If the vehicle is to be lifted, go to a Fiat
Dealership which is equipped with the arm
hoist or workshop lift.
Jack up the vehicle only by positioning the
jack arms or the shop jack in the points
shown in the figure.
TOWING THE VEHICLE
The vehicle has two eyes for anchoring the
towing device.
When towing, remember that
without the help of the brake
booster and power steering, a greater
effort is required on the pedal and
steering wheel. Do not use flexible ca-
bles for towing and avoid jerks. During
towing operations make sure that fas-
tening the joint to the vehicle does not
damage the components in contact
with it. When towing the vehicle, you
must comply with the specific traffic
regulations regarding the tow ring and
how to tow on the road.

MAINTENANCE
IMPORTANT The Programmed Mainte-
nance coupons are specified by the Man-
ufacturer. The failure to have them car-
ried out may invalidate the warranty.
Scheduled Servicing is performed by all Fi-
at Dealership, at pre-established times.
If during each operation, in addition to the
ones programmed, the need arises for fur-
ther replacements or repairs, these may
be carried out only with the explicit agree-
ment of the Customer.IMPORTANT You are advised to contact
Fiat Dealership in the event of any minor
operating faults, without waiting for the
next service coupon.
If your vehicle is used frequently for tow-
ing, the interval between one service
coupon and the other must be reduced.SCHEDULED SERVICING
Correct maintenance is essential for en-
suring long life to your vehicle at top con-
ditions.
This is why Fiat has programmed a series
of checks and maintenance operations
every 40,000/45,000 km according to en-
gine models.
It is however important to remember that
scheduled servicing does not completely
cover all the vehicle requirements: also
in the initial period before 40,000/45,000
km service coupon and later, between one
coupon and another, ordinary care is still
required such as for example routine
check and topping up the level of fluids,
tyre pressure check, etc...
