GENUINE PARTS
To recognise a Genuine Part, check that the component bears our brands, always clearly visible on Genuine Parts,
from the braking system to windscreen wipers, from shock absorbers to air cleaner.
All Genuine Parts undergo strict controls, both during design and manufacturing stages,
by specialists using vanguard materials, to test the component reliability.
This to guarantee performance and safety for you and your passengers on board, for a long time.
Always ask for and make sure a Genuine Part has been used.

For diesel engines, in the event of an emergency in which the original products are not available, lubricants with at EMERGENCY
least ACEA C2 performance are acceptable; however, in this case optimum engine performance is not guaranteed
and the lubricants should be replaced with recommended products as soon as possible at a Fiat Dealership.
The use of products with characteristics that are not up to ACEA C3 (for petrol engines) and ACEA C2 (for Diesel SERVICING
engines) standard could cause engine damage not covered by the warranty. AND CARE
For petrol versions with Multi Air system, the use of lubricants with features below ACEA C3 and SAE grade other
than 5W-40 could cause damage to the engine, not covered by the warranty. TECHNICAL
