CAR INACTIVITY
If the car is to be left inactive for longer
than a month, the following precautions
should be noted:
❒park the car in covered, dry and if pos-
sible well-ventilated premises;
❒engage a gear;
❒ check that the handbrake is not en-
gaged;
❒disconnect battery terminals (first dis-
connect the negative terminal) and
check the battery charge. This check
is to be repeated every three months
when the car is left inactive. Recharge
if the optical indicator shows a dark
colour without the central green area;
❒ clean and protect the painted parts us-
ing protective wax;
❒clean and protect the shiny metal parts
using special compounds readily avail-
able.
❒sprinkle talcum powder on the rubber
windscreen and rear window wiper
blades and lift them off the glass;
❒slightly open the windows;
❒ cover the car with a cloth or perforat-
ed plastic sheet. Do not use sheets of
non-perforated plastic as they do not
allow moisture on the car body to
evaporate;
❒inflate tyres to +0,5 bar above the nor-
mal specified pressure and check it at
intervals;
❒ if you don’t disconnect the battery from
the electric system, check its charge
every month and recharge it if the op-
tical indicator shows a dark colour
without the central green area;
❒ do not drain the engine cooling system.IMPORTANT Where relevant, switch off
the electronic car alarm with the remote
control.

Turning the ignition key to MARthe
warning light turns on, but it should go off
after few seconds.
Low brake fluid level
The warning light turns on when the lev-
el of the brake fluid in the reservoir falls
below the minimum level, due to possi-
ble leak in the circuit.
The display will show the dedicated mes-
sage.BRAKE PAD
WEAR (red)

CORRECT USE
OF THE CAR
IN AN
EMERGENCY
To change a wheel proceed as follows:
❒Stop the car is a position that is not
dangerous for oncoming traffic where
you can change the wheel safely. The
ground should be flat and adequately
firm; turn the engine off and pull up the
handbrake; engage first gear or reverse;
use the handle A-fig. 2to remove the
piece of stiff cover B(saloon versions)
or C-fig. 3(Multi Wagon versions);
loosen the clamping device E-fig. 4;
fig. 2F0C0084m
Please note:
❒the jack weight is 1,76 kg; the jack re-
quires no adjustment; the jack cannot
be repaired: if it breaks it must be re-
placed with a new genuine jack; no tool
other than its cranking device may be
fitted on the jack.
The jack shall only be used
for changing wheels on the
car with which it is provided or on
cars of the same model. It must not
be used for other purposes such as for
instance raising cars of other models.
In no case should it be used for repairs
under the car. Incorrect positioning
of the jack may cause the jacked car
to fall. Do not use the jack for high-
er capacities than stated on its label.
Snow chains cannot be fitted to the
space-saver spare wheel. So, if a front
(drive) wheel is punctured and chains
are needed, a rear wheel should be
fitted to the front of the car and the
spare wheel should be fitted to the
rear. This way with two normal dri-
ve wheels, snow chains can be fitted
to them to solve an emergency.
WARNING
Fasten the wheel cap cor-
rectly to prevent the wheel
from coming free in motion. Never
tamper with the inflation valve. Nev-
er place tools between the rim and
tyre. Check and restore, if required,
the pressure of tyres and spare wheel
to the values given in section “Tech-
nical specifications”.

IT SHOULD BE NOTICED THAT:
The sealing fluid of the quick tyre repair
kit is effective with external temperatures
between –20 °C and +50 °C. INFLATING PROCEDURE
The compressor shall not be
operated for more than 20
minutes. Risk of overheating!. Tyres
repaired with the quick tyre repair kit
shall be used temporarily only.
WARNING
The cylinder contains ethyl-
ene glycol. The cylinder con-
tains latex: it can cause allergic re-
actions. It is harmful if ingested or in-
haled and irritant for the eyes and in
case of contact. In case of contact
rinse immediately with water and
take off contaminated clothes. If
swallowed, do not induce vomit, rinse
out the mouth, drink a lot of water
and call the doctor immediately.
Keep away from children. This prod-
uct must not be used by asthmatics.
Do not inhale vapours. Call the doc-
tor immediately in case of allergic re-
actions. Keep the cylinder in the
space provided for the purpose and
far from heat. The sealing fluid has
limited life. Replace the cylinder if
sealer has run out.
WARNING
fig. 14F0C0513m

provided together with quick
tyre repair kit.
WARNING
❒Pull up the handbrake. Loosen tyre
inflation valve cap, take out the filler
hose A-fig. 14and screw the ring nut
Bon the tyre valve;
Repairs are not possible in
case of damages on the
wheel rim (bad groove distortion
causing air loss). Do not remove for-
eign bodies (screws or nails) from the
tyre.

❒make sure the compressor switch E-
fig. 16is set to 0(off), start the en-
gine and fit plug D-fig. 15into the cig-
ar lighter outlet and then turn on the
compressor by setting switch E-fig. 16
to I(on). Inflate the tyre to the pres-
sure specified in paragraph “Cold tyre
inflation pressure” in section “Techni-
cal Specifications”. Check tyre pressure
on gauge F-fig. 16with compressor off
to obtain precise reading; ❒If after 5 minutes it is still impossible
to reach at least 1.5 bar, disengage com-
pressor from valve and current outlet,
then move the car forth for approx. ten
metres in order to distribute the seal-
ing fluid inside the tyre evenly, then re-
peat the inflation operation;
❒If after this operation it is still impossi-
ble after 5 minutes to reach at least 1.8
bar, do not start driving since the tyre
is excessively damaged and the quick
tyre repair kit cannot guarantee suit-
able sealing, contact Fiat Dealership;
fig. 15F0C0515mfig. 16F0C0516m
Apply the sticker in a visible
position for the driver to in-
dicate that the tyre has been treat-
ed with the quick tyre repair kit. Dri-
ve carefully especially when corner-
ing. Do not exceed 80 km/h. Avoid
heavy braking and accelerating.
WARNING
❒after driving for about 10 minutes stop
and check again the tyre pressure; pull
up the handbrake;
If the pressure falls below 1.8
bars, do not drive any fur-
ther: the quick tyre repair kit Fix & Go
automatic cannot guarantee proper
hold because the tyre is too much
damaged. Contact Fiat Dealership.
WARNING
❒If reaching the tyre pressure specified
in paragraph “Cold tyre inflation pres-
sure” in section “Technical Specifica-
tions”, start driving immediately;

❒if at least 1.8 bar pressure is read, re-
store proper pressure (with engine
running and handbrake on) and restart;
❒drive with the utmost care to the near-
est Fiat Dealership.
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.
WARNING
FOR CHECKING AND
RESTORING PRESSURE ONLY
The compressor can be also used just for
restoring pressure. Disconnect the quick
connection and connect it directly to the
tyre valve fig. 17; in this way the cylinder
is not connected to compressor and the
sealing fluid will not flow into the tyre. CYLINDER REPLACEMENT
PROCEDURE
To replace the cylinder proceed as fol-
lows:
❒disconnect connection B-fig. 18;
❒turn counter-clockwise the cylinder to
replace and raise it;
❒fit the new cylinder and turn it clock-
wise;
❒connect connection Bto the cylinder
and fit the transparent tube Ainto the
proper space.
