Maintenance Schedule - Fiat 500 2013 User Manual

MAINTAINING YOUR VEHICLE

MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE

Your vehicle is equipped with an automatic oil change indicator system. The oil change
indicator system will remind you that it is time to take your vehicle in for scheduled
maintenance.
Based on engine operation conditions, the oil change indicator message will illuminate.
This means that service is required for your vehicle. Operating conditions such as
frequent short-trips, trailer tow, extremely hot or cold ambient temperatures, and E85
fuel usage will influence when the "Change Oil" or "Oil Change Required" message is
displayed. Severe Operating Conditions can cause the change oil message to illuminate as
early as 3,500 miles (5,600 km) since last reset. Have your vehicle serviced as soon as
possible, within the next 500 miles (805 km).
NOTE:
Under no circumstances should oil change intervals exceed 10,000 miles (16,000 km) or
twelve months, whichever comes first.
Once A Month Or Before A Long Trip:
• Check engine oil level
• Check windshield washer fluid level
• Check the tire inflation pressures and look for unusual wear or damage
• Check the fluid levels of the coolant reservoir, brake master cylinder, and transmission
as needed
• Check function of all interior and exterior lights
