IN AN
EMERGENCY
Do not start the engine while
the car is being towed.
WARNING
Clean the threaded housing
carefully before fastening
the ring. Make sure that the ring is se-
curely fastened before towing the car.
WARNING
Release the steering wheel
lock before towing (see “Ig-
nition device” in “Dashboard and
controls”). The brake booster and
power steering will not work while the
vehicle is being towed. You will there-
fore need to apply more force to the
brake pedal and steering wheel. Do
not use bendy cables for towing and
avoid jerking. Make sure not to dam-
age parts in contact with the car
while towing. Respect the rules of the
highway code when towing the car,
specifically in relation to the towing
device and road conduct.
WARNING
The front and rear tow
hooks should be used only
for emergencies on the road. You are
allowed to tow the car for short dis-
tances 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
transporting via a breakdown vehicle.
Tow hooks MUST NOT be used to
tow vehicles off the road or where
there are obstacles and/or for tow-
ing operations using cables or other
non-rigid devices.
Respecting the above conditions,
towing must take place with two ve-
hicles (one towing, the other towed)
aligned as much as possible along the
same centre line.

Scheduled Servicing is offered by all Fiat
Dealerships according to fixed time or
kilometres/miles intervals.
If, during each operation, in addition to
the ones scheduled, the need arises for
further replacements or repairs, these
may be carried out only with your explicit
agreement. If your car is used frequent-
ly for towing, the interval between one
service operation and the next should be
reduced. IMPORTANT INFORMATION
The Scheduled Servicing services are set
out by the Manufacturer. Failure to have
them carried out may invalidate the war-
ranty.
It is advisable to inform a Fiat Dealership
of any small operating irregularities with-
out waiting for the following servicing.
For versions equipped with specific fuel
supply and/or trim level (e.g. LPG, Dua-
logic), in addition to what is described in
the following Scheduled Servicing Plan,
refer to the relevant additional items in
the dedicated supplements. SCHEDULED SERVICING
Correct servicing is crucial for guaran-
teeing a long life for the car under the
best conditions.
For this reason, Fiat has planned a series
of checks and services at fixed distance
intervals and, for versions/markets,
where provided, at fixed time intervals,
as described in the Scheduled Servicing
Plan.
Regardless of the above, it is always nec-
essary to carefully follow the instructions
in the Scheduled Servicing Plan (e.g. pe-
riodically check level of liquids, tyre pres-
sure, etc.).

DEMANDING USE
OF THE CAR
Should the car be used predominantly in
one of the following particularly demand-
ing conditions:
❒trailer or caravan towing;
❒dusty roads;
❒short (less than 7-8 km) and repeated journeys in sub-zero temperatures;
❒ frequently idling engine or long-dis- tance, low-speed driving (e.g. door-to-
door deliveries) or lengthy inactivity;
you should perform the following inspec-
tions more frequently than shown on the
Scheduled Servicing Plan:
❒ check front disc brake pad conditions and wear;
❒check cleanliness of bonnet and bootlocks, and cleanliness and lubrication of
linkages;
❒ visually inspect the conditions of: en- gine, gearbox, transmission, pipes and
tubes (exhaust – fuel – brakes), rubber
parts (boots, sleeves, bushes, etc.);
❒check battery charge and liquid level(electrolyte);
❒visually inspect the condition of the ac-cessory drive belts;
❒check pollen filter and replace, if re-
quired;
❒check air filter and replace, if required.
REGULAR CHECKS
Every 1,000 km or before long journeys,
check and, if necessary, top up:
❒engine coolant fluid level;
❒brake fluid level;
❒windscreen washer level;
❒tyre pressure and conditions.
❒operation of lights (headlights, directionindicators, hazard lights, etc.);
❒operation of the windscreen wiper/
washer system, position and wear of
the windscreen and rear window wiper
blades;
Every 3,000 km, check and top up, if re-
