Do not start the engine
when towing the vehicle.
WARNING
Before screwing the drawbar
eye, carefully clean the rela-
tive threaded part. Before starting to
tow the vehicle, take care also to
have completely tightened the draw-
bar eye onto the threaded pin.
WARNING
Before starting to tow, disen-
gage the steering lock (see
paragraph “Ignition device” in section
“Dashboard and controls”).
When towing, remember that without
the help of the brake booster and
power steering, a greater effort is re-
quired on the pedal and steering
wheel. Do not use flexible cables for
towing and avoid jerks. During tow-
ing operations make sure that fasten-
ing the joint to the vehicle does not
damage the components in contact
with it. When towing the vehicle, you
must comply with the specific traffic
regulations regarding the tow ring and
how to tow on the road.
WARNING
fig. 27F0P0608m
TOWING THE VEHICLE
The tow ring provided with the vehicle is
housed in the engine compartment as
shown in fig. 26.
TOW RING HOOKING
Proceed as follows:
❒open the bonnet and release the tow
ring A-fig. 26from its seat;
❒take away the front or rear door B-
fig. 27using the supplied screwdriver;
❒completely undo the drawbar eye on
the relative threaded pin.

Never smoke while working

When topping up take care
not to confuse the various
types of fluids: they are all in-

MAINTENANCE
Make sure that the highly
corrosive brake fluid does not
drip onto the paintwork; if it
does, wash it off immediate-
ly with water.
Brake fluid is poisonous and
highly corrosive. In the event
of accidental contact, wash the parts
involved immediately with neutral
soap and water, then rinse thor-
oughly. Call the doctor immediately
if the fluid is swallowed.
WARNING
The symbol πon the con-
tainer indicates synthetic
brake fluid, distinguishing it from the
mineral kind. Using mineral fluids ir-
reversibly damages the special brak-
ing system rubber seals.
WARNING
POWER STEERING FLUID
With the vehicle on level ground, engine not
running and cold, check whether the oil lev-
el in the tank is between the MINand
MAXmarks on the tank fig 9 andfig. 10.
If oil is hot the level can also exceed the
MAXmark.
If required, top up with oil having the same
characteristics of the oil present in the sys-
tem.
fig. 9 - 90 Multijet versionsF0P0150mfig. 10 - 120 Multijet
and 140 Multijet versionsF0P0151m
Power steering oil consump-
tion is extremely low. If the
fluid level needs topping up
again after a short period of
time, have the system checked for leak-
age at a Fiat Dealership.
Do not allow the power
steering fluid to touch the
hot parts of the engine: it is inflam-
mable.
WARNING
For the van outfitting it is
recommended to replace the
brakes liquid every two years.

WHEELS AND TYRES
Check the pressure of each tyre, includ-
ing the spare, every two weeks and before
long journeys. The pressure should be
checked with the tyre rested and cold.
It is normal for pressure to rise when you
are driving. For the correct tyre inflation
pressure, see “Wheels” in section “Tech-
nical specifications”.
Incorrect pressure causes abnormal tyre
wearfig. 12:
Anormal pressure: tread evenly worn.
Blow pressure: tread particularly worn
at the edges.
Chigh pressure: tread particularly worn
in the centre.
Tyres must be replaced when the tread
wears down to 1.6 mm. In any case, com-
ply with the laws in the country where the
vehicle is being driven.
fig. 12F0P0191m
IMPORTANT NOTES
❒As far as possible, avoid sharp braking
and screech starts etc. Be careful not
to hit the kerb, potholes or other ob-
stacles hard. Driving for long stretch-
es over bumpy roads can damage the
tyres;
❒periodically check that the tyres have
no cuts in the side wall, abnormal
swelling or irregular tyre wear. If any of
these occur, have the vehicle seen to at
a Fiat Dealership;
❒avoid overloading the vehicle when
travelling: this may cause serious dam-
age to the 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;
❒tyres age even if they are not used
much. Cracks in the tread rubber are
a sign of ageing. In any case, if the tyres
have been on the vehicle for over 6
years, they should be checked by spe-
cialised personnel, to see if they can still
be used. Also remember to check the
spare wheel;
❒ 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 10-15 thousand kilo-
metres, keeping them on the same side
of the vehicle so as to not reverse the
direction of rotation.
Remember that road holding
depends also on the correct
tyre inflating pressure.
