AND CARE
IMPORTANT Scheduled Services are pre-
scribed by the manufacturer. Failure to
stick to the schedule may invalidate the
warranty.
Scheduled Servicing is performed by all Fi-
at Dealerships at pre-arranged times.
If, during each part of the service, the need
arises for additional replacements or re-
pairs, these may be carried out only with
the explicit agreement of the Customer.IMPORTANT You are advised to contact
a Fiat Dealership in the event of any mi-
nor operating faults, without waiting for
the next service.
If your car is used frequently for towing,
the interval between services should be
reduced.SCHEDULED SERVICING
Correct maintenance is essential for
ensuring long car life under the best con-
ditions.
This is why Fiat has planned a series of
checks and services every 30,000 km.
It is, however, important to remember
that scheduled servicing does not com-
pletely cover all the car’s requirements:
even in the initial period before 30,000 km,
and then subsequently between one ser-
vice and another, ordinary care is always
required such as routine checks involv-
ing topping up fluid level, checking tyre
pressures etc...
