WARNING
145)Never leave children unattended in
the vehicle. In addition, always remove the
ignition key when leaving the vehicle and
take it out with you.
146)For cars equipped with a front
armrest, lift it up to ensure that it does not
interfere with the action of the handbrake.
IMPORTANT
26)Depending on the slope and/or load,
you may need to tighten the brake another
two clicks.
27)When driving, check that the handbrake
is completely lowered and disengaged (the
red light is off): you could overheat or
deteriorate it.28)Following a collision with a kerb, a high
step, a stone post or other types of urban
features, have your vehicle checked by the
Fiat Dealership to avoid any risk of
accident: you may have damaged an axle
shaft, the steering gear or other part.

IN AN EMERGENCY
JUMP STARTING
173) 174) 175) 176) 177)
39)
Starting the engine that supplies
electrical power and keeping it at
medium speed.
To start, if you use the battery from
another vehicle, you need to have the
right cables (large size) from a Fiat
Dealership or, if you already have them,
make sure they are in perfect condition.
The two batteries have to have nominal
identical voltage: 12 Volt The battery
that supplies the power has to have a
capacity (amperes/hour, Ah) that is at
least identical to the dead battery.
Make sure that there is no contact
between the two vehicles (risk of short
circuit at the moment the positive poles
are in contact) and that the dead
battery is well connected. Disengage
the starter device.Depending on the versions, unhook the
battery guard.
Connect positive cable A fig. 260 to
terminal 1 (+) fig. 260 then to terminal 4
(+) fig. 260 of the battery supplying the
power.
Connect negative cable B fig. 260 to
terminal 3 (-) fig. 260 from the battery
supplying power, then to terminal 2 (-)
fig. 260 of the dead battery.
Start the engine and as soon as it turns
over, disconnect cables A and B in
reverse order (2-3-4-1) .
WARNING
173)Check that the wires A and B are not
touching and that the positive cable A does
not touch any metal component of the
vehicle providing the current. You risk injury
and/or damage to the vehicle.174)Before opening the bonnet, make
sure that the engine is off and that the
ignition key is in the "S" (Stop) position.
Follow the indications on the plate
underneath the bonnet.
175)Do not get too close to the radiator
cooling fan: the electric fan may start;
danger of injury. Scarves, ties and other
loose clothing might be pulled by moving
parts.
176)Remove any metal objects (e.g. rings,
watches, bracelets), that might cause an
accidental electrical contact and cause
serious injury.
177)The batteries contain acid that can
burn skin or eyes. Batteries produce
hydrogen, which is easily flammable and
explosive. Therefore, keep away flames or
devices which may cause sparks.
IMPORTANT
39)Never use a fast battery-charger to
start the engine as this could damage the
electronic systems of your vehicle,
particularly the ignition and engine fuel
supply control units.

IN AN EMERGENCY
TOWING THE
VEHICLE
182) 183) 184)
41) 42) 43)
The steering wheel should not be
locked; the starter device has to be in
position "M" (ignition) to allow signalling
("Stop" lights, emergency lights). At
night the outside vehicle lighting must
remain on.
Detach the trailer where there is one.
Moreover, you have to comply with the
towing conditions, defined by the
regulations in force in the country you
are in.
Contact a Fiat Dealership.
Never use the gear or drive shafts to
tow the vehicle.
Use the rings exclusively for towing; in
no case must they be used to lift the
vehicle up, directly or indirectly.
In the rear part use exclusively:
for vehicles without a tow hook, tow
point 2 fig. 262;
for vehicles with a tow hook, tow
point 3 fig. 263.
To mount the towing knob 3, please
see the installation instructions for the
equipment.In the front part use exclusively:The tow ring 6 fig. 264 (located in the
tool bag) and tow point 4.Front tow point
Use a screwdriver to release the
protection 5 fig. 264.
Fully tighten the tow ring 4 fig. 264: (first
by hand, then use the tyre wrench).
WARNING
182)Before towing, turn the starter device
to M position and then to S without
extracting it. The steering column will
automatically lock when the key is removed
and the wheels cannot be steered.
183)Before tightening the tow ring, clean
the relative threaded hole thoroughly. Make
sure that the ring is fully fastened in the
housing before towing the vehicle. Do not
start the engine whilst the vehicle is being
towed.
