REPLACING A WHEEL
GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
Wheel changing and correct use of the jack and spare
wheel (for versions/markets where provided) call for
some precautions, which are listed below. Proceed as follows to start the car:
❒raise the flap A to gain access to the positive battery
terminal fig. 157.
❒connect the positive terminals (+ sign near the
terminal) of the two batteries with a jump lead;
❒connect the negative terminal (–) of the auxiliary
battery to the earth point with a second cable as
shown in fig. 158;
❒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
persist but contact the nearest Fiat Dealership.
IMPORTANT Do not directly connect the negative
terminals of the two batteries: any sparks may ignite the
explosive gas which could come out of the battery.
If the auxiliary battery is installed on another vehicle,
prevent any metal parts on the latter and the vehicle
with the flat battery from accidentally coming into
contact.
BUMP STARTING
Never bump start the engine by pushing, towing or
driving downhill. This could cause a flow of fuel into the
catalytic converter 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 steering wheel.Indicate that the vehicle is stationary
according to the regulations in force:
emergency lights, refracting warning triangle,
etc. Passengers should leave the vehicle,
particularly if it is very loaded, and wait for the
wheel to be changed away from on-coming
traffic. Apply the handbrake.
WARNING
The spare wheel (for versions/markets
where provided) is specific for your
vehicle. Therefore, it must not be used on
vehicles of a different model. Do not use spare
wheels of different models on your vehicle. The
wheel bolts are specific to your vehicle: do not
use them on other models and do not use bolts
of other models.

RAISING THE VEHICLE
If the vehicle needs to be lifted, go to a Fiat Dealership
which is equipped with arm hoists or workshop lifts.
The vehicle must only be raised laterally by placing the
ends of the arms or workshop lift in the areas shown in
fig. 211.
Do not start the engine whilst the
vehicle is being towed.
WARNING
Before towing, switch off the steering lock
(see „Starting device“ paragraph under the
„Dashboard and controls“ chapter). The brake
servo and power steering will not work while the
vehicle is being towed. More effort on the brake
pedal and steering wheel will therefore be
required. Do not use flexible cables when towing
and avoid jerky movements. During towing
operations, make sure that the fastened joint does
not damage adjoining components. When towing
the vehicle comply with the specific rules of the
Highway Code regarding both the towing device
and the behaviour to maintain on the road.
WARNING
TOWING THE VEHICLE
The vehicle is equipped with two rings for attaching the
tow hook.
The front ring is located in the tool box beneath the
passenger side seat. On versions with Fix&Go kit and
without spare wheel, the tool box is available only on
request for versions/markets where provided. In the
absence of the tool box the vehicle tow hook is housed
in the on-board documentation container, together with
the Owner Handbook.

MAINTENANCE AND CARE
SCHEDULED SERVICING
Correct servicing is essential for ensuring long vehicle
life under the best conditions.
This is why Fiat has planned a series of checks and
maintenance operations every 48,000 km.
The scheduled maintenance programme does not,
however, cover all the vehicle requirements; during the
initial period, before the 48,000 kilometre service and
later on, between services, routine operations must be
carried out like systematically checking and topping up
fluid levels, checking the tyre inflation pressure, etc.IMPORTANT Scheduled Servicing coupons are specified
by the Manufacturer. Failure to have them carried out
may invalidate the warranty.
Schedule servicing can be carried out by any Fiat
Dealership, at pre-established times.
If there is a need for further replacements or repairs
during any operation in addition to those planned, prior
consent of the Customer must be obtained first.
IMPORTANT It is advisable to contact a Fiat Dealership
in the event of any minor operating failure, without
waiting for the next service coupon.
If your vehicle is used frequently for trailer towing, the
interval between scheduled maintenance services must
be reduced.

DEMANDING VEHICLE USE
If the vehicle is mostly used in one of the following
conditions:
❒trailer or caravan towing;
❒dusty roads;
❒short distances (less than 7-8 km) and with external
temperatures below zero;
❒frequently idling engine or long distance low speed
driving or in the case of long term inactivity;
the following checks must be carried out more often
than indicated in the Scheduled Servicing Plan:
❒check front disc brake pad conditions and wear;
❒check cleanliness of bonnet and boot locks and lever
cleanliness and lubrication;
❒visually inspect the conditions of: engine, gearbox,
transmission, pipes and tubes (exhaust – fuel
– brakes), rubber parts (boots, sleeves, bushes, etc.);
❒check battery charge and liquid level (electrolyte);
❒visual check on various drive belt conditions;
❒check and if necessary change engine oil and oil filter.
PERIODIC CHECKS
Before long journeys, check and, if necessary, restore:
❒engine coolant fluid level;
❒brake fluid level;
❒windscreen washer fluid level;
❒tyre pressure and conditions;
❒operation of lights (headlights, direction indicators,
hazard lights, etc.);
❒operation of the windscreen wiper/washer system,
position and wear of the windscreen and rear
window wiper blades.
To ensure that the vehicle is always efficient and well
maintained, it is advisable to make sure that you carry
out the above operations regularly (approximately
every 1000 km and every 3000 km for checking and
topping up engine oil is advisable).
