miles). This is automatically displayed, when the
ignition key is turned to MAR-ON, starting from
2,000 km (or the equivalent in miles) from this
point and reappears every 200 km (or the
equivalent in miles). Below 200 km servicing
indications are more frequent. The indication will
appear in kilometres or miles depending on the unit
of measurement settings. When the next
scheduled servicing is approaching, the message
"Service" will appear on the display, followed by the
number of kilometres or miles left, when the
ignition key is turned to MAR-ON. Go to a Fiat
Dealership, where the "Scheduled Servicing Plan"
operations will be performed and the message will

SERVICING AND MAINTENANCE
SCHEDULED SERVICINGCorrect servicing is essential in guaranteeing a long
life for the car under the best conditions.
Fiat has therefore arranged a series of checks and
service operations to be carried out every 30,000
kilometres (for petrol versions) or every 35,000
kilometres (for 1.6 MultiJet and 2.0 MultiJet
versions).
It is, however, important to remember that
scheduled servicing does not completely cover all
the car's requirements: even in the initial period
before 30,000/35,000 km (the latter for 1.6 MultiJet
and 2.0 MultiJet versions), and then subsequently
between one service and another, ordinary care
is still required such as routine checks involving
topping up fluid levels, checking tyre pressures, etc.IMPORTANT The Scheduled Servicing Plan
coupons are set out by the Manufacturer. Failure to
have them carried out may invalidate the warranty.
Scheduled Servicing is performed by all Fiat
Dealerships, at pre-established times.
If, during any 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
Dealership of any small operating irregularities
without waiting for the next service.
If the car is used frequently for towing a trailer, the
interval between services should be reduced.

BATTERYThe car is fitted with a low-maintenance battery: no
top-ups with distilled water are needed in standard
conditions of use. It does, however, need to be
checked periodically at a Fiat Dealership or by
specialist personnel to make sure it is working
correctly.
WARNING
Battery liquid is poisonous and
corrosive. Avoid contact with the skin
and eyes. Keep naked flames and sources of
sparks away from the battery: risk of
explosion and fire.
WARNING
Using the battery with insufficient fluid
irreparably damages the battery and
may 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 installation of electric and
electronic devices may cause severe
damage to your car. After purchasing
your car, if you wish to install any accessories
(anti-theft , car phone, etc .), contact a Fiat
Dealership, which will suggest the most
appropriate devices for your vehicle, and will,
most importantly, advise you if a higher
capacity batter y needs to be installed.Batteries contain substances which are
ver y dangerous for the environment .
To replace the battery, we recommend
contacting a Fiat Dealership to dispose of your
old battery in full respect of the environment
and in compliance with all applicable laws and
regulations.
WARNING
If the car will be unused for an
extended period of time in extremely
cold weather conditions, remove the battery
and store it in a heated area to avoid it
freezing.
WARNING
Always wear appropriate goggles when
working on or near the battery.
