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 previous 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 a set time
schedule. 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 have them
carried out may invalidate the warranty.
It is advisable to inform a Fiat
Dealership of any small operating
irregularities without waiting for the next
service.
PERIODIC CHECKS
Every1,000km or before long
journeys, check and if necessary, top
up: engine coolant level; brake fluid
level; screen washer fluid level; tyre
inflation pressure and condition; lighting
system operation (headlights, direction
indicators, hazard warning lights, etc.);
screen washer/wiper system operation
and positioning/wear of windscreen/
rear window wiper blades.
Every3,000km, check and top up if
required: engine oil level.
For cars with 0.9 TwinAir engines:
every3,000km check the engine oil
level and top it up to the maximum level
if necessary.DEMANDING USE OF THE
CAR
If the car is used under one of the
following conditions: towing a trailer or
motorhome; dusty roads; short (less
than 7-8 km) and repeated journeys
with sub-zero outside temperatures;
engine often idling or driving long
distances at low speed 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 the cleanliness of the side,
bonnet and luggage compartment
locks, and the cleanliness and
lubrication of the linkages;
visually inspect conditions of:
engine, gearbox, transmission, pipes
and hoses (exhaust/fuel system/brakes)
and rubber elements (gaiters/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 / pollen
filter / air cleaner.

WARNING
INTERIOR FITTINGS
Never travel with the glove compartment open: it could injure the passenger in the event of a crash.
The cigar lighter gets very hot. Handle it carefully and make sure that children do not touch it: risk of fire and/or burns. Always check that
the cigar lighter plug has been released.
ROOF RACK/SKI RACK
After travelling for a short distance, check that the fixing screws for the attachments are correctly tightened.
Never exceed the maximum permitted loads (see chapter "Technical specifications").
Evenly distribute the load and take into account, when driving, the increased responsiveness of the vehicle to side wind.
WIRING FOR RADIO SYSTEM
If you wish to have a sound system installed after purchasing the vehicle, first contact a Fiat Dealership whose qualified personnel will give
you advise about a sound system that does not damage the battery charge. Excessive nonrunning consumption damages the battery and
may cause your battery warranty to be terminated.
PROTECTING THE ENVIRONMENT
During normal service, the catalytic converter and the diesel particulate filter (DPF) reach high temperatures. Do not therefore park the
vehicle over inflammable materials (grass, dry leaves, pine needles, etc.): fire hazard.
INTERIORS
Never use flammable products, such as petrol ether or rectified petrol to clean the inside of the vehicle. The electrostatic charges which
are generated by rubbing during the cleaning operation may cause a fire.
Do not keep aerosol cans in the vehicle: they might explode. Aerosol cans must not be exposed to a temperature exceeding 50°C. When
the vehicle is exposed to sunlight, the internal temperature can greatly exceed this value.
POWER SUPPLY
Modifications or repairs to the supply system that are not carried out correctly or do not take the system technical specifications into
account can cause malfunctions leading to the risk of fire.
LOADING ADVICE(Panda VAN versions)
Abrupt braking or occasional impacts may cause sudden movements of the load with consequent situations of hazard for the driver and
passengers: before setting off, secure the load tightly using the partition and, where provided, the appropriate hooks. For securing use
cables, ropes or belts strong enough to hold the items to be secured.
