SERVICING AND MAINTENANCE
SCHEDULED SERVICING
Correct servicing is essential for ensuring long
vehicle life under the best conditions.
This is why Fiat has planned a series of checks and
services every 30,000 km.
It is, however, important to remember that
scheduled servicing does not completely cover all the
requirements of the car: even in the initial period
before 30,000 km, and then subsequently between
one service and another, ordinary care is always
required such as routine checks involving topping up
fluid level, checking tyre pressures etc.
IMPORTANT The Scheduled Servicing Plan coupons
are set out by the Manufacturer. Failure to comply
with the schedule may invalidate the warranty.Scheduled Servicing is performed by all Fiat
Dealerships at given times.
If, during each part of the service, the need arises for
additional replacements or repairs, these may be
carried out only with the explicit agreement of the
Customer.
IMPORTANT It is advisable to inform a Fiat Dealer
of any small operating irregularities without waiting
for the next service.
The interval between scheduled services must be
reduced if your vehicle is used frequently for towing
trailers.

BATTERY
The battery is of the “limited maintenance” type:
under normal conditions of use, the electrolyte does
not need topping up with distilled water.
It does, however, need to be checked regularly at a
Fiat Dealership or by specialist personnel to make
sure it is working properly.
WARNING
The battery fluid is poisonous and
c
orrosive. Avoid contact with the skin
and eyes. Keep naked flames and sources of
sparks away from the battery: risk of explosion
and fire.
WARNING
Running the battery with an excessively
lo
w liquid level will damage the battery
beyond repair and even cause an explosion.
REPLACING THE BATTERY
If required, replace the battery with an original spare
part with the same specifications.
If a battery with different specifications is fitted, the
service intervals given in the “Scheduled Servicing
Plan” will no longer be valid.Follow the battery manufacturer's instructions for
maintenance.
Incorrect assembly of electric and
electronic devices may cause severe
damage to your vehicle. Go to a Fiat
Dealership if you want to install accessories
(alarms, mobile phone, etc .): they will suggest the
most suitable devices and advise you if a higher
capacity battery needs to be installed.
Batteries contain substances that are very
harmful to the environment .You are
recommended to go to a Fiat Dealership
to have the battery replaced where the old
battery will be disposed of respecting both the
environment and the laws in force.
If the vehicle needs to be off the road for
a long period under conditions of intense
cold, remove the battery and take it to
a heated place, otherwise it may freeze.
WARNING
When performing any operation on the
batter
y or near it , always protect your
eyes with the special goggles.
