If in doubt as to how often the engine oil and air cleaner should be changed according to how you use the car, contact a Fiat Dealership.
IMPORTANT - Pollen filter
If the vehicle is used frequently in dusty or heavily polluted environments it is advisable to replace the filtering element more frequently; in particular it should be replaced if a reduction of the amount of air admitted to the passenger compartment is noted.
IMPORTANT - Diesel filter
The possibility of topping up with diesel fuel not complying with EN590 European Norm might make it necessary to replace the filter more frequently than indicated in the “Service schedule”.
IMPORTANT - Battery
The charge in the battery should be checked at the start of winter to limit the risk of electrolyte freezing.
This check should be carried out more frequently if the car is used mainly for short trips, or if it is fitted with accessories that permanently absorb electricity even with the ignition key removed, especially in the case of after market accessories. If the car is used in hot climates or particularly harsh conditions it is wise to check the level of the battery fluid (electrolyte) more frequently than specified in the “Service schedule” in this section.
