159IN AN EMERGENCY
WITH A SHOP JACK
The vehicle can be raised on a shop
jack if it is empty. This is only possi-
ble from the side by placing the jack at
the points provided in the underbody
as indicated infig. 41.
WITH AN ARM HOIST
The vehicle must be raised by plac-
ing the ends of the arms at the points
indicated in fig. 41.TOWING THE
VEHICLE
The vehicle has two eyes for an-
choring the tow hitch fig. 42.
A- Front eye
B- Rear eye (for towing another ve-
hicle).
fig. 42
F0D0177m
Before starting to tow, turn
the ignition key to MAR
and then to STOP. Do not remove
the key. If the key is removed, the
steering lock engages automatical-
ly which prevents the wheels being
turned.
WARNING
While the vehicle is being
towed with the engine off,
remember that the brake pedal and
steering will require 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 towing,
ensure that coupling to the vehicle
does not damage the surrounding
components.

CHECKING
FLUID LEVELS
Be careful not to mix up
the various types of fluids
when you are topping up:
they are mutually incompatible
and could damage the vehicle.
Do not smoke while work-
ing in the engine compart-
ment: the presence of flammable
gas and vapour could cause a fire.
WARNING
Scarves, ties and other
loose articles of clothing
could easily get caught up in mov-
ing parts. This can be extremely
dangerous for the wearer.

BRAKE FLUID
Loosen plug A-fig. 12and check
that the level of the fluid in the reser-
voir is at the maximum
Check at regular intervals that the
level of the fluid in the reservoir is at
the maximum.
Use only DOT 4 fluid only for top-
ping up. We recommend TUTELA
TOP 4that the braking system was
originally filled with.
IMPORTANTBrake fluid is hy-
groscopic (meaning it absorbs humid-
ity). This is why the fluid should be
changed more frequently than shown
in the Service Schedule if the vehicle
is mainly driven in areas with a high
percentage of humidity in the air. Make sure that the
highly corrosive brake
fluid does not drip onto
the paintwork. If it does, wash it
off immediately with water.
fig. 12
F0D0067m
The symbol πon the con-
tainer indicates synthetic
brake fluid distinguishing it from
mineral fluid. Using mineral type
fluid would damage the special rub-
ber braking system gaskets beyond
repair.
WARNING
Brake fluid is poisonous
and very corrosive. In the
event of accidental contact, wash
the affected part with water and
mild soap and rinse. If the fluid is
swallowed, call a doctor immedi-
ately.
