CORRECT USE
OF THE CAR
Do not exceed the speed limits of the
country you are driving in. In any case do
not exceed 100 km/h.
The ABS system with which
the car may be fitted does
not control the trailer braking system.
Great care should therefore be taken
when driving on slippery road sur-
faces.
Under no circumstances
should the vehicle brake sys-
tem be altered to control the trailer
brake. The trailer braking system
must be fully independent of the ve-
hicle’s hydraulic system.
WARNING
WARNING
INSTALLING THE TOW HOOK
The towing device should be fastened to
the body by specialised personnel ac-
cording to any additional and/or integra-
tive information supplied by the Manufac-
turer of the device.
The towing device must meet current reg-
ulations with reference to 94/20/EC Di-
rective and subsequent amendments.
For any version the towing device used
must match the towable weight of the ve-
hicle on which it is to be installed.
For the electric connection a unified con-
nector should be used which is generally
placed on a special bracket normally fas-
tened to the towing device, and a special
ECU for external trailer light control shall
be installed on the car. For the electrical connection 7 or 13 pins
12VDC connection is to be used (CU-
NA/UNI and ISO/DIN Standards). Follow
the instructions provided by the car man-
ufacturer and/or the tow hitch manufac-
turer.
An electric brake should be supplied di-
rectly by the battery through a cable with
a cross section of no less than 2.5 mm
2.
IMPORTANT Electric brake or other de-
vice shall be used with running engine.
In addition to the electrical branches, the
car’s electric system can only be con-
nected to the supply cable for an electric
brake and to the cable for an internal light,
though not above 15W.
For connections use a preset control unit
with battery cable no less than 2.5 mm
2.

WHEN NEEDING TO
CHANGE A BULB
GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
❒When a light is not working, check
that it has not fused before changing
the bulb. For the location of the fuses,
refer to “If a fuse blows” in this chap-
ter;
❒Before replacing a bulb that does not
work, check that the contacts are not
oxidised;
❒Burnt bulbs must be replaced by oth-
ers of the same type and power;
❒Always check the height of the head-
light beam after changing a bulb. For versions with alloy rims
❒Make sure that hub contact surfaces
are clean;
❒Refit the standard wheel fitting it on
the pins, refit the fastening bolts and
tighten them using the wrench pro-
vided;
❒Lower the car and remove the jack;
❒Using the wrench provided, tighten
the bolts in the sequence shown pre-
viously for the space-saver spare
wheel fig. 16;
❒Refit the snap-fitted wheel hub cap.
When you have finished
❒Stow the spare wheel C-fig. 11in the
space provided in the boot;
❒Insert the jack partially open in its con-
tainer B-fig. 11forcing it lightly to
prevent it from vibrating when trav-
elling;
❒Put the tools back into their places in
the container;
❒Stow the container complete with
tools on the spare wheel and secure
everything with the clamping device
A-fig. 11;
❒Correctly re-position the stiff cover.
Modifications or repairs to
the electrical system carried
out incorrectly and without bearing
the features of the system in mind can
cause malfunctions with the risk of
fire.
WARNING
Halogen bulbs contain pres-
surised gas which, if broken,
may cause small fragments of glass to
be projected outwards.
WARNING
Only touch the metal part
when handling halogen bulbs.
If the transparent bulb is
touched it reduces the intesi-
ty of the light emitted and can also re-
duce the life of the bulb. If you touch
the bulb accidentally, rub it with a
cloth moistened with alcohol and leave
it to dry.
IMPORTANT The headlight inner surface
may be lightly misted over: this is not a
fault but a natural fact due to low tem-
perature and the level of air humidity. It
will disappear as soon the headlights are
turned on. The presence of drops inside
the headlights means water infiltration,
therefore contact Fiat Dealership.
