Please be sure to read the whole of this Chapter before carrying out any work on your car. 
SAFETY FIRST! 
You must always ensure that 
safety is the first consideration 
in any job you carry out. A 
slight lack of concentration, or 
a rush to finish the job quickly 
can easily result in an accident, 
as can failure to follow the 
precautions outlined in 
this manual. 
Be sure to consult the 
suppliers of any materials and 
equipment you may use, and 
to obtain and read carefully 
any operating and health and 
safety instructions that may 
be available on packaging or 
from manufacturers 
and suppliers. 
Raising the Car Safely 
ALWAYS ensure that the vehicle is properly supported when 
raised off the ground. Don't work on, around, or underneath 
a raised vehicle unless axle stands are positioned under 
secure, load bearing underbody areas, or the vehicle is driven 
onto ramps, with the wheels remaining on the ground 
securely chocked to prevent movement. 
NEVER work on a vehicle supported on a jack. Jacks are made 
for lifting the vehicle only, not for holding it off the ground 
while it is being worked on. 
ALWAYS ensure that the safe working load rating of any 
jacks, hoists or lifting gear used is sufficient for the job, and 
that lifting gear is used only as recommended by the 
manufacturer. 
NEVER attempt to loosen or tighten nuts that require a lot of 
force to turn (e.g. a tight oil drain plug) with the vehicle 
raised, unless it is safely supported. Take care not to pull the 
vehicle off its supports when applying force to a spanner. 
Wherever possible, initially slacken tight fastenings before 
raising the car off the ground. 
ALWAYS wear eye protection when working under the 
vehicle and when using power tools. 
Working On The Vehicle 
ALWAYS seek specialist advice unless you are justifiably 
confident about carrying out each job. The safety of your 
vehicle affects you, your passengers and other road users. 
DON'T lean over, or work on, a running engine unless it is 
strictly necessary, and keep long hair and loose clothing well 
out of the way of moving mechanical parts. Note that it is 
theoretically possible for fluorescent striplighting to make an 
engine fan appear to be stationary
 -
 double check whether it 
is spinning or not! This is the sort of error that happens when 
you're really tired and not thinking straight. So... 
...DON'T work on your car when you're over tired. 
ALWAYS work in a well ventilated area and don't inhale dust 
- it may contain asbestos or other harmful substances. 
NEVER run the engine indoors, in a confined space or over 
a pit. 
REMOVE your wrist watch, rings and all other jewellery before 
doing any work on the vehicle
 -
 and especially when working 
on the electrical system. 
DON'T remove the radiator or expansion tank filler cap when 
the cooling system is hot, or you may get scalded by escaping 
coolant or steam. Let the system cool down first and even 
then, if the engine is not completely cold, cover the cap with 
a cloth and gradually release the pressure. 
NEVER drain oil, coolant or automatic transmission fluid when 
the engine is hot. Allow time for it to cool sufficiently to avoid 
scalding you. 
ALWAYS keep antifreeze, brake and clutch fluid away from 
vehicle paintwork. Wash off any spills immediately. 
TAKE CARE to avoid touching any engine or exhaust system 
component unless it is cool enough not to burn you.  

Running The Vehicle 
NEVER start the engine unless the gearbox is in neutral (or 
'Park' in the case of automatic transmission) and the hand 
brake is fully applied. 
NEVER run catalytic converter equipped vehicles without the 
exhaust system heat shields in place. 
TAKE CARE when parking vehicles fitted with catalytic 
converters. The 'cat' reaches extremely high temperatures and 
any combustible materials under the car, such as long dry 
grass, could be ignited. 
Personal Safety 
NEVER siphon fuel, antifreeze, brake fluid or other such toxic 
liquids by mouth, or allow contact with your skin. Use a 
suitable hand pump and wear gloves. 
BEFORE undertaking dirty jobs, use a barrier cream on your 
hands as a protection against infection. Preferably, wear 
suitable gloves, available from DIY outlets. 
