TOWING
If your vehicle needs to be towed
If towing is necessary, we recommend
you to have it done by a 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 a
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

WARNING
318)Towing must not be made for getting
past significant obstacles on the road (e.g.
heaps of snow or material on the road
surface).
319)Towing must be made exclusively on
roads/streets; the device must not be used
to recover the vehicle if it got off the road.
320)As your vehicle is equipped with ESC,
if the vehicle is towed with the ignition
switch in the “ON” position or the operation
mode in ON and only the front wheels or
only the rear wheels raised off the ground,
the active traction control system may
operate, resulting in an accident.
321)Avoid sudden braking, acceleration
and steering wheel movements; such
driving operation could cause damage to
the towing hook or towing rope. People in
the vicinity could be injured as a result.322)When going down a long slope, the
brakes may overheat, reducing
effectiveness. Have your vehicle transport
by a tow truck.
323)The person in the vehicle being towed
must pay attention to the brake lamps of
the towing vehicle and make sure the rope
never becomes slack.
324)Do not use flexible cables for towing
and avoid jerking. During towing
operations, make sure that the fastened
joint does not damage adjoining
components.

the specific rules of the Highway Code
regarding the towing device and the
behaviour on the road.
