TOWING THE VEHICLE
The tow ring supplied with the vehicle is located in the
tool box located either behind the left seat backrest (Car-
go versions) or in the boot (Doblò / Doblò Combi ver-
sions).
FASTENING THE TOW
RING fig. 178-179
Proceed as follows:
❒release the cap A;
❒remove the tow ring B from the tool box;
❒screw the ring tightly onto the rear or front threaded
pin.
RAISING THE VEHICLE
If the vehicle needs to be lifted, go to a Fiat Dealership
which is equipped with the arm hoist or workshop lift.
Don’t try to recharge a frozen battery: de-
frost it first or it might explode. If the bat-
tery was frozen, have it inspected by specialised
personnel before recharging to check that the in-
ternal elements are not damaged and that the
casing is not cracked, which could cause poiso-
nous, corrosive acid to leak.

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).

If, after buying the vehicle, you want to install electrical
accessories requiring permanent electric supply (alarm,
etc.) or having high power level consumption, contact
a Fiat Dealership, whose qualified personnel, in addition
to suggesting the most suitable devices from the Lin-
eacessori Fiat range, will assess the overall electrical con-
sumption to determine whether the vehicle’s electrical
system is capable of withstanding the load required, or
whether it should be integrated with a more powerful
battery.
Since these devices continue to use electricity even when
the engine is off, they gradually run down the battery.

INDEXUSEFUL ADVICE FOR EXTENDING THE LIFE
OF YOUR BATTERY
To avoid draining your battery and make it last longer,
follow these instructions closely:
❒when you park the vehicle, ensure the doors, boot and
bonnet are closed properly so that the ceiling lights do
not stay on;
❒turn off the ceiling lights, although the car does have
an automatic system for switching off internal lights;
❒do not leave devices (e.g. sound system, hazard lights,
etc.) switched on for a long time when the engine is
not running;
❒before performing any operation on the electrical sys-
tem, disconnect the negative battery cable;
❒make sure battery terminals are fully tightened.
The battery is also more prone to the risk of freezing (at
temperatures as high as –10°C). If the vehicle is off the
road for long periods, refer to “Vehicle inactivity” in the
“Starting and driving” section.
