BUMP STARTING
Never bump start the engine by pushing, towing or
coasting downhill.
This could cause fuel to flow into the catalytic
converter and damage it beyond repair.
IMPORTANT Remember that the servobrake and
electrical power steering system 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.IF A TYRE IS PUNCTURED
GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
For versions/markets where applicable, the car can be
fitted with a quick tyre repair kit called FIX & GO,
replacing the usual tool fitting, the spare wheel lifting
winch and the space-saver spare wheel.
Normal spare small wheel, or (where provided)
normal size spare wheel, can be supplied on request;
for its use, follow what indicated below.
VAN versions are fitted as standard with a spare
wheel with steel rim of the same type and size as the
standard wheels mounted on the car.
Wheel changing and correct use of the jack and space-
saver spare wheel call for some precautions as listed
below.
WARNINGAlert other drivers that the car is stationary in compliance 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 oncoming traffic
while the wheel is being changed. If parked on a slope or rough surface, chock the
wheels with wedges or other suitable devices to prevent the car from rolling.

❒if also in this case, after 5 minutes from turning the
compressor on it is still impossible 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 suitable sealing, contact Fiat
Dealership;
❒if the proper tyre pressure has been reached (see
paragraph “Inflation pressure” in section “Technical
Specifications”, start driving immediately;❒after driving for about 10 minutes stop and check
again the tyre pressure; pull up the handbrake;
WARNING
WARNING
WARNING
Apply the sticker in a visible position
for the driver to indicate that the tyre
has been treated with the quick tyre
repair kit. Drive carefully especially
when cornering. Do not exceed 80
km/h. Avoid heavy braking and
accelerating.
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. If the pressure falls below 1.8 bars, do
not drive any further: the quick tyre
repair kit Fix & Go automatic cannot
guarantee proper hold
because the tyre
is too much damaged.
Contact Fiat
Dealership.
❒if pressure read is at least 1.8 bar, restore proper
pressure (with engine running and handbrake on)
and restart;
❒drive with the utmost care to the nearest Fiat

Where possible, have the lamps changed by Fiat Dealership. Correct operation and aiming of external
lights are essential for safe driving in compliance with law regulations.Halogen bulbs must be handled touching only the metallic part. If the transparent bulb is touched
with the fingers, its lighting intensity is reduced and life of the bulb may be compromised. If touched
accidentally, rub the bulb with a cloth moistened with alcohol and allow to dry.
IF A BULB BURNS OUT
GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
❒Before changing a bulb check the contacts for
oxidation.
❒Burnt bulbs must be replaced by others of the same
type and power.❒Always check headlight aiming after changing a bulb
to ensure they are safe.
❒When a light is not working, check that the
corresponding fuse is intact before changing a bulb.
For the location of fuses, refer to the paragraph “If a
fuse blows” in this section.
Alterations or repairs to the electric system not carried out correctly and without
taking into account the system specifications may cause failures and the risk of
fire.WARNING
WARNINGHalogen bulbs contain pressurised gas, in the case of breakage they may burst.

Certain fuses are protected by a plastic grid.
To replace these fuses, first of all remove the grid
using a screwdriver. Replace the blown fuse and refit
the plastic grid.
To locate the fuse, refer to the tables on the following
pages.
FUSE BOX
The fuse box is located under the oddments tray on
the driver’s side.
The fuse location (n. 16 to n. 28) is not binding; to
replace a blown fuse, refer to the fuse colour that
must be the same as the fuse box colour.
To reach the fuses:
❒Raise the oddments tray compartment flap.
F0E0694m
The numbers indicating the electrical components
corresponding to each fuse can be seen on the inside
of the flap inner wall.
❒Take out the inner cover, rotating the two knobs
(A).
The group of fuses marked with letter (B) contains
spare filaments.
To facilitate fuse replacement, use the pliers (C)
located near the fuse box.
After use return pliers to their place.
IMPORTANT Never turn the ignition key to MAR
with a fuse removed; doing so would turn on warning
light
¬and the “fault” would be stored by the airbag
control unit. In such an event, go to Fiat Dealership to
reset the fault stored on the airbag control unit.
