165) Do not attempt to charge a
frozen battery: it must be thawed
first, otherwise it may explode.
If freezing has occurred, the
battery should be checked by
skilled personnel to make sure
that the internal elements are not
damaged and that the body is
not cracked, with the risk of
leaking poisonous and corrosive
acid.
LIFTING THE

Fiat Dealership which is equipped
with the arm hoist or workshop lift.
The vehicle must only be lifted laterally
by placing the ends of the arms or
workshop lift in the areas shown in fig.
231.

IN AN EMERGENCY

The front ring is located in the tool box
beneath the passenger side seat. On
versions with Fix&Go kit and without
spare wheel, the tool box is available
only on request for versions/markets
where provided.
In the absence of the tool box the
vehicle front tow hook is housed in the
on-board documentation container,
together with the Owner Handbook.To use it, proceed as follows:
❒Open the flap A and remove it as
illustrated in fig. 232;
❒turn retaining knob B fig. 232
anticlockwise and remove it to allow
the box fig. 233 to come out;
❒take the screwdriver provided from
the box and prise up at the point
shown to raise the cap C fig. 235;
❒take the tow ring D from the box and
screw it onto the threaded pin fig.
235.
The rear ring B fig. 236 is located at the
point shown in the diagram.
WARNING
166) Screw on the tow hook and
check that it stops at the end
of travel position.
167) Before towing, switch off the
steering lock (see "Starting
device" paragraph under the
"Knowing your car" section).
168) Remember that the brake servo
and the electric power steering
are not available during towing
operations. Significantly greater
force must be exerted on the
brake pedal and on the steering
wheel to operate them.
169) Do not use flexible cables for
towing and avoid jerking. During
towing operations, make sure that
the fastened joint does not
damage adjoining components.
170) When towing the vehicle
comply with the specific rules of
the Highway Code regarding
the towing device and the
behaviour on the road.
171) Do not start the engine while

172) Towing must be made
exclusively on roads/streets; the
device must not be used to
recover the vehicle if it got off the
road.
173) Towing must not be made for
getting past significant obstacles
on the road (e.g. heaps of snow
or material on the road surface).
174) Towing must take place with
the two vehicles (one towing,
the other towed) aligned as much
as possible; towing by roadside
assistance vehicles, too, must
take place with the two vehicles
aligned as much as possible

SERVICING AND MAINTENANCE
Correct maintenance permits the
performance of the car to be
maintained over time, as well as limited
running costs and safeguarding the
efficiency of the safety systems.

SCHEDULED
SERVICINGCorrect servicing is essential for
ensuring long vehicle life under the best
conditions.
This is why Fiat has planned a series of
checks and maintenance operations
every 48,000 km depending on the
engine version.
The scheduled maintenance does not,
however, cover all the needs of the
vehicle: also during the initial period,
before the 48,000 km service and
between one service and the next,
ordinary care such as systematic fluid
level checks with top ups and tyre
pressure checks, etc. remain
necessary.
IMPORTANT The Scheduled Servicing
services are set out by the
Manufacturer. Failure to have them
carried out may invalidate the warranty.
Scheduled Servicing can be carried
out by any Fiat Dealership, at
pre-established times.
If during each operation, in addition to
the ones scheduled, the need arises for
further replacements or repairs, these
may only be carried out with the
express agreement of the Customer.IMPORTANT It is advisable to inform a
Fiat Dealership of any small operating
irregularities without waiting for the next
service.
If your vehicle is used frequently for
towing, the interval between service
coupons must be reduced.
