INSTALLING THE TOW HOOK
The towing device should be fixed to the body by
specialised personnel in accordance with any
additional information supplied by the manufacturer
of the device.
The towing device must meet current regulations
with reference to Directive 94/20/EEC and
subsequent amendments.
For any version the towing device used must match
the towable weight of the vehicle on which it is to be
installed.
For the electrical connection, a standard connector
should be used which is generally placed on a special
bracket normally fixed to the towing device, and a
special control unit for external trailer light control
must be installed on the vehicle. For the electrical
connection, 7 or 13 pin 12 V DC connections are to
be used (CUNA/UNI and ISO/DIN Standards).
Follow the instructions provided by the vehicle
manufacturer and/or the tow hitch manufacturer.
Any electric brake or winch should be powered
directly by the battery through a cable with a
cross-section of no less than 2.5 mm
IMPORTANT Electric brakes or other devices must
be used with engine running.
In addition to the electrical branches, the vehicle's
electrical system can be connected only to the supply
cable for an electric brake and to the cable for an
internal trailer light, though not more than 15 W. For
connections, use a preset control unit with battery
cable no less than 2.5 mm2.
IMPORTANT The trailer tow hook contributes to
the length of the vehicle. When installing on long
wheelbase versions, it is only possible to install
removable tow hooks because the total vehicle
length limit of 6 metres is exceeded.
If no trailer is fitted, the hook must be removed from
the attachment base and it must not exceed the
vehicle's original length.
IMPORTANT If you wish to leave the tow hook
fitted without towing a trailer, it is advisable to
contact a Fiat Dealership for the relevant system
update operations because the tow hook could be
detected as an obstacle by the central sensors.
