SCHEDULED SERVICING
Correct maintenance is essential for ensuring long car
life under the best conditions.
This is why Fiat has programmed a series of checks
and maintenance operations every 20,000 km.
It is however important to remember that scheduled
servicing does not completely cover all the car’s
requirements: also in the initial period before the first
service coupon and later, between one coupon and
another, ordinary care is still required such as for
example routine check and topping up the level of
fluids, tyre pressure check, etc.IMPORTANT The Programmed Maintenance coupons
are specified by the Manufacturer. Failure to have
them carried out may invalidate the warranty.
Scheduled Servicing is performed by all Fiat Dealership,
at pre-established times.
If during each operation, in addition to the ones
programmed, the need arises for further replacements
or repairs, these may be carried out only with the
explicit agreement of the Customer.
IMPORTANT You are advised to contact Fiat
Dealership in the event of any minor operating faults,
without waiting for the next service coupon.
If your car is used frequently for towing, the interval between one service coupon and the other
must be reduced.

PERIODICAL 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.
❒check light system operation (headlights, direction
indicators, hazard lights, etc.);
❒check windscreen wiper/washer operation and
windscreen/rear window blade position/wear;Every 3,000 km check and top up if required: engine
oil level.
You are recommended to use FL Seleniaproducts,
designed and produced specifically for Fiat cars (see

WHEELS AND TYRES
TYRE PRESSURE
Check the pressure of each tyre, including the spare wheel, every two
weeks and before long journeys. The pressure should be checked with
the tyre rested and cold.
It is normal for the pressure to rise when you are driving; for the correct
tyre inflation pressure, see “Wheels” in “Technical specifications”
section.
Incorrect pressure causes abnormal tyre wear:
(A) - Correct pressure: tread evenly worn.
(B) - Underinflated tyre: shoulder tread wear.
(C) - Overinflated tyre: centre tread wear.
Tyres must be replaced when the tread wears down to 1.6 mm. In any
case, comply with the regulations in force 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 obstacles hard. 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, contact
a Fiat Dealership.
❒avoid overloading the vehicle when travelling: this may cause serious
damage to the wheels and tyres.

❒if a tyre is punctured, stop immediately and change
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.
WARNINGRemember that road holding depends also on the correct tyre inflating pressure.
WARNINGIf the pressure is too low the tyre overheats and this can cause it serious damage.❒if a tyre is changed, also change the inflation valve.
❒to allow even wear between the front and rear
tyres, it is advisable to change them over every 10-
15 thousand kilometres, keeping them on the same
side of the car so as to not reverse the direction of
rotation.
WARNINGDo not cross switch the tyres, moving them from the right of the car to the left and
vice versa.
Never submit alloy rims to repainting treatments requiring to use temperatures
exceeding 150°C since the mechanical properties of the wheels could be
impaired.WARNING
