COMPACT SPARE TIRE
(if equipped)
1.Wear indicator
2.Indicator location mark
Your vehicle comes equipped with the
compact spare tire. The compact spare is
designed to save space in your storage area,
and its lighter weight makes it easier to in-
stall if a flat tire occurs. It is only intended
for temporary emergency use, until the
conventional tire can be repaired or re-
placed. The inflation pressure of the com-
pact spare tire should be checked at least
monthly. Use a quality pocket- type infla-
tion pressure gauge and set at 4.2 bar (60
psi). At the same time, check that the tire
is stored securely. If it is not, tighten it.
Note that two or more compact spare
tires should not be used on one vehicle si-
multaneously.
54G115
The compact spare tire and
wheel are intended for tem-
porary emergency use only. Continu-
ous use of this spare can result in tire
failure and loss of control. Always ob-
serve these precautions when using
this spare:
– Your vehicle will handle differently
with this temporary spare.
– Do not exceed 80 km/h (50 mph)
speed.
– Replace this spare with a standard
tire and wheel as soon as possible.
– Use of this spare will reduce ground
clearance.
o Recommended air pressure for this
spare is 4.2 bar (60 psi).
– Do not use tire chains on the com-
pact spare. If you must use tire
chains, rearrange the wheels so stan-
dard tires and wheels are fitted to the
front axle.
WARNING
– The compact spare tire has
a much shorter tread life
than the conventional tires on your
vehicle. Replace the tire as soon as
the tread wear indicator appears.
– When replacing the compact spare
tire, use a replacement tire with the
exact same size and construction.

❒Remove the wheel bolts and wheel.
❒Install the new wheel and replace the
wheel bolts with their cone shaped
end facing the wheel. Tighten each bolt
snugly by hand until the wheel is se-
curely seated on the hub. CHANGING WHEELS
To change a wheel, use the following pro-
cedure:
❒Remove the jack, tools and spare wheel
from the vehicle.
❒Loosen, but do not remove the wheel
bolts.
❒Jack up the vehicle (follow the jacking
instructions in the “EMERGENCY SER-
VICE” section)
– Be sure to shift into “R” (Re-
verse) in manual transaxle
when you jack up the vehicle.
– Never jack up the vehicle with the
transaxle in “N” (Neutral). Other-
wise, unstable jack may cause an ac-
cident.
WARNING
Tightening torque for wheel bolt
85 Nm (8.5 kgm, 61.5 lb-ft)
❒Lower the jack and fully tighten the
bolts to the specified torque in a criss-
cross fashion with a wrench as shown
in the illustration.

BATTERY
– Batteries produce flam-
mable hydrogen gas. Keep
flames and sparks away from the bat-
tery or an explosion may occur. Nev-
er smoke when working in the vicini-
ty of the battery.
– When checking or servicing the bat-
tery, disconnect the negative cable.
Be careful not to cause a short circuit
by allowing metal objects to contact
the battery posts and the vehicle at
the same time.
– To avoid harm to yourself or dam-
age to your vehicle or battery, follow
the jump starting instructions in the
“EMERGENCY SERVICE” section of
this manual if it is necessary to jump
start your vehicle.
WARNING
FULL WHEEL COVER
(if equipped)
1.or 2.Flat end tool
Your vehicle includes two tools, a wheel
brace and a jack crank, one of which has
a flat end.
Use the tool with the flat end to remove
the full wheel cap, as shown above.

When installing the cover, make sure that
it is positioned so that it does not cover
or foul the air valve.

211
Your vehicle is equipped with a battery
that requires infrequent maintenance. You
will never have to add water. You should,
however, periodically check the battery,
battery terminals and battery hold- down
bracket for corrosion. Remove corrosion
using a stiff brush and ammonia mixed with
water, or baking soda mixed with water.
After removing corrosion, rinse with clean
water.
The test indicator on the top of the bat-
tery provides information on the condi-
tion of the battery.
If your vehicle is not going to be driven for
a month or longer, disconnect the cable
from the negative terminal of the battery
to help prevent discharge.
FUSES
Your vehicle has three types of fuses, as
described below:
Main fuse
The main fuse takes current directly from
the battery.
Primary fuses
These fuses are between the main fuse and
individual fuses, and are for electrical load
groups.
Individual fuses
These fuses are for individual electrical cir-
cuits.
FUSES IN THE ENGINE
COMPARTMENT
The main fuse, primary fuses and some of
the individual fuses are located in the en-
gine compartment. If the main fuse blows,
no electrical component will function. If
a primary fuse blows, no electrical com-
ponent in the corresponding load group
will function. When replacing the main
fuse, a primary fuse or an individual fuse,
use a genuine Fiat replacement.

OK
BLOWN
If the main fuse or a primary
fuse blows, be sure to have
your vehicle inspected by an autho-
rized Fiat Dealership. Always use a
genuine Fiat replacement. Never use
a substitute such as a wire even for a
temporary repair, or extensive elec-
trical damage and a fire can result.
