LIFTING THE CAR
If the car is to be lifted, go to a Fiat Deal-
ership which is equipped with the arm
hoist or workshop lift.
Lift the car exclusively by positioning the
jack arms or the shop jack in the points
shown in the figure.
TOWING THE CAR
The tow ring provided with the car is
housed in the tool box under the boot
mat.
The front and rear tow hooks
should only be used on the
roads for emergency operations. Tow-
ing is permitted for short journies us-
ing the special device that conforms to
the highway code (rigid bar) to move
the vehicle onto the road in prepara-
tion for towing or transportation on
a special vehicle.
The hooks should NOT be used for re-
covering the vehicle away from the
road or where there are obstacles
and/or for towing using cables or oth-
er non rigid devices. With regard to the
above conditions, towing should take
place with the two vehicles (the one
towing and the one being towed)
aligned as closely as possible along the
same centre line axis.
