TOWING
If your vehicle needs to be towed
If towing is necessary, we recommend
you to have it done by your Fiat
Dealership or a commercial tow truck
service. In the following cases,
transport the vehicle using a tow truck.
The engine runs but the vehicle does
not move, or an abnormal noise is
produced.
Inspection of the vehicle’s underside
reveals that oil or some other fluid is
leaking.
If a wheel gets stuck in a ditch, do not
try to tow the vehicle. Please contact
your Fiat Dealership or a commercial
tow truck service for assistance.
Only when you cannot receive a towing
service from a Fiat Dealership or
commercial tow truck service, tow your
vehicle carefully in accordance with the
instructions given in “Emergency
towing” in this part. The regulations
concerning towing may differ from
country to country. It is recommended
that you obey the regulations of the
area where you are driving your vehicle.Towing the vehicle by a tow truck

Towing with front wheels off the
ground (Type B)
Place the gearshift lever in the “N”
(Neutral) position (manual transmission)
or the selector lever in the “N”
(NEUTRAL) position (automatic
transmission). Release the parking
brake.
142)
Towing with rear wheels off the
ground (Type C)
Place the gearshift lever in the “N”
(Neutral) position (manual transmission)
or the selector lever in the “N”
(NEUTRAL) position (automatic
transmission). Turn the ignition switch to
the “ACC” position or put the operation
mode in ACC and secure the steering
wheel in a straight-ahead position with
a rope or tiedown strap. Never place
the ignition switch in the “LOCK”
position or put the operation mode in
OFF when towing.
Emergency towing
If towing service is not available in an
emergency, your vehicle may be
temporarily towed by a rope secured to
the towing hook. If your vehicle is to be
towed by another vehicle or if your
vehicle tows another vehicle, pay
careful attention to the following points.

142)Never tow an automatic transmission
vehicle with the front wheels up (and the
rear wheels on the ground) (Type B) when
the automatic transmission fluid level is low.
This may cause serious and expensive
damage to the transmission.
143)When the engine is not running, the
brake booster and power steering pump do
not operate. This means higher brake
depression force and higher steering effort
are required. Therefore, vehicle operation is
very difficult.
144)Do not leave the ignition switch in the
“LOCK” position or the operation mode in
OFF. The steering wheel will lock, causing
loss of control.
145)On vehicles with super select 4WD II,
when you are going to tow another vehicle,
set the drive mode-selector to “4H”
position. Selecting “2H” drive may increase
the differential oil temperature, resulting in
possible damage to the driving system.
Further, the drive train will be subjected to
excessive loading possibly leading to oil
leakage, component seizure, or other
serious faults.OPERATION UNDER
ADVERSE DRIVING
CONDITIONS
On a flooded road
Avoid flooded roads. Water could enter
the brake discs, resulting in temporarily
ineffective brakes. In such cases, lightly
depress the brake pedal to see if the
brakes operate properly. If they do not,
lightly depress the pedal several times
while driving in order to dry the brake
pads.
When driving in rain or on a road with
many puddles a layer of water may
form between the tyres and the road
surface. This reduces a tyre’s frictional
resistance on the road, resulting in loss
of steering stability and braking
capability.
To cope with this, observe the following
items:
(a) Drive your vehicle at a slow speed.
(b) Do not drive on worn tyres.
(c) Always maintain the specified tyre
inflation pressures.On a snow-covered or frozen road
When driving on a snow-covered or
frozen road, it is recommended that you
use snow tyres or snow traction device
(tyre chains). Refer to the “Snow tyres”
and “Snow traction device (tyre chains)”
sections.
Avoid high-speed operation, sudden
acceleration, abrupt brake application
and sharp cornering.
Depressing the brake pedal during
travel on snowy or icy roads may cause
tyre slippage and skidding. When
traction between the tyres and the road
is reduced the wheels may skid and the
vehicle cannot readily be brought to a
stop by conventional braking
techniques. Braking will differ,
depending upon whether you have
anti-lock brake system (ABS). If you do
have ABS, brake by pressing the brake
pedal hard, and keeping it pressed. If
you do not have ABS, pump the brake
pedal with short rapid jabs, each time
fully applying and fully releasing for
greatest effect.
Allow extra distance between your
vehicle and the vehicle in front of you,
and avoid sudden braking.
Accumulation of ice on the braking
system can cause the wheels to lock.
Pull away from a standstill slowly after
confirming safety around the vehicle.

