HEAVY USAGE OF THE CAR
Should the car be used predominantly in one of the
following particularly demanding conditions:
❒dusty roads;
❒short distances (less than 7-8 km) and with external
temperatures below zero;
❒frequently idling engine or long distance low speed
driving (e. g. taxis or door-to-door deliveries) or in
the case of long term inactivity;
❒in cities;
perform the following inspections more frequently than
shown on the Scheduled Servicing Plan:
❒check front disc brake pad conditions and wear;
❒check cleanliness of bonnet and boot locks and
linkage cleanliness and lubrication;
❒visually inspect the conditions of: engine, gearbox,
transmission, pipes and hoses (exhaust – fuel
– brakes), rubber parts (boots, sleeves, bushes, etc.);
❒check battery charge and liquid level (electrolyte);
❒visually inspect condition of accessory drive belts;
❒check pollen filter and replace it, if required;
❒check air filter and replace, if required.
PERIODIC CHECKS
Every 1,000 km or before long journeys, check and, if
necessary, top up the following:
❒engine coolant fluid level;
❒brake fluid level;
❒windscreen washer fluid level;
❒tyre pressure and conditions;
❒operation of lighting system (headlights, direction
indicators, hazard lights, etc.);
❒operation of the windscreen wiper/washer system,
position and wear of the windscreen and rear
window wiper blades.
Every 3,000 km check and top up if required: engine oil
level.
It is advisable to use PETRONAS LUBRICANTS products,
designed and produced specifically for Abarth cars (see
table “Capacities” in section “Technical Specifications”).

RUBBER HOSES
As far as the brake system and fuel rubber hoses are
concerned, follow the “Scheduled Servicing Programme”
in this chapter carefully.
Ozone, high temperatures and prolonged lack of fluid in
the system may cause hardening and cracking of the
hoses, with possible leaks.
Careful inspections are therefore necessary.

WINDSCREEN WIPER
BLADES
Periodically clean the rubber part using special products;
TUTELA PROFESSIONAL SC 35 is recommended.
Replace the blades if the rubber edge is deformed or
worn. In any case, it is advisable to replace them
approximately once a year.
A few simple precautions can reduce the possibility of
damage to the blades:
❒make sure that the rubber part is not stuck to the
windscreen at sub-zero temperatures. Use a de-icing
product to release it if required;
❒remove any snow from the glass: in addition to
protecting the blades, this prevents effort from the
motor and overheating;
❒do not operate the windscreen wipers on dry glass.
Driving with worn wiper blades is a
serious hazard, because visibility is
reduced in bad weather.

FUEL CONSUMPTION
The fuel consumption figures given in the table below
are determined on the basis of the type-approval tests
set down by relevant European Directives.
The procedures below are followed for measuring
consumption:
❒urban cycle: cold starting followed by driving that
simulates urban use of the car;
❒extra-urban cycle: drive simulating the driving of the
car out of town with frequent acceleration in all
gears; the speed varies from 0 to 120 km/h;
❒combined consumption: the weighting is around 37%
urban cycle and 63% extra-urban cycle. IMPORTANT The type of route, traffic situations,
weather conditions, driving style, general conditions of
the car, trim level/equipment/accessories, load, climate
control system, roof rack, other situations that affect air
drag may lead to different fuel consumption levels than
those measured.
Fuel consumption according to the current European directive (litres x \
100 km)
