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 ABS system with which
the car may be fitted does
not control the trailer braking system.
Drive with extreme care on slippery
roadbeds.
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
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.

ABS SYSTEM FAILURE
(amber)
When the ignition key is moved to MAR,
the warning light turns on and should go
off after a few seconds.
The warning light lights up when the sys-
tem is either not working or not available.
In this case, the braking system preserves
its efficiency unaltered without, howev-
er, offering the extra operating capacity of
the ABS system. Drive carefully and go to
a Fiat Dealership as soon as possible.
On certain versions the dedicated mes-
sage is displayed.
EBD SYSTEM
FAILURE
(red) (amber)
Simultaneous turning on of the warning
lights
xwhile >the engine is running
indicates an EBD system failure or non-
availability of the system. Early locking of
the rear wheels may occur in the event of
violent braking causing the vehicle to
swerve.
Drive very carefully to a Fiat Dealership
to have the system inspected.
On certain versions the dedicated mes-
sage is displayed.

(only Multijet versions with DPF - red)
When the ignition key is turned to MAR
(ON), the warning light switches on and
should go out as soon as the engine is
started.
1. Low engine oil pressure
The warning light turns on and stays on
constantly (for versions/markets, where
provided) along with the message on the
display when the system detects that en-
gine oil pressure is low.ESP / TRACTION PLUS
SYSTEM FAILURE
(amber)
Turning the ignition key to MARthe
warning light turns on, but it should go off
after few seconds.
If the warning light does not go off or stays
on when travelling together with the but-
ton led ASR OFF, contact Fiat Dealership.
On certain versions the dedicated mes-
sage is displayed.
NoteWarning light flashing when driving
indicates that the ESP system is active.
áIf the warning light vturns on when the vehicle is
travelling (on certain versions to-
gether with the message on the dis-
play) stop the engine immediately
and contact a Fiat Dealership.
WARNING
2. Exhausted engine oil
(only Multijet versions with DPF)
The warning light will flash and a specific
message will appear on the display (for
versions/markets, where provided). The
warning light may flash in the following
ways, depending on the version:
– for 1 minute every two hours;
– for 3 minute cycles with the warning
light off for intervals of 5 seconds until oil
is changed.
After the initial warning, each time the en-
gine is started up, the warning light will
continue to flash in the above mentioned
modes, until the oil is changed. A specific
message will appear on the display (for
versions/markets, where provided) in ad-
dition to the warning light.
If the warning light flashes, this does not
mean that the car is defective but simply
informs the driver that it is now necessary
to change the oil as a result of regular ve-
hicle use.

BRAKE FLUID
Release cap A-fig. 7. Check that the liq-
uid contained in the tank is at the maxi-
mum level.
Fluid level in the reservoir must not ex-
ceed the MAXmark.
Use the brake fluid shown in the “Fluids
and lubricants” table (see section “Tech-
nical Specifications”). When opening the
cap A, make sure that no dirt gets into the
reservoir.For topping up always use a funnel with
built-in filter (mesh smaller than or equal
to 0.12 mm).
IMPORTANT Brake fluid absorbs mois-
ture. For this reason, if the vehicle is main-
ly used in areas with a high degree of at-
mospheric humidity, the fluid should be
replaced at more frequent intervals than
specified in the “Scheduled servicing plan”.
Do not travel with the wind-
screen washing reservoir
empty: the action of the windscreen
washer is essential for improving vis-
ibility.
WARNING
Some commercial additives
for windscreen washing are
flammable. The engine compartment
contains hot parts which could start
a fire if they come into contact.
WARNINGfig. 7F0T0080m
Prevent brake fluid which is
highly corrosive from coming
into contact with painted
parts. Should that occur, im-
mediately wash with water.

AND CARE
Batteries contain substances
that can be very dangerous
for the environment. It is ad-
visable to have the battery re-
placed by a Fiat Dealership where it
will be disposed of according to the
law.
Whenever an operation on
the battery or near it is re-
quired, always protect your eyes with
special goggles.
WARNING
If the vehicle remains unused
for a long time at very low
temperatures, remove the
battery and take it to a warm
place to avoid freezing.
USEFUL ADVICE
TO EXTEND THE LIFE OF YOUR
BATTERY
To avoid draining your battery and make
its life longer, observe the following indi-
cations:
❒when you park the vehicle, ensure the
doors, tailgate and bonnet are closed
properly;
❒switch off all lights inside the vehicle: the
vehicle is however equipped with a sys-
tem which switches all internal lights off
automatically;
❒do not keep accessories (e.g. sound sys-
tem, emergnecy lights, etc.) switched
on for a long time when the engine is
not running;
❒before performing any operation on the
electrical system, disconnect the bat-
tery negative cable;
❒battery terminals shall always be per-
fectly tightened.The battery is also more prone to the risk
of freezing (e.g. already at –10°C). Refer
to the paragraph “Vehicle inactivity” in
“Starting and driving” if the vehicle is left
parked for a long time.
If, after buying the vehicle, you want to in-
stall electric accessories which require
permanent electric supply (alarm, etc.)
contact the Fiat Dealership whose quali-
fied personnel, in addition to suggesting
the most suitable devices, will evaluate the
overall electric absorption, checking
whether the vehicle electric system is ca-
pable of withstanding the load required,
or whether it should be integrated with
a more powerful battery.
Since these devices continue absorbing en-
ergy even when the ignition key is off, they
gradually run down the battery.
