Service (Programmed maintenance)
Through this function it is possible to display information
related to regular maintenance intervals.
This information can be consulted as follows:
– press SET ESC: the service intervals appear in the dis-
play in km or mi, depending on the previous setting (see
“Unit of distance” paragraph);
– press the SET ESC button to return to the menu screen
or hold the button down to return to the standard screen.
N.B. The „Scheduled Servicing Plan” provides for the ve-
hicle to be serviced every 30,000 km/35,000 km (depending
on the version) (or the equivalent in miles). This is auto-
matically displayed, when the ignition key is at MAR, from
2,000 km (or the equivalent in miles) and reappears every
200 km (or the equivalent in miles). Below 200 km the
reminders become more frequent. The indication will ap-
pear in kilometres or miles depending on the measure-
ment unit settings. When the next scheduled service is ap-
proaching, the message „Service” will appear on the dis-
play, followed by the number of kilometres or miles left,
when the key is turned to MAR. Go to the Fiat Service
Network, where the „Planned Maintenance Programme”
operations will be performed and the message will be re-
set.

❒synchronised operation (but with half-stroke frequen-
cy) when the windscreen wiper is on;
❒continuous operation with reverse engaged and func-

SCHEDULED SERVI CING
Correct servicing is essential for ensuring long vehicle life
under the best conditions.
This is why Fiat has planned a series of checks and ser-
vice operations every 30,000/35,000 km (according to ver-
sions).
It is, however, important to remember that scheduled ser-
vicing does not completely cover all the vehicle’s re-
quirements: even in the initial period before 30,000/35,000
km, and then subsequently between one service and an-
other, ordinary care is always required such as routine
checks involving topping up fluid levels, checking tyre pres-
sures etc... IMPORTANT Scheduled Services are prescribed by the
manufacturer. Failure to stick to the schedule may invali-
date the warranty.
Scheduled Servicing is performed by all Fiat Dealerships at
pre-arranged times.
If, during each part of the service, the need arises for ad-
ditional replacements or repairs, these may be carried out
only with the explicit agreement of the Customer.
IMPORTANT You are advised to contact a Fiat Dealer-
ship immediately in the event of any minor operating faults,
without waiting for the next service.
If your vehicle is used frequently for towing trailers, the
interval between scheduled services must be reduced.

BRAKE FLUID fig. 180-181-182-183-184-185
Undo cap E and check that the liquid in the reservoir is
at the maximum level.
Fluid level in the reservoir must not exceed the MAX
mark.
If you do need to top up, use the brake fluid shown in the
“Fluids and lubricants” table (see “Technical Specifica-
tions”).
NB Carefully clean the reservoir cap E and surrounding
surfaces.
When opening the cap, make sure that no dirt gets into
the reservoir.
Always use a funnel with a built-in filter with a mesh of 0.12
mm or less for topping up.
IMPORTANT Brake fluid absorbs moisture. For this rea-
son, if the vehicle is mainly used in areas with a high de-
gree of atmospheric humidity, the fluid should be replaced
at more frequent intervals than specified in the “Service
schedule”.

Prevent brake fluid, which is highly corro-
sive, from coming into contact with paint-
ed parts. Should this occur, immediately
wash with water.
Brake fluid is poisonous and highly corro-
sive. In the event of accidental contact,
wash the parts immediately with water and mild
soap, then rinse with plenty of water. In case of
swallowing, immediately call a doctor.
WARNING
The symbol π on the container indicates
a synthetic brake fluid, which is different
from a mineral fluid. Using a mineral-type fluid
will damage the special rubber seals of the brak-
ing system beyond repair.
