WARNINGDo not start the engine when towing the vehicle.
Before starting to tow, turn the ignition key to MAR and then to STOP. Do not
remove the key. If the key is removed, the steering lock engages automatically
resulting in the impossibility to steer the wheels. WARNING
WARNINGWhen towing, remember that without the help of the servobrake and power
steering, a greater effort is required on the pedal and steering wheel. Do not use
flexible cables for towing and avoid jerks. During towing operations make sure that
fastening the joint to the car does not damage the components in contact with it.
When towing the car, you must comply with the specific traffic regulations
regarding the tow ring and how to tow on the road.

SCHEDULED SERVICING
Correct maintenance is essential for ensuring long car
life under the best conditions.
This is why Fiat has programmed a series of checks
and maintenance operations every 20,000 km.
It is however important to remember that scheduled
servicing does not completely cover all the car’s
requirements: also in the initial period before the first
service coupon and later, between one coupon and
another, ordinary care is still required such as for
example routine check and topping up the level of
fluids, tyre pressure check, etc.IMPORTANT The Programmed Maintenance coupons
are specified by the Manufacturer. Failure to have
them carried out may invalidate the warranty.
Scheduled Servicing is performed by all Fiat Dealership,
at pre-established times.
If during each operation, in addition to the ones
programmed, the need arises for further replacements
or repairs, these may be carried out only with the
explicit agreement of the Customer.
IMPORTANT You are advised to contact Fiat
Dealership in the event of any minor operating faults,
without waiting for the next service coupon.
If your car is used frequently for towing, the interval between one service coupon and the other
must be reduced.
