Before towing, switch off the steering lock
(see “Ignition” in the “Dashboard and con-
trols” section). The brake booster and power
steering will not work while the vehicle is being
towed. You will therefore need to apply more
force to the brake pedal and steering wheel. Do
not use bendy cables for towing and avoid jerking.
Make sure not to damage parts in contact with
the car while towing. Respect the rules of the high-
way code when towing the car, specifically in re-
lation to the towing device and road conduct.
WARNING
The front and rear tow hooks should be
used only for emergency operations on the
road. You are allowed to tow the car for short dis-
tances using an appropriate device in accordance
with the highway code (a rigid bar), to move the
vehicle on the road in readiness for towing or
transporting via a breakdown vehicle. Tow hooks
MUST NOT be used to tow vehicles off the road
or where there are obstacles and/or for towing op-
erations using cables or other non-rigid devices.
Respecting the above conditions, towing must
take place with the two vehicles (one towing, the
other towed) aligned as much as possible along
the same centre line.

ENGINE OIL fig. 204-205-206-207
Check the oil level a few minutes (about 5) after the en-
gine has stopped, with the car parked on level ground.
The oil level should be between the MIN and MAX marks
on the dipstick B.
The gap between the MIN and MAX marks corresponds
to about 1 litre of oil.
If the oil level is near or under the MIN line, add oil through
the filler A until it reaches the MAX line.
The oil level should never exceed the MAX line.

ENGINE OIL CONSUMPTION
The maximum engine oil consumption is usually 400 grams
every 1,000 km.
During the initial period of usage for the vehicle, the en-
gine is bedding in, therefore the engine oil consumption
may settle down only after the first 5,000 – 6,000 km.

ARRANGEMENTS FOR DEALING WITH THE VEHICLE AT THE END OF ITS LIFE
Fiat has been committed for many years to safeguarding the environment through the constant improvement of its production
processes and manufacturing products that are increasingly “eco-compatible”.
To give customers the best possible service in terms of respecting environmental laws and in response to European Directive
2000/53/EC governing vehicles at the end of their life, Fiat is offering its customers the opportunity of handing over their
vehicle* at the end of its life without incurring any additional costs.
The European Directive sets out that when the vehicle is handed over the last keeper or owner should not incur any expenses
as a result of it having a zero or negative market value.
In all European Union countries, until 1st January 2007, only vehicles registered after 1st July 2002 were collected free of
charge, while since 2007 collection has been free of charge irrespective of the year of registration as long as the vehicle
contains its basic components (in particular, the engine and bodywork) and has no additional waste.
To hand your vehicle over at the end of its life without extra cost, go to one of our Dealerships or Fiat-authorised collection
and scrapping centres.
These centres have been carefully chosen to offer high quality service for the collection, treatment and recycling of unused
vehicles with respect to the environment.
You can find further information on these collection and scrapping centres either from a Fiat or Fiat Commercial Vehicle
Dealership or by calling the freephone number 00800 3428 0000 or by going on the Fiat website.
