Before towing, turn the ignition key to
MAR and then to STOP without extract-
ing it. The steering column will automatically lock
when the key is removed, making it impossible to
turn the wheels.
WARNING
Before tightening the ring, clean the
threaded housing thoroughly. Before tow-
ing the vehicle, make sure that the tow ring is ful-
ly tightened in its appropriate housing.
Never start the engine when the vehicle is being
towed.
WARNING
Remember that, while being towed, you
will need to brake harder because there
will be no assistance from the brake booster. Do
not use bendy cables for towing and avoid jerk-
ing. During towing operations, make sure that the
fastened joint does not damage adjoining com-
ponents. When towing the vehicle, comply with
the specific rules of the highway code regarding
the towing device and road conduct. Do not start
the engine while being towed.
WARNING
The front and rear tow hooks should be
used only for emergencies on the road. You
are allowed to tow the car for short dis-
tances using an appropriate device in accordance
with the highway code (a rigid bar), to move the
vehicle on the road in readiness for towing or trans-
porting via a breakdown vehicle. Tow hooks MUST
NOT be used to tow vehicles off the road or where
there are obstacles and/or for towing operations
using cables or other non-rigid devices. Respecting
the above conditions, towing must take place with
two vehicles (one towing, the other towed) aligned
as much as possible along the same centre line.

SCHEDULED SERVICING
Correct servicing is essential for ensuring long vehicle life
under the best conditions.
This is why Fiat has planned a series of checks and ser-
vice operations every 30,000/35,000 km (according to ver-
sions).
It is, however, important to remember that scheduled
servicing does not completely cover all the vehicle’s re-
quirements: even in the initial period before 30,000/35,000
km, and then subsequently between one service and an-
other, ordinary care is always required such as routine
checks involving topping up fluid levels, checking tyre pres-
sures etc...IMPORTANT Scheduled Services are prescribed by the
manufacturer. Failure to stick to the schedule may invali-
date the warranty.
Scheduled Servicing is performed by all Fiat Dealerships
at pre-arranged times.
If, during each part of the service, the need arises for ad-
ditional replacements or repairs, these may be carried
out only with the explicit agreement of the Customer.
IMPORTANT You are advised to contact a Fiat Dealer-
ship immediately in the event of any minor operating faults,
without waiting for the next service.
If your vehicle is used frequently for towing trailers, the
interval between scheduled services must be reduced.

INDEXHEAVY USAGE OF THE VEHICLE
If the vehicle is primarily used in one of the following
particularly onerous conditions:
❒ towing trailers;
❒ dusty roads;
❒ short, repeated journeys (less than 7-8 km) at sub-ze-
ro temperatures;
❒ frequently idling engine or long-distance, low-speed
driving (e.g. door-to-door deliveries) or lengthy inac-
tivity;
❒ driving in towns and cities;
you should perform the following inspections more fre-
quently than shown on the Scheduled Servicing Plan:
❒ check front disc brake pad conditions and wear;
❒ check cleanliness of bonnet and boot locks, and clean-
liness and lubrication of linkages;
❒ visually inspect the conditions of: engine, gearbox,
transmission, pipes and tubes (exhaust – fuel – brakes),
rubber parts (boots, sleeves, bushes, etc.);
❒ check battery charge and fluid level (electrolite) (check
to be carried out only by specialists or at a Fiat Deal-
ership – see the “Battery” paragraph in this section);
❒ visually inspect the condition of the accessory drive
belts;
❒ check pollen filter and replace, if required;
❒ check and, if necessary, replace air filter.
REGULAR CHECKS
Every 1,000 km or before long journeys, check and, if nec-
essary, top up:
❒ engine coolant fluid level;
❒ brake fluid level;
❒ windscreen washer level;
❒ tyre pressure and conditions.
❒ operation of lighting system (headlights, direction in-
dicators, hazard lights, etc.);
❒ operation of windscreen washer/wipers system and
positioning/wear of windscreen/rear window wiper
blades (for versions/markets where provided);
Check and top up, if required, the engine oil level every
3,000 km.
You are recommended to use
PETRONAS LUBRI-
CANTS
products, which have been designed and pro-
duced specifically for Fiat vehicles (see “Capacities” table
in the “Technical specifications” section).
