STARTING
EMERGENCY START-UP
If the instrument panel warning light
Yturns on glowing steadily, contact im-
mediately Fiat Dealership.
JUMP STARTING fig. 1-2
If the battery is flat, it is possible to start
the engine using an auxiliary battery with
the same capacity or a little higher than
the flat one.
Contact Fiat Dealership to have the bat-
tery checked/replaced.Proceed as follows:
❒lift the lid Ato connect to the battery
positive terminal fig. 1.
❒connect positive terminals (+near
the terminal) of the two batteries
with a jump lead;
❒connect with a second cable the nega-
tive terminal (–) of the auxiliary battery
to the ground point as shown in fig. 2;
❒start the engine;
❒when the engine has been started, re-
move the leads reversing the order
above.
If after a few attempts the engine does not
start, do not insist but contact the near-
est Fiat Dealership.
fig. 1F0N0075m
The starting procedure must
be carried out by qualified
personnel because incorrect opera-
tions may cause electrical discharge of
considerable intensity. The liquid con-
tained in the battery is poisonous and
corrosive. Avoid contact with the skin
and eyes. Keep naked flames and light-
ed cigarettes away from the battery
and do not cause sparks.

IMPORTANT Do not directly connect the
negative terminals of the two batteries:
sparks could ignite the flammable gas from
the battery. If the other battery is fitted in
another vehicle, prevent accidental con-
tacts between the metal parts of the two
vehicles.BUMP STARTING
Never bump start the engine (by pushing,
towing, or coasting downhill) as this could
cause fuel to flow into the catalytic ex-
haust system and damage it beyond repair.
IMPORTANT Remember that the brake
booster and the power steering system
are not operating until the engine is start-
ed, a greater effort will therefore be re-
quired to press the brake pedal or turn
the steering wheel.IF A TYRE
IS PUNCTURED
GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
Wheel changing and correct use of the
jack and spare wheel call for some pre-
cautions as listed below.
Alert other drivers that the
vehicle is stationary in com-
pliance with the regulations in force:
hazard warning lights, warning trian-
gle etc. Any passengers on board
should leave the vehicle, especially if
it is heavily laden. Passengers should
stay away from oncoming traffic
while the wheel is being changed on.
Pull the handbrake.

❒wear the reflecting safety jacket (com-
pulsory by law in certain countries) be-
fore getting out of the vehicle;
❒alert other drivers that the vehicle is
stationary, using the proper devices in
compliance with the regulations in
force (e.g.: warning triangle, hazard
warning lights, etc …);
❒take the extension and the wrench
from the tool bag under the passen-
ger’s seat (see “Compartment under
the front passenger’s seat” in section
“dashboard and controls”);
❒loosen one turn the bolts of the wheel
to change;
❒turn the ring nut to extend the jack
partially;
❒set the jack near the lifting support
close to the wheel to change in the
points shown in fig. 3.
For short wheelbase versions with re-
tractable footboard, the jack shall be
set in the point shown in fig. 4andshall be suitably directed (45°) to avoid
interference with the retractable foot-
board;
❒warn anybody nearby that the vehicle
is about to be lifted. They must stay
clear and not touch the vehicle until
it is back on the ground.

store proper pressure specified in
paragraph” Tyre pressure” in section
“Technical Specifications” (with engine
running and handbrake on) and
restart;
❒drive with the utmost care to the

FOR CHECKING AND
RESTORING PRESSURE ONLY
The compressor can be also used just for
restoring pressure. Disconnect the quick
connection Cand connect it directly to
the tyre valve fig. 15; in this way the cylin-
der is not connected to compressor and
the sealing fluid will not flow into the tyre.
NOTE If the tyre shall be deflated, con-
nect quick connection Cto the tyre valve
and press the yellow button set in the mid-
dle of the compressor switch.CYLINDER REPLACEMENT
PROCEDURE
To replace the cylinder proceed as fol-
lows:
❒disconnect connection A-fig. 17;
❒turn counter-clockwise the cylinder
to replace and raise it;
❒fit the new cylinder and turn it clock-
wise;
❒fit connection Aand connect tube B
into its seat.
It is of vital importance to
communicate that the tyre
has been repaired using the quick tyre
repair kit. Hand the instruction
brochure to the personnel charged
with treating the tyre repaired with
the kit.

vehicle tyres other than the
standard ones and in any case other
than 215/70 R15 CP 109 Q Camping
and 225/75 R16 CP 116 Q Camping,
to inflate tyre, raise the vehicle with
the jack before operating the com-
pressor (see paragraph “If a tyre is
