FASTENING THE TOW RING
Proceed as follows:
❒take the tow hook Bfrom the sup-
port;
❒tighten the ring on the rear fig. 48 or
front threaded pin fig. 49.
fig. 48F0H0204mfig. 49F0H0205m
Before towing, turn the key
to MAR and then to STOP
without extracting it. The steering co-
lumn will automatically lock when
the key is removed and the wheels
cannot be steered.
WARNING
The power brakes and
power steering will not work
while the car is being towed. More
effort on the brake pedal and steering
wheel will therefore be required. Do
not use flexible cables when towing
and avoid jerky movements. Make su-
re not to damage parts in contact
with the car while towing. Respect
the specific rules of the Highway Co-
de when towing the car specifically in
relation to the towing device and the
behaviour to maintain on the road.
WARNING
Do not start the engine whi-
le towing the car.

Checking engine oil level
Check the oil level a few minutes (about

car parked on level ground.
The oil level shall be included between the
MINand MAXmarks on the dipstick .
The range between the MINand MAX-
levels corresponds to approximately 1 li-
tre of oil.

IMPORTANT A battery which is kept at
a charge of less than 50% for any length of
time will be damaged by sulphation leading
to a reduction in cranking power.
The battery will also be more at risk of
freezing (already at –10 °C).
Refer to the paragraph “Car inactivity” in
“Starting and driving” if the car is left
parked for a long time.
If after buying the car, you want to install
electric accessories which require per-
manent electric supply (alarm, etc.) con-
tact Fiat Dealership whose qualified per-
sonnel, in addition to suggesting the mo-
st suitable devices from Lineaccessori Fiat,
will evaluate the overall electric absorp-
tion, checking whether the car’s electric
system is capable of withstanding the load
required, or whether it should be inte-
grated with a more powerful battery.
Since these devices continue absorbing
energy even when the ignition key is off,
they gradually run down the battery. USEFUL ADVICE FOR
LENGTHENING THE LIFE OF
YOUR BATTERY
To avoid draining your battery and
lengthen its life, observe the following in-
dications:
❒when the car is parked, make sure that
the doors, bonnet and tailgate are clo-
sed properly to make sure that the li-
ghts inside the passenger compart-
ment go out;
❒switch off all lights inside the vehicle:
the car is however equipped with a sy-
stem which switches all internal lights
off automatically;
❒do not keep devices (e.g. sound sy-
stem, hazard lights, etc.) on for a long
time with the engine off;
❒before performing any operation on the
electrical system, disconnect the bat-
tery negative cable;
❒battery terminals shall always be per-
fectly tightened.Batteries contain very dange-
rous substances for the envi-
ronment. You are recommen-
ded to go to a Fiat Dealership
to have the battery replaced where the
old battery will be disposed of respec-
ting both the environment and the laws
in force.
If the vehicle needs to be off
the road for a long period
under conditions of intense cold, re-
move the battery and take it to a
heated place, otherwise it may free-
ze.
WARNING
When performing any ope-
ration on the battery or near
it, always protect your eyes with the
special goggles.
