The front and rear tow hooks should be
used only for emergencies on the road.You
are allowed to tow the car 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 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 towing operations using cables or
other non-rigid devices. Respecting the above
conditions, towing must take place with the two

SERVICING AND MAINTENANCE
SCHEDULED SERVICING
Correct servicing is essential for ensuring long
vehicle life under the best conditions.
This is why Fiat has planned a series of checks and
services every 30,000 km.
It is, however, important to remember that
scheduled servicing does not completely cover all the
requirements of the car: even in the initial period
before 30,000 km, and then subsequently between
one service and another, ordinary care is always
required such as routine checks involving topping up
fluid level, checking tyre pressures etc.
IMPORTANT The Scheduled Servicing Plan coupons
are set out by the Manufacturer. Failure to comply
with the schedule may invalidate the warranty.Scheduled Servicing is performed by all Fiat
Dealerships at given times.
If, during each part of the service, the need arises for
additional replacements or repairs, these may be
carried out only with the explicit agreement of the
Customer.
IMPORTANT It is advisable to inform a Fiat Dealer
of any small operating irregularities without waiting
for the next service.
The interval between scheduled services must be
reduced if your vehicle is used frequently for towing
trailers.

❒tyre inflation pressure and condition;
❒operation of lighting system (headlamps, direction
indicators, hazard warning lights, etc.);
❒operation of screen wash/wipe system and
positioning/wear of windscreen/rear window wiper

of idleness;
❒urban trips;
perform the following inspections more frequently
than shown on the Scheduled Servicing Plan:
❒check front disc brake pad condition and wear;
❒check cleanliness of bonnet and boot locks,
cleanliness and lubrication of linkage;
❒visually inspect the conditions of: engine, gearbox,
transmission, pipes and tubes (exhaust - fuel -
brakes), rubber parts (boots, sleeves, bushes, etc.);

FUEL CONSUMPTION
The fuel consumption figures, given in the table below, are determined on the basis of the homologation tests
laid down by specific European Directives.
The procedures below are followed for measuring consumption:
❒urban cycle: begins with cold starting, then follows a driving path simulating the usage of the vehicle in town
❒extra-urban cycle: driving that simulates using the vehicle out of town with frequent acceleration in all
gears; the speed varies from 0 to 120 km/h
❒combined fuel consumption: calculated with a weighting of approximately 37% of the urban cycle and 63%
of the extra-urban cycle.
IMPORTANT The type of route, traffic conditions, weather conditions, driving style, general condition of the
vehicle, trim level/equipment/accessories, use of the climate control, vehicle load, presence of roof racks
and other situations that adversely affect the aerodynamics or wind resistance lead to different fuel
consumption figures than those measured.
Fuel consumption according to the current European directive (litres x 100 km)
