with bottle:
park the vehicle on ground level;
turn off the engine by turning the key
in the OFF position;
open the fuel flap A fig. 116 and
then unscrew and remove the cap C
fig. 116 from the UREA filler;
screw the bottle of AdBlue (UREA)
into the filler until it is fully tightened (fig.
117, ref. 1);
press the bottom of the bottle
towards the filler to release the bottle's
safety valve and start topping up (fig.
117 ref. 2);
if the level of AdBlue in the bottle
does not drop while topping up, it
means that you have filled the reservoir,
so pull the bottle towards you to
re-close the bottle's safety valve and
unscrew the bottle from the filler (fig.
117, ref. 3);
after removing the bottle, refit the
cap C fig. 116 on the UREA filler by
turning it clockwise until it is fully
tightened;
turn the key in the pawl starter in the
ON position (no need to start the
engine);
wait for the warning on the
instrument panel to switch off before
moving the vehicle, the warning light
may stay on for a few seconds to half a

movement of the vehicle, the warning
light will remain on for a longer period of
time, but there are no problems on the
engine functionality;
if topping up is done with the UREA
tank empty, you have to wait two
minutes before starting the vehicle;
NoteThe driving conditions (altitude,
vehicle speed, load, etc.) determine the
quantity of UREA used by the vehicle.
In order to use the additive for Diesel
Emissions (UREA) correctly, see "Fluids
and lubricants" in the "Technical data".

INSTRUCTIONS FOR
USING THE REMOVABLE
BALL HEAD TOW BAR
40) 41) 42) 43) 44) 45)Before setting off, check the correct
locking of the removable ball head tow
bar, as follows:
The green mark of the flywheel must
coincide with the green mark on the
tow bar.
The flywheel is in the stop position
on the tow bar (without slot).
Locked lock and key removed. The
flywheel cannot be removed.
Ball head bar firmly secured to the
housing pipe. Check by shaking with a
hand.
The fitting procedure must be repeated
if any of the 4 checked requirements
is not met.
If even only one of the requirements is
not met the tow hook must not be
used, as in this case there is risk of
accidents. Contact the joint
manufacturer.
The ball head tow bar can be fitted and
removed manually, without needing
any tool.
Never use working tools or means, as
the mechanism could be damaged.
Never unlock in the case of trailer
attached to the vehicle or fitted rack.When driving without trailer or rack the
ball head tow bar must be removed
and the closing plug must always
be inserted in the housing pipe. This
applies particularly if the visibility of the
number plate characters or of the
lighting system is reduced.

The ball head tow bar is usually in the
released position when taken out from
the boot. This can be observed by
the flywheel spaced from the tow bar,
corresponding to a slot of approx. 5
mm (see figure) and by the red mark on
the flywheel directed to the green
mark on the tow bar.

Please note that the tow bar can be
installed only when in these conditions.
If the locking mechanism of the tow
bar is disengaged before the
installation, or at any other time, and is
in the locked position, it must be
pre-loaded. The locked position can be
identified by the green mark of the
flywheel coinciding with the green mark
of the tow bar and by the flywheel in
the stop position on the tow bar,
namely without slot (see figure).
The locking mechanism is pre-loaded
as follows: with the key inserted and
the lock open, extract the flywheel
following the direction of the arrow and,
to pre-load, rotate according to the
direction of the arrow b until the stop.
The release lever is engaged and the
locking mechanism remains in the
pre-loading position even when the
flywheel is released. The tow bar must
be inserted in the housing pipe with the
coupling pin for the installation. Insert
from the bottom and push upwards.
The mechanism then locks
automatically. Keep your hands far from
the flywheel, as it rotates during the
locking procedure.2. The tow bar must be inserted in the
housing pipe with the coupling pin
for the installation. Insert from the

position. Then remove the tow bar from
the housing pipe. The flywheel can
then be released; it autonomously
stops in the released position.
3. Arrange the tow bar in the luggage
compartment so that it cannot be
dirtied or damaged by other
transported objects.
4. Insert the suitable plug in the
mounting pipe.
WARNING
40)The removable ball head bar must be
repaired and taken apart by the
manufacturer only.
41)The accompanying plate must be in a
highly visible point of the vehicle, near
the mounting pipe or inside the luggage
compartment.
42)To ensure correct operation of the
system, periodically remove all dirt deposits
from the ball head bar and from the
mounting pipe. The mechanical
components must be serviced at the
specified intervals. The lock must only be
treated with graphite.
43)Periodically lubricate the joints, the
sliding surfaces and the balls with grease
without resin or oil. Lubrication is also a
further corrosion protection.
44)If the vehicle is washed with high-
pressure jets, the ball head bar must be
removed and the dedicated cap fitted. The
ball head bar must never be treated with
steam jets.
45)Two keys are supplied together with
