MAINTENANCE AND CARE -> SCHEDULED SERVICING for Your Fiat Tipo 4 Door Second Generation (2015-2026)

We advise sharing any doubts  
regarding the car’s proper operation  
with your Fiat Dealership, before  
waiting for the next scheduled service  
deadline.  
Every 3,000 km, check and top up if  
required: engine oil level.  
SCHEDULED  
SERVICING  
DEMANDING USE OF THE  
CAR  
Correct servicing is crucial for  
guaranteeing a long life for the car  
under the best conditions.  
If the car is used mainly under one of  
the following conditions:  
PERIODIC CHECKS  
Every 1,000 km or before long trips  
check and, if necessary, top up:  
engine coolant level;  
For this reason, the Manufacturer  
has planned a series of checks and  
maintenance operations at fixed  
distance intervals or fixed time intervals,  
as described in the Service Schedule.  
To keep the efficiency of the car in tip-  
top condition, in the following Service  
Schedule pages a few additional  
checks are listed that should be carried  
out more frequently with respect to the  
normal scheduled servicing deadline.  
Scheduled servicing is offered by  
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.  
dusty roads;  
short, repeated journeys (less  
than 7-8 km) at sub-zero external  
temperatures;  
engine often idling or driving long  
distances at low speeds or long  
periods of inactivity;  
NOTE The level must be checked when  
the engine is cold and must range  
between the MIN and MAX marks on  
the reservoir. If the level is under the  
MIN level, go to a Fiat Dealership. Do  
not attempt to open the cap yourself  
to avoid burns and/or damage to  
the cooling system and electronic  
components. Topping up and filling  
operations must be carried out by  
qualified personnel at Fiat Dealership  
using the appropriate equipment for  
vacuum filling.  
the following checks must be carried  
out more often than indicated in the  
Service Schedule:  
check front disc brake pad condition  
and wear;  
check cleanliness of bonnet and boot  
locks, cleanliness and lubrication of  
linkage;  
visually inspect conditions of:  
engine, gearbox, transmission,  
pipes and hoses (exhaust/ fuel  
system/brakes) and rubber elements  
(gaiters/sleeves/bushes, etc.);  
check the charge status and fluid  
level (electrolyte) of the conventional  
battery;  
brake fluid level;  
windscreen washer fluid level;  
tyre inflation pressure and condition;  
operation of lighting system  
(headlights, direction indicators, hazard  
warning lights, etc.);  
operation of windscreen wash/wipe  
system and positioning/wear of wiper  
blades;  
control and top up additive level for  
AdBlue® Diesel emissions (UREA) (for  
versions/markets, where provided);  
WARNINGS  
visually inspect conditions of the  
accessory drive belts;  
check and, if necessary, change  
engine oil and replace oil filter;  
The scheduled service deadlines are  
set out by the Manufacturer. Failure  
to comply with the schedule may  
invalidate the warranty.

(1) Only ever use the fluids shown in the handbook for topping up, and only after checking that the system is intact.  
(2) If the engine oil quality detected by the vehicle diagnostics is lower than 20%, it is advisable to replace the engine oil and engine filter in  
order to avoid another service operation after a short time.  
(3) The maximum mileage is 120,000 km. The belt must be replaced every 6 years, regardless of distance travelled. If the car is used in heavy  
conditions (dusty areas, particularly harsh weather conditions, very low or very high temperatures for extended periods, urban driving, long  
periods of idling), the maximum mileage is 60,000 km. The belt must be replaced every 4 years regardless of the mileage.  
(4) Engine oil change and filter replacement depends on driving conditions and the warning light/symbol on the instrument panel (where  
provided) turns on to indicate when it is time to do so. In any case, change the engine oil and replace the filter within one year from the last  
service.  
(5) To guarantee correct operation and prevent serious damage to the engine, it is essential to proceed as follows: only use spark plugs  
specifically certified for these engines; all spark plugs should be of the same type and brand (see the "Engine" paragraph in the "Technical  
Specifications" chapter); strictly comply with the spark plugs replacement frequency in the Service Schedule. It is advisable to contact a Fiat  
Dealership for plug replacement  
(6) If the vehicle is used in dusty areas, this filter should be replaced every 15,000 km.  
(7) The brake fluid must be changed every 2 years, regardless of the mileage.
