IF THE BATTERY IS FLAT
IMPORTANT The battery recharging pro-
cedure is provided as an example only.
You are recommended to go to a Fiat
Dealership to have this operation per-
formed.
We recommend recharging the battery
slowly for approximately 24 hours at low
amperage. A prolonged recharge might
damage the battery.
Charge the battery as follows:
❒disconnect battery negative terminal;
❒connect the charger cables to the bat-
tery terminals, observing the poles;
❒turn on the charger;
❒when you have finished, turn the charg-
er off before disconnecting the battery;
❒reconnect battery negative terminal.Battery fluid is poisonous
and corrosive: avoid contact
with your skin and eyes. The battery
must be recharged in a ventilated
place away from naked flames or
possible sources of sparks to avoid the
risk of explosion and fire.
WARNING
Never attempt to recharge a
frozen battery: defrost it first
to prevent the risk of explosion. If the
battery was frozen, have it inspect-
ed by specialised personnel before
recharging to check that the internal
elements are not damaged and that
the casing is not cracked, which caus-
es the risk of leakage of poisonous,
corrosive gas.
WARNING
IF THE VEHICLE NEEDS
TO BE LIFTED
If the vehicle needs to be lifted, go to a
Fiat Dealership which is equipped with the
arm hoist or workshop lift.

IF THE VEHICLE NEEDS
TO BE TOWED
The tow ring supplied with the vehicle is
positioned in the tool box behind the left-
hand side backrest (on Cargo versions) or
in the boot (on Combi versions).
HOOKING THE TOW
HOOK fig. 54-55
Proceed as follows:
❒release the cap A;
❒take the tow hook Bfrom the tool box;
❒tighten the hook on the rear or front
threaded pin.
fig. 54F0T0085m
fig. 55F0T0086m
Before starting towing oper-
ations, turn the ignition key
to MAR and then to STOP, without
extracting it. If the key is extracted,
the steering wheel lock will be auto-
matically activated, thus preventing
steering.
WARNING
During towing operations the
brake booster is not engaged.
Therefore, a heavier effort must be
made on the pedal. Do not use wires for
towing. Do not jerk. During towing op-
erations make sure not to damage parts
in contact with the vehicle. When tow-
ing the vehicle comply with the specific
rules of the Highway Code regarding the
towing device and the behaviour to
maintain on the road. Do not start the
engine while towing the vehicle.
WARNING
Clean the threaded seat care-
fully before fastening the ring.
Make sure that the ring is fully fastened
in the seat before towing the vehicle.
WARNING
Do not start the engine
when towing the vehicle.
WARNING
The front and rear tow hooks
must only be used for emer-
gency situations on the road.
The vehicle may be towed for
short distances when a dedicated de-
vice is used in compliance with the
Highway Code (rigid bar), in order to
move the vehicle on the road in prepa-
ration for towing by a tow truck Tow
hooks MUST NOT be used to tow ve-
hicles off the road or where there are
obstacles and/or for towing operations
using cables or other non-rigid devices.
Respecting the above conditions, tow-
ing must only take place with two ve-
hicles (one towing, the other towed)
travelling as far as possible in alignment
along the same centreline.

SCHEDULED SERVICING
Correct servicing is essential for ensur-
ing long vehicle life under the best condi-
tions.
This is why Fiat has planned a series of
checks and maintenance operations every
30,000 km.
Scheduled servicing will not however ful-
ly cover all of the needs of your vehicle.
Even before carrying out the 30,000 km
service coupon, and later between one
consecutive coupons, ordinary vehicle
care is still required such as for example
routine checks to top up the fluid levels,
if necessary, tyre pressure checks, etc.IMPORTANT Scheduled service coupons
are required by the manufacturer. Non-
performance of service coupons may
cause the warranty to become null and
void.
Scheduled Servicing is performed by all Fi-
at Dealerships at pre-established times.
If during scheduled servicing, the need aris-
es for further replacements or repairs,
these may be carried out exclusively af-
ter obtaining the explicit agreement from
the Customer.IMPORTANT You are advised to contact
the Fiat Dealership in the event of any mi-
nor operating faults, without waiting for
the next service coupon.
If your vehicle is used frequently for tow-
ing, the interval between service coupons
must be reduced.
