FIAT FIORINO 2018 Owner handbook (in English)

Versions with COMFORT-MATIC
transmission
Make sure that the gearbox is in neutral
(N) (checking that the vehicle moves
when pushed) and proceed in the same
way as for towing a normal vehicle
with a manual transmission.
If the gear lever cannot be put in
neutral, do not tow the vehicle, but
contact a Fiat Dealership.
WARNING
129)Before towing, turn the ignition key to
MAR-ON and then to STOP without
removing it. The steering column
will automatically lock when the key is
removed and the wheels cannot be
steered.
130)Before tightening the hook clean the
threaded housing thoroughly. Before
towing the vehicle, make sure that the tow
ring is fully tightened in its appropriate
housing.131)Do not start the engine whilst the
vehicle is being towed.
132)Remember that the brake booster will
not work while the vehicle is being towed
and that more pressure must be applied to
the pedal. Do not use flexible cables when
towing and avoid jerky movements. During
towing operations, make sure that the
fastened joint does not damage adjoining
components. When towing the vehicle, it is
necessary to obey specific road regulations
which relate both to the towing device as
well as to the behaviour to adopt on the
road. Do not start the engine whilst the
vehicle is being towed.
WARNING
41)The front and rear tow hooks should
be used only for emergencies on the road.
You are allowed to tow the vehicle for
short distances using an appropriate
device in accordance with the highway
code (a rigid bar), to move the vehicle on
the road in readiness for towing or
transport via a tow truck. Tow hooks
MUST NOT be used to tow vehicles off the
road or where there are obstacles and/or
for towing operations using cables or other
non-rigid devices. In compliance with the
above conditions, towing must take place
with the two vehicles (one towing, the
other towed) aligned as much as possible
along the same centre line.

SERVICING AND CARE

SCHEDULED
SERVICING
Correct servicing is crucial for
guaranteeing a long life for the vehicle
under the best conditions.
This is why Fiat has planned a series of
checks and services every 30,000/
35,000 km.
The scheduled maintenance
programme does not, however, cover
all the vehicle requirements; during
the initial period, before the
30,000/35,000 kilometre service and
later on, between services, routine
operations must be carried out
like systematically checking and
topping up fluid levels, checking the
tyre inflation pressure, etc.
IMPORTANT Scheduled Servicing
interventions are set out by the
Manufacturer. Failure to carry them out
can cause the guarantee to decline.
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.
