Versions with COMFORT-MATIC
transmission
Make sure that the gearbox is in neutral
(N) (checking that the vehicle moves
when pushed) and proceed in the same
way as for towing a normal vehicle
with a manual transmission.
If the gear lever cannot be put in
neutral, do not tow the vehicle, but
contact a Fiat Dealership.
WARNING
129)Before towing, turn the ignition key to
MAR-ON and then to STOP without
removing it. The steering column
will automatically lock when the key is
removed and the wheels cannot be
steered.
130)Before tightening the hook clean the
threaded housing thoroughly. Before
towing the vehicle, make sure that the tow
ring is fully tightened in its appropriate
housing.131)Do not start the engine whilst the
vehicle is being towed.
132)Remember that the brake booster will
not work while the vehicle is being towed
and that more pressure must be applied to
the pedal. Do not use flexible cables when
towing and avoid jerky movements. During
towing operations, make sure that the
fastened joint does not damage adjoining
components. When towing the vehicle, it is
necessary to obey specific road regulations
which relate both to the towing device as
well as to the behaviour to adopt on the
road. Do not start the engine whilst the
vehicle is being towed.
WARNING
41)The front and rear tow hooks should
be used only for emergencies on the road.
You are allowed to tow the vehicle for
short distances using an appropriate
device in accordance with the highway
code (a rigid bar), to move the vehicle on
the road in readiness for towing or
transport via a tow truck. Tow hooks
MUST NOT be used to tow vehicles off the
road or where there are obstacles and/or
for towing operations using cables or other
non-rigid devices. In compliance with the
above conditions, towing must take place
with the two vehicles (one towing, the
other towed) aligned as much as possible
along the same centre line.

EMERGENCY ALARM RECEPTION
The radio can receive emergency
alerts in RDS mode in exceptional
circumstances or when there are
dangerous situations (earthquakes,
floods, etc.), if these are being
transmitted by the broadcaster tuned
into.
This function is activated automatically
and cannot be turned off.
The word ALARM will be shown in the
display during the transmission of an
emergency announcement. The volume
of the radio changes during this
announcement in the same way as
during traffic news.
CD PLAYER
This chapter describes the variants
regarding the operation of the CD
player only: as far as the operation of
the radio is concerned, refer to the
description in the "Functions and
Adjustments" chapter.
SELECTING THE CD PLAYER
To activate the CD player built-into the
equipment, proceed as follows:
insert a CD with the equipment
switched on: the first track will start to
play;
or
if a CD has already been loaded,
switch on the radio and then briefly
press the CD button to select the “CD”
operating mode: the last track listened
to will start to play.
LOADING/EJECTING A CD
To load the CD, insert it gently into the
slot to activate the motorised loading
system, which will position it correctly.
Press the button
, with the device
turned on, to activate the CD motorised
ejecting system. After ejection, the last
audio source listened to before playing
the CD will be heard.
If the CD is not removed from the radio,
it will automatically be reloaded about
20 seconds later and will tune into
Tuner mode (Radio).
The CD cannot be ejected if the radio is
off.
If the ejected CD is reloaded without
having removed it completely from the
slot, the radio will not switch to the
CD source.
Possible error messages
If the loaded CD cannot be played (e.g.
a CD ROM has been inserted or the
CD is inserted the wrong way round or
there is reading error) the display shows
the words “CD Disc error”.CD MP3 PLAYER
SELECTING MP3 SESSIONS ON
HYBRID DISCS
If a hybrid disc is inserted (Mixed Mode,
Enhanced, CD-Extra) also containing
MP3 files, the radio automatically starts
playing the audio session. It is possible
to move to the MP3 session whilst
playing by keeping the CD button
pressed for more than 2 seconds.
IMPORTANT When the function
is activated the radio may take a few
seconds to start playback. Whilst
checking the disc the display will show
"CD Reading". If no MP3 files are
detected, the radio will resume playing
the audio session from the point where
it was interrupted.
SELECTING NEXT/PREVIOUS
FOLDER
Press the
button to select one of the
next folders or press the
button to
select a previous folder. The display will
show the number and the name of
the folder (e.g. “DIR 2 XXXXXX”).
XXXXXX: name of the folder (the display
will only show the first 8 characters).
The folders are selected cyclically: the
first folder is selected after the last
folder and vice versa.

WARNING
ROOF RACK/SKI RACK
Distribute the load evenly and pay attention to side winds when driving.
Never exceed the maximum permitted loads (see chapter "Technical specifications").
INSTRUMENT PANEL
If the needle for the engine coolant temperature reaches the red area, stop the engine immediately and contact a Fiat Dealership.
“COMFORT-MATIC" TRANSMISSION Messages on the display
If the warning light(together with the message in the display) continues to remain on in the panel, go to a Fiat Dealership.
If the message is still shown in the display, contact a Fiat Dealership.
To keep the clutch in good condition, do not use the accelerator to keep the car stationary (e.g. when stopped facing uphill); the clutch
could be damaged by overheating. Use the brake pedal instead and operate the accelerator only when you are ready to set off.
BODYWORK
Some automatic systems equipped with old generation blades and/or with a poor maintenance can damage the paint, promoting the
creation of microscoring which give an opaque/coated appearance to the paint, especially on dark colours. In this case, just lightly polish with
specific products.
WARNING
BODYWORK
Detergents pollute the environment. The vehicle should be washed in areas equipped for collecting and purifying the liquid used in the
washing process.
