Dealership to have the refitting procedure
carried out. If you would like to proceed
autonomously, special attention must
be paid to the correct coupling of
the retaining clips. Otherwise, noise might
be heard due to an incorrect fastening
of the lower cover with the upper cover.

PERIODIC CHECKSEvery1,000km or before long trips
check and, if necessary, top up:
❒engine coolant level;
❒brake fluid level;
❒windscreen washer fluid level;
❒tyre inflation pressure and condition;
❒operation of lighting system
(headlights, direction indicators, hazard
warning lights, etc.);
❒operation of screen washer/wiper
system and positioning/wear of
windscreen/rear window wiper blades.
Every3,000km, check and top up if
required: engine oil level.HEAVY-DUTY USE OF THE
VEHICLEIf the vehicle is used mainly under one
of the following conditions:
❒towing a trailer or motorhome;
❒dusty roads;
❒short, repeated journeys (less than
7-8 km) at sub-zero outside
temperatures;
❒engine often idling or driving long
distances at low speeds or long periods
of inactivity;
the following checks must be carried
out more often than indicated in the
Scheduled Servicing Plan:❒check front disc brake pad condition
and wear;
❒check cleanliness of bonnet and boot
locks, cleanliness and lubrication of
linkage;
❒visually inspect conditions of: engine,
gearbox, transmission, pipes and
hoses (exhaust/fuel system/brakes) and
rubber elements (boots/sleeves/
bushes, etc.);
❒check battery charge and battery
fluid level (electrolyte);
❒visually inspect conditions of the
accessory drive belts;
❒check and, if necessary, change
engine oil and replace oil filter;
❒check and, if necessary, replace
pollen filter;
❒check and, if necessary, replace air
cleaner.
On versions equipped with automatic
transmission AT9, change the
transmission oil and replace filters after
90,000 km (or 2 years) if the vehicle
is used in the following conditions: city
driving, short and repeated journeys
(less than 7-8 km) or frequent towing of
trailers or caravans.

ENGINE OIL
158)59)
Check the oil level a few minutes (about
5) after the engine has stopped, with
the vehicle parked on level ground.
Check that the oil level is between the
MIN and MAX references on the
dipstick A.
If the oil level is near or under the MIN
reference, add oil through the filler B
until it reaches the MAX reference.
Take out the engine oil dipstick A, clean
it with a lint-free cloth and reinsert it.
Extract it again and check that the level
is between the MIN and MAX marks
on the dipstick.Engine oil consumption
60)4)
The maximum engine oil consumption
is usually 400 grams every 1,000 km.
When the vehicle is new, the engine
needs to be run in; therefore the engine
oil consumption can only be considered
stabilised after the first 5,000 - 6,000
km.IMPORTANT After adding or changing
the oil, let the engine turn over for a few
seconds and wait a few minutes after
turning it off before you check the level.
ENGINE COOLANT
159)61)
If the level is too low, unscrew the cap
of reservoir C and add the fluid
described in the "Technical
Specifications" chapter.WINDSCREEN/REAR
WINDOW WASHER FLUID
160) 161)
If the level is too low, lift reservoir cap D
and add the fluid described in the
chapter "Technical Specifications".
IMPORTANT The headlight washer
system (present) will not operate when
the fluid level is low, even though the
windscreen/rear window washer
continues to operate.BRAKE FLUID
162) 163)62)
Check that the fluid is at the max. level.If the fluid level in the reservoir is too
low, undo reservoir cap E and add the
fluid described in the chapter "Technical
Specifications".
IMPORTANT Carefully clean the cap of
the reservoir and the surrounding
surface. Take great care to ensure that
impurities do not enter the reservoir
when the cap is opened.
For topping-up, always use a funnel
with integrated filter with mesh equal to
or lower than 0.12 mm.
IMPORTANT Brake fluid is hygroscopic
(i.e. it absorbs moisture). For this
reason, if the vehicle is mainly used in
areas with a high degree of
atmospheric humidity, the fluid should
be replaced at more frequent intervals
than specified in the "Scheduled
Servicing Plan".
