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.
For cars with 0.9 TwinAir engines
(where provided): every 3,000 km
check the engine oil level and top it up
to the maximum level if necessary.
