2014 FIAT 500 ABARTH maintenance reset

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.
