TOWING THE CAR
154) 155) 156) 157) 158)
The tow hook, if is supplied with the
car, is housed in the tool box, under the
mat in the luggage compartment.
ATTACHING THE TOW
HOOK
Manually remove cap A fig. 124 (front
bumper) or A fig. 125 (for versions/
markets, where provided) on the rear
bumper, pressing the lower part, take
the tow hook B from its housing in
the tool box and tighten it completely
on the front or rear threaded pin.Versions with Dualogic
transmission
Make sure that the transmission is in
neutral (N) (checking that the car moves
when pushed) and proceed in the
same way as for towing a normal car
with a manual transmission. If the
gearbox cannot be put in neutral, do
not tow the car and contact a Fiat
Dealership.
Panda Cross 4x4 and Panda 4x4
versions
The car can only be towed in one of the
following ways (and always with the
engine off, gear set to neutral and

with all the wheels on the road
surface;
with the front (or rear) wheels raised
or resting on an emergency vehicle
and the rear (or front) wheels resting on

125F1D0095
125

loaded on the flatbed of the rescue
vehicle with all the wheels on the
flatbed.
IMPORTANT On Cross versions, hooks
A fig. 126, if present, can be used to
tow the car in an emergency.
WARNING
154)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.
155)Before tightening the ring clean the
threaded housing thoroughly. Make sure
that the ring is fully screwed into the
housing before towing the car.156)Whilst towing, remember that as the
assistance of the brake servo and the
electric power assisted steering is
not available, greater force needs to be
exerted on the brake pedal and more effort
is required on the steering wheel. Do not
use flexible cables when towing and avoid
jerky movements. During towing, make
sure that the trailer hitch does not damage
any components it is touching. When
towing the car, you must comply with all
specific traffic regulations, both in terms of
the towing device and behaviour on the
road. Do not start the engine while towing
the car.
157)The front and rear tow hooks (for
versions/markets, where provided) should
be used only for emergencies on the road.
You are allowed to tow the car for short
distances using an appropriate device
in accordance with the highway code (a
rigid bar), to move the car on the road
in readiness for towing or transporting via a
breakdown car. Tow rings MUST NOT be
used to tow cars 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.
158)Do not use tow hooks for securing the
car on ships.
