SCHEDULED MAINTENANCE
Correct maintenance is a decisive factor in guaranteeing
a long life for the vehicle in optimum conditions.
This is why Fiat has planned a series of checks and main-
tenance operations every 40,000/45,000 km.
The scheduled maintenance programme does not, how-
ever, cover all the vehicle requirements; during the initial
period, before the 40,000/45,000 kilometre service and
later on, between services, routine operations must be
carried out like systematically checking and topping up
fluid levels, checking the tyre inflation pressure, etc.
IMPORTANT Scheduled Maintenance services are re-
quired by the manufacturer. Failure to carry out these
services may invalidate the warranty.
The services can be carried out by any Fiat Dealer at the
appointed times.
If there is the need for further replacements or repairs
during any operation in addition to those planned, prior
consent of the Customer must be obtained first.
IMPORTANT It is advisable to inform a Fiat Dealership of
any small operating irregularities without waiting for the
next service.
If your vehicle is used frequently for trailer towing, the
interval between scheduled maintenance services must be
reduced.
