internal trailer light, though not more than 15 W. For
connections, use the preset control unit with a
battery cable with section no less than 2.5 mm

IMPORTANT The use of auxiliary loads other than
external lights (electric brake, winch, etc.) must
be used with engine running.

IMPORTANT To install a tow hook contact a Fiat
Dealership.

WARNING

The ABS with which the car may be
equipped will not control the braking

system of the trailer. Particular caution is
required on slippery roads.

WARNING

Never modify the braking system of the
car to control the trailer brake.The

trailer braking system must be fully
independent of the car’s hydraulic system.

SNOW TYRES

Use snow tyres of the same size as the normal tyres
provided with the car.
Any Fiat Dealership will be available to provide
advice concerning the most suitable type of tyre for
the customer's requirements.
For the type of tyre to be used, inflation pressures
and the specifications of snow tyres, follow the
instructions given in paragraph "Wheels" in section
"Technical specifications".
The winter performance of these tyres is
considerably reduced when the tread thickness is less
than 4 mm. Replace them in this case.
Due to their specific features, the performance of
snow tyres is much lower than that of normal types
in normal conditions or long motorway stretches.
Their usage should therefore be restricted in
accordance with their type approval.

IMPORTANT When using snow tyres with a
maximum speed index below the one that can be
reached by the car (increased by 5%), place a notice
in the passenger compartment, plainly in view, which
states the maximum speed allowed by the snow
tyres (as per EC Directive).
All four tyres should be the same (brand and track)
to ensure greater safety when driving and braking
and better driveability. Remember that you should
not change the rotation direction of the tyres.
