wear. If any
of these occur, have the vehicle seen
to at a Fiat Dealership.
Avoid overloading your vehicle: this
can seriously damage wheels or tyres.
If you get a flat tyre, stop immedi-
ately and change it so as not to dam-
age the tyre, the wheel, the suspen-
sion and the steering.
fig. 17
F0D0027m
If the pressure is too low,
the tyre overheats and this
can cause it serious damage.
WARNING
Tyre pressure must be cor-
rect to ensure good road
holding.
WARNING
Tyres must be replaced when the
tread wears down to 1.6 mm. In any
case, comply with the laws in the coun-
try where the vehicle is being driven.

FUEL CONSUMPTION - CO2EMISSIONS
RUNNING AND USE CONDITIONS AFFECTING FUEL CONSUMPTION
(examples and differences with respect to goods transportation vehicle data)
IMPORTANT
Although fuel consumption mea-
surements procedure aim at defining
realistic values, fuel consumption is in-
fluenced by factors such as:
Driving style and vehicle usehigh
speed, frequent acceleration, frequent
gear shifting, door-to-door deliveries,
etc.
Just for passenger transportation
versions with 2.3 and 2.8 JTD engines,
reduced consumption can be obtained
by starting (on level road) in 2nd gear
instead of 1st gear.
Traffic and road conditions
queues, bending roads, steep roads,
bad road surface, etc.Weather conditions and tem-
peratures
low temperatures, thinner air, wind,
rain etc…;
Vehicle conditions
Poor maintenance (tyre pressure, fil-
ters, spark plugs, etc.), damaged body-
work
Load conditions
Heavy weights, not optimal load dis-
tribution, large weights on roof rack,
etc.
Use of electric devices
Climate control, heater and electric
devices in general
Special conditions of use
Special vehicle conditions of use: roof
rack, trailer, open side windows, type
of tyres, etc.Special trim and adaptations
caravan, motor home, mega box, can-
vas cover, etc.
Some of these conditions are illus-
trated in these figures on the next
pages.
For more information, refer to the
advice in the chapter “Cheap running
that respects the environment.
The fuel consumption values shown
in the table in following pages were de-
fined according to the type-approval
specifications in European Directives.
Consumption values are defined by
means of the following procedures:
– an urban cycle: consisting of a
cold start and a simulated drive in city
streets;
– an extra-urban cycle: consisting
in frequent accelerations, in all gears,