WEAR IMPERVIOUS GLOVES for sure when there is a risk of 
used engine oil coming into contact with your skin. It can 
cause cancer. 
WIPE UP any spilt oil, grease or water off the floor 
immediately. 
MAKE SURE that spanners and all other tools are the right size 
for the job and are not likely to slip. Never try to 'double-up' 
spanners to gain more leverage. 
SEEK HELP if you need to lift something heavy which may be 
beyond your capability. Don't forget that when lifting a heavy 
weight, you should keep your back straight and bend your 
knees to avoid injuring your back. 
NEVER take risky short-cuts or rush to finish a job. Plan ahead 
and allow plenty of time. 
BE METICULOUS and keep the work area tidy
 -
 you'll avoid 
frustration, work better and lose less. 
KEEP children and animals right-away from the work area and 
from unattended vehicles. 
ALWAYS tell someone what you're doing and have them 
regularly check that all is well, especially when working alone 
on, or under, the vehicle. 
Fire! 
Petrol (gasoline) is a dangerous and highly flammable liquid 
requiring special precautions. When working on the fuel 
system, disconnect the vehicle battery earth (ground) terminal 
whenever possible and always work outside, or in a very well 
ventilated area. Any form of spark, such as that caused by an 
electrical fault, by two metal surfaces striking against each 
other, by a central heating boiler in the garage 'firing up', or 
even by static electricity built up in your clothing can, in a 
confined space, ignite petrol vapour causing an explosion. 
Take great care not to spill petrol on to the engine or exhaust 
system, never allow any naked flame anywhere near the work 
area and, above all, don't smoke. 
Invest in a workshop-sized fire extinguisher. Choose the 
carbon dioxide type or preferably, dry powder but NEVER a 
water type extinguisher for workshop use. 
DON'T disconnect any fuel pipes on a fuel injected engine 
without following the advice in this manual. The fuel in the 
line is under very high pressure
 -
 sufficient to cause serious 
injury. Remember that many injection systems have residual 
pressure in the pipes for days after switching off. If necessary 
seek specialist advice. 
Fumes 
Petrol (gasoline) vapour and that given off by many solvents, 
thinners, and adhesives are highly toxic and under certain 
conditions can lead to unconsciousness or even death, if 
inhaled. The risks are increased if such fluids are used in a 
confined space so always ensure adequate ventilation. Always 
read the maker's instructions and follow them with care. 
Never drain petrol (gasoline) or use solvents, thinners 
adhesives or other toxic substances in an inspection pit. It is 
also dangerous to park a vehicle for any length of time over 
an inspection pit. The fumes from even a slight fuel leak can 
cause an explosion when the engine is started.

• Repeat this operation three more times until the 
complete code number has been entered, if the code 
has been entered in correctly LED B will start flashing. 
• Release button A (see illustration
 1B).
 Red LED B 
flashes for 8 seconds indicating the new remote unit's 
code has been stored. 
IMPORTANT NOTE: If the LED does not illuminate 
when remote unit button (illustration 1B, button 
O is pressed, change the remote unit's battery. 
• Insert the emergency key A into the emergency switch 
slot in the glove compartment turn the key to the left to 
switch the alarm off (see inset). 
• Turn the key back towards its original position to 
switch the alarm system back on. 
IMPORTANT NOTE: As the alarm system absorbs 
energy, if you are not planning on using the car 
for a long period of time, turn the alarm exclusion 
key to the off position, so as not to run the vehicle 
battery down. 
• 2. IGNITION SWITCH AND 
STEERING COLUMN LOCK 
IGNITION SWITCH 
2. The ignition/steering column lock key, once inserted 
in the ignition lock, can be placed in any of the 
following four positions: 
• PARK
 -
 With the key in this 
position the side and tail lights 
can be turned on, the steering 
column locked and the keys 
can be removed. Press button 
A to turn the key to PARK. 
