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.

(5) Check to be carried out every year for cars on the road in countries with particularly severe climates (cold countries).
(6) The actual interval for changing engine oil and replacing the engine oil filter depends on the vehicle usage conditions and is signalled by the warning light or
message in the instrument panel. In any case, it must never exceed 2 years. Where the car is used mostly in urban settings you need to replace the engine oil
filter every year. (4) The maximum mileage is 120,000 km. The belt must be replaced every 6 years, regardless of distance travelled. If the vehicle is used in heavy conditions (dusty
areas, cold climates, urban driving, long periods of idling), the maximum mileage is 60,000 km. The belt must be replaced every 4 years regardless of the
mileage.
(7) If the vehicle runs on fuel with quality below the relevant European specification, this filter must be replaced every 20,000 km
(8) If the vehicle is used in dusty areas, this cleaner must be replaced every 20,000 km.
(9) The brake fluid replacement has to be done every two years, irrespective of the mileage.

PROCEDURES
87) 88) 89)
The following pages contain the rules
on therequiredmaintenance
envisaged by the technical personnel
who designed the vehicle.
In addition to these specific
maintenance instructions specified for
routine scheduled servicing, there are
other components which may require
intervention or replacements over the
vehicle’s life cycle.
ENGINE OIL
90)
Engine oil level check
To ensure correct engine lubrication, the
oil must always be kept at the
prescribed level (see "Engine
compartment" in this chapter).
AIR CLEANER
177)
Replacing the air cleaner
See the "Scheduled servicing plan" for
the correct servicing intervals.It is advisable to replace it with a
genuine spare part, designed especially
for this vehicle.
AIR CONDITIONING
SYSTEM MAINTENANCE
91) 92)
To ensure the best possible
performance, the air conditioning
system must be checked and undergo
maintenance at a Fiat Dealership at the
beginning of the summer.
WINDOWS
When cleaning the heated windscreen
and rear window be careful, if the
defrosting function is active, regarding
the temperature of the glass; also make
sure that children do not come into
contact with the heated surface. The
glass may be hot.
Never use an abrasive detergent to
clean the surface of the windows.
Do not use scrapers or sharp items that
might scratch the windows.
Spray the detergent on the cloth to be
used for cleaning the rear view mirror.
Do not spray the detergent directly on
the glass.
Cleaning the window with hot water
could cause the removal of any labels.

93)Vehicles equipped with catalytic
converter must be fuelled only with
unleaded petrol. Leaded petrol would
permanently damage the catalytic
converter and eliminate its ability to reduce
polluting emissions, seriously
compromising the engine performance,
which would be irreparably damaged. If the
engine does not work correctly, especially if
it starts irregularly or if there is a reduction
of its performance, immediately go to a Fiat
Dealership. Prolonged and faulty operation
of the engine may cause overheating of the
converter and, as a consequence, possible
damage to the converter and the car.
94)Using a gearbox fluid different from that
approved may compromise gearshifting
quality and/or cause vibration of the
gearbox itself.LIFTING THE
VEHICLE
If the vehicle needs to be jacked up, go
to a Fiat Dealership, which is equipped
with shop jacks and jack arms.
The vehicle lifting points are marked on
the side skirts with the
symbols (see
illustration in fig. 179 ).
WHEELS AND TYRES
180) 181) 182) 183) 184) 185)
RIMS AND TYRES
For the type of wheel rims and tyres
fitted on the vehicle see the "Wheels"
paragraph in the "Technical data"
chapter.
SNOW CHAINS
95)
Front Wheel Drive and All Wheel
Drive versions
7-mm snow chains can be used on
215/60 R16 95H and 215/55 R17 94V
tyres.
225/45 R18 91V and 225/45 R18 91Y
tyres cannot be fitted with snow chains.
Important
The use of snow chains should be in
compliance with local regulations of
each country. In certain countries, tyres
marked with code M+S (Mud and
Snow) are considered as winter
equipment; therefore their use is
equivalent to that of the snow chains.
The snow chains may be applied only
to the front wheel tyres.

207

Check the tension of the snow chains
after the first few metres have been
driven.
IMPORTANT Using snow chains with
tyres with non-original dimensions may
damage the vehicle.
IMPORTANT Using different size or type
(M+S, snow, etc.) tyres between front
and rear axle may adversely affect
vehicle driveability, with the risk of losing
control of the vehicle and resulting
accidents.
SUGGESTIONS ABOUT
THE ROTATION OF THE
TYRES
The front and rear tyres are subject to
different loads and stress due to
steering, manoeuvres and braking. For
this reason they are subject to uneven
wear.
To resolve this problem, tyres should be
rotated at the appropriate time. Tyre
rotation means moving the wheels to a
different position, with respect to the
vehicle. The single wheel will therefore
operate on a different axle and, where
possible, on the opposite side of the
vehicle.Tyre rotation contributes to the
preservation of the grip and traction
performance on wet, muddy or snowy
roads, guaranteeing optimal driveability
of the vehicle.
In the case of irregular wear of the tyres
identify the cause and correct it as soon
as possible, by contacting a Fiat
Dealership.
WARNING
180)The road holding qualities of the car
also depend on the correct inflation
pressure of the tyres.
181)If tyre pressure is too low, it may
overheat and be severely damaged as a
result.
182)If the tyres are "unidirectional", do not
switch tyres from the right-hand side of the
vehicle to the left-hand side, and vice
versa. This type of tyres can only be
switched from the front axle to the rear axle
and vice versa, keeping them on the same
side of the vehicle.
183)Never submit alloy rims to repainting
treatments requiring the use of
temperatures exceeding 150°C. The
mechanical properties of the wheels could
be impaired.
184)The wheel rotation methods shown in
the text must NOT be used with one-way
tyres! This type of tyres can only be
switched from the front axle to the rear axle
and vice versa, keeping them on the same
side of the vehicle.185)Travelling with partially or completely
deflated tyres can cause safety problems
and damage the concerned tyre beyond
repair.
IMPORTANT
95)Keep your speed down when snow
chains are fitted; do not exceed 50 km/h.
Avoid potholes, do not drive over steps or
pavements and do not drive long distances
over roads without snow, to avoid
damaging both your vehicle and the road
surface.
