STARTING THE ENGINEEMERGENCY START-UP
If the Fiat CODE system fails to deactivate engine immo-
bilising system the instrument panel warning lights
Y
and
U
stay on and the engine cannot be started.
To start the engine the emergency start-up can be per-
formed.
Read the whole procedure carefully before trying to car-
ry it out: if you make a mistake, you need to turn the ig-
nition key back to STOP and repeat the whole operation
from the beginning.
Proceed as follows:
❒
read the five-digit electronic code from the CODE card;
❒
turn the ignition key to MAR;
❒
press and hold down the accelerator pedal: the warn-
ing light
U
turns on for about 8 seconds, and then goes
off;
❒
release the accelerator pedal and count the flashes of
the warning light
U
;
❒
count the number of flashes that corresponds to the
first digit of the code on the CODE card, then press the
accelerator pedal and hold it there until the warning
light
U
comes on (for 4 seconds) and then goes off. Re-
lease the accelerator pedal;
CORRECT USE
OF THE CAR
❒
the warning light
U
will start flashing again: after it has
flashed the number of times corresponding to the
second digit on the CODE card, fully depress the ac-
celerator pedal and hold it there;
❒
do the same for the remaining digits on the CODE card;
❒
once the last digit has been entered, hold the acceler-
ator pedal pressed. The warning light
U
will light up for
four seconds and then go out. Release the accelerator
pedal;
JUMP STARTING fig. 120
If the battery is flat, the engine may be started using an aux-
iliary battery with the same capacity or a little higher than
the flat one.

Never use a fast battery-charger to start the
engine as this could damage the electron-
ic systems of your car, particularly the ig-
nition and fuel supply control units.This procedure must be performed by qual-
ified personnel as incorrect actions may
cause high-intensity electrical discharge. Further-
more, battery fluid is poisonous and corrosive: avoid
contact with your skin and eyes. Keep naked flames
away from the battery. No smoking. Do not cause
sparks.
WARNING
If after a few attempts the engine does not start, do not
insist rather contact the nearest Fiat Dealership.
IMPORTANT Do not directly connect the negative ter-
minals of the two batteries: any sparks may ignite the det-
onating gas which could come out of the battery. If the aux-
iliary battery is installed on another car, prevent any contact
between metal parts of the cars and the flat battery.
BUMP STARTING
Never bump start the engine by pushing, towing or driving
downhill.
This could cause a flow of fuel into the catalytic convert-
er and damage it beyond repair.
IMPORTANT Remember that the servo-brake and elec-
trical power steering system (for versions/markets where
provided) 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. Proceed as follows to start the car:
❒
connect the positive terminals (+ sign close to the ter-
minal) of both batteries using a lead;
❒
with a second lead, connect the negative terminal − of
the auxiliary battery to an earthing point
E
on the en-
gine 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.

Please note that:❒
the jack weights 1.76 kg;
❒
the jack requires no adjustment;
❒
the jack cannot be repaired. If it breaks it must be re-
placed with a new jack;
❒
no tool other than its cranking device may be fitted on
the jack.
To change a wheel proceed as follows:
❒
stop the car in a position so that it is not a danger for
on-coming traffic and where you can replace the wheel
safely. The ground must be flat and compact;
❒
turn the engine off and pull up the handbrake.
❒
engage the first gear or reverse;
❒
lift the boot mat A-fig. 121;
Fasten the wheel cup correctly to prevent
the wheel from coming free in motion.
Never tamper with the inflation valve. Never in-
troduce tools of any kind between rim and tyre.
Regularly check tyre and space-saver wheel pres-
sure, complying with the data in the chapter
“Technical specifications”.
WARNING
The jack shall only be used for changing
wheels on the car with which it is provid-
ed or on cars of the same model. Never use the
jack for other purposes, such as lifting other car
models. In no case should it be used for repairs un-
der the car. Incorrect positioning of the jack may
cause the jacked car to fall. Do not use the jack
for loads higher than those shown on the label.
Snow chains cannot be fitted to the space-saver
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 space-saver wheel
should be fitted to the rear. This way with two
standard drive wheels, snow chains can be fitted
to them to solve an emergency.

❒
make sure that the compressor switch D-fig. 135 is in
position 0 (off), start the engine, fit the plug E-fig. 136
in the 12 V-socket in the central tunnel and operate the
compressor turning the switch D-fig. 135 to position I
(on). Inflate the tyre at the pressure value specified in
paragraph “Inflation pressure” in chapter “Technical
specifications”.
For a more accurate reading, check pressure gauge
F-fig. 135 with the compressor off;
❒
if after five minutes it is still impossible to reach at least
1.5 bar, disengage the compressor from the valve and
current socket, then move the car forth for approx. ten
metres in order to distribute the sealing fluid inside
the tyre evenly, then repeat the inflation operation;
INFLATING PROCEDURE
Replace the bottle containing out of date
sealant fluid. Dispose of the bottle and the
sealant liquid properly. Dispose according
to the national and local regulations in force.Put on the protection gloves provided to-
gether with quick tyre repair kit.
WARNING
❒
Ensure that the handbrake is engaged. Remove the tyre
valve cap, extract the flexible filler tube A-fig. 134 and
fasten the ring B onto the tyre valve;

❒
if after this operation it is still not possible to reach at
least 1.8 bar after five minutes, do not start driving since
the tyre is excessively damaged and the fast tyre re-
pair kit cannot guarantee suitable sealing. Contact
a Fiat Dealership;
❒
if the tyre reaches the pressure specified in “Inflation
pressure” paragraph in the “Technical Specifications”
chapter, start driving immediately;
Apply the adhesive label in a position
clearly visible by the driver as a reminder
that the tyre has been treated with the quick re-
pair kit. Drive carefully, particularly on bends. Do
not exceed 80 km/h. Do not accelerate and brake
suddenly.
WARNING
❒
after driving for about 10 minutes stop and check the
tyre pressure again; remember to engage the handbrake;
If the pressure falls below 1.8 bar, 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
a Fiat Dealership.
WARNING
❒
if at least 1.8 bar pressure is read, restore proper pres-
sure (with engine running and handbrake on) and
restart;
❒
drive with the utmost care to the nearest Fiat Dealer-
ship.