• STOP
 -
 When the key is 
turned to the STOP position the steering column will be 
locked, and the keys can be removed. 
• MAR
 -
 This is the driving position. When the key is in 
this position all the electrical devices are energised. 
• AW
 -
 Turning the key to this position starts the 
engine. 
STEERING COLUMN LOCK 
• LOCKING
 -
 To apply the steering wheel lock turn the 
steering wheel slightly to the left or right when the key is 
at STOP or PARK. 
• UNLOCKING
 -
 Rocking the steering wheel gently back 
and forth while turning the ignition key to MAR unlocks 
the steering wheel. 
• 3. PANEL INDICATORS 
INSTRUMENT DISPLAY PANEL 
3. These are the instrument panel warning LED indicators 
for all FIAT Tipo/Tempra models. Your vehicle will only 
have Panel Indicators relevant to your particular car. 
• 4. ELECTRONIC CHECK PANEL 
4. The electronic check panel is not fitted to models 
with basic trim. 
IMPORTANT NOTE: The check panel will not 
indicate if the tail light fuses blow at the same 
time, or if there is a circuit failure within the panel 
display. 
SIDE AND HATCHBACK DOORS 
When the ignition key is at MAR, the check panel LEDs 
g, h, i, I, m and n monitor the light bulbs and fuses. 
LEDs a, b, c, d, and e monitor incomplete closure of 
the side doors and hatchback. 
• Never remove the key when the car is moving. 
If you do, the steering wheel will lock the first 
time you turn it. 
• If the ignition lock has been tampered with or 
shows any sign of damage (e.g. attempted theft), 
have the lock checked at your nearest FIAT 
Service Centre.

SWITCHING OFF THE ALARM 
1C. Some models 
are fitted with an 
alarm exclusion 
switch, which can 
be found inside 
the glove 
compartment. If 
the alarm is faulty 
or the remote control batteries are flat:  

IMPORTANT NOTE: Take care not to allow any dirt or grit 
to get into the gearbox. 
• Job 19. Check driveshaft gaiters. 
45 
B INSIDE INFORMATION: Make sure you have a 10 mm 
Allen key that will fit, before you start. There's very little 
room between gearbox and subframe. B 
Q Job 17. Check auto, transmission fluid level. 
The
 automatic transmission fluid level should be checked with 
the
 car on level ground and the engine at normal running 
temperature
 -
 the car should have been driven for about 4 
miles. The level is checked by means of a dipstick next to the 
battery. 
IMPORTANT NOTE: i) It is especially important that the 
fluid is at the correct level. If the system needs regular 
topping up because of leaks, fix them as rapidly as 
possible or have your FIAT dealer check the system, 
ii) Wipe the dipstick only with a lint-free rag to avoid 
clogging up transmission valves. Keep dirt out! 
18B. The filter is 
secured by one 
central screw. 
Undo this and pull 
the filter down, 
detaching its upper 
fluid pipe in the 
process. Remove 
the filter, discard it 
and fit the 
replacement. Refit 
the sump, using a 
new gasket and 
non-setting gasket 
sealer. 
Replace the drain plug and fill the gearbox through the 
dipstick tube. {See Job
 17.) 
19A. Grasp and turn the 
inner drive-shaft and 
gaiters, checking for signs 
of gaiter splitting or 
damage that could allow 
grease out or
 -
 worse still 
-
 water in. Ensure the 
gaiter clips are secure. 
Q INSIDE INFOR-
MATION: Inners tend to 
leak, putting an oil 
stain on the shaft, as 
here. You can buy a 
FIAT repair kit, with 
bearing and 
replacement gaiter, to 
repair the leak. This 
involves removing the 
drive shaft
 -
 see 
Chapter 6, Repairs 
and Replacements. B 
19B. Check the outer 
gaiter as well. This moves 
over a greater range and 
is more prone to damage 
and splits. 
