Before towing, turn the ignition key to
MAR and then to STOP without removing
it. The steering column will automatically lock
when the key is removed and the wheels cannot
be steered.
WARNING
When towing, remember that without the
help of the servo-brake and electric pow-
er steering, a greater effort is required on the ped-
al and steering wheel. Do not use flexible cables
when towing and avoid jerky movements. While
towing, make sure not to damage parts in contact
with the car. When towing the car, comply with
the regulations of the Highway Code about tow-
ing, both concerning the towing device and the
driving behaviour on the road.
WARNING
During towing, never start the engine.

CAR MAINTENANCE
SCHEDULED SERVICINGCorrect servicing is essential in guaranteeing a long life for
the car under the best conditions.
This is why Fiat has programmed a series of checks and
servicing operations every 20,000 km.
It is however important to remember that scheduled ser-
vicing does not completely cover all the car’s requirements:
also in the initial run-in period before 20,000 km service
coupon and later, between each servicing interval, ordi-
nary care is still required, such as for example routine
check and topping-up the level of fluids, tyre pressure
check, etc...
CORRECT USE
OF THE CAR
IMPORTANT Scheduled Servicing coupons are specified
by the Manufacturer. Failure to have them carried out may
invalidate the warranty.
Schedule servicing can be carried out by any Fiat Dealership,
at pre-established times.
If during each operation, in addition to the ones pro-
grammed, the need arises for further replacements or re-
pairs, these may only be carried out with the express
agreement of the Customer.
IMPORTANT It is advisable to contact a Fiat Dealership
in the event of any minor operating failure, without wait-
ing for the next service coupon.
If the car is used frequently for towing a trailer, the inter-
val between services should be reduced.

out of town with frequent acceleration in all gears; the
speed varies from 0 to 120 km/h;

combined consumption: the weighting is around 37%
urban cycle and 63% extra-urban cycle.
IMPORTANT The type of route, traffic conditions, weath-
er conditions, driving style, general condition of the car,
trim level/equipment/accessories, use of the climate con-
trol system, vehicle load, presence of roof racks and oth-
er situations that adversely affect the aerodynamics or wind
resistance lead to different fuel consumption figures than
those measured.
FUEL CONSUMPTIONThe fuel consumption figures given in the table below are
determined on the basis of the homologation tests set
down by relevant European Directives.
