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 Scheduled Servicing

Plan

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 NOTES

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 proper operation of

the car with your Fiat Dealership,

before waiting for the next coupon

redemption.

WARNING

166)

Never smoke while working in the engine compartment: gas and inflammable vapours may be present, with the risk of fire.

167)

Be very careful when working in the engine compartment when the engine is hot: you may get burned. Do not get too close to the

radiator cooling fan: the electric fan may start; danger of injury. Scarves, ties and other loose clothing might be pulled by moving parts.

183

67)

Be careful not to confuse the various types of fluids while topping up: they are not compatible with one another! Topping up with an

unsuitable fluid could severely damage your vehicle.

MAINTENANCE AND CARE

184

ENGINE OIL

168)

68)

Check the oil level a few minutes (about

5) after the engine has stopped, with

the vehicle parked on level ground.

Check that the oil level is between

the MIN and MAX references on the

dipstick.

If the level of the oil is close to or below

the MIN mark, add oil via the filler fitting

until the MAX mark is reached.

Take out the engine oil dipstick, clean it

with a lint-free cloth and reinsert it.

Extract it again and check that the

engine oil level is between the MIN and

MAX marks on the dipstick.

Insertion of engine oil cap/dipstick

(1.0 versions)

(for versions/markets where provided)

The engine oil dipstick is incorporated

into the engine oil filler cap (1)fig. 185.

185

P2000259

Engine oil consumption

69)

The maximum engine oil consumption

is usually 400 grams every 1000 km.

When the car is new, the engine needs

to be run in; therefore the engine oil

consumption can only be considered

stabilised after the first 5000 -

6000 km.

WARNING After adding or changing

the oil, let the engine turn over for a few

seconds and wait a few minutes after

stopping the engine before you check

the level.

If the level is too low, unscrew the

cap of the reservoir 4 and add the

fluid described in the "Technical

Specifications" chapter.

WINDSCREEN/REAR

WINDOW WASHER FLUID

170) 171)

If the level is too low, raise the reservoir

cap 3 and add the fluid described in

the "Technical Specifications" chapter.

BRAKE FLUID

172) 173)

71)

Check that the fluid is at the max. level.
If the fluid level in the reservoir is too

low, undo the reservoir cap 1 and add

the fluid described in the "Technical

Specifications" chapter.

WARNING Carefully clean the cap

of the reservoir and the surrounding

surface. Take great care to ensure that

impurities do not enter the reservoir

when the cap is opened.

Always use a funnel with a built-in filter

with a mesh of 0.12 mm or less.

WARNING Brake fluid is hygroscopic

(i.e. it absorbs moisture). For this

reason, if the car is mainly used

in areas with a high degree of

atmospheric humidity, the fluid

should be replaced at more frequent

intervals than specified in the "Service

Schedule".

185

The battery does not require the

electrolyte to be topped up with

distilled water.
A periodic check carried out at a Fiat

Dealership is, however, necessary to

check efficiency.

Replacing the battery

If necessary, replace the battery

with another original battery with

the same specifications. Follow the

battery Manufacturer’s instructions for

maintenance.

USEFUL ADVICE FOR

EXTENDING THE LIFE OF

YOUR BATTERY

To avoid draining your battery and

make it last longer, observe the

following instructions:

when you park the car, ensure

that the doors, tailgate and bonnet

are closed properly, to prevent any

lights from remaining on inside the

passenger's compartment;

switch off all courtesy lights inside

the car: the car is however equipped

with a system which switches all

internal lights off automatically;

do not keep accessories (e.g. radio,

hazard warning lights, etc.) switched on

for a long time when the engine is not

running;

before performing any operation on

the electrical system, disconnect the

negative battery cable.
If, after purchasing the vehicle, you

wish to install electrical accessories

which require permanent electrical

supply (e.g. alarm, etc.) or accessories

which influence the electrical

supply requirements, contact a Fiat

Dealership, whose qualified staff

will evaluate the overall electrical

consumption.

73)

WARNING After the battery is

disconnected, the steering must be

initialised. The

warning light on the

instrument panel (or symbol on the

display) switches on to indicate this. To

carry out this procedure, simply turn

the steering wheel all the way from one

end to the other or drive in a straight

line for about a hundred metres.

WARNING If the charge level remains

under 50% for a long time, the battery

is damaged by sulphation, reducing

its capacity and efficiency at start-up.

The battery is also more prone to the

risk of freezing (at temperatures as high

as -10

C). Refer to the "Car inactivity"

paragraph in "Starting and driving"

chapter if the car is left parked for a

long time.

WARNING

168)

If the engine oil is being topped up,

wait for the engine to cool down before

loosening the filler cap, particularly for

vehicles with aluminium cap (where

provided). WARNING: risk of burns!

169)

The cooling system is pressurised.

If necessary, only replace the cap with

another original or the operation of the

system may be adversely affected. Do not

remove the reservoir plug when the engine

is hot: you risk scalding yourself.

170)

Do not travel with the windscreen

washer fluid reservoir empty: the

windscreen washer is essential for

improving visibility. Repeated operation of

the system without fluid could damage or

cause rapid deterioration of some system

components.

171)

Some commercial additives for

windscreen washer fluid are flammable.

The engine compartment contains hot

components which may start a fire.

172)

Brake fluid is poisonous and highly

corrosive. In the event of accidental

contact, immediately wash the affected

parts with water and mild soap. Then rinse

thoroughly. Call a doctor immediately if

swallowed.

173)

The symbol

, on the brake fluid

container indicates if a brake fluid is

synthetic or mineralbased. Use of mineral

type fluids will damage the special rubber

seals of the braking system beyond repair.
