The daytime running
lights are an alternative
to the dipped beam headlights
for driving during the daytime in
countries where it is compulso-
ry to have lights on during the
day, and they are also permitted
in those countries where this
not obligatory. Daytime running
lights cannot replace dipped
headlights when driving at night

INSTALLING THE TOW HOOK
The towing device should be fastened to
the body by specialised personnel in ac-
cordance with any additional information
supplied by the manufacturer of the device.
The towing device must meet current reg-
ulations with reference to Directive
94/20/EC and subsequent amendments.
For any version the towing device used
must be right for the towable weight of
the car on which it is to be installed.
For the electric connection a unified con-
nector should be used, which is generally
placed on a special bracket fastened to the
towing device, and a special ECU should
be installed on the car to control the trail-
er’s exterior lights.
Seven- or 13-pin 12VDC connections
should be used (CUNA/UNI and ISO/DIN
Standards). Follow any instructions pro-
vided by the car manufacturer and/or the
towing device manufacturer.An electric brake or winch should be pow-
ered directly by the battery through a ca-
ble with a cross-section of no less than
2.5 mm
2.
IMPORTANT The engine must be running
to use the electric brake or winch.
In addition to the electrical appliances, the
car’s electrical system may be connected
only to the supply cable for an electric
brake and the cable for a light inside the
trailer with a wattage of no more than
15 W.
For connections, use the preset control
unit with a battery cable no less than
2.5 mm
2. Respect each country’s specific speed lim-
its for vehicles towing trailers. The top
speed must not exceed 100 km/h at any
time.
You should fit a suitable stabiliser to the
trailer.
The ABS with which the car
may be equipped will not
control the braking system of the
trailer. Particular caution is therefore
required on slippery roads.
WARNING
Never modify the braking
system of the car to control
the trailer brake. The trailer braking
system must be fully independent
from the hydraulic system of the car.

– FIAT CODE
(amber)
When turning the key to MAR, the warn-
ing light should flash once and then go out.
If, with the ignition key at MAR, the warn-
ing light stays on, this indicates a possible
failure (see “Fiat Code system” in the
“Dashboard and controls” section).
IMPORTANT If the warning lights
Uand
Yare on at the same time, it indicates
a failure of the Fiat Code system.
If the warning light
Yflashes when the
engine is running, this means that the car
is not protected by the engine immobilis-
er device (see “Fiat Code system” in the
“Dashboard and controls” section).
Contact a Fiat Dealership to have all the
keys stored.
