CAR MAINTENANCE
SCHEDULED SERVICINGCorrect servicing is essential in guaranteeing a long life for
the car under the best conditions.
This is why Fiat has programmed a series of checks and
servicing operations every 20,000 km.
It is however important to remember that scheduled ser-
vicing does not completely cover all the car’s requirements:
also in the initial run-in period before 20,000 km service
coupon and later, between each servicing interval, ordi-
nary care is still required, such as for example routine
check and topping-up the level of fluids, tyre pressure
check, etc...
CORRECT USE
OF THE CAR
IMPORTANT Scheduled Servicing coupons are specified
by the Manufacturer. Failure to have them carried out may
invalidate the warranty.
Schedule servicing can be carried out by any Fiat Dealership,
at pre-established times.
If during each operation, in addition to the ones pro-
grammed, the need arises for further replacements or re-
pairs, these may only be carried out with the express
agreement of the Customer.
IMPORTANT It is advisable to contact a Fiat Dealership
in the event of any minor operating failure, without wait-
ing for the next service coupon.
If the car is used frequently for towing a trailer, the inter-
val between services should be reduced.

YEARLY INSPECTION SCHEDULEFor cars with an annual mileage of below 20,000 km (for
example about 15,000 km) the following yearly inspec-
tion schedule is advised:❒
check conditions/wear of tyres and adjust pressure if
necessary (including spare wheel);
❒
check lighting system operation (headlights, direction
indicators, hazard warning lights, boot light, passenger’s
compartment, instrument panel warning lights, etc...);
❒
check wiper/washer system operation, adjust nozzles;
❒
check windscreen/rear window blade position/wear;
❒
check front disc brake pad conditions and wear;
❒
check cleanliness of bonnet and boot locks and lever
cleanliness and lubrication;
❒
sight inspect the conditions of: engine, gearbox, trans-
mission, pipes and hoses (exhaust – fuel supply – brak-
ing system) rubber parts (boots – sleeves – bushes etc.),
fuel and brake system hoses;
❒
check battery charge;
❒
visually check the various drive belt conditions;
❒
check and top-up liquids if required (engine coolant,
brakes, windscreen washer, battery, etc.);
❒
change engine oil;
❒
change engine oil filter;
❒
change pollen filter (for versions/markets where pro-
vided).
ADDITIONAL INTERVENTIONSEvery 1,000 km or before long journeys, check and, if nec-
essary, top-up the following:❒
engine coolant fluid level;
❒
brake fluid level;
❒
battery fluid level;
❒
windscreen washer fluid level;
❒
tyre pressure and conditions.
Every 3,000 km check the following and top-up, if required:
❒
engine oil level.
You are recommended to use FL Selenia products de-
signed and produced specifically for Fiat cars (see table
“Capacities” in chapter “Technical specifications”).
IMPORTANT – Engine oil
Should prevailing use of the car be under one of the fol-
lowing specially heavy conditions:
❒
trailer or caravan towing;
❒
dusty roads;
❒
short distances (less than 7–8 km) and with external
temperatures below zero;

WHEELS AND TYRESCheck the pressure of each tyre, including the space-saver
wheel, approximately every two weeks and before long
journeys: the pressure should be checked with the tyre
rested and cold.
While driving the car, the pressure increases under stan-
dard conditions: for the correct tyre inflation pressure, see
“Wheels” in “Technical specifications” chapter.
Incorrect pressure causes abnormal tyre wear fig. 185:
A standard pressure: tread evenly worn.
B low pressure: tread particularly worn at the edges.
C high pressure: tread particularly worn in the centre.
❒
the ceiling lights must be off. The car is however pro-
vided with an automatic system for switching-off inter-
nal lights;
❒
do not keep accessories (e.g. sound system, hazard
warning lights, etc...) switched on for a long time when
the engine is not running;
❒
before performing any operation on the electric system,
disconnect the battery negative cable;
❒
battery terminals shall always be perfectly tightened.
IMPORTANT If the charge level remains for a long time
under 50%, the battery is damaged by sulphation, reduc-
ing its capacity and starting attitude.
The battery will also be more at risk of freezing (e.g. al-
ready at −10 °C). Refer to the paragraph “Car inactivity”
in “Starting and driving” if the car is left parked for a long
time.
If after buying the car, you want to install electric acces-
sories which require permanent electric supply (alarm, etc.)
or accessories influencing the electrical supply require-
ments, contact Fiat Dealership whose skilled personnel, in
addition to suggesting the most suitable devices included
in Lineaccessori Fiat, will evaluate the overall electric ab-
sorption, checking whether the car’s electric system is ca-
pable of withstanding the load required, or whether it
should be integrated with a more powerful battery.
Since these devices continue absorbing energy even when
the ignition key is off, they gradually run down the battery.

❒
to allow even wear between the front and rear tyres,
it is advisable to change them over every 10–15 thou-
sand kilometres, keeping them on the same side of the
car so as not to reverse the direction of rotation. The tyres must be replaced when the tread is less than
1.6 mm thick. In all cases, follow the laws in force in the
country where you are driving.
IMPORTANT NOTES
❒
Avoid braking suddenly, burning starts and violent
knocks against curbs, potholes or other obstacles if pos-
sible. Driving for long stretches over bumpy roads can
damage the tyres;
❒
check the tyres regularly for cuts on the sides, swelling
or irregular tread wear. Contact a Fiat Dealership if re-
quired;
❒
avoid overloading the car when travelling: this may cause
serious damage to the wheels and tyres;
❒
if a tyre is punctured, stop the vehicle immediately
and change it to avoid damage to the tyre, the rim, the
suspensions and the steering system;
❒
a tyre will age even if it is not used much. Cracks in
the tread and on the sidewalls are a sign of ageing. Have
the tyres checked by skilled personnel if they have been
fitted for longer than six years. Remember to check
also the space-saver wheel very carefully;
❒
in case of replacement, always fit new tyres, avoiding
those with an unknown origin;
❒
if a tyre is replaced, also change the inflation valve;
Remember that the road holding qualities
of your car also depend on the correct in-
flation pressure of the tyres.
WARNING
If the pressure is too low the tyre will
get overheated, with the risk of serious
damage.
WARNING
Avoid moving the tyres from the right side
of the car to the left side and vice versa.
WARNING
Never submit alloy rims to repainting
treatments requiring to use temperatures
exceeding 150 °C. The mechanical properties of
the wheels could be impaired.
