“Scheduled Maintenance’’, which you will find in the “Owner’s Manual’’
supplied with your vehicle.
These involve a series of service operations as scheduled above. These
services will be recorded by your servicing dealer in the “Scheduled
Maintenance” section of this handbook.
The distance intervals and times quoted are maximum and vehicles
must not exceed these recommendations. Services should occur on
or before these recommended intervals or times. If the service period
is exceeded, discuss your required maintenance with your Authorised
FIAT/Abarth Dealer.
Please note that the vehicle’s service maintenance during the FCAA
Manufacturer’s Warranty period and beyond, is at the owner’s cost.
The cost for the scheduled maintenance service includes the price
of a standard service operation, lubricants and necessary materials.
Any additional or extraordinary operations will be at additional cost
(calculated in accordance with the labour rates and spare parts price
list in force at the time). However they will not be performed without first
being authorised by you.
IMPORTANT
As technologies develop, changes to the scheduled servicing intervals
may be necessary. Always consult your Authorised FIAT Dealer for the
latest servicing schedule.
These servicing operations are of a general nature and do not cover all
the services your vehicle may need. Nothing in the foregoing replaces
the need to routinely check and carry out the necessary topping up and/
or replacement operations as described in the Owner’s Manual of the
fluids and components subject to wear such as: brake discs and pads,
clutch plate, spark plugs, bulbs, windscreen wiper blades and tyres.
You should always adhere to the instructions set out in the ‘’Owner’s
Manual’’ of your vehicle.
If the checks and controls included in the servicing schedule reveal that
repairs are necessary, they will be carried out only upon your approval.
The kilometre intervals provided in the Scheduled Maintenance section
(page 17 onwards) refer to those on the vehicle’s odometer. If this has
been reset due to instrument panel replacement or any other reason,
the future programmed maintenance records will refer to the number of
kilometres the vehicle has actually travelled.
Maintaining the vehicle in accordance with the servicing schedule will
help to ensure that the vehicle remains at optimum condition. This will
also assist in maintaining the vehicle’s value, as evidenced by records
featuring the genuine FIAT/Abarth Workshop stamps.
Besides maintenance, optimum operating performance of your vehicle
also depends on other factors, such as fuel quality, correct use and
storage of the vehicle.
