SERVICE AND EMERGENCY
BRAKES
Front:
– disc, floating caliper type with op-
erating cylinder for each wheel.
Rear:
– drum type with self-centring shoes
and operating cylinder for each wheel.
Crossed hydraulic circuit control.
7” vacuum brake booster.
ABS system with four sensors
(where fitted).
Automatic take-up of friction liner
wear.
Brake effort proportioning valves (2)
intervening on hydraulic circuit of the
rear brakes. HANDBRAKE
Controlled by a lever, it works me-
chanically on the rear brakes.
SUSPENSION
Front:
Independent wheel type, lower wish-
bones anchored to telescopic sup-
ports consisting of a cast iron riser
rigidly connected to a hydraulic dou-
ble action shock absorber. Leaf spring
and coaxial pads with the shock ab-
sorbers. Permanently lubricated joints.
Anti-roll bar anchored to the body
acting on suspension arm.
Rear:
Independent wheel with coil springs.
Jointed steel arms with bush and dou-
ble action telescopic gas shock ab-
sorbers. Water, ice and salt
sprinkled on the road de-
posit on the brake disc
and reduce effectiveness when
you brake.
Pay attention when in-
stalling extra spoilers, al-
loy wheels and non stan-
dard wheel caps: they could re-
duce the ventilation of the
brakes, thus reducing their effi-
ciency when braking suddenly
and frequently, or on long down-
hill slopes.

PROVISIONS FOR THE PROCESSING OF A VEHICLE
AT THE END OF ITS LIFE-CYCLE
For years now Fiat has been developing its global commitment towards the safeguarding and protection of the Environment through the
continuous improvement of its production processes and the making of increasingly more “eco friendly” products. With a view to guar-
anteeing the best possible service to clients in full observance of environmental standards and in response to the obligations imposed by
European Directive 2000/53/EC on end-of-life vehicles, Fiat offers its clients the possibility to hand in their vehicle* at the end of its life
span without additional costs.
The European Directive, in fact, provides for the take-back of the vehicle without the last holder or owner of the same incurring
expenses due to the fact that the market value of the vehicle is zero or negative. In particular, in almost all of the countries of the
European Union, up until 1st January 2007, take-back of the vehicle free of charge only applies to vehicles registered from 1 July 2002
on, while, from 2007 on, take-back will be carried out free of charge, independently of the year of registration, provided that the vehicle
still contains all its essential component parts (especially engine and body) and is free from additional waste materials.
Our contracted network of authorised treatment facilities has been carefully selected in order to provide a quality service to our cus-
tomers by de-polluting and recycling “End of Life Vehicles” to approved environmental standards. To find out the location of your near-
est authorised treatment facility, offering free of charge take-back, simply contact one of our dealers or refer to the Fiat web site or call
the toll free number 00800 3428 0000.
