(*) For 0.9 TwinAir Turbo 105 HP versions, in order to guarantee correct operation and prevent serious damage to the engine, it is
essential to observe the following:
(*) - 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 plug replacement intervals detailed in the Scheduled Servicing Plan;
(*) - it is advisable to contact a Fiat Dealership for plug replacement.
(**) Regardless of the distance covered, the timing belt must be changed every four years for particularly demanding use (cold
climates, city driving, long periods of idling) or at least every five years in all other cases.
