DRIVING YOUR CAR
143
Remember that fog also means the
tarmac is wet and therefore manoeu-
vres of all kinds are more difficult and
stopping distances are longer:
– keep a good distance from the cars
in front of you;
– when possible, avoid spurts of
speed or sudden deceleration;
– do not overtake other vehicles if
you can help it;
– if you are forced to stop your ve-
hicle (breakdown, limited visibility,
etc.), first try to stop off the road.
Then turn on the hazard lights and, if
possible, the dipped headlights;
– rhythmically sound the horn if you
realise another vehicle is approaching.DRIVING IN
THE MOUNTAINS
The main suggestions are the fol-
lowing:
– when driving downhill use the en-
gine brake by engaging a low gear so
as not to overheat the brakes;
– under no circumstances should you
drive downhill with the engine off or
with the vehicle in neutral, let alone
with the ignition key out;
– drive at moderate speed without
“cutting” corners;
– remember that overtaking while
going uphill is slower and therefore re-
quires more clear road. If you are be-
ing overtaken while driving uphill,
make it easier for the other vehicle
to pass. DRIVING IN FOG
If the fog is thick, do not start out on
a journey unless you absolutely have to.
If driving in mist, blanket fog or when
there is the danger of fog patches:
– keep your speed down;
– turn on the dipped headlights, rear
fog lights and front fog lights, if fitted,
even during the day. Do not drive with
your headlights at full-beam.
IMPORTANTOn stretches of
road with good visibility, switch off
your rear foglights; the brightness of
these lights could annoy the people
travelling in the cars behind.

IN AN EMERGENCY
181
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.
