fig. 54F0T0085m
fig. 55F0T0086m
Before starting towing oper-
ations, turn the ignition key
to MAR and then to STOP, without
extracting it. If the key is extracted,
the steering wheel lock will be auto-
matically activated, thus preventing
steering.
WARNING
During towing operations the
brake booster is not engaged.
Therefore, a heavier effort must be
made on the pedal. Do not use wires for
towing. Do not jerk. During towing op-
erations make sure not to damage parts
in contact with the vehicle. When tow-
ing the vehicle comply with the specific
rules of the Highway Code regarding the
towing device and the behaviour to
maintain on the road. Do not start the
engine while towing the vehicle.
WARNING
Clean the threaded seat care-
fully before fastening the ring.
Make sure that the ring is fully fastened
in the seat before towing the vehicle.
WARNING
Do not start the engine
when towing the vehicle.
WARNING
The front and rear tow hooks
must only be used for emer-
gency situations on the road.
The vehicle may be towed for
short distances when a dedicated de-
vice is used in compliance with the
Highway Code (rigid bar), in order to
move the vehicle on the road in prepa-
ration for towing by a tow truck Tow
hooks MUST NOT be used to tow ve-
hicles off the road or where there are
obstacles and/or for towing operations
using cables or other non-rigid devices.
Respecting the above conditions, tow-
ing must only take place with two ve-
hicles (one towing, the other towed)
travelling as far as possible in alignment
along the same centreline.

IMPORTANT The oil consumption de-
pends on driving style and the conditions
under which the vehicle is used.
IMPORTANT Always top up using engine
oil of the same type as that already in the
engine.
ENGINE OIL fig. 3-4
Engine oil check
Check the oil level a few minutes (about 5)
after the engine has stopped, with the ve-
hicle parked on level ground.
Extract the test rod Aand clean it. Then,
put it back all the way down and extract
it again to check that the level ranges be-
tween the MINand MAXlevels on the
rod. The range between the MINand
MAXlevels corresponds to approxi-
mately 1 litre of oil.
Topping up the engine oil
If the oil level is near or even under the
MINline, add oil through the filler Bto
reach the MAXline.
Oil level must never exceed the MAX
line.
Proceed very carefully inside
the engine compartment
when the engine is hot: risk of burns.
Remember that the electric fan may
start up if the engine is hot: risk of in-
jury. Pay attention to scarves, ties and
other loose fitting garments: they may
be dragged by moving parts.
WARNING
Exhausted engine oil and oil
filter contain substances
which are dangerous for the
environment. For oil and filter
changing, we recommend contacting a
Fiat Dealership.
IMPORTANT If the engine oil level results
above the MAXlevel after the check, go
to the Fiat Dealership for restoring the
correct level.
IMPORTANT After adding or changing
the oil, let the engine turn over for a few
seconds and wait a few minutes after turn-
ing it off before you check the level.
Engine oil consumption
The maximum engine oil consumption is
usually 400 grams every 1000 km.
When the vehicle is new, the engine needs
to be run in. Therefore, the engine oil con-
sumption can only be considered stabilised
after the first 5,000 - 6,000 km.

WHEELS AND TYRES
Check the pressure of each tyre, includ-
ing the spare wheel, approximately once
every two weeks and before starting a
long journey: this check must be per-
formed with the tyre rested and cold.
It is normal for pressure to increase when
the vehicle is used. For the correct tyre
inflation pressure, see “Wheels” in “Tech-
nical specifications” section.
Incorrect pressure causes abnormal tyre
wearfig. 9:
Anormal pressure: evenly worn tread;
Blow pressure: tread particularly worn
on the edges;
Cexcessive pressure: tread particularly
worn in the middle.
The tyres must be replaced when the
tread is less than 1.6 mm thick. In all cas-
es, follow the laws in force in the coun-
try where you are driving.IMPORTANT NOTES
❒Avoid braking suddenly, burning starts
and violent knocks against the curb,
potholes or other obstacles if possible.
Long distances on rough roads may
damage the tyres;
❒check the tyres regularly for cuts on the
sides, swelling or irregular tread wear.
Go to a Fiat Dealership if required.
❒Do not overload your vehicle: this may
cause serious damage to wheels and
tyres;
❒if a tyre is punctured, stop the vehicle
immediately and charge it to avoid dam-
age to the tyre, the rim, suspensions
and steering system;❒a tyre will age even if it is not used
much. Cracks in the tread and on the
sidewalls are a sign of ageing. Have the
tyres checked by specialised personnel
if they have been fitted for longer than
6 years. Remember to check the spare
wheel very carefully.
❒In case of replacement, always fit new
tyres, avoiding those with an unknown
origin.
❒If a tyre is replaced, also change the in-
flation valve.
❒To allow even wear between the front
and rear tyres, it is advisable to change
them every 10-15 thousand kilometres,
keeping them on the same side of the
vehicle so as not to reverse the direc-
tion of rotation.

Windows
Use specific window cleaner products.
Use also clean cloths to avoid scratching
the glass or damaging the transparency.
IMPORTANT Wipe the rear window in-
side gently with a cloth in the direction
of the filaments to avoid damaging the
heating device.Engine compartment
At the end of each winter, thoroughly
wash the engine compartment taking care
not to direct the water jet against the elec-
tronic control units and the relay/fuse con-
trol unit on the left side of the engine com-
partment (running direction). Have this
operation performed at a specialised
workshop.
IMPORTANT Perform this operation on
a cold engine and with the key at STOP.
After the washing operation, make sure
that the various protections (e.g. rubber
caps and guards) have not been removed
or damaged.
Front headlights
IMPORTANT Never use aromatic sub-
stances (e.g.: petrol) or ketenes (e.g.: ace-
tone) for cleaning front headlight plastic
lens. Exterior plastic parts must be cleaned in
the same way as the rest of the vehicle.
Where possible, do not park the vehicle
under trees; the resinous substance re-
leased by many species give the paint a dull
appearance and increase the possibility of
triggering rust processes.
IMPORTANT Bird droppings must be
washed off immediately and thoroughly as
the acid they contain is particularly ag-
gressive.
Detergents cause water pol-
lution. The vehicle should be
washed in areas equipped for
collecting and purifying the
liquid used in the washing process.
