Scheduled Servicing is offered by all Fiat
Dealerships according to fixed time or
kilometres/miles intervals.
If, during each 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 frequent-
ly for towing, the interval between one
service operation and the next should be
reduced. IMPORTANT INFORMATION
The Scheduled Servicing services are set
out by the Manufacturer. Failure to have
them carried out may invalidate the war-
ranty.
It is advisable to inform a Fiat Dealership
of any small operating irregularities with-
out waiting for the following servicing.
For versions equipped with specific fuel
supply and/or trim level (e.g. LPG, Dua-
logic), in addition to what is described in
the following Scheduled Servicing Plan,
refer to the relevant additional items in
the dedicated supplements. SCHEDULED SERVICING
Correct servicing is crucial for guaran-
teeing 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, for versions/markets,
where provided, at fixed time intervals,
as described in the Scheduled Servicing
Plan.
Regardless of the above, it is always nec-
essary to carefully follow the instructions
in the Scheduled Servicing Plan (e.g. pe-
riodically check level of liquids, tyre pres-
sure, etc.).