IMPORTANT NOTE: 
Change a split, or 
damaged gaiter as soon 
as possible
 -
 preferably 
before using the car 
again. 
If
 necessary,
 fresh Tutela CVT should be poured in through 
the
 dipstick tube, using a funnel in the tube or by using ATF 
from
 a dispenser with a small spout. You may have to leave 
the fresh
 oil to clear the tube before seeing a clear dipstick 
reading. 
G Job 18. Replace auto, transmission fluid and 
filter. 
As well as
 Tutela CVT fluid, you will need a new, sump 
gasket
 and
 a new gearbox oil filter, from your FIAT dealer. The 
filter
 should
 be changed every time the oil is replaced. 
18A.
 Always drain the 
fluid when
 the trans-
mission
 is
 warm, such as 
after a
 run. Raise the 
front
 of the car on 
ramps,
 so the fluid 
drains well
 from the 
drain
 hole (C) at the rear 
under-side of the 'box. 
Remove
 the drain plug 
with an
 Allen key or hexagonal socket adaptor, and allow the 
fluid to
 drain into a container beneath the transmission
 -
 allow 
ten
 minutes for complete drainage. 
Underneath the car, remove the 13 transmission sump bolts. 
H INSIDE INFORMATION: The sump is easily distorted, 
so,
 when refitting, tighten all bolts progressively and 
evenly to the recommended torque
 -
 see Chapter 3, 
Facts and Figures. B 
17.
 Check the level with the 
engine idling and the gear 
selector in the 'P' (PARK) 
position. Pull out the dipstick 
(A),
 wipe it clean with paper 
kitchen towel, re-insert it and 
check the level. The upper 
and
 lower marks on the dipstick represent minimum and 
maximum acceptable fluid levels.  

Job 8. Automatic gear selector 
control cable - replacement. 
• Step 4: 
Release the 
outer cable 
centring bush 
from its 
housing in the 
gearbox. 
• Step 5: H INSIDE INFORMATION! To 
do this, you will have to make a simple 
tool as shown here. There is no FIAT 
'special tool'
 -
 each dealer has to make 
this one himself! Use the tool to push 
lightly upwards, so that the cable 
centring bush (illustration Job
 6-4 
arrowed) comes out of its seat. B 
• Step 6: Fit the new cable in the reverse 
order. Use a new gasket when refitting the 
sump. 
IMPORTANT NOTE: Readjust the cables if 
necessary. See Jobs 7 and 8. 
Q Step 7: Refill the transmission with 
automatic transmission fluid. See Chapter
 3,
 Facts and 
Figures. 
Job 7. Kickdown cable (automatic 
transmission) - adjustment. 
Refer to the illustrations in Job 6. 
Q Step 1: Check that the slow running speed is correct and 
the accelerator cable is correctly adjusted, with just a small 
amount of slack. 
Q Step 2: Disconnect the kickdown cable from the idler 
pulley and ensure that it is perfectly free in its operation. 
• Step 3: With the selector lever in 'P', start the engine and 
let it idle. 
Q Step 4: Pull the inner cable by hand until resistance is felt, 
caused by the compression of the valves. The cable end should 
now line up with its locating slot in the idler pulley
 -
 if not, 
adjust nuts (7) and (8). 
[_l Step 5: Reconnect the cable and then switch off the 
engine. 
• Step 6: Check that when the accelerator pedal is hard 
down, there is
 1
 mm of further movement left on the 
kickdown cable, otherwise, make further adjustments on nuts 
(7) and (8). 
Refer to illustration Job 6, Step 3. 
• Step 1: Raise the car and support it securely on axle stands. 
• Step 2: Remove the cover from the gear selection 
mechanism and familiarise yourself with the drawing referred 
to here. 
Q Step 3: Manually select the 'P' (park) position, using the 
lever beneath the gearchange (see illustration Job
 6-3,
 part
 6). 
