IN AN EMERGENCY

connect the other end of the cable
used for negative (–) to an engine earth
(a visible metal part of the engine or
gearbox/transmission of the vehicle
with flat battery) away from the battery
and the fuel injection system;
start the vehicle engine with the
auxiliary battery, let it run for a few
minutes at idling. Start the engine of the
vehicle with flat battery.
Once the engine has started, remove
the leads, reversing the order above.
If after a few attempts the engine does
not start, do not persist but contact a
Fiat Dealership.
BUMP STARTING
Never bump start the engine by
pushing, towing or coasting downhill.
WARNING
155)Before opening the bonnet, make
sure that the engine is off and that the
ignition key is in the STOP position. Follow
the indications on the plate underneath the
bonnet. We recommend that you remove
the key from the ignition if other people
remain in the vehicle. The vehicle should
always be left after the key has been
removed or turned to the STOP position.
During refuelling, make sure that the engine
is off (and that the ignition key is in the
STOP position).
156)Do not get too close to the radiator
cooling fan: the electric fan may start;
danger of injury. Scarves, ties and other
loose clothing might be pulled by moving
parts.
157)Remove any metal objects (e.g. rings,
watches, bracelets), that might cause an
accidental electrical contact and cause
serious injury.
158)The batteries contain acid that can
burn skin or eyes. Batteries produce
hydrogen, which is easily flammable and
explosive. Therefore, keep away flames or
devices which may cause sparks.
IMPORTANT
67)Never use a fast battery-charger to
start the engine as this could damage the
electronic systems of your vehicle,
particularly the ignition and engine fuel
supply control units.68)Do not connect the cable to the
negative terminal (–) of the flat battery. The
following spark could lead to battery
explosion and cause serious harm. Only
use the specific earth point; do not use any
other exposed metallic part.

screws 2 firmly.
IMPORTANT
70)It is advisable to contact a Fiat
Dealership to have the refitting procedure
carried out. If you would like to proceed
autonomously, special attention must be
paid to the correct coupling of the retaining
clips. Otherwise, noise might be heard due
to an incorrect fastening of the lower cover
with the upper cover.

WARNING
160)Before towing, turn the key to MAR
and then to STOP without extracting it. The
steering column will automatically lock
when the key is removed and the wheels
cannot be steered. Also check that the
gearbox is in neutral (on versions equipped
with automatic transmission (if present),
check that the gear lever is in N position).161)The brake servo and the
electromechanical power steering will not
work while the vehicle is being towed. You
will therefore need to apply more force on
the brake pedal and steering wheel. Do not
use flexible ropes when towing, and avoid
jerky movements. During towing, make
sure that the trailer hitch does not damage
any components it is touching. When
towing the car, you must comply with all
specific traffic regulations and adopt an
appropriate driving behaviour. Do not start
the engine while towing the car. Before
tightening the ring, clean the threaded
housing thoroughly. Make sure that the ring
is fully screwed into the housing before
towing the car.
162)The front and rear tow hooks should
be used only for emergencies on the road.
You are allowed to tow the vehicle 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 rings 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. In compliance with the
above conditions, towing must take place
with the two vehicles (one towing, the other
towed) aligned as much as possible along
the same centre line.

IN AN EMERGENCY

SCHEDULED
SERVICING
Correct servicing is crucial for
guaranteeing a long life for the vehicle
under the best conditions.
For this reason, Fiat has planned a
series of checks and services at fixed
distance and/or time intervals, as
described in the Service Schedule.
To keep the car’s efficiency in tip-top
condition, in the following Scheduled
Service plan pages a few additional
checks are listed that should be carried
out more frequently with respect to the
normal coupon redemption schedule.
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 with the owner's explicit
agreement only. If your car is used
frequently for towing, the interval
between one scheduled servicing
operation and the next should be
reduced.
IMPORTANT NOTES
Scheduled Servicing interventions are
set out by the Manufacturer. Failure to
comply with the schedule may
invalidate the warranty.We advise sharing any doubts
regarding the proper operation of the
car with your Fiat Dealership, before
waiting for the next coupon redemption.
