REGULAR CHECKS
Every 1,000 km or before long journeys, check and, if
necessary, top up the following:
engine coolant level;
brake fluid level;
windscreen washer fluid level;
tyre inflation pressure and condition;
operation of lighting system (headlamps, direction
indicators, hazard warning lights, etc.);
operation of screen wash/wipe system and
positioning/wear of windscreen/rear window
wiper blades.
Check and top up, if required, the engine oil level
every 3,000 km.
HEAVY USAGE OF THE VEHICLE
If the vehicle is used mainly under one of the
following conditions:
towing a trailer or caravan;
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 the conditions of: engine, gearbox,
transmission, pipes and hoses (exhaust/fuel
supply/brakes), rubber parts (boots/sleeves/
bushes, etc.);
check battery charge and battery fluid level
(electrolyte);
visually inspect condition of the auxiliary 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 filter.

WHEELS AND TYRES
Check the pressure of each tyre, including the spare,
every two weeks and before long journeys. The
pressure should be checked with the tyre rested and
cold.
It is normal for the pressure to increase when the
vehicle is used; for the correct tyre inflation
pressure, see the "Wheels" paragraph in the
"Technical specifications" chapter.
Incorrect pressure causes abnormal tyre wear
fig. 195:
Anormal pressure: tread evenly worn.
Blow pressure: tread particularly worn at the edges.
Chigh pressure: tread particularly worn in the
centre.
The tyres must be replaced when the tread is less
than 1.6 mm thick. In any case, follow the laws
in force in the country you are in.IMPORTANT
As far as possible, avoid sharp braking, screech
starts and violent shocks against pavements,
potholes or other hard obstacles. Driving for long
stretches over uneven roads can damage the
tyres;
periodically check that the tyres have no cuts in
the side wall, abnormal swelling or irregular tread
wear. Contact a Fiat Dealership if required;
avoid overloading the car when travelling: this may
cause serious damage to the wheels and tyres;
if a tyre is punctured, stop immediately and
replace it to avoid damage to the tyre, the rim,
suspension and steering system;
tyres age even if they are not used much. Cracks
in the tread and on the side walls are a sign of
ageing. In any event, have the tyres checked by
specialised personnel if they have been fitted for
longer than 6 years. Remember to check the spare
wheel very carefully;
in the case of replacement, always fit new tyres,
avoiding those of dubious origin;
if a tyre is replaced, also replace the inflation valve;
to allow even wear between the front and rear
tyres, it is advisable to change them over every
10–15 thousand kilometres, keeping them on the
same side of the vehicle so as not to reverse
the direction of rotation.

WARNING
Remember that the road holding
qualities of your vehicle also depend on
the correct inflation pressure of the tyres.
WARNING
If tyre pressure is too low, the tyre may
overheat and be severely damaged as
a result .
WARNING
Do not switch tyres from the righthand
side of the vehicle to the lefthand
side, and vice versa.
WARNING
Do not repaint alloy wheel rims at
temperatures higher than 150°C.The
mechanical characteristics of the wheels might
be compromised.
RUBBER LINES
Follow the requirements in “Scheduled Servicing
Plan” in this section carefully for brake and fuel
rubber lines.
Ozone, high temperatures and a prolonged lack of
fluid in the system may cause hardening and cracking
of the tubes, which could result in leaks. Careful
inspections are therefore necessary.

RIM PROTECTOR TYRES
WARNING
DO NOT fit wheel hub caps when using
integral hub caps fixed (with springs)
to the steel rim and after sale tyres provided
with Rim Protector fig. 205. Use of unsuitable
tyres and wheel caps may cause sudden
decrease of tyre pressure.

(*) (for versions/markets, where provided)
When the tires are warm, the inflation pressure should be + 0.3 bar in relation to the recommended figure.
However, recheck that the value is correct with the tyre cold.
With snow tyres, add +0.2 bar to the pressure value prescribed for standard tyres.
When running at speeds over 160 km/h, inflate tyres at full-load pressures.
