ANNUAL
INSPECTION
SCHEDULE
For vehicles with an annual
mileage of below 20.000 km (for
example about 10.000 km) the
following yearly inspection pro-
gramme is advised:
– check tyre conditions/wear and ad-
just pressure if required (including the
spare wheel).
– check light system operation (head-
lights, direction indicators, hazard
lights, boot lights, passenger compart-
ment lights, glovebox light, warning
lights, etc.).
– check windscreen wiper/washer
operation, adjust nozzles.
– check windscreen/rear window
blade position/wear
– check front disk brake pad condi-
tions and wear.– check cleanness of bonnet and
boot locks and lever cleanness and lu-
brication
– sight inspect the conditions of: en-
gine, gearbox, transmission, pipes and
hoses (exhaust - fuel - brakes), rubber
parts (boots, sleeves, bushes, etc)
brake and fuel hoses.
– check battery charge.
– visual check on various drive belt
conditions.
– check and top up, if required, fluid
levels (engine coolant, brake fluid,
windscreen washer fluid, battery fluid,
etc.).
– change engine oil.
– change engine oil filter.
– replace pollen filter (where pro-
vided).
ADDITIONAL
CHECKS
Every 1,000 kmor before long
trips, check and top up as necessary:
engine coolant level, brake fluid level,
windscreen washer liquid level, tyre
pressure and conditions.
Every 3,000 km check and top up
as necessary: engine oil level.
You are recommended to use FL
Selenia,products designed and pro-
duced specifically for Fiat vehicles (see
“Capacities” in section “Technical
specifications”).

167VEHICLE MAINTENANCE
Tyres must be replaced when the
tread wears down to 1.6 mm. In any
case, comply with the laws in the
country where the vehicle is being dri-
ven.
IMPORTANT NOTES
As far as possible avoid sharp brak-
ing and screech starts.
Be careful not to hit the kerb, pot-
holes 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 sidewalls, abnormal
swelling or irregular tyre wear. If any
of these occur, have the vehicle seen
to at a Fiat Dealership. If the pressure is too low
the tyre overheats and
this can cause it serious
damage.
WHEELS
AND TYRES
TYRE PRESSURE
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 the 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” for the correct tyre inflation
pressure.Incorrect pressure causes abnormal
tyre wearfig. 22:
A- Correct pressure: tyre wears
evenly
B- Under inflated tyre: shoulder
tread wear
C- Over inflated tyre: centre tread
wear.Tyre pressure must be
correct to ensure good
road holding.

PRACTICAL TIPS TO
REDUCE CONSUMPTION
AND ENVIRONMENTAL
POLLUTION
Vehicle conditions
1. Have checks and adjustments
carried out in accordance with the
“Scheduled Service Plan”.
2. Check the tyre pressure at inter-
vals of not more than 4 weeks (see
“Tyre pressure”). Too low tyre pres-
sure increases consumption as the
rolling resistance increases. In these
conditions the tyres wear faster and
performance deteriorates.
3. Use winter tyresonly in the sea-
sons where dictated by the climatic
conditions. Winter tyres not only in-
crease consumption but also tyre
noise.4. Do not travel in heavy load con-
ditions(vehicle overloaded): The
weight of the vehicle (especially when
driving in town) and its trim greatly af-
fect fuel consumption and stability.
5. Remove roof racks or ski racks
after use. These accessories reduce
the aerodynamics of the vehicle and
have a negative effect on fuel con-
sumption.
6. Ideally use a trailerto transport
particularly bulky objects.
7. It is preferable to use the air vents:
driving with the window open has a
negative effect on the aerodynamics of
the vehicle.
8. Use the electrical devices only for
the time strictly necessary. The rear
heated window, additional headlights,
windscreen wipers and heater fan
need a considerable amount of ener-
gy, consequently increasing fuel con-
sumption (up to 25% more in the ur-
ban cycle).9. Using the air-conditioning in-
creases consumption (up to 30% more
on average): use the air vents when
the outside temperature permits.
Driving style
1. After starting the engineit is
advisable to set off immediately and
slowly avoiding revving up the engine.
Do not warm up the engine with the
vehicle stationary either at idle or at
high speed: in these conditions the en-
gine in fact warms up more slowly, in-
creasing consumption, emissions and
wear of the mechanical devices.
2. Avoid revving upwhen starting
at traffic lights or before turning off the
engine. This action, like double-de-
clutching, is unnecessary and causes in-
creased fuel consumption and pollu-
tion.
