If the engine begins to “lose its
smoothness” when travelling, contin-
ue your journey but reduce the
demands you are making on the
engine and have the car seen to at a
Fiat Dealership.
When the instrument panel fuel
reserve warning light Kcomes on, fill
up as soon as possible. A low level of
fuel can cause an uneven supply of
fuel to the engine with the inevitable
increase in the temperature of the
exhaust gas and serious damage to
the catalytic converter.
Never run the engine with one or
more spark plugs disconnected, even
for testing purposes.
Do not warm up the engine by let-
ting it idle for a while before moving
off unless the outside temperature is
very low and, even in this case, only
do so for less than thirty seconds.TOWING
A TRAILER
IMPORTANT
The car must be fitted with a
homologated tow hitch and suitable
electrical system for towing a cara-
van or trailer. Have the tow hitch fit-
ted by an expert who will issue spe-
cific documentation for use on
roads.
Fit special and/or additional
rearview mirrors in accordance with
the highway code.
Remember that towing a trailer
makes it harder for the car to climb
the maximum gradients specified,
increases braking and overtaking dis-
tance, proportionally to the overall
weight of the trailer.
The weight the trailer exerts on
the car’s tow hitch coupling reduces
the car’s loading capacity by the
same amount. Do not install other heat shields
and do not remove those already fit-
ted to the catalytic converter and
exhaust pipe.
Do not allow anything to be
sprayed onto the catalytic converter,
lambda sensor and exhaust pipe.
When functioning normal-
ly the catalytic converter
develops high temperatures. For
this reason do not park the car
over inflammable material (grass,
dry leaves, pine needles, etc.): fire
hazard.
WARNING
Failure to heed these pre-
cautions could cause a
fire.
