MAINTENANCE
SCHEDULE
The following table shows the times when
you should perform regular maintenance
on your vehicle. This table shows in miles,
kilometers and months when you should
perform inspections, adjustments, lubri-
cation and other services. These intervals
should be shortened if driving is usually
done under severe conditions (refer to
“Maintenance Recommended under Se-
vere Driving Conditions”).
IMPORTANT The Programmed Mainte-
nance coupons are specified by the Man-
ufacturer. The failure to have them car-
ried out may invalidate the warranty.
IMPORTANT Whenever it becomes nec-
essary to replace parts on your vehicle,
it is recommended that you use genuine
Fiat replacement parts.
Vehicle maintenance should
be entrusted to Fiat Dealer-
ship. For routine and minor mainte-
nance operations you wish to carry
out yourself, always make sure you
have the proper equipment, genuine
Fiat spare parts and the necessary flu-
ids; do not however carry out these
operations if you have no experience.
WARNING
The shock absorbers are
filled with high pressure gas.
Never attempt to disassemble it or
throw it into a fire. Avoid storing it
near a heater or heating device.
When scrapping the absorber, the gas
must be released from the absorber
safely. Ask your Fiat Dealership for as-
sistance.
