2014 FIAT PANDA tow

WARNING
Whilst towing, remember that as the
assistance of the brake servo and the
electric power assisted steering is not available,
greater force needs to be exerted on the brake
pedal and more effort is required on the
steering wheel. Do not use flexible cables when
towing and avoid jerky movements. During
towing, make sure that the trailer hitch does not
damage any components it is touching.When
towing the car, it is compulsor y to respect
specific highway code regulations relating to
the tow hook and procedures for towing on the
road. Do not star t the engine while towing
the car.
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
distances using an appropriate device
in accordance with the highway code (a rigid
bar), to move the vehicle on the road in
readiness for towing or transporting 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
using cables or other non-rigid devices.
Respecting the above conditions, towing must
take place with the two vehicles (one towing,
the other towed) aligned as much as possible
along the same centre line.
WARNING
Do not use tow hooks for securing the
vehicle on ships.

SERVICING AND MAINTENANCE
SCHEDULED SERVICINGCorrect servicing is essential in guaranteeing a long
life for the car under the best conditions.
Fiat has therefore arranged a series of checks and
service operations to be carried out every 30,000
kilometres (for petrol versions) or every 35,000
kilometres (for diesel versions).
Check the items on the Scheduled Servicing Plan
(e.g. periodically check level of liquids, tyre pressure,
etc.) before 30,000/35,000 km and between these
services deadlines.
Scheduled Servicing is offered by all Fiat Dealerships
according to a set time schedule. If, during each
operation, in addition to the ones scheduled, the
need arises for further replacements or repairs,these may be carried out only with the explicit
agreement of the Customer. If your car is
used frequently for towing, the interval between one
service operation and the next should be reduced.
WARNING
At 2,000 km from the next service operation the
display will show a message.
The Scheduled Services intervals are set out by the
Manufacturer. Failure to have them carried out
may invalidate the warranty.
It is advisable to inform a Fiat Dealership of any small
operating irregularities without waiting for the next
service.
