MAINTENANCE
If the car is equipped with esseesse kit (for versions/markets, where provided), the engine oil and engine oil filtermust be changed every 10,000 km.
(❍) In order to ensure correct efficiency and avoid damaging the engine, it is necessary to: - exclusively use certified spark plugs specific for the 1.4 TB BZ Abarth engines. All candles to be fitted must be
of the same type and same manufacturer (see recommendations reported in the “Engine” paragraph);- strictly respect the candles’ Scheduled Maintenance Plan; - it is recommended to apply to Abarth Dealership.

Check rear disk brake pad conditions and wear
Replace the air filter cartridge
Top up fluids (engine coolant, brakes, windscreen washer, battery, etc.)
Check the conditions of the distribution control toothed belt
Replace the distribution control toothed belt (*)
Replace the spark plugs (❍)
Check engine control system operation(through diagnosis socket)
Check the mechanical gearbox oil level
Change engine oil and replace oil filter
Change brake fluid (or every 24 months)
Change the pollen filter (or anyway every year)
Check emissions at the exhaust
(*) Regardless of the km covered, the timing belt shall be replaced every 4 years for particularly demanding use (cold climates, driving in the city, idling for a long time) or in any case every 5 years

Engine oil consumption
The maximum engine oil consumption is
usually 400 grams every 1000 km.
When the car is new, the engine needs
to run in, therefore the engine oil con-
sumption can only be considered stabilised
after the first 5,000 ÷ 6,000 km.
IMPORTANT The oil consumption de-
pends on driving style and the conditions
under which the car is used.
IMPORTANT After adding or changing
the oil, let the engine turn over for a few
seconds and wait a few minutes after turn-
ing it off before you check the level. ENGINE OIL fig.1
Check the oil level a few minutes (about
5) after the engine has stopped, with the
car parked on level ground.
The oil level shall be included between the
MIN and MAX marks on the dipstick B.
The range between the MIN and MAX
levels corresponds to approximately 1
litre of oil.
If the oil level is near or even under the
MIN line, add oil through the filler Ato
reach the MAX line.
Oil level shall never exceed the MAX line.
Proceed very carefully inside
the engine compartment
when the engine is hot: risk of burns.
Remember that the fan may start up
if the engine is hot: risk of injury. Pay
attention to scarves, ties and other
loose fitting garments: they might get
caught by moving components.
WARNING
Don’t add any oil having dif-
ferent characteristics from
those of the existing engine oil.
The exhausted engine oil and
the replaced oil filter contain
substances that may be dan-
gerous for the environment. It
is advisable to have oil and filters
changed by a Abarth Dealership where
they will be disposed of according to
the law.
