IF THE BATTERY IS FLAT
IMPORTANT The battery recharging pro-
cedure is provided as an example only.
You are recommended to go to a Fiat
Dealership to have this operation per-
formed.
Low amperage slow recharging for ap-
proximately 24 hour is advised. Rapid bat-
tery charging with high currents could
damage the battery.
Charge the battery as follows:
❒disconnect battery negative terminal;
❒connect the charger cables to the bat-
tery terminals, observing the poles;
❒turn on the charger;
❒when you have finished, turn the charg-
er off before disconnecting the battery;
❒reconnect battery negative terminal.Battery fluid is poisonous
and corrosive: avoid contact
with your skin and eyes. The battery
recharging operation must be per-
formed in a ventilated placed away
from naked flames o possible sources
of sparks to avoid the risk of explo-
sion and fire.
WARNING
Never attempt to recharge
a frozen battery: defrost it
first to prevent the risk of explosion.
If a battery was frozen, have it in-
spected by specialised personnel be-
fore recharging to check that the in-
ternal elements are not damaged
and that the casing is not cracked
causing the risk of leakage of poiso-
nous, corrosive gas.

LIFTING THE CAR
If the car is to be lifted, go to a Fiat Deal-
ership which is equipped with the arm
hoist or workshop lift.
Lift the car exclusively by positioning the
jack arms or the shop jack in the points
shown in the figure.
TOWING THE CAR
The tow ring provided with the car is
housed in the tool box under the boot
mat.
The front and rear tow hooks
should only be used on the
roads for emergency operations. Tow-
ing is permitted for short journies us-
ing the special device that conforms to
the highway code (rigid bar) to move
the vehicle onto the road in prepara-
tion for towing or transportation on
a special vehicle.
The hooks should NOT be used for re-
covering the vehicle away from the
road or where there are obstacles
and/or for towing using cables or oth-
er non rigid devices. With regard to the
above conditions, towing should take
place with the two vehicles (the one
towing and the one being towed)
aligned as closely as possible along the
same centre line axis.

FASTENING THE TOW
RING fig. 43-44
Proceed as follows:
❒release the cap A;
❒take the tow hook Bfrom the sup-
port;
❒tighten the ring on the rear or front
threaded pin.
The power brakes and pow-
er steering will not work while
the car is being towed. More effort on
the brake pedal and steering wheel will
therefore be required. Do not use wires
for towing. Do not jerk. Make sure not
to damage parts in contact with the
car while towing. Respect the specific
rules of the Highway Code when tow-
ing the car specifically in relation to
the towing device and the behaviour
to maintain on the road.
WARNING
fig. 43F0R0130m
fig. 44F0R0131m

towing the car.
WARNING
Clean the threaded seat
carefully before fastening
the ring. Make sure that the ring is
fully fastened in the seat before tow-
ing the car.
WARNING
Release the steering wheel
lock before towing (see “Ig-
nition device” in “Dashboard and con-
trols”).

MAINTENANCE
IMPORTANT Scheduled service coupons
are required by the manufacturer. Default
may cancel the warranty.
Scheduled Servicing is performed by all
Fiat 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 car is used frequently for towing,
the interval between one service coupon
and the other must be reduced.SCHEDULED SERVICING
Correct maintenance is essential for en-
suring long car life under the best condi-
tions.
This is why Fiat has planned a series of
checks and maintenance operations every
30,000 km.
Scheduled servicing will not however ful-
ly cover all of the need of your car: It is
however important to remember that
scheduled servicing does not completely
cover all the car’s requirements: also in
the initial period before 30,000 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.
