WARNING
Before towing, turn the ignition key to
MAR-ON and then to STOP without
removing it .The steering column will
automatically lock when the key is removed
and the wheels cannot be steered.
WARNING
Whilst towing, remember that as the
assistance of the brake servo and
the electric power steering is not available,
greater force needs to be exerted on the brake
pedal and more effort is required on the
steering wheel. Do not use flexible cables when
towing and avoid jerky movements. During
towing, make sure that the trailer hitch does
not damage any components it is touching.
When towing the car, it is compulsor y to
respect specific highway code regulations
relating to the tow hook and procedures for
towing on the road.

ENGINE OIL
Engine oil level check fig. 203-fig. 204-fig. 205
fig. 206
Check the oil level a few minutes (about five) after
the engine has stopped, with the vehicle parked
on level ground.
Take out engine oil dipstick A, clean it and then
fully reinsert it, take it out and check that the level
is between the MIN and MAX marks on the
dipstick.
The range between the MIN and MAX marks
corresponds to approximately 1 litre of oil.
Topping up the engine oil
If the level of the oil is close to or below the MIN
mark, add oil via the filler fitting B until the MAX
mark is reached.IMPORTANT If the engine oil level after the check
is over the MAX level, go to a Fiat Dealership to
have the correct level restored.

other type of fluid. If this happens, do not start
the engine; contact a Fiat Dealership.
WARNING
Do not remove the reservoir cap when
the engine is very hot as there is a
risk of scalding.The cooling system is
pressurised. If the cap needs replacing, do so
with another original or the effectiveness
of the system may be compromised.
WASHER FLUID FOR WINDSCREEN/REAR

BATTERYThe car is fitted with a low-maintenance battery: no
top-ups with distilled water are needed in standard
conditions of use. It does, however, need to be
checked periodically at a Fiat Dealership or by
specialist personnel to make sure it is working
correctly.
WARNING
Battery liquid is poisonous and
corrosive. Avoid contact with the skin
and eyes. Keep naked flames and sources of
sparks away from the battery: risk of
explosion and fire.
WARNING
Using the battery with insufficient fluid
irreparably damages the battery and
may cause an explosion.
REPLACING THE BATTERY
If required, replace the battery with an original
spare part with the same specifications. If a battery
with different specifications is fitted, the service
intervals given in the “Scheduled Servicing Plan” will
no longer be valid. Follow the battery
manufacturer's instructions for maintenance.
Incorrect installation of electric and
electronic devices may cause severe
damage to your car. After purchasing
your car, if you wish to install any accessories
(anti-theft , car phone, etc .), contact a Fiat
Dealership, which will suggest the most
appropriate devices for your vehicle, and will,
most importantly, advise you if a higher
capacity batter y needs to be installed.Batteries contain substances which are
ver y dangerous for the environment .
To replace the battery, we recommend
contacting a Fiat Dealership to dispose of your
old battery in full respect of the environment
and in compliance with all applicable laws and
regulations.
WARNING
If the car will be unused for an
extended period of time in extremely
cold weather conditions, remove the battery
and store it in a heated area to avoid it
freezing.
WARNING
Always wear appropriate goggles when
working on or near the battery.
