IMPORTANT Scheduled Servicing
interventions are set out by the
Manufacturer. Failure to carry them out
can cause the guarantee to decline. It is
advisable to inform a Fiat Dealership of
any small operating irregularities without
waiting for the next scheduled service
deadline.

SCHEDULED
SERVICING
If the car is used under one of the
following conditions: towing a trailer or
motorhome; dusty roads; short (less

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
intervals and, where provided, at fixed
time intervals, as described in the
Scheduled Servicing Plan.

the interval between one scheduled
