Perform these adjustments
only when the vehicle is sta-
tionary and the engine is not running.
WARNING
Under no circumstances
should aftermarket opera-
tions involving steering system or
steering column modifications (e.g.:
installation of anti-theft device) be
carried out that could badly affect
performance and safety. This also
causes the warranty to become null
and void and results in vehicle non-
compliance with type-approval re-
quirements.
WARNING

sition can be adjusted both axially and in
height.

TOWING TRAILERS
IMPORTANT NOTES
The vehicle must be provided with a type-
approved tow hitch and adequate electri-
cal system to tow caravans or trailers. In-
stallation must be performed by specialised
personnel who will issue the required pa-
pers for travelling on roads.
Install any specific and/or additional rear-
view mirrors as specified by law.
Remember that when towing a trailer,
steep hills are harder to climb, the braking
spaces increase and overtaking takes longer
depending on the overall weight of the trail-
er.
Engage a low gear when driving downhill,
rather than constantly using the brake.
The weight of the trailer on the vehicle tow
hitch will reduce the loading capacity of the
vehicle by the same amount.
Consider the weight of the vehicle at full
load, including accessories and luggage to
make sure you do not exceed the maxi-
mum towable weight (shown on the reg-
istration certificate).Respect the speed limits specific for each
country for vehicles towing trailers. In all
cases, the top speed must not exceed 80
km/h.
The ABS with which the ve-
hicle may be equipped will
not control the braking system of the
trailer. Particular caution is required
on slippery roads.
WARNING
Never modify the braking
system of the vehicle to con-
trol the trailer brake. The trailer brak-
ing system must be fully independent
from the hydraulic system of the ve-
hicle.
WARNING
SNOW TYRES
Use snow tyres type 185/65 R15 only (see
paragraph “Tyres” in section “Technical
specifications”).
The Fiat Dealership will be happy to pro-
vide advice concerning the most suitable
type of tyre for customer’s requirements.
For the type of snow tyre to be used, in-
flation pressures and specifications, follow
the instructions given in paragraph “Tyres”
in section “Technical specifications”.
The winter performance of these tyres is
considerably reduced when the tread thick-
ness is less than 4 mm. Replace them in this
case.
Due to their specific features, the perfor-
mance of snow tyres is much lower than
that of standard tyres in normal conditions
or long motorway stretches. Use them ex-
clusively according to the performance
levels for which they were type-approved.
IMPORTANT When snow tyres are used
with a max speed index below the one
that can be reached by the vehicle (in-
creased by 5%), place a notice in the pas-
senger compartment, plainly in the driver’s
view, which states the max permissible
speed for snow tyres (as per EC Direc-
tive).
