2012 FIAT FIORINO maintenance schedule

ELECTRICAL ACCESSORIES
If, after buying the vehicle, you decide to add electrical accessories (with the risk of gradually draining the battery),
visit a Fiat Dealership. They can calculate the overall electrical requirement and check that the vehicle electric sys-
tem can support the required load.
SCHEDULED SERVICING
Correct vehicle servicing is essential for ensuring it stays in tip-top condition and safeguards its safety features, its
environmental friendliness and low running costs for a long time to come.
THE OWNER’S MANUAL CONTAINS…
... important information, advise and warnings for correct use, driving safety and maintenance of your vehicle over
time. Pay special attention to the symbols
"(personal safety) #(environmental protection) (vehicle integri-
ty).

will appear automatically with the key at
MARstarting from 2,000 km (or 1240 mi)
and will be presented automatically every
200 km (or 124 mi). The indications will
appear more frequently when there are
200 km left. The indication will appear in
kilometres or miles depending on the unit
set. When the next scheduled servicing
is approaching, the message “Service” will
appear on the display followed by the

RUNNING COSTS
Here are some useful tips to save fuel and
minimize polluting emissions of CO
2and
other pollutants (nitric oxide, unburnt hy-
drocarbons, fine dusts etc…).GENERAL REMARKS
Vehicle maintenance
Have checks and adjustments carried out
in accordance with the “Scheduled Service
Plan”.
Tyres
Check tyre pressure regularly at least
once every four weeks: excessively low
pressure will increase consumption be-
cause rolling resistance will be higher.
Unnecessary loads
Do not travel with an overloaded boot.
The weight of the vehicle (especially when
driving in town) and its trim greatly affect
fuel consumption and stability.
Roof rack/ski rack
Remove the roof rack or the ski rack from
the roof after use. These accessories de-
crease aerodynamic penetration of the ve-
hicle and have a negative effect on fuel
consumption. It is better to use a trailer
to transport particularly bulky objects.Electric devices
Use electric devices only for the amount
of time needed. The rear heated window,
additional headlights, windscreen wipers
and heater fan need a considerable
amount of energy, therefore increasing fu-
el consumption (up to +25% in the urban
cycle).
Climate control
The climate control system leads to high-
er fuel consumption (up to +20% on av-
erage): use air vents only when the ex-
ternal temperature allows it.
Spoilers
The use of non-certified spoilers may ad-
versely affect air drag and fuel consump-
tion levels.

SCHEDULED SERVICING
Correct servicing is essential for ensur-
ing long vehicle life under the best condi-
tions.
This is why Fiat has planned a series of
checks and maintenance operations every
30,000 km.
Scheduled servicing will not however ful-
ly cover all of the needs of your vehicle.
Even before carrying out the 30,000 km
service coupon, and later between one
consecutive coupons, ordinary vehicle
care is still required such as for example
routine checks to top up the fluid levels,
if necessary, tyre pressure checks, etc.IMPORTANT Scheduled service coupons
are required by the manufacturer. Non-
performance of service coupons may
cause the warranty to become null and
void.
Scheduled Servicing is performed by all Fi-
at Dealerships at pre-established times.
If during scheduled servicing, the need aris-
es for further replacements or repairs,
these may be carried out exclusively af-
ter obtaining the explicit agreement from
the Customer.IMPORTANT You are advised to contact
the Fiat Dealership in the event of any mi-
nor operating faults, without waiting for
the next service coupon.
If your vehicle is used frequently for tow-
ing, the interval between service coupons
must be reduced.

der one of the following specially heavy
conditions:
❒trailer towing;
❒dusty roads;
❒short repeated distances (less than 7-
8 km) and with external temperatures
below zero;
❒frequently idling engine or long distance

frequently than shown on the Scheduled
Servicing Plan:
❒check front disk brake pad conditions
and wear;❒check cleanness of bonnet and boot
locks and lever cleanness and lubrica-
tion;
❒visually inspect the conditions of: the
engine, gearbox, transmission, pipes and
hoses (exhaust - fuel - brakes), rubber
parts (boots, sleeves, bushes, etc.);
❒check the battery and the battery fluid
(electrolyte) (this check must be car-
ried out by skilled personnel only or by
the Fiat Dealership – also refer to the
instructions provided in the “Battery”
paragraph of this section);
❒visually check the various drive belt
conditions;
❒check pollen filter and replace it, if re-

BRAKE FLUID
Release cap A-fig. 7. Check that the liq-
uid contained in the tank is at the maxi-
mum level.
Fluid level in the reservoir must not ex-
ceed the MAXmark.
Use the brake fluid shown in the “Fluids
and lubricants” table (see section “Tech-
nical Specifications”). When opening the
cap A, make sure that no dirt gets into the
reservoir.For topping up always use a funnel with
built-in filter (mesh smaller than or equal
to 0.12 mm).
IMPORTANT Brake fluid absorbs mois-
ture. For this reason, if the vehicle is main-
ly used in areas with a high degree of at-
mospheric humidity, the fluid should be
replaced at more frequent intervals than
specified in the “Scheduled servicing plan”.
Do not travel with the wind-
screen washing reservoir
empty: the action of the windscreen
washer is essential for improving vis-
ibility.
WARNING
Some commercial additives
for windscreen washing are
flammable. The engine compartment
contains hot parts which could start
a fire if they come into contact.
WARNINGfig. 7F0T0080m
Prevent brake fluid which is
highly corrosive from coming
into contact with painted
parts. Should that occur, im-
mediately wash with water.
