EOBD SYSTEM
The EOBD system (European On
Board Diagnosis) allows continuos di-
agnosis of the components of the ve-
hicle correlated with emissions.
Furthermore, the system warns the
driver of deterioration concerning the
emission system components by
means of the Uwarning light on the
instrument panel.
The objective is to:
– monitor system efficiency;
– warn when failures can increase
emissions over the threshold estab-
lished by the European regulations;
– warn of the need to replace dete-
riorated components.
Furthermore, the system is equipped
with a connector for interfacing with
specific tools used to read the error
codes stored in the control unit mem-
ory along with a set of diagnostic and
engine specific parameters.IMPORTANTAfter eliminating the
problem, your Fiat Dealershipwill
run a bench test to fully check the sys-
tem. In some cases, a long road test
may be required. Contact a Fiat Dealer-
ship as soon as possible if
the Uwarning light ei-
ther does not come on when the
key is turned to MAR or comes
on, with fixed or flashing light,
when travelling. Warning light U
operation can be checked by
means of special equipment by
traffic agents. Always comply
with the traffic regulations in
force in the country where you
are travelling.
SOUND SYSTEM
If the “Sound System” has not been
requested, the vehicle features an odd-
ment compartment on the dashboard.
If you wish to have a radio
installed, after purchasing
the vehicle, first go to a Fiat
Dealership who will be able to
advise on the subject in order to
safeguard the life of the battery and
protect the vehicle electrical sys-
tem. Excessive absorption will drain
and damage the battery and may
invalidate the battery warranty. The
lack of protection provided with a
factory-fitted radio may adversely
affect the correct operation of the
vehicle diagnostic system.
LIGHT PRESETTING
The system consists of the following:
– sound system power wires;
– wires for front speakers on the
dashboard, doors (where provided)
and rear speakers for passengers
transport versions;
– sound system compartment;
– aerial wire and aerial.

114DRIVING YOUR VEHICLE
The tow hitch must comply with the
current regulation, with reference to
Directive 94/20/EC and amendments.
Install a tow hitch which is suitable
for the towing capacity of the vehicle.
Use a unified coupling for the elec-
trical connections. The coupling is gen-
erally fitted on a specific mount fas-
tened to the tow hitch.
For electrical connection, a 7 or 13
pole 12VDC coupling must be used
(CUNA/UNI and ISO/DIN standards).
Follow the instructions provided by
the manufacturer of the vehicle and/or
the tow hitch.
Use the specific trailer light fusebox
for electrical connections.
An electric brake should be supplied
directly by the battery through a cable
with a cross section of no less than 2.5
mm
2.In addition to the electrical connec-
tion, only the lead for powering an
electric brake and the lead to power
a light inside the trailer not exceed-
ing 15W may be connected to the ve-
hicle’s electrical system.
For connections use the preset con-
trol unit with battery cable no less
than 2,5 mm
2.
FITTING DIAGRAM
The trailer tow hitch is to be fixed in
the points indicated (see diagram fig.
4).
The plate 1must have a minimum
thickness of 6 mm. The fastening
points 2will be equipped with shims
’16 x 2 mm. The tow hitch structure
is fastened in the points shown with Ø
by means of six M8 screws and four
M10 screws.
Fasten the tow hitch to the body and
trim the bumper with the frame pro-
vided with the assembly kit.
After fitting the tow hitch, the emp-
ty vehicle weight will increase by ap-
proximately 15.5 kg. The ABS system will not
control the trailer braking
system. Great care
should therefore be taken when
driving on slippery road surfaces.
Under no circumstances
modify the vehicle’s brak-
ing system for trailer
braking control. The trailer’s
braking system must be com-
pletely independent of the vehi-
cle’s hydraulic system.
TOW HITCH INSTALLATION
The towing device should be fas-
tened to the body by specialised per-
sonnel according to any additional
and/or integrative information supplied
by the Manufacturer of the device.
