RAISING THE CARIf the car needs to be lifted, go to a Fiat
Dealership which is equipped with the arm
hoist or workshop lift.
The car should be lifted side-on only, by
putting the ends of the arms or the work-
shop lifting device in the areas shown in
the diagram.
IMPORTANT For the Sport versions, take
care not to damage the side skirts when
raising the car side-on with the workshop
lifting device.
TOWING THE CARThe tow ring provided with the car is
housed in the tool box under the carpet
in the boot.
FASTENING THE TOW RING
fig. 44-45
Proceed as follows:❒
release the cap A;
❒
take the tow ring Bfrom its support;
❒
screw the ring onto the rear or front
threaded pin.
The brake booster and pow-
er steering will not work
while the vehicle is being towed. You
will therefore need to apply more
force to the brake pedal and steering
wheel. Do not use bendy cables for
towing and avoid jerking. Make sure
not to damage parts in contact with
the car while towing. Respect the
rules of the highway code when tow-
ing the car, specifically in relation to
the towing device and road conduct.

Do not start the engine while
the car is being towed.
WARNING
Clean the threaded housing
carefully before fastening
the ring. Make sure that the ring is se-
curely fastened before towing the car.
WARNING
Release the steering wheel
lock before towing (see “Ig-
nition device” in “Dashboard and
controls”). The brake booster and
power steering will not work while the
vehicle is being towed. You will there-
fore need to apply more force to the
brake pedal and steering wheel. Do
not use bendy cables for towing and
avoid jerking. Make sure not to dam-
age parts in contact with the car
while towing. Respect the rules of the
highway code when towing the car,
specifically in relation to the towing
device and road conduct.
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 dis-
tances 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 tow-
ing operations using cables or other
non-rigid devices.
Respecting the above conditions,
towing must take place with two ve-
hicles (one towing, the other towed)
aligned as much as possible along the
same centre line.

AND CARE
IMPORTANT Scheduled Services are pre-
scribed by the manufacturer. Failure to
stick to the schedule may invalidate the
warranty.
Scheduled Servicing is performed by all Fi-
at Dealerships at pre-arranged times.
If, during each part of the service, the need
arises for additional replacements or re-
pairs, these may be carried out only with
the explicit agreement of the Customer.IMPORTANT You are advised to contact
a Fiat Dealership in the event of any mi-
nor operating faults, without waiting for
the next service.
If your car is used frequently for towing,
the interval between services should be
reduced.
SCHEDULED SERVICINGCorrect maintenance is essential for
ensuring long car life under the best con-
ditions.This is why Fiat has prepared a series of
checks and service operations to be car-
ried out every 30,000 kilometres (for
petrol Euro 4, Euro 5, Euro 6 and Diesel
Euro 4 versions) or every 35,000 kilo-
metres (for Euro 5+ Diesel versions).
It is, however, important to remember
that scheduled servicing does not com-
pletely cover all the car’s requirements:
even in the initial period before
30,000/35,000 km, and then subsequent-
ly between one service and another, or-
dinary care is always required such as rou-
tine checks involving topping up fluid
levels, checking tyre pressures etc...
