IN AN EMERGENCY

Before fastening the tow
hitch clean the threaded
housing accurately. Be-
fore starting to tow, make sure
the tow hitch is well fastened on
the threaded pin.While the vehicle is be-
ing towed with the engine
off, remember that the
brake pedal and steering will re-
quire more effort as you no
longer have the benefit of the
power brakes and power steer-
ing. Do not use flexible cables to
tow. Avoid jerking. Whilst tow-
ing, ensure that the coupling to
the vehicle does not damage the
surrounding components.IMPORTANTFor versions with
automatic gearbox, make sure the
gear is in neutral position (N) and pro-
ceed as described for vehicles with
mechanical gearbox. If the gear cannot
be put in neutral position (N) do not
tow the vehicle and contact a Fiat
Dealership.
Before starting to tow,
turn the ignition key to M
and then to S. Do not re-
move the key. If the key is re-
moved, the steering lock engages
automatically which prevents the
wheels being turned.
When towing the vehi-
cle, you must comply
with the specific traffic
regulations regarding the tow
hitch and how to tow on the
road.
Do not start the engine
when being towed.

SCHEDULED
SERVICING
Correct maintenance of the car is es-
sential for ensuring it stays in tip-top
condition for a long time to come.
This is why Fiat has programmed a
number of service operations every
30,000 km.
Remember, however, that Scheduled
Servicing is not enough. Even before
30,000 km are reached, and also in be-
tween service coupons, you should
still check the level of the various liq-
uids and tyre pressure regularly.IMPORTANTThe Manufacturer
requires the Service Schedule coupons-
related checks to be carried out. Fail-
ure to do so could result in the war-
ranty being cancelled for those defects
that can be attributed to such failure.
Scheduled Servicing is performed at
a Fiat Dealershipand there is a set
time scale for such operations.
If it is seen that further replacements
or repairs are necessary in addition to
the work being carried out, these will
only be done after the customer has
his/her consent.IMPORTANTYou are recom-
mended to get in touch with a Fiat
Dealershipimmediately if any small
running problems crop up without
waiting for the next coupon.
If the vehicle is fre-
quently used to tow trail-
ers, carry out the sched-
uled service operations more fre-
quently than shown.

CAR MAINTENANCE
188
Should prevailing use of the vehicle
be under one of the following special-
ly heavy conditions:
– trailer or caravan towing;

repeated and with external tempera-
tures below zero;– frequently idling engines or long
distance low speed driving (e.g. door-
to-door deliveries) or in case of a long
term inactivity;
– driving in the city;
carry out the following checks more
frequently than required in the Service
Schedule:
– check front disk brake pad condi-
tions and wear;– check cleanness of locks, bonnet
and boot and lever cleanness and lu-
brication;
– sight inspect the conditions of: en-
gine, gearbox, transmission, pipes and
hoses (exhaust - fuel - brakes), rubber
parts (boots, sleeves, bushes, etc.);

PROVISIONS FOR THE PROCESSING OF A VEHICLE AT THE END OF
ITS LIFE-CYCLE
For years now Fiat has been developing its global commitment towards the safeguarding and protection of the Environ-
ment through the continuous improvement of its production processes and the making of increasingly more “eco friendly”
products. With a view to guaranteeing the best possible service to clients in full observance of environmental norms and in
response to the obligations imposed by European Directive 2000/53/EC on end-of-life vehicles, Fiat offers its clients the
possibility to hand in their vehicle* at the end of its life span without additional costs.
The European Directive, in fact, provides for the collection of the vehicle without the last holder or owner of the same in-
curring expenses due to the fact that the market value of the vehicle is zero or negative. In particular, in almost all of the
countries of the European Union, up until 1st January 2007, collection of the vehicle free of charge only applies to vehicles
registered from 1 July 2002 on, while, from 2007 on collection will be carried out free of charge independently of the year
of registration, provided that the vehicle still contains its essential component parts (especially engine and body) and is free
from additional waste materials.
To have your end-of-life vehicle collected at no additional cost, simply contact one of our dealers or one of the collection
and demolition centres authorised by Fiat. These centres have been carefully selected with a view to guaranteeing a good
quality service for the collection, processing and recycling of discarded vehicles while protecting the Environment.
Information on collection and demolition centres may be obtained from the network of Fiat and Fiat Commercial Vehicle
dealers, by calling the toll free number 00800 3428 0000 or by consulting the Fiat web site.
* Passenger transportation vehicles to seat a max. of nine persons, having a total admissible weight of 3.5 t
