Before towing, turn the ignition key to
MAR and then to STOP without extract-
ing it. The steering column will automatically lock
when the key is removed, making it impossible to
turn the wheels.
WARNING
Before tightening the ring, clean the
threaded housing thoroughly. Before tow-
ing the vehicle, make sure that the tow ring is ful-
ly tightened in its appropriate housing.
Never start the engine when the vehicle is being
towed.
WARNING
Remember that, while being towed, you
will need to brake harder because there
will be no assistance from the brake booster. Do
not use bendy cables for towing and avoid jerking.
During towing operations, make sure that the fas-
tened joint does not damage adjoining compo-
nents. When towing the vehicle, comply with the
specific rules of the highway code regarding the
towing device and road conduct. Do not start the
engine while being towed.
WARNING
The front and rear tow hooks should be
used only for emergencies on the road. You
are allowed to tow the car for short dis-
tances using an appropriate device in accordance
with the highway code (a rigid bar), to move the ve-
hicle on the road in readiness for towing or trans-
porting via a breakdown vehicle. Tow hooks MUST
NOT be used to tow vehicles off the road or where
there are obstacles and/or for towing operations us-
ing cables or other non-rigid devices. Respecting the
above conditions, towing must take place with two
vehicles (one towing, the other towed) aligned as
much as possible along the same centre line.

ENGINE OIL fig. 180-181-182-183-184-185
Check the oil level a few minutes after stopping the engine
(about 5 minutes) with the vehicle parked on level ground.
The oil level should be between the MIN and MAX marks
on the dipstick B.
The gap between the MIN and MAX marks corresponds
to about one litre of oil.
If the oil level is near or under the MIN line, add oil through
the filler A until it reaches the MAX line.
The oil level should never exceed the MAX line.
Engine oil consumption
The maximum engine oil consumption is usually 400 grams
every 1,000 km.
The engine needs to run in when the vehicle is new, and
therefore the engine oil consumption can only be consid-
ered stabilised after the first 5,000 – 6,000 km.
IMPORTANT Oil consumption depends on driving style
and conditions of use of the vehicle.
IMPORTANT After adding or changing the oil, let the en-
gine turn over for a few seconds and wait a few minutes
after turning it off before you check the level.

Be very careful working in the engine com-
partment when the engine is hot: you may
get burned. Remember that the fan may start up
if the engine is hot: this could injure you. Make
sure that scarves, ties and other items of loose-fit-
ting clothing do not get caught up in moving com-
ponents.
WARNING
Do not add oil with different characteris-
tics from those of the existing engine oil.
The used engine oil and the replaced oil fil-
ter contain substances that are harmful to
the environment. It is advisable to have oil
and filters changed by a Fiat Dealership, where they
will be disposed of properly and in accordance with
the law.

To wash the vehicle properly, proceed as follows:
❒wash the body using a low-pressure jet of water;
❒use a sponge to wipe a slightly soapy solution over the
bodywork, frequently rinsing the sponge;
❒rinse with plenty of water and dry with a jet of air or
a chamois leather.
Observe the following recommendations for washing the
vehicle in an automatic carwash:
– remove the aerial from the roof so it does not get dam-
aged;
– the car wash should use water added to a soapy solu-
tion;
– rinse thoroughly to avoid soap marks staying on the
bodywork or less visible parts.
Some car washes with old-style blades
and/or in a poor state of repair can dam-
age the paintwork, facilitating the forma-
tion of lines that give the paint a dull/misty ap-
pearance, especially on dark colours. If this hap-
pens, lightly polish the paintwork with appropriate
products.
Dry the less visible parts particularly carefully, such as the
door frames, bonnet and the headlight frames, where wa-
ter may stagnate more easily. It is a good idea to leave
the vehicle outdoors for a while after washing it to give
water time to evaporate.
Do not wash the vehicle after it has been left in the sun or
with the bonnet hot: this may alter the shine of the paint-
work.
Exterior plastic parts should be cleaned in the same way
as the rest of the vehicle. Where possible, do not park the
vehicle under trees; the resinous substances released by
many species give the paint a dull appearance and increase
the possibility of rust.
IMPORTANT Bird droppings should be washed off im-
mediately and thoroughly as the acid they contain is par-
ticularly aggressive.
Detergents cause water pollution. The ve-
hicle should be washed in areas equipped
for collecting and purifying the liquid used
in the washing process.
