particularly onerous conditions:
❒ towing trailers;
❒ dusty roads;
❒ short, repeated journeys (less than 7-8 km) at sub-ze-
ro temperatures;
❒ frequently idling engine or long-distance, low-speed dri-
ving (e.g. door-to-door deliveries) or lengthy inactivi-
ty;
❒ driving in towns and cities;
you should perform the following inspections more fre-
quently than shown on the Scheduled Servicing Plan:
❒ check front disc brake pad conditions and wear;
❒ check cleanliness of bonnet and boot locks, and clean-
liness and lubrication of linkages;
❒ visually inspect the conditions of: engine, gearbox,
transmission, pipes and tubes (exhaust – fuel – brakes),
rubber parts (boots, sleeves, bushes, etc.);
❒ check battery charge and fluid level (electrolite) (check
to be carried out only by specialists or at a Fiat Deal-
ership – see the “Battery” paragraph in this section);
❒ visually inspect the condition of the accessory drive
belts;
❒ check pollen filter and replace, if required;
❒ check and, if necessary, replace air filter.
REGULAR CHECKS
Every 1,000 km or before long journeys, check and, if nec-
essary, top up:
❒ engine coolant fluid level;
❒ brake fluid level;
❒ windscreen washer level;
❒ tyre pressure and conditions.
❒ operation of lighting system (headlights, direction in-
dicators, hazard lights, etc.);
❒ operation of windscreen washer/wipers system and po-
sitioning/wear of windscreen/rear window wiper blades
(for versions/markets where provided);
Check and top up, if required, the engine oil level every
3,000 km.
