SERVICING AND CARE -> SCHEDULED SERVICING for Your Fiat Punto SUV 2011-2018

IMPORTANT Scheduled Servicing  
interventions are set out by the  
Manufacturer. Failure to have them  
carried out may invalidate the warranty.  
It is advisable to inform a Fiat  
Dealership of any small operating  
irregularities without waiting for the next  
service.  
DEMANDING USE OF THE  
CAR  
SCHEDULED  
SERVICING  
If the vehicle is used under one of the  
following conditions: law enforcement  
(or security services), public service  
(taxi), towing a trailer or motorhome;  
dusty roads; short (less than 7-8 km)  
and repeated journeys with sub-zero  
outside temperatures; engine often  
idling or driving long distances at low  
speed or long periods of inactivity,  
the following checks must be carried  
out more often than indicated in the  
Scheduled Servicing Plan:  
Correct servicing is crucial for  
guaranteeing a long life for the vehicle  
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.  
PERIODIC CHECKS  
Every 1,000 km or before long  
Before each service, it is always  
necessary to carefully follow the  
instructions in the Scheduled Servicing  
Plan (e.g. periodically check level of  
fluids, tyre pressure, etc.).  
journeys, check and if necessary, top  
up: engine coolant level, brake fluid  
level, screen washer fluid level, tyre  
inflation pressure and condition, lighting  
system operation (headlights, direction  
indicators, hazard warning lights, etc.),  
screen washer/wiper system operation  
and positioning/wear of windscreen/  
rear window wiper blades.  
check front disc brake pad condition  
and wear;  
Scheduled Servicing is offered by all  
Fiat Dealerships according to a set time  
schedule. 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 vehicle is used frequently for  
towing, the interval between one  
service operation and the next should  
be reduced.  
check cleanliness of bonnet and  
luggage compartment locks,  
cleanliness and lubrication of linkage;  
Every 3,000 km, check and top up the  
engine oil level.  
visually inspect conditions of:  
engine, gearbox, transmission, pipes  
and hoses (exhaust/fuel system/brakes)  
and rubber elements (gaiters/sleeves/  
bushes, etc.);  
check battery charge and battery  
fluid level (electrolyte);  
visually inspect conditions of the  
accessory drive belts;  
check and, if necessary, change  
engine oil and replace oil filter / pollen  
filter / air cleaner.  
111  
SCHEDULED SERVICING PLAN (petrol versions)  
The checks listed in the Scheduled Servicing Plan, after reaching 120,000 km/8 years, must be cyclically repeated starting from  
the first interval, thus following the same intervals as before.
