Change brake fluid (or every 24 months)●●
Change pollen filter (or every 12 months)●●●●●(*) Regardless of the distance covered, the timing belt must be changed every four years for particularly demanding use (cold climates,
city driving, long periods of idling) or at least every five years in all other cases.
(**) If the car is used mainly for town driving, the engine oil and filter should be changed every 12 months.
(***) The actual interval for changing the oil and replacing the engine oil filter depends on the car usage conditions and is signalled by
the warning light or message (if present) in the instrument panel and must never exceed 24 months.

FUEL CONSUMPTIONThe fuel consumption figures given in the table below are determined on the basis of the type-approval tests
laid down by specific European Directives.
The procedures below are followed for measuring consumption:
❒urban cycle: cold starting followed by driving that simulates urban use of the car;
❒extra-urban cycle: frequent accelerating in all gears, simulating extra-urban use of the car: speed varies
between 0 and 120 km/h;
❒combined fuel consumption: calculated with a weighting of approximately 37% of the urban cycle and 63%
of the extra-urban cycle.
IMPORTANT The type of route, traffic conditions, weather conditions, driving style, general condition of the
car, trim level/equipment/accessories, use of the climate control system, car load, presence of roof racks
and other situations that adversely affect the aerodynamics or wind resistance lead to different fuel
consumption figures than those measured.
IMPORTANT The fuel consumption will get more regular only after having driven the first 3000 km.
