ing every 20,000 km (or 12,000 miles). This is automati-
cally displayed when the ignition key is in the MAR posi-
tion, from 2,000 km (or the equivalent in miles) before the
service and reappears every 200 km (or the equivalent

quent. The displaying will be in kilometres or miles de-
pending on the measurement unit settings. When the next
scheduled servicing is approaching (“coupon”), the mes-
sage “Service” will appear on the display followed by

REPLACING A WHEELGENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
The car can be delivered (upon request/where provided)
with standard spare wheel or space-saver wheel; see
changing instructions on the following paragraphs. Wheel
changing and correct use of the jack and spare wheel call
for some precautions as listed below.
The space-saver wheel (where provided) is
specific to your car, do not use it on other
models, nor use the spare wheel of other models
on your car. The space-saver wheel must only be
used in case of emergency. It shall only be used for
the distance necessary to reach a service point and
the car speed shall not exceed 80 km/h. The spare
wheel has an orange sticker that summarises the
main cautions for use and limitations. The sticker
should never be removed or covered. Never apply
a wheel cup on a space-saver wheel. The sticker
gives the following information in four languages:
Caution! For temporary use only! 80 km/h max.!
Replace by standard wheel as soon as possible. Do
not cover this label in use. If you change the type
of wheel (alloy rims instead of steel rims) you will
have to change the entire set of fastening bolts with
another set of suitably sized bolts.
WARNING
Alert other drivers that the car is station-
ary in compliance with local regulations:
hazard warning lights, warning triangle, etc. Any
passengers on board should leave the car, espe-
cially if it is heavily laden. Passengers should stay
away from on-coming traffic while the wheel is
being changed. If parked on a slope or rough sur-
face, chock the wheels with wedges or other suit-
able devices.
WARNING
The driving features of the car may change
when a space-saver wheel is fitted. Avoid
sudden acceleration and braking, sudden steering
and fast cornering. The total life of a space-saver
wheel is approximately 3000 km, after which it
must be replaced by another wheel of the same
type. Never attempt to fit a conventional tyre on
a rim designed for use as a space-saver wheel.
Have the punctured wheel repaired and replaced
as soon as possible. Two or more space-saver
wheels should never be used together. Do not
grease the threads of bolts before installing them:
they might slip out.

REPLACING FUSESGENERAL FEATURES fig. 165
Fuses protect the electric system: they cut in (i.e. they
blow) in the event of a failure or improper action on the
system.
When a device does not work, check the efficiency of its
fuse: the filament A must be intact. If it is, replace the blown
fuse with another with the same amperage (same colour).
B undamaged fuse.
C fuse with damaged filament.
To facilitate fuse replacement, use the pliers D hooked
to the fuse-box on the dashboard left-hand side.

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.
