ENGINE STARTING
JUMP STARTING
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.
Proceed as follows fig. 1:
❒Connect positive terminals (+ near the
terminal) of the two batteries with a
jump lead;
❒With a second lead, connect the nega-
tive terminal (–) of the auxiliary battery
and to an earthing point
Eon the en-
gine or the gearbox of the car to be
started;
❒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.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 car, prevent accidental contacts
between the metal parts of the two cars.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 servo-
brake and electrical power steering sys-
tem are not operating until the engine is
started, a greater effort will therefore be
required to press the brake pedal or turn
the steering wheel.
fig. 1F0C0194m
Under no circumstances
should a battery charger be
used to start the engine: it
could damage the electronic
systems and in particular the ignition
and injection control units.
Do not carry out this proce-
dure if you lack experience;
if it is not done correctly it can cause
very intense electrical discharges. In
addition, the fluid contained in the
battery is poisonous and corrosive.
Avoid contact with skin and eyes. You
are also advised not to put naked
flames or lighted cigarettes near the
battery and not to cause sparks.

IF A TYRE IS
PUNCTURED
GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
Wheel changing and correct use of the
jack and space-saver spare wheel call for
some precautions as listed below.
IMPORTANT If the car is fitted with “Fix
& Go (quick tyre repair kit)”, see the rel-
evant instructions in the following chap-
ter.
Alert other drivers that the
car is stationary in compli-
ance with local regulations: hazard
warning lights, warning triangle, etc.
Any passengers on board should leave
the car, especially if it is heavily laden.
Passengers should stay away from on-
coming traffic while the wheel is be-
ing changed. If parked on a slope or
rough surface, chock the wheels with
wedges or other suitable devices to
prevent the car from rolling.
WARNING
The space-saver spare wheel
(where provided) is specific
to your car, do not use it on other
models, or use the spare wheel of oth-
er models on your car. The space-
saver spare wheel shall only be used
in an emergency. It shall only be used
for the distance necessary to reach a
service point and the car speed shall
not exceed 80 Km/h. The spare wheel
has an orange sticker that summaris-
es the main cautions for use and lim-
itations. The sticker should never be
removed or covered. Never fit a wheel
cap on a space-saver spare wheel.
The sticker gives the following infor-
mation in four languages: caution! For
temporary use only! 80 km/h max!
Replace by normal wheel as soon as
possible. Do not cover this label.
WARNING
When driving with a space-
saver spare wheel fitted, the
driving performance of the car
changes. Avoid accelerating or brak-
ing sharply, abrupt turns or fast cor-
nerings. The life of the spare wheel
is approx. 3000 Km, after this dis-
tance it should be replaced with an-
other of the same type. Never at-
tempt to fit a conventional tyre on a
rim designed for use as a space-saver
spare wheel. Have the punctured
wheel repaired and refitted as soon
as possible. Two or more space-saver
spare wheels should never be used to-
gether. Do not grease the threads of
bolts before installing them: they
might slip out.

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”.
