Correct servicing is essential in guaranteeing a long life for the car under the best conditions. For this reason, Fiat has planned a series of checks and services at fixed distance intervals and, forversions/markets, where provided, at fixed timeintervals, as described in the Scheduled ServicingPlan. Regardless of the above, it is always necessary to carefully follow the instructions in the ScheduledServicing Plan (e.g. periodically check level of liquids,tyre pressure, etc.). Scheduled Servicing is offered by all Fiat Dealerships at fixed time or kilometres/miles intervals. If, duringeach operation, in addition to the ones scheduled,the need arises for further replacements or repairs,these may be carried out only with your explicit
agreement. If your car is used frequently for towing, the interval between one service operation andthe next should be reduced. IMPORTANT INFORMATION The Scheduled Servicing services are set out by the Manufacturer. Failure to have them carried outmay invalidate the warranty. It is advisable to inform a Fiat Dealership of any small operating irregularities without waiting for thefollowing servicing. For versions equipped with specific supply (e.g. LPG) and/or trim level, in addition to what is describedin the following Scheduled Servicing Plan, refer to therelevant additional items in the dedicatedsupplements.
