2014 FIAT QUBO tow

WARNING
Failure of the warning light
is
indicated by warning light.In
addition, the air bag system automatically
disables the passenger air bags (both front and
side air bags, for versions/markets, where
provided). Contact a Fiat Dealership
immediately to have the system checked.
OVERHEATED ENGINE COOLANT
(red)
When the ignition key is turned to MAR, the warning
light turns on but should go off after a few seconds.
The warning light turns on when the engine is
overheated.If the warning light comes on, proceed as follows:
❒When travelling normally: stop the vehicle, stop
the engine and check that the coolant level in
the vessel is not under the MIN line. If it is, wait
for a few minutes to allow the engine to cool
down, then slowly and carefully open the vessel
cap. Top up with coolant fluid making sure that the
liquid level is included between the MIN and
MAX lines on the vessel. Also check for leaks. Go
to a Fiat Dealership if the warning light comes
on again when the engine is next started.
❒If the vehicle is used under demanding conditions
(e.g. towing trailers uphill or fully loaded): slow
down and, if the light stays on, stop the vehicle.
Stop for two or three minutes with the engine
running and slightly accelerated to assist better
coolant circulation. Then switch the engine off.
Check correct fluid level in the vessel as described
above.
IMPORTANT On particularly demanding journeys, it
is advisable to keep the engine on and slightly
accelerated for a few minutes before switching it off.
A specific message is displayed on certain versions.

WARNING
This procedure must be performed by
experts because incorrect actions may
cause considerable electrical discharge.
Furthermore, batter y fluid is poisonous and
corrosive: avoid contact with skin and eyes.
Keep naked flames and lit cigarettes away from
the battery. Do not create sparks.
BUMP STARTING
Never bump start the engine by pushing, towing or
driving downhill. This could cause fuel to flow into
the catalytic converter and damage it beyond repair.
IMPORTANT Remember that the brake booster
and the power steering system are not active until
the engine is started, so you will need to apply much
more force to the brake pedal or steering wheel.
CHANGING A TYREThe vehicle is originally equipped with the Fix&Go
automatic quick tyre repair kit (see instructions
in the next chapter). As an alternative, the vehicle
may have a normal-sized spare wheel.
Changing the wheel and correct use of the jack and
spare wheel require some precautions, which are
listed below.
WARNING
The spare wheel (for versions/markets,
where provided) is specific for your
vehicle.Therefore, it must not be used on other
models. Do not use spare wheels of other
models on your vehicle.The spare wheel must
be used only in an emergency. Use of the spare
wheel must kept to the minimum necessar y.

SERVICING AND MAINTENANCE
SCHEDULED SERVICINGCorrect servicing is essential for ensuring long
vehicle life under the best conditions.
This is why Fiat has planned a series of checks and
services every 30,000 km.
It is, however, important to remember that
scheduled servicing does not completely cover all the
requirements of the vehicle: even in the initial period
before 30,000 km, and then subsequently, between
one service and another, ordinary care is always
required such as routine checks involving topping up
fluid levels, checking tyre pressures etc.
IMPORTANT The Scheduled Servicing coupons are
set out by the Manufacturer. Failure to comply
with the schedule may invalidate the warranty.Scheduled Servicing is performed by all Fiat
Dealerships, at pre-established times.
If, during any service, the need arises for additional
replacements or repairs, these may be carried out
only with the explicit agreement of the Customer.
IMPORTANT It is advisable to inform a Fiat
Dealership of any small operating irregularities
without waiting for the next service.
The interval between scheduled services must be
reduced if your vehicle is used frequently for towing
trailers.