SERVICING AND MAINTENANCE

The engine oil used has a significant
effect on the engine’s performance,
service life and startability. Be sure to
use oil of the recommended quality and
appropriate viscosity. All engines
consume a certain amount of oil during
normal operation. Therefore, it is
important to check the oil level at
regular intervals or before starting a
long trip.
1. Park the car on a horizontal surface.
2. Switch off the engine.
3.Wait a few minutes.
4. Remove the dipstick and wipe it with
a clean cloth.
5. Reinsert the dipstick as far as it
goes.
6. Remove the dipstick and read the oil
level, which should always be within the
range indicated.
7. If the oil level is below the specified
limit, remove the cap located on the
cylinder head cover and add enough oilto raise the level to within the specified
range. Do not overfill to avoid engine
damage. Be sure to use the specified
engine oil and do not mix various types
of oil.
8. After adding oil, close the cap
securely.
9. Confirm the oil level by repeating
step 4 to 6.
NOTE Check or refill the oil according
to the following manner.
When the oil level is checked in step
6 above, check it on a low side of the
dipstick because it is different in
appearance of oil level in the two sides
of the dipstick.
On vehicles without diesel particulate
filter (DPF), the oil level should be within
the range (A) to (B) on the dipstick.
On vehicles with DPF, the oil level
should be within the range (A) to (C) (oil
replacement indication mark) on the
dipstick. If the oil level is beyond the oil
replacement indication mark (C),
replace the oil as soon as possible.
Then, the oil should be refilled to the
maximum level (B).
On vehicle with DPF, the engine oil
will be increased due to a few of the
fuel gets mixed in the engine oil when
the DPF regenerates to burn away the
PM (particulate matter). However, it
does not indicate a malfunction.
The engine oil will deteriorate rapidly ifthe vehicle is subjected to severe
conditions, requiring earlier oil
replacement. Please refer to the
maintenance schedule.
Selection of engine oil —
Petrol-powered and Diesel-
powered vehicles
Refer to “Refill capacities” under
Technical Specifications.
WARNING
315)If the engine oil is being topped up,
wait for the engine to cool down before
loosening the filler cap, particularly for
vehicles with aluminium cap (where
provided). WARNING: risk of burns!

SERVICING AND MAINTENANCE

Snow tyres
183)
The use of snow tyres is recommended
for driving on snow and ice. To preserve
driving stability, mount snow tyres of the
same size and tread pattern on all four
wheels. Snow tyres worn more than 50
% are no longer suitable for use as
snow tyres. Snow tyres which do not
meet specifications must not be used.
The laws and regulations concerning
snow tyres (driving speed, required use,
type, etc.) vary. Find out and follow the
laws and regulations in the area you
intend to drive.
If flange nuts are used on your vehicle,
change to tapered nuts when steel
wheels are used.
Tyre chains
343)
184) 185) 186) 187) 188) 189) 190) 191)
It is recommended that snow chains
are carried in snow regions and fitted
when required to the rear wheels.
On 4WD vehicles in which the driving
power is distributed preferentially to the
rear wheels, ensure that the tyre chains
are fitted on the rear.
The tyres fitted to your vehicle as
original equipment allow you to fit tyre
chains if they are required. When
replacing your tyres, check with the tyre
distributor or manufacturer if the fitting
of tyre chains will be detrimental to the
tyres being purchased.
Always follow the chain manufacturer’s
instructions when fitting the chains.
The laws and regulations concerning
the use of tyre chains vary. Find out and
follow the laws and regulations in
driving area. In most countries, it is
prohibited by the law to use tyre chains
on roads without snow.
WARNING
339)Driving with tyres that are worn,
damaged or improperly inflated can lead to
a loss of control or blow out of the tyres
which can result in a collision with serious
or fatal injury.340)Remember that the road holding
qualities of your vehicle also depend on the
correct inflation pressure of the tyres.
341)If the pressure is too low, the tyre will
overheat and could be seriously damaged.
342)Never submit alloy rims to repainting
treatments requiring the use of
temperatures exceeding 150°C. The
mechanical properties of the wheels could
be impaired.
343)DO NOT use a jack when fitting the
chains, as in the conditions, the tyres may
slip on the icy road causing the vehicle to
slip off the jack.
IMPORTANT
178)Always use tyres of the same size,
same type, and same brand, and which
have no wear differences. Using tyres of
different size, type, brands or degree of
wear, will increase the differential oil
temperature, resulting in possible damage
to the driving system. Further, the drive
train will be subjected to excessive loading,
possibly leading to oil leakage, component
seizure, or other serious faults.
179)Avoid using different size tyres from
the one listed and the combined use of
different types of tyres, as this can affect
driving safety.
180)Even if a wheel has the same rim size
and offset as the specified type of wheel,
its shape may prevent it from being fitted
correctly. Consult a Fiat dealership before
using wheels that you have.
