Any electric brake or other device (winch etc.)
should be powered directly by the battery through a
cable with a cross-section of no less than 2.5 mm
2.
In addition to the electrical branches, the car's
electrical system can be connected only to the supply
cable for an electric brake and to the cable for an
internal trailer light, though not more than 15 W. To
connect, use the preset control unit with a battery
cable with cross-section no less than 2.5 mm
2.
IMPORTANT The use of auxiliary loads other than
external lights (electric brake, winch, etc.) must
occur with engine running.
IMPORTANT To install a tow hook contact a Fiat
Dealership.
WARNING
The ABS with which the car may be
equipped will not control the braking
system of the trailer. Particular caution is
required on slippery roads.
WARNING
Never modify the braking system of the
car to control the trailer brake.The
trailer braking system must be fully
independent of the car ’s hydraulic system.INSTALLING A TOW HOOK
The towing device should be fastened to the body by
specialised personnel according to any additional
and/or integrative information supplied by the
Manufacturer of the device.
The towing device must meet current regulations
with reference to Directive 94/20/EC and subsequent
amendments.
For any version the towing device used must be right
for the towable weight of the car on which it is to
be installed.
For the electrical connection a standard connector
should be used which is generally placed on a special
bracket normally fastened to the towing device,
and a special ECU for external trailer light control
must be installed on the car.
7 or 13-pin 12 V DC connections should be used
(CUNA/UNI and ISO/DIN Standards). Follow any
instructions provided by the car manufacturer and/or
the towing device manufacturer.

an auxiliary battery with the same capacity or a
little higher than the flat one.Proceed as follows to start the car:
❒connect the positive terminals (+near the
terminal) of the two batteries with a jump lead
fig. 153;
❒with a second lead, connect the negative terminal
–of the auxiliary battery to an earth point
on
the engine or the gearbox of the car to be started;
❒start the engine;
❒when the engine has been started, remove the
leads reversing the order above.
For versions with Start&Stop system, to carry out
the jump starting procedure, refer to the paragraph
“Start&Stop system” in the “Getting to know your
