Scheduled Servicing - Fiat PANDA Owner's Handbook Manual

SCHEDULED
SERVICING
Correct servicing is crucial for
guaranteeing a long life for the car
under the best conditions.
For this reason, Fiat has planned a
series of checks and services at fixed
distance and/or time intervals, as
described in the Service Schedule.
To keep the car in tip-top conditions, a
few additional checks which should
be carried out more frequently with
respect to the normal service deadlines
are listed in the Scheduled Service
plan on the previous pages.
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 car is used frequently for towing,
the interval between one scheduled
servicing operation and the next should
be reduced.
IMPORTANT Scheduled Servicing
interventions are set out by the
Manufacturer. Failure to have them
carried out may invalidate the warranty.
We advise sharing any doubts
regarding the car's proper operation
with your Fiat Dealership, before waiting
for the next coupon redemption.
REGULAR CHECKS
Every 1,000 km or before long
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.
Every 3,000 km, check and top up if
required: engine oil level.
For cars with 0.9 TwinAir engines:
every 3,000 km check the engine oil
level and top it up to the maximum level
if necessary.
DEMANDING USE OF THE
CAR
If the car is used under one of the
following conditions: 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

and wear;

bonnet and luggage compartment
locks, and the cleanliness and
lubrication of the linkages;
