SERVICING AND MAINTENANCE
SCHEDULED SERVICINGCorrect servicing is essential in guaranteeing a long
life for the car under the best conditions.
This is why Fiat has planned a series of checks and
services every 35,000 km.
However, scheduled servicing does not suffice to
cover all the car’s requirements: even in the initial
period before the 35,000 km service, and then
subsequently between one service and the next,
ordinary care is always required, such as routine
checks and topping up fluid levels, checking tyre
pressures etc.
IMPORTANT The Scheduled Servicing Plan coupons
are set out by the Manufacturer. Failure to have
them carried out may invalidate the warranty.Scheduled Servicing is performed by all Fiat
Dealerships, at pre-established times.
If, during any service, the need arises for additional
replacements or repairs, these may be carried out
only with the explicit agreement of the Customer.
IMPORTANT It is advisable to inform a Fiat
Dealership of any small operating irregularities
without waiting for the next service.
If the car is used frequently for towing a trailer, the
interval between services should be reduced.
