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 in tip-top conditions, a
few additional checks which should
be carried out more frequently with
respect to the normal service deadlines
are listed in the Scheduled Service
plan on the previous pages.
IMPORTANT Scheduled Servicing

Manufacturer. Failure to have them
carried out may invalidate the warranty.

regarding the proper operation of the
car to your Fiat Dealership, before
waiting for the next service deadline.
