RAISING THE VEHICLE
If the vehicle needs to be lifted, go to a Fiat Dealership
which is equipped with arm hoists or workshop lifts.
The vehicle must only be raised laterally by placing the
ends of the arms or workshop lift in the areas shown in
fig. 211.
Do not start the engine whilst the
vehicle is being towed.
WARNING
Before towing, switch off the steering lock
(see „Starting device“ paragraph under the
„Dashboard and controls“ chapter). The brake
servo and power steering will not work while the
vehicle is being towed. More effort on the brake
pedal and steering wheel will therefore be
required. Do not use flexible cables when towing
and avoid jerky movements. During towing
operations, make sure that the fastened joint does
not damage adjoining components. When towing
the vehicle comply with the specific rules of the
Highway Code regarding both the towing device
and the behaviour to maintain on the road.
WARNING
TOWING THE VEHICLE
The vehicle is equipped with two rings for attaching the
tow hook.
The front ring is located in the tool box beneath the
passenger side seat. On versions with Fix&Go kit and
without spare wheel, the tool box is available only on
request for versions/markets where provided. In the
absence of the tool box the vehicle tow hook is housed
in the on-board documentation container, together with
the Owner Handbook.

DEMANDING VEHICLE USE
If the vehicle is mostly used in one of the following
conditions:
❒trailer or caravan towing;
❒dusty roads;
❒short distances (less than 7-8 km) and with external
temperatures below zero;
❒frequently idling engine or long distance low speed
driving or in the case of long term inactivity;
the following checks must be carried out more often
than indicated in the Scheduled Servicing Plan:
❒check front disc brake pad conditions and wear;
❒check cleanliness of bonnet and boot locks and lever
cleanliness and lubrication;
❒visually inspect the conditions of: engine, gearbox,
transmission, pipes and tubes (exhaust – fuel
– brakes), rubber parts (boots, sleeves, bushes, etc.);
❒check battery charge and liquid level (electrolyte);
❒visual check on various drive belt conditions;
❒check and if necessary change engine oil and oil filter.
PERIODIC CHECKS
Before long journeys, check and, if necessary, restore:
❒engine coolant fluid level;
❒brake fluid level;
❒windscreen washer fluid level;
❒tyre pressure and conditions;
❒operation of lights (headlights, direction indicators,
hazard lights, etc.);
❒operation of the windscreen wiper/washer system,
position and wear of the windscreen and rear
window wiper blades.
To ensure that the vehicle is always efficient and well
maintained, it is advisable to make sure that you carry
out the above operations regularly (approximately
every 1000 km and every 3000 km for checking and
topping up engine oil is advisable).

POWER STEERING FLUID fig. 227-228
Check that the liquid contained in the tank is at the
maximum level. This operation must be carried out with
the vehicle level and with the engine off and cold. Check
that the fluid level is up to the MAX mark on the
dipstick attached to the fuel cap (use the level shown on
the 20°C side of the dipstick to check when cold).
If the level of the fluid in the tank is lower than the
specified level, top up using only one of the products
indicated in the “Fluid and lubricants” table in the
“Technical specifications” section, proceeding as follows:
❒Start the engine and wait for the level of fluid in the
tank to stabilise.
❒With the engine running, turn the steering wheel
from right to left fully, several times.

Power steering fluid consumption is very
low. If the fluid needs topping up a short
time after the last top-up, have the
system checked by a Fiat Dealership to ensure
there are no leaks.
Do not press the power steering end of
travel lock for longer than 8 consecutive
seconds with the engine running because
it will cause noise and risk damaging the system.
❒Top up the fuel to the MAX level and then retighten
the cap.
Prevent power steering fluid from
coming into contact with hot engine
parts: the liquid is flammable.
