NOTE Using any part other than the
designated towing hooks could result in
damage to the vehicle body.
Using a wire rope or metal chain can
result in damage to the vehicle body. It
is best to use a non-metallic rope. If you
use a wire rope or metal chain, wrap it
with cloth at any point where it touches
the vehicle body.
Use care that the tow rope is kept as
horizontal as possible. An angled tow
rope can damage the vehicle body.
Secure the tow rope to the same side
towing hook, to keep the tow rope as
straight as possible.
2. Keep the engine running. If the
engine is not running, perform the
following operation to unlock the
steering wheel.
[Except for vehicles with the keyless
operation system] On vehicles with
manual transmission, turn the ignition
switch to the “ACC” or “ON” position.On vehicles with automatic
transmission, turn the ignition switch to
the “ON” position. [For vehicles with the
keyless operation system] On vehicles
with manual transmission, put the
operation mode in ACC or ON. On
vehicles with automatic transmission,
put the operation mode in ON.
NOTE For vehicles equipped with the
Start&Stop system, press the
“Start&Stop OFF” switch to deactivate
the Start&Stop system before stopping

IN AN EMERGENCY
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.
325)When towing the vehicle comply with
the specific rules of the Highway Code
regarding the towing device and the
behaviour on the road.
326)Do not start the engine while towing
the vehicle.
327)Towing must be made exclusively on
roads/streets; the device must not be used
to recover the vehicle if it got off the road.
328)Towing must not be made for getting
past significant obstacles on the road (e.g.
heaps of snow or material on the road
surface).
329)Towing must take place with the two
vehicles (one towing, the other towed)
aligned as much as possible; towing by
roadside assistance vehicles, too, must
take place with the two vehicles aligned as
much as possible.
IMPORTANT
169)This vehicle must not be towed by a
tow truck using sling lift type equipment
(Type A) as illustrated fig. 405. Using a sling
lift will damage the bumper and front end.
170)On 4WD vehicles, be sure to set the
drive mode-selector to “2H” position and
transport the vehicle with the driving wheels
on a carriage (Type D or E) as illustrated.
Never try to tow with the drive
mode-selector in “4H” or “4L” positions
(easy select 4WD), “4H”, “4HLc” or “4LLc”
positions (super select 4WD II) and with the
front or rear wheels on the ground (Type B
or C) as illustrated. This could result in the
driving system damage or vehicle may
jump at the carriage. If you cannot set the
drive mode-selector to “2H” position or the
transmission is malfunctioning or damaged,
transport the vehicle with the all wheels on
a carriage (Type D or E) as illustrated.
171)On 2WD vehicles, if the transmission
is malfunctioning or damaged, transport the
vehicle with the driving wheels on a
carriage (Type C, D or E) as illustrated.
172)If you tow the vehicles with automatic
transmission with the driving wheels on the
ground (Type B) as illustrated, make sure
that the towing speed and distance given
below are never exceeded, causing
damage to the transmission. Towing speed:
30 km/h Towing distance: 80 km For the
towing speed and the towing distance,
follow the local driving laws and
regulations.
173)On vehicles with manual transmission,
do not tow the vehicle with the rear wheels
on the ground (Type B) as illustrated.
408AHZ101027
225
174)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.
175)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.
176)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.
177)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. In the event
driving flooded roads, doing so may
cause the following serious damage to
the vehicle.
Engine stalling
Short in electrical components
Engine damage caused by water
immersion
After driving flooded roads, be sure to
have an inspection at a Fiat Dealership
and take the necessary measures or
repair.
When driving in rain, or water-covered
roads, or through a car wash, 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.
On a wet road
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.
226
IN AN EMERGENCY
Snow tyres
391)
219) 220)
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. The pattern depth shall be
at least 3mm (for markets / versions,
where provided). Snow tyres which do
not meet specifications must not be
used.
NOTE 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.
NOTE If flange nuts are used on your
vehicle, change to tapered nuts when
steel wheels are used.NOTE For markets / versions, where
provided, the identification letters
indicated on the winter tyres provide
information on the permissible speeds
for M&S tyres:
QMS: up to 160 kph
TMS: up to 190 kphThe respective
maximum speed should absolutely be
observed and a signboard to be
introduced into the field of view of the
driver, in case the maximum vehicle
speed indicated in the vehicle
registration a certificate is greater.
Snow traction device
(tyre chains)
If snow traction device (tyre chains)
have to be used, ensure that they are
fitted only on the drive wheels (rear) in
accordance with the manufacturer’s
instructions.
On 4WD vehicles in which the driving
power is distributed preferentially to the
rear wheels, ensure that the snow
traction device (Tyre chains) are fitted
on the rear.
Use only snow traction device (Tyre
chains) which are designed for use with
the tyres mounted on the vehicle: use
of the incorrect size or type of snow
traction device (Tyre chains) could result
in damage to the vehicle body.
Contact a Fiat Dealership before putting
on snow traction device (tyre chains).
The max. snow traction device (tyre
chains) height is as follows.

245/65R17 17x7 1/2J
When driving with snow traction device
(tyre chains) on the tyres, do not drive
faster than 50 km/h. When you reach
roads that are not covered in snow,
immediately remove the snow traction
device (tyre chains).
221) 222) 223) 224) 225) 226) 227) 228)
The laws and regulations concerning
the use of snow traction device (tyre
chains) vary. Always follow local laws
and regulations. In most countries, it is
prohibited by the law to use of snow
traction device (tyre chains) on roads
without snow.
WARNING
387)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.
388)Remember that the road holding
qualities of your vehicle also depend on the
correct inflation pressure of the tyres.
