normal wear and tear. Some precautions
are however needed. Avoid prolonged rubbing

GENERAL WARNINGS

vehicle specification and according to weather
conditions (high brightness, rain, snow and fog). Visibility

F0N0215mfig. 113
Notes on use
To clean the TV camera, it is advisable to use a non-
abrasive cloth when the protective glass is dirty or iced
over (on the outside). It is absolutely necessary to avoid
using any tool for cleaning as this could scratch the glass.
It is also advisable to use a dry non-abrasive cloth when
cleaning the display. The dust that settles on the display
may be removed with special brushes. Avoid using any
detergent for cleaning.
The display glass could break in the event of impact. In
this case, do not touch the liquid crystal that emerges
from the display. If this occurs, quickly wash the
contaminated parts with soap and water.

IMPORTANT The engine must be running to use the
electric brake or a winch.
In addition to the electrical branches, the vehicle’s
electric system can only be connected to the supply
cable for an electric brake and to the cable for an
internal light, though not above 15 W. For connections
use the preset control unit with battery cable no less
than 2.5 mm
2.
IMPORTANT The trailer tow hook contributes to the
length of the vehicle. When installing on long wheelbase
versions, it is only possible to install removable tow
hooks because the total vehicle length limit of 6 metres
is exceeded.
If no trailer is fitted, the hook must be removed from
the attachment base and it must not exceed the
vehicle’s original length.IMPORTANT If you wish to leave the tow hook fitted
without towing a trailer, it is advisable to contact a Fiat
Dealership for the relevant system update operations
because the tow hook could be detected as an obstacle
by the central sensors.
