SCHEDULED
SERVICING
Correct maintenance of the car is es-
sential for ensuring it stays in tip-top
condition for a long time to come.
For this reason, Fiat prepared a se-
ries of maintenance controls and in-
terventions, from 1000-1500, 7500 &
15000 km and so on.
However it is useful to remember
that the Scheduled Servicing does not
completely exhaust all the exigencies
of the car: also in the initial period of
time prior to the coupon of 1000-
1500 km and later on, between one
coupon and an other, the ordinary at-
tentions are always necessary such as
systematic control with possible fluid
level refuelling, tyre pressure restora-
tion etc…
IMPORTANTThe Scheduled Ser-
vicing Coupons are prescribed by the
Manufacturer. The failure in the exe-
cution of the coupons can cause the
cancellation of the warranty.
The service of Scheduled Servicing is
performed by all
Fiat Dealership,
with prefixed times.
If performing each intervention, in
addition to the prescribed operations,
the necessity of further replacements
or repairs occurs, these latter can be
performed only with the explicit
agreement of the Customer.
IMPORTANT We suggest you to
immediately signal to
Fiat Dealer-
ship
possible small operational non
conformities, without waiting for the
next coupon execution.

Avoid that the highly
corrosive brake fluid drips
onto the paintwork. If it
does, wash immediately with wa-
ter.

P4E02074
With the engine run-
ning, do not push, at the
end of the power steering
stroke, for more than 15 con-
secutive seconds: noises are pro-
duced and the system could be
damaged.
The power steering flu-
id consumption is very
low; if it needs topping up
at short intervals, have the sys-
tem checked for leaks at a Fiat
Dealership.Make sure the power
steering fluid does not
come into contact with
the hot parts of the engine: it is
inflammable.
BRAKE-CLUTCH FLUID
fig. 13
A:
versions 1.2
B: versions 1.6 & 1.9 D
Periodically, check he warning lights
on the instrument panel: when you
press the reservoir cover (with igni-
tion key at
MAR) warning light
x
should come on.
Brake fluid is poisonous
and very corrosive. In the
event of accidental con-
tact, wash the affected part with
neutral soap and water, then
rinse in plenty of water. If the flu-
id is swallowed, call doctor im-
mediately.
If you need to top up, use only the
type classified DOT4. We advise the
use of
TOP4, with which the braking
system was originally filled.
The fluid level in the reservoir must
not exceed the
MAX mark.
