(1) For 1.4 Turbo Multi Air 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 1.4 Turbo Multi Air engines; all spark plugs should be of the
same type and brand (see the “Engine” paragraph);
– adhere strictly to the spark plug replacement intervals detailed in the Scheduled Servicing Plan;
– it is advisable to have this performed at a Fiat Dealership.

(3) If the vehicle is used mainly around town or the annual distance travelled is less than 10,000 km, the engine oil and oil fil-
ter must be changed every 12 months.
