STARTING
THE ENGINE
EMERGENCY START
Go to a Fiat Dealership immediately if
warning light Ycomes on steady on the
instrument panel.
STARTING THE ENGINE
WITH THE AUXILIARY
BATTERY
If the battery is down, the engine can be
started using an auxiliary battery having
the same capacity, or higher.
For engine starting follow the procedure
below, fig. 1.
❒Connect positive terminals (+near the
terminal) of the two batteries with a
jump lead;
❒With a second lead, connect the nega-
tive terminal (–) of the auxiliary battery
to an earthing point Eon the engine or
the gearbox of the vehicle to be start-
ed.
❒Start the engine.
❒When the engine has been started, fol-
low the sequence above in reverse or-
der to remove the leads.If after a few attempts the engine will not
start, do not insist but contact the near-
est Fiat Dealership.
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, prevent acci-
dental contact between metallic parts of
the two vehicles.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
booster and the power steering system
are not operating until the engine is start-
ed. A greater effort will, therefore, be re-
quired to press the brake pedal or turn
the steering wheel.
Never use a quick battery
charger for emergency start
operations: this might dam-
age the electronic system and
the engine start/supply control units.
This procedure must be per-
formed by expert personnel
because incorrect actions may cause
electrical discharge of considerable in-
tensity. Furthermore, 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.

Important notes:
❒the jack weight is 1.76 kg;
❒the jack requires no adjustment;
❒the jack cannot be repaired. If it breaks
it must be replaced with a new jack;
❒no tool other than the cranking device
has to be fitted on the jack.
To replace a tyre proceed as follows:
❒stop the vehicle in a position so that it
is not a danger for on-coming traffic in
a location where you can replace the
wheel safely. The ground must be flat
and compact.
❒Turn the engine off and pull up the
handbrake.
❒Engage first gear or reverse.
❒open the rear swing doors the luggage
compartment tailgate, take the tool bag

❒make sure that switch E-fig. 17on the
compressor is in position 0(off), start
the engine, plug into the socket D-fig.
16and operate the compressor turn-
ing switch E-fig. 17to position I(on).
Inflate the tyre to the pressure speci-
fied in the “Inflation pressure” para-
graph in the “Technical Specifications”
section. For a more accurate reading,
check the pressure on gauge F-fig. 17
with the compressor off:
❒if after 5 minutes it is still not possible
to reach at least 1.5 bar, disengage the
compressor from the valve and current
outlet, then move the vehicle forth for
approx. ten metres in order to distrib-
ute the sealing fluid inside the tyre even-
ly. Then, repeat the inflation operation;
❒if after this operation it is still not pos-
sible to reach at least 1.8 bar after 5
minutes, do not start driving since the
tyre is excessively damaged and the fast
tyre repair kit cannot guarantee suit-
able sealing. Contact the Fiat Dealer-
ship;
❒if the tyre is inflated at the pressure val-
ue specified in paragraph “Cold inflation
pressures”, “Technical Specifications”
section, start driving immediately;
❒After driving for about 10 minutes stop
and check the tyre pressure again; pull
up the handbrake.

Affix the adhesive label in an
easy-to-see position for the
driver as a reminder that the tyre has
been treated with the fast repair kit.
Drive carefully, particularly on bends.
Do not exceed 80 km/h. Do not ac-
celerate and brake suddenly.

❒If at least 1.8 bar pressure is read, re-
store proper pressure (with engine
running and handbrake on) and restart.
❒Drive with the utmost care to the near-
est Fiat Dealership.FOR CHECKING AND
RESTORING PRESSURE ONLY
The compressor may also be used for
restoring pressure only. Release the quick
coupling and connect directly to the tyre
valve fig. 19; in this way, the cylinder will
not be connected to the compressor and
no sealant will be injected. CYLINDER REPLACEMENT
PROCEDURE
To replace the cylinder proceed as fol-
lows:
❒disconnect connection B-fig. 20;
❒turn the cylinder anticlockwise to raise
and replace it;
❒fit the new cylinder and turn it clock-
wise;
❒plug connection Binto the cylinder and
fit the transparent tube Ainto the
proper space.
Stop the vehicle if the pres-
sure has dropped below 1.8
bars. The automatic Fix & Go fast re-
pair kit cannot work properly be-
cause the tyre is excessively damaged.
Go to a Fiat Dealership.
WARNING
Remember to inform the
workshop that the tyre has
been treated with a fast repair kit.
Give the instruction booklet to the
tyre repair workshop personnel.

IF A FUSE BLOWS
GENERAL
Fuses are protective devices for the elec-
tric system: they come into action (i.e. cut
off) mainly due to a fault or improper ac-
tion on the system.
When a specific device does not work cor-
rectly, check the efficiency of the corre-
sponding fuse. The conducting element
A- fig. 46must not be interrupted.
If it is, replace the blown fuse with a new
one having the same amperage (same
colour).
Bintact fuse.
Cfuse with broken conducting element.
To replace the fuse use the extractor D
positioned inside the tool box or the Fix
& Go kit container (for versions/markets,
where provided).
If the fuse blows out again,
contact the Fiat Dealership.
WARNING
Never replace a fuse with
another one having higher
amperage: FIRE HAZARD.
WARNING
Remove the key from the ig-
nition switch and switch off
all points of use before replacing a
fuse.
WARNING
If a general protection fuse
for safety systems (air bag
system, braking system), power unit
systems (engine system, transmission
system) or steering system is triggered,
contact a Fiat Dealership.
WARNING
If a general protection fuse
trips (MEGA-FUSE, MIDI-
FUSE), contact the Fiat Dealership.
WARNING
Never replace a blown fuse
with metal wires or other ma-
terial.

bles in the following pages.

IF THE VEHICLE NEEDS
TO BE TOWED
The tow ring supplied with the vehicle is
positioned in the tool in the boot.
HOOKING THE TOW
HOOK fig. 54-55
Proceed as follows:
❒release the cap A;
❒take the tow hook Bfrom the tool box;
❒tighten the hook on the rear or front
threaded pin.
fig. 54F0T0085m
fig. 55F0T0086m
Before starting towing oper-
ations, turn the ignition key
to MAR and then to STOP, without
extracting it. If the key is extracted,
the steering wheel lock will be auto-
matically activated, thus preventing
steering.
WARNING
During towing operations the
brake booster is not engaged.
Therefore, a heavier effort must be
made on the pedal. Do not use wires for
towing. Do not jerk. During towing op-
erations make sure not to damage parts
in contact with the vehicle. When tow-
ing the vehicle comply with the specific
rules of the Highway Code regarding the
towing device and the behaviour to
maintain on the road. Do not start the
engine while towing the vehicle.
WARNING
Clean the threaded seat care-
fully before fastening the ring.
Make sure that the ring is fully fastened
in the seat before towing the vehicle.
WARNING
Do not start the engine
when towing the vehicle.
WARNING
The front and rear tow hooks
must only be used for emer-
gency situations on the road.
The vehicle may be towed for
short distances when a dedicated de-
vice is used in compliance with the
Highway Code (rigid bar), in order to
move the vehicle on the road in prepa-
ration for towing by a tow truck Tow
hooks MUST NOT be used to tow ve-
hicles off the road or where there are
obstacles and/or for towing operations
using cables or other non-rigid devices.
Respecting the above conditions, tow-
ing must only take place with two ve-
hicles (one towing, the other towed)
travelling as far as possible in alignment
along the same centreline.
