STARTING THE ENGINE
EMERGENCY STARTING
If the instrument panel warning light
Ystays on perma-
nently, contact a Fiat Dealership immediately.
JUMP STARTING
If the battery is flat, the engine may be started using an
auxiliary battery with an equal or slightly higher capacity
than the flat one.
IN AN EMERGENCY
In an emergency, we recommend that you call the freephone number found in the Warranty Booklet. You can
also go to the www.fiat.com website to find your nearest Fiat Dealership.
To do so, proceed as follows (fig. 128):
❒connect the positive terminals (+ sign near the termi-
nal) of the two batteries with a jump lead;
❒with a second lead, connect the negative terminal (–)
of the auxiliary battery to an earthing point Eon the
engine or the gearbox of the car to be started;
❒start the engine.
❒when the engine has been started, follow the sequence
above in reverse order to remove the leads.
If after a few attempts the engine does not start, do not
keep trying but contact a Fiat Dealership.
IMPORTANT Do not directly connect the negative ter-
minals of the two batteries: sparks could ignite explosive
gas released from the battery. If the auxiliary battery is
installed on another vehicle, prevent accidental contact
between metallic parts of the two vehicles.

INDEXStrictly avoid using a rapid battery charg-
er for jump starting: this could damage the
system electronics and the ignition and en-
gine supply control units.
This procedure must be performed by ex-
perts because incorrect actions may cause
considerable electrical discharge. Furthermore,
battery fluid is poisonous and corrosive: avoid con-
tact with skin and eyes. Keep naked flames and
lit cigarettes away from the battery. Do not cre-
ate sparks.
WARNING
BUMP STARTING
Never bump start the engine by pushing, towing or dri-
ving downhill. This could cause fuel to flow into the cat-
alytic converter and damage it beyond repair.
IMPORTANT Remember that the brake booster and the
power steering system are not active until the engine is
started, so you will need to apply much more force to
the brake pedal or steering wheel.
CHANGING A TYRE
The vehicle is originally equipped with the Fix&Go quick
tyre repair kit (see instructions in the next section). As
an alternative, the vehicle may have a normal-sized spare
wheel.
Wheel changing and correct use of the jack and spare
wheel call for some precautions, as listed below.

INDEXThe spare wheel (where provided) is
specifically for your vehicle. Therefore, it
must not be used on other models. Do not use
spare wheels of other models on your vehicle. The
spare wheel should be used only in an emergency.
Use it as little as possible.
WARNING
Use your hazard lights, warning triangle,
etc to show that your car is stationary.
Passengers should get out of the car, particularly
if it is heavily loaded, and wait for the wheel to
be changed away from the traffic. If you are on
a steep slope or uneven surface, place wedges or
other suitable objects under the wheels to secure
the vehicle. Repair and refit the standard wheel
as soon as possible. Do not grease the bolt threads
before you fit them, because they could sudden-
ly come loose.
WARNING
Use the jack only to replace wheels on the
vehicle with which it is supplied or on oth-
er vehicles of the same model. Never use the jack
for other purposes, such as lifting other models.
Never use 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 the one shown on its label.
WARNING
Incorrect hub cap assembly may cause it
to come off when the car is moving. Nev-
er tamper with the inflation valve. Never intro-
duce tools of any kind between the rim and the
tyre. Check tyre and spare wheel pressures regu-
larly, referring to the values shown in the “Tech-
nical specifications” section.

INDEXImportant notes:
❒ the jack weighs 4 kg;
❒the jack requires no adjustment;
❒the jack cannot be repaired; if it breaks, it must be re-
placed with a new one of the same type;
❒no tool other than the cranking handle may be fitted
on the jack.
To change a tyre, proceed as follows:
❒stop the vehicle in a position where it is not a danger
for other traffic and where you can replace the wheel
safely. The ground should be flat and solid;
❒turn the engine off and engage the handbrake;
❒engage first gear or reverse;
❒wear the reflective safety jacket (compulsory by law)
before getting out of the vehicle;
❒ indicate that the vehicle is parked up by using the de-
vices required by law in the country in which you are
travelling (e.g. warning triangle, hazard lights etc.);
❒for Cargo versions fig. 129: move the left front seat
forwards using lever A to take the tool box and place
it near the tyre to be changed;❒for Doblò/Doblò Combi versions fig. 130: open the rear
doors and take the tool box from the compartment in
the rear right side panel by releasing the elastic strap
from the buckle; place the tool box near the tyre to

A-fig. 136 near the tyre to be changed.
❒for versions with alloy wheels, remove the snap-fitted
hubcap;
❒loosen the fastening bolts of the wheel to be replaced by
about one turn, using the wrench provided;

❒loosen the fastening bolts completely and then remove
the wheel;
❒make sure the contact surfaces between spare wheel
and hub are clean so that the fastening bolts will not
come loose;
❒fit the standard wheel by inserting the first bolt two
threads B-fig 138 into the hole closest to the inflation
valve A;
❒fit the hubcap, making sure that the symbol Caligns
with the inflation valve, and then insert the other three
bolts.
❒tighten the bolts using the wrench provided;
❒turn the jack handle to lower the vehicle, and remove
the jack; ❒operate the jack with the handle and extend it so that
groove A-fig. 137 of the jack fits correctly onto lower
profile B on the sidemember;
❒warn anybody nearby that the vehicle is about to be
lifted. They must stay clear and not touch the vehicle
until it is back on the ground.
❒introduce the handle by pushing it into the hole in the
nut and into the plastic clip, operate the jack and lift
the vehicle until the wheel is a few centimetres off the
ground. When turning the crank, ensure that it rotates
freely in order to avoid grazing your hands against the
ground. The moving components of the jack (screws
and joints) can also cause injuries, so do not touch them.
Clean yourself thoroughly if you come into contact with
lubricating grease;

box.
❒position the tool box behind the left seat (Cargo ver-
sions) or inside the compartment in the rear right side
panel by resting the base of the box on the side
(Doblò/Doblò Combi versions);
❒secure the tool box with the elastic strap and fasten
it with the buckle. ❒use the wrench provided to tighten the bolts in a criss-
cross fashion in the order shown in fig. 139;
After tyre replacement
❒fix bracket A-fig. 140 to the wheel after passing it
through the hole, insert the threaded pin into one of
the bolt holes and secure by tightening knob B;
❒check that the wheel is stored correctly in the under-
floor housing (the friction of the lifting system limits
how far the wheel can travel. Incorrect positioning may
compromise safety);
