KNOWING THE INSTRUMENT PANEL

SCHEDULED
SERVICING
Correct servicing is crucial for
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 and/or time intervals, as
described in the Service Schedule.
To keep the car’s efficiency in tip-top
condition, in the following Scheduled
Service plan pages a few additional
checks are listed that should be carried
out more frequently with respect to the
normal coupon redemption schedule.
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 with the owner's explicit
agreement only. If your car is used
frequently for towing, the interval
between one scheduled servicing
operation and the next should be
reduced.
IMPORTANT Scheduled Servicing
interventions are set out by the
Manufacturer. Failure to comply with the
schedule may invalidate the warranty.
We advise sharing any doubts
regarding the car’s proper operation
with your Fiat Dealership, before waiting
for the next coupon redemption.