• Step 4: Disconnect the cable from the selector eyelet (3) 
and detach from the slot in the front end of the bracket (5). 
Q Step 5: Disconnect the inner cable from the gearlever (6) 
and release the outer casing from its gearbox mounted 
bracket (7). Remove the cable. 
Q Step 6: Ensure that 'P' (park) is still engaged by moving 
the gearlever (6
 -
 beneath the car) fully rearward. 
IMPORTANT NOTE: When 'Park' is properly engaged you 
will not be able to turn both front wheels in the same 
direction at the same time. This is because the trans-
mission should be 'locked' when 'park' is engaged. 
• Step 7: Connect the new cable at the bracket (7) and 
then at the bottom of the gear lever (6). 
• Step 8: Feed the other end of the cable through to the 
inside of the car and fix the outer casing into the slot in 
bracket (5). 
• Step 9: Put the interior selector lever (2) in the 'P' (park) 
position and with the inner cable taut, check that the eyelet 
(3) aligns perfectly with the selector pin. 
• Step 10: If necessary, slacken the adjustment nut (4) and 
adjust the position of the eyelet (3) accordingly. Fit the eyelet 
to the pin and tighten the nut (4). 
• Step 11: Check that the gears engage in their correct 
positions on the selector indicator.

 • Now that you have completed the 
installation, and BEFORE USING THE 
VEHICLE ON THE ROAD, carry out the 
following check: 
• The engine should only start when you have selected 
either 'P' (park), or 'N' (neutral). 
• The gear lever selector positions should agree with 
those indicated on the display panel. 
• When 'R' (reverse) is selected, the reverse light 
should come on. With the ignition switched off, the

gjpjgjjl 'READING' YOUR SPARK PLUGS 
Champion explain how the condition of spark plug firing ends can act as a guide to the state of tune and general condition of the engine. The examples shown are assumed to be the correct grade for the engine. 
NORMAL 
Core nose lightly coated with grey-brown deposits. Electrodes not burning unduly
 -
 gap increasing by about 0.01 mm every 1,000 miles approximately (with the use of unleaded fuel). Spark plugs correct for engine. 
OIL FOULING 
Deposits can short-circuit firing end, weakening or eliminating spark. Causes: worn valve guides, bores or piston rings, or while new engine is running-in. Replace spark plugs. Cure oiling problem. 
SPLIT CORE NOSE 
(May first appear as hair-line-crack). Probably caused by: Over-advanced ignition timing. Faulty distributor advance mechanism. Use of low octane fuel. Weak mixture. Manifold air-leaks. Cooling system problems. Incorrect gap-setting technique. 
HEAVY DEPOSITS 
Possible causes: Fuel or oil additives. Excessive upper cylinder lubricant. Worn valve guides. Unvarying speed (stationary engine). Replace spark plugs. 
OVERHEATING 
Likely causes are: Over-advanced ignition timing, or faulty distributor advance mechanism. Use of low octane fuel. Weak mixture. Discard spark plugs showing signs of overheating, and cure the cause. 
CARBON FOULING 
Look for dull black sooty deposits. (Unleaded fuel carbon fouling can appear similar to oil fouling). Deposits can short circuit the firing end, weakening or eliminating the spark. Check for: Over-rich mixture, faulty choke or clogged air filter. Replace spark plugs. 
INITIAL PRE-IGNITION 
Caused by serious overheating. Causes are those listed for overheating, but may be more severe. Corrective measures are urgently needed before engine damage occurs. Discard plugs in this condition. 
FACT FILE: CORRECT INSTALLATION 
• Make sure seating areas are perfectly clean. 
• Insert plug finger tight to seat. Ensure plug 'spins' freely. 
• PLUGS WITH SEATING GASKET: Tighten to relevant torque setting. 
• PLUGS WITH TAPER SEATS: Tighten a further l/16th turn ONLY - no further! 
• Overtightening can damage cylinder head or make taper seat plugs impossible to remove.
