WARNING
Do not tr y to recharge a frozen batter y;
defrost it first to prevent the risk of
explosion. If the battery was frozen, have it
inspected by specialised technicians before
recharging to check that the internal elements
are not damaged and that the casing is not
cracked, which could cause poisonous, corrosive
acid to leak.
RAISING THE CARIf the car needs to be lifted, go to a Fiat Dealership
which is equipped with arm hoists or workshop lifts.
WARNING
The vehicle must only be raised laterally
by placing the ends of the arms or
workshop lift in the shown areas fig. 206 and
fig. 207 (for lifting the rear side).Take special care when positioning the
arm lifts or the workshop lift in order not
to damage the aerodynamic spoilers
and the side skirts, if any.

WARNING
Before towing, turn the ignition key to
MAR and then to STOP without
removing it .The steering column will
automatically lock when the key is removed and
the wheels cannot be steered.
WARNING
Before tightening the hook clean the
threaded housing thoroughly. Make sure
that the hook is fully fastened in the housing
before towing the car.
WARNING
Whilst towing, remember that the
assistance of the brake servo and the
electric power steering is not available,
therefore greater force needs to be exerted on
the brake pedal and more effort is required
on the steering wheel. Do not use flexible cables
when towing and avoid jerky movements. Make
sure not to damage parts in contact with the
car while towing.When towing the vehicle, you
must comply with all specific traffic regulations
and adopt an appropriate driving behaviour.
Do not start the engine while towing the car.

WARNING
The front and rear tow hooks should be
used only for emergencies on the road.
The car may be towed for short distances when
a dedicated device is used in compliance with
the Highway Code (rigid bar), and in order
to move the vehicle on the road in preparation
for towing or transport via a tow truck (on
the Trekking versions do NOT use the rear tow
hook for transport on a tow truck: use the front
tow hook).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. In compliance
with the above conditions, towing must take
place with the two vehicles (one towing, the
other towed) aligned as much as possible along
the same centre line.

SERVICING AND MAINTENANCE
SCHEDULED SERVICINGCorrect servicing is essential in guaranteeing a long
life for the car under the best conditions.
Fiat has therefore arranged a series of checks and
maintenance operations to be carried out every
30,000 kilometres (for petrol versions) or every
35,000 kilometres (for diesel versions).
Check the items on the Scheduled Servicing Plan
(e.g. periodically check level of liquids, tyre pressure,
etc.) before 30,000/35,000 km and between these
services deadlines.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 only with the explicit
agreement of the Customer. If your car is
used frequently for towing, the interval between one
service operation and the next should be reduced.
WARNING
At 2000 km from the next service operation the
display will show a message.
The Scheduled Servicing intervals are set out by the
Manufacturer. Failure to comply with the schedule
may invalidate the warranty.
It is advisable to inform a Fiat Dealership of any small
operating irregularities without waiting for the next
service.
