Before fastening the tow
hitch clean the threaded
housing accurately. Be-
fore starting to tow, make sure
the tow hitch is well fastened on
the threaded pin.While the vehicle is be-
ing towed with the engine
off, remember that the
brake pedal and steering will re-
quire more effort as you no
longer have the benefit of the
power brakes and power steer-
ing. Do not use flexible cables to
tow. Avoid jerking. Whilst tow-
ing, ensure that the coupling to
the vehicle does not damage the
surrounding components.IMPORTANTFor versions with
automatic gearbox, make sure the
gear is in neutral position (N) and pro-
ceed as described for vehicles with
mechanical gearbox. If the gear cannot
be put in neutral position (N) do not
tow the vehicle and contact a Fiat
Dealership.
Before starting to tow,
turn the ignition key to M
and then to S. Do not re-
move the key. If the key is re-
moved, the steering lock engages
automatically which prevents the
wheels being turned.
When towing the vehi-
cle, you must comply
with the specific traffic
regulations regarding the tow
hitch and how to tow on the
road.
Do not start the engine
when being towed.

IN AN EMERGENCY

IF AN ACCIDENT OCCURS
– It is important to keep calm.
– If you are not directly involved in
the accident, stop at least ten meters
away from the accident.
– If you are on a motorway do not
obstruct the emergency lane with
your car.
– Turn off the engine and turn on the
hazard lights.
– At night, illuminate the scene of the
accident with your headlights.
– Act carefully, you must not risk be-
ing run over.
– Mark the accident by putting the
red triangle at the regulatory distance
from the car where it can be clearly
seen.
– Call for rescue making the infor-
mation you give as accurate as you can.
One the motorway use the special col-
umn-mounted emergency phones.– In pile-ups on the motorway, par-
ticularly when visibility is bad, there is
a high risk of other vehicles running in-
to those already stopped. Get out of
the car immediately and take refuge
behind the guard-rail.
– Remove the ignition keys from the
vehicles involved.
– If you can smell petrol or other
chemicals, do not smoke and make
sure all cigarettes are extinguished.
– Use a fire extinguisher, blanket, sand
or earth to put out fires no matter how
small they are. Never use water.
– If the doors are blocked, do not at-
tempt to smash the windscreen to get
out of the car. It is made of layered
glass and is very hard. Side and rear
window are much more easily broken.IF ANYONE IS INJURED
– Never leave the injured person
alone. The obligation to provide as-
sistance exists even for those not di-
rectly involved in the accident.
– Do not congregate around the in-
jured person.
– Reassure the injured person that
help is on its way and will arrive soon.
Stay close by to calm him/her down in
case of panic.
– Unfasten or cut seat belts holding
injured parties.
– Do not give an injured person any-
thing to drink.
– Do not move an injured person un-
less the following situations arise.
– Pull the injured person from the
car only if it risks catching fire, it is
sinking in water or is likely to fall over
a cliff or similar. Do not pull his/her
arms or legs, do not bend the head
and, as far as possible, keep the body
horizontal.
