IN AN EMERGENCY

SCHEDULED
SERVICINGCorrect servicing is essential for
ensuring long vehicle life under the best
conditions.
This is why Fiat has planned a series of
checks and maintenance operations
every 48,000 km depending on the
engine version.
The scheduled maintenance does not,
however, cover all the needs of the
vehicle: also during the initial period,
before the 48,000 km service and
between one service and the next,
ordinary care such as systematic fluid
level checks with top ups and tyre
pressure checks, etc. remain
necessary.
IMPORTANT The Scheduled Servicing
services are set out by the
Manufacturer. Failure to have them
carried out may invalidate the warranty.
Scheduled Servicing can be carried
out by any Fiat Dealership, at
pre-established times.
If during each operation, in addition to
the ones scheduled, the need arises for
further replacements or repairs, these
may only be carried out with the
express 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 your vehicle is used frequently for
towing, the interval between service
coupons must be reduced.

SERVICING AND MAINTENANCE

BATTERYThe battery is “limited maintenance”
type: under normal conditions of use,
the electrolyte does not need topping
up with distilled water.
It does, however, need to be checked
periodically at a Fiat Dealership or
by specialist personnel to make sure it
is working correctly.
The battery is located inside the
passenger compartment, in front of the
pedals. Remove the protective cover
to gain access to it.
184) 185)
REPLACING THE
BATTERY
If required, replace the battery with an

USEFUL ADVICE FOR
EXTENDING THE LIFE OF
YOUR BATTERY
To avoid draining your battery and
make it last longer, observe the
following instructions:
❒when you park the vehicle, ensure
that the doors, tailgate and bonnet
are closed properly, to prevent any
roof lights from remaining on inside
the passenger's compartment;
❒switch off all roof lights inside the
vehicle: the vehicle is however
equipped with a system which
switches all internal lights off
automatically;
❒do not keep accessories (e.g. sound
system, hazard lights, etc.) switched
on for a long time when the engine
is not running;
❒before carrying out any operation on
the electrical system, disconnect the
negative battery cable through the
suitable terminal;
❒Completely tighten the battery
terminals.
