2013 FIAT 500 ABARTH change time

WELCOME FROM FIAT
Congratulations on selecting your new FIAT vehicle. Be assured that it represents
precision workmanship, distinctive styling, and high quality - all essentials that are
traditional to our vehicles.
Your new FIAT vehicle has characteristics to enhance the driver's control under
some driving conditions. These are to assist the driver and are never a substitute for
attentive driving. They can never take the driver's place. Always drive carefully.
Your new vehicle has many features for the comfort and convenience of you and
your passengers. Some of these should not be used when driving because they
take your eyes from the road or your attention from driving. Never text while driving
or take your eyes more than momentarily off the road.
This guide illustrates and describes the operation of features and equipment that
are either standard or optional on this vehicle. This guide may also include a de-
scription of features and equipment that are no longer available or were not ordered
on this vehicle. Please disregard any features and equipment described in this guide
that are not available on this vehicle. Chrysler Group LLC reserves the right to make
changes in design and specifications and/or make additions to or improvements to
its products without imposing any obligation upon itself to install them on products
previously manufactured.
This User Guide has been prepared to help you quickly become acquainted with
the important features of your vehicle. It contains most things you will need to oper-
ate and maintain the vehicle, including emergency information.
The DVD includes a computer application containing detailed owner's information
which can be viewed on a personal computer or MAC computer. The multimedia
DVD also includes videos which can be played on any standard DVD player. Addi-
tional DVD operational information is located on the back of the DVD sleeve.
For complete owner information, refer to your Owner's Manual on the
DVD in the owner’s kit provided at the time of new vehicle purchase.
For your convenience, the information contained on the DVD may also be printed
and saved for future reference.
We are committed to protecting our environment and natural resources. By con-
verting from paper to electronic delivery for the majority of the user information for
your vehicle, together we greatly reduce the demand for tree-based products and
lessen the stress on our environment.

utes, the system will cool and return to normal operation.

NEUTRAL and idle the vehicle. If the temperature reading does not return to nor-
mal, turn the engine off immediately.
• We recommend that you do not operate the vehicle or engine damage will occur.
Have the vehicle serviced immediately.
WARNING!
A hot engine cooling system is dangerous. You or others could be badly burned

MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE
Your vehicle is equipped with an automatic oil change indicator system. The oil
change indicator system will remind you that it is time to take your vehicle in for
scheduled maintenance.
Based on engine operation conditions, the oil change indicator message will illumi-
nate. This means that service is required for your vehicle. Operating conditions such
as frequent short-trips, trailer tow, extremely hot or cold ambient temperatures, and
E85 fuel usage will influence when the “Change Oil” message is displayed. Severe
Operating Conditions can cause the change oil message to illuminate as early as
3,500 miles (5,600 km) since last reset. Have your vehicle serviced as soon as pos-
sible, within the next 500 miles (805 km).
NOTE:Under no circumstances should oil change intervals exceed 10,000 miles (16,000 km) ortwelve months, whichever comes first.

• Check engine oil level
• Check windshield washer fluid level
• Check the tire inflation pressures and look for unusual wear or damage
• Check the fluid levels of the coolant reservoir, brake master cylinder, and trans-
mission as needed
• Check function of all interior and exterior lights
Required Maintenance Intervals.
Refer to the Maintenance Schedules on the following pages for required mainte-
nance.
At Every Oil Change Interval As Indicated By Oil Change Indicator System:
