IN AN EMERGENCY

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.
