FASTENING THE TOW
RING fig. 33
Proceed as follows:

release the cap A;
take the tow hook Bfrom the sup-
port;
tighten the ring on the rear or front
threaded pin.
The power brakes and pow-
er steering will not work while
the car is being towed. More effort on
the
brake pedal and steering wheel will
therefore be required. Do not use wires
for towing. Do not jerk. Make sure not
to damage parts in contact with the
car while towing. Respect the specific
rules of the Highway Code when tow-
ing the car specifically in relation to
the towing device and the behaviour
to maintain on the road.
WARNING
fig. 33F0R0131m
Do not start the engine while
towing the car.
WARNING
Clean the threaded seat
carefully before fastening
the ring . Make sure that the ring is
fully fastened in the seat before tow-
ing the car.
WARNING
Release the steering wheel
lock before towing (see “Ig-
nition device” in “Dashboard and con-
trols”). The power brakes and power
steering will not work while the car is
being towed. More effort on the brake
pedal and steering wheel will therefore
be required. Do not use wires for tow-
ing. Do not jerk. Make sure not to
damage parts in contact with the car
while towing. Respect the specific rules
of the Highway Code when towing the
car specifically in relation to the tow-
ing device and the behaviour to main-
tain on the road.

WHEELS AND TYRES
Check the pressure of each tyre, includ-
ing the spare, approximately once every
two weeks and before starting a long jour-
ney: this check must be performed with
the tyre rested and cold.
It is normal for pressure to increase when
the car is used. For the correct tyre in-
flation 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.
fig. 9F0R0141m
IMPORTANT NOTES
Avoid braking suddenly, burning starts
and violent knocks against the curb,
potholes or other obstacles if possible.
Long dista nces 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 over load your car : this may
cause serious damage to wheels and
tyres;
if a tyre is punctured, stop immediate-
ly and charge it to avoid damage 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 the case of replacement, always fit
new tyres, avoiding those of dubious
origin;
If a tyre is changed, also change the in-
flation valve;
to allow even wear between the front
and rear tyres, it is advisable to change
them over every 20 thousand kilome-
tres, keeping them on the same side of
the car so as not to reverse the dire-
ction of rotation.
Remember that the road
holding qualities of your car
also depends on the correct inflation
pressure of the tyres.
