ANNUAL INSPECTION
SCHEDULE
For cars with an annual mileage of below
30.000 km (for example about 15.000 km)
the following yearly inspection programme
is advised:
❒check tyre conditions/wear and adjust
pressure if required (including the
space-saver spare wheel);
❒check light system operation (head-
lights, direction indicators, hazard lights,
boot lights, passenger compartment
lights, glovebox light, warning lights,
etc.);
❒check windscreen wiper/washer oper-
ation, adjust nozzles;
❒check windscreen/rear window blade
position/wear;
❒ check front disk brake pad conditions
and wear;
❒sight inspect the conditions of: engine,
gearbox, transmission, pipes and hoses
(exhaust - fuel - brakes), rubber parts
(boots, sleeves, bushes, etc.) fuel and
brake system hoses;
❒check cleanness of bonnet and boot
locks, and lever cleanness and lubrica-
tion
❒check battery charge (by optical depth
gauge);
❒visual check on various drive belt con-
ditions;
❒check and top up fluid levels (engine
coolant, brakes, windscreen washer,
battery, etc.);
❒change engine oil and oil filter, if re-
quired (Multijet versions);
❒replace pollen filter.
ADDITIONAL CHECKS
Every 1,000 km or before long journeys,
check and top up if required:
❒engine coolant fluid level;
❒ brake fluid level;
❒ windscreen washer fluid level;
❒tyre pressure and conditions.
Every 3,000 km check and top up if re-
quired: engine oil level.
You are recommended to use FL Sele-
niaproducts, designed and produced
specifically for Fiat cars (see table “Ca-
pacities” in section “Technical specifica-
tions”).

WHEELS AND TYRES
Check the pressure of each tyre, includ-
ing the spare, every two weeks and before
long journeys. The pressure should be
checked with the tyre rested and cold.
For the correct tyre inflation pressure, see
“Wheels” in “Technical specifications”
section.
Incorrect pressure causes abnormal tyre
wearfig. 21:
A: normal pressure: tread evenly worn.
B: low pressure: tread particularly worn
at the edges.
C: high pressure: tread particularly worn
in the centre.
Tyres must be replaced when the tread
wears down to 1.6 mm. In any case, com-
ply with the laws in the country where the
car is being driven.IMPORTANT NOTES
❒As far as possible, avoid sharp braking
and screech starts, etc. Be careful not
to hit the kerb, potholes or other ob-
stacles hard. Driving for long stretch-
es 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 car seen to at a
Fiat Dealership;
❒avoid overloading the car when travel-
ling: this may cause serious damage to
the wheels and tyres;
fig. 21F0C0101m
❒if a tyre is punctured, stop immediate-
ly and charge it to avoid damage to the
tyre, the rim, suspensions and steering
system;
❒Tyres age even if they are not used
much. Cracks in the tread rubber are
a sign of ageing. In any case, if the tyres
have been on the car for over 6 years,
they should be checked by specialised
personnel, to see if they can still be
used. Also remember to check the
space-saver spare wheel;
❒ In the case of replacement, always fit
new tyres, avoiding those of dubious
origin;
❒ If a tyre is changed, also change the in-
flation valve;
❒To allow even wear between the front
and rear tyres, it is advisable to change
them over every 10-15 thousand kilo-
metres, keeping them on the same side
of the car so as to not reverse the di-
rection of rotation.

RUBBER HOSES
As far as the brake system and fuel rubber
hoses are concerned, carefully follow the
“Service schedule” in this section.
Indeed ozone, high temperatures and pro-
longed lack of fluid in the system may
cause hardening and cracking of the hoses,
with possible leaks. Careful control is
therefore necessary.Remember that road holding
depends also on the correct
tyre inflating pressure.
WARNING
If the pressure is too low the
tyre overheats and this can
cause it serious damage.
WARNING
Do not cross switch the
tyres, moving them from the
right of the car to the left and vice
versa.
WARNING
Never submit alloy rims to
repainting treatments re-
quiring to use temperatures exceed-
ing 150°C since the mechanical prop-
erties of the wheels could be im-
paired.
