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 Never connect the negative
terminals of the two batteries directly:
sparks could ignite explosive gas released
from the battery. If the auxiliary battery is
installed on another vehicle, avoid any
metal parts on the latter and the vehicle
with the flat battery from accidentally
coming into contact.
BUMP STARTING
Never jump start the engine by pushing,
towing or driving downhill. This could
cause a flow of fuel into the catalytic con-
verter and damage it beyond repair.
IMPORTANT Remember that the brake
servo and the power steering system are
not activated until the engine is started, a
greater effort will therefore be required
to press the brake pedal or turn the steer-
ing wheel.CHANGING

it does not present a danger for on-
coming traffic and where you can
change the wheel safely. The ground
must be flat and compact;
❒turn the engine off and apply the hand-
brake;
❒engage first gear or reverse;
❒wear a high visibility safety jacket
(compulsory by law in certain coun-
tries) before getting out of the vehicle;
❒indicate that the vehicle has broken
down using the devices required by

the jack to carry out repairs under the
vehicle. Incorrect positioning of the
jack may cause the lifted vehicle to
fall. Do not use the jack for loads
higher than those shown on the label.

❒fully tighten the bolts, passing alterna-
tely from one bolt to the opposite
one, following the order illustrated in
fig. 9a.
When the operation is over:
❒take the wheel replaced, refit it on the
support E-fig. 7and tighten the knob
D-fig. 7;
❒introduce the wheel wrench on the
bolt fig. 5a-5band turn it clockwise
to allow the spare wheel to be raised

and joints) could cause injury: do not
touch them. If you come into contact with
lubricating grease, clean yourself thor-
oughly;
❒fully unscrew the bolts using the span-
ner F-fig. 8and extract the wheel;
❒fit the spare wheel, making sure that
the openings G-fig. 9aare aligned
