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 for-
wards 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
be changed;

❒ If you get a pressure reading of at least 1.8 bar, restore
the proper pressure (with engine running and handbrake
on) and continue your journey.
❒ drive with the utmost care to the nearest Fiat Dealer-
ship.
❒
after driving for about 10 minutes, stop and check the
tyre pressure again; remember to put the handbrake
on;
Apply the adhesive label where it can be
easily seen by the driver as a reminder that
the tyre has been treated with the quick repair kit.
Drive carefully, particularly on bends. Do not ex-
ceed 80 km/h. Do not accelerate or brake sud-
denly.
WARNING
If the pressure has fallen below 1.8 bar, do
not drive any further: the automatic
Fix&Go quick tyre repair kit cannot guarantee
proper hold because the tyre is too damaged.
Contact a Fiat Dealership.
WARNING
Remember to inform the workshop that
the tyre has been treated with a quick re-
pair kit. Give the instruction booklet to the per-
sonnel charged with handling the treated tyre.

INDEXRECHARGING THE BAT T ERY
IMPORTANT The battery recharging procedure is pro-
vided for information purposes only. You are recom-
mended to go to a Fiat Dealership to have this operation
performed.
We recommend recharging the battery slowly for ap-
proximately 24 hours at low amperage. A prolonged
recharge might damage the battery.
Charge the battery as follows:
F0V0381mfig. 177b
WITHOUT START&STOP SYSTEM
❒disconnect battery negative terminal;
❒ connect the charger cables to the battery terminals,
observing the polarity;
❒ turn on the charger;
❒ when you have finished, turn the charger off before dis-
connecting it from the battery;
❒ reconnect negative battery terminal.
IF THE START&STOP SYSTEM IS INSTALLED
Versions with dummy pole fig. 177b
❒disconnect the quick release negative terminal A from
the dummy negative terminal B; this is because a battery
status monitoring sensor D is fitted on the negative bat-
tery terminal C and should never be disconnected ex-
cept for when the battery is actually replaced;
❒ connect the positive cable of the charger to the posi-
tive pole of the battery and the negative cable to the
dummy negative terminal B;
❒ turn on the charger;
❒ when you have recharged, turn the charger off before
disconnecting it from the battery;
❒ after disconnecting the charger, reconnect the quick
release negative A to the dummy terminal B.

Before towing, turn the ignition key to
MAR and then to STOP without extract-
ing it. The steering column will automatically lock
when the key is removed, making it impossible to
turn the wheels.
WARNING
Before tightening the ring, clean the
threaded housing thoroughly. Before tow-
ing the vehicle, make sure that the tow ring is ful-
ly tightened in its appropriate housing.
Never start the engine when the vehicle is being
towed.
WARNING
Remember that, while being towed, you
will need to brake harder because there
will be no assistance from the brake booster. Do
not use bendy cables for towing and avoid jerking.
During towing operations, make sure that the fas-
tened joint does not damage adjoining compo-
nents. When towing the vehicle, comply with the
specific rules of the highway code regarding the
towing device and road conduct. Do not start the
engine while being towed.
WARNING
The front and rear tow hooks should be
used only for emergencies on the road. You
are allowed to tow the car for short dis-
tances using an appropriate device in accordance
with the highway code (a rigid bar), to move the ve-
hicle on the road in readiness for towing or trans-
porting via a breakdown vehicle. Tow hooks MUST
NOT be used to tow vehicles off the road or where
there are obstacles and/or for towing operations us-
ing cables or other non-rigid devices. Respecting the
above conditions, towing must take place with two
vehicles (one towing, the other towed) aligned as
much as possible along the same centre line.

ENGINE OIL fig. 180-181-182-183-184-185
Check the oil level a few minutes after stopping the engine
(about 5 minutes) with the vehicle parked on level ground.
The oil level should be between the MIN and MAX marks
on the dipstick B.
The gap between the MIN and MAX marks corresponds
to about one litre of oil.
If the oil level is near or under the MIN line, add oil through
the filler A until it reaches the MAX line.
The oil level should never exceed the MAX line.
Engine oil consumption
The maximum engine oil consumption is usually 400 grams
every 1,000 km.
The engine needs to run in when the vehicle is new, and
therefore the engine oil consumption can only be consid-
ered stabilised after the first 5,000 – 6,000 km.
IMPORTANT Oil consumption depends on driving style
and conditions of use of the vehicle.
IMPORTANT After adding or changing the oil, let the en-
gine turn over for a few seconds and wait a few minutes
after turning it off before you check the level.

Be very careful working in the engine com-
partment when the engine is hot: you may
get burned. Remember that the fan may start up
if the engine is hot: this could injure you. Make
sure that scarves, ties and other items of loose-fit-
ting clothing do not get caught up in moving com-
ponents.
WARNING
Do not add oil with different characteris-
tics from those of the existing engine oil.
The used engine oil and the replaced oil fil-
ter contain substances that are harmful to
the environment. It is advisable to have oil
and filters changed by a Fiat Dealership, where they
will be disposed of properly and in accordance with
the law.

IMPORTANT NOTES
❒ Where possible, avoid braking suddenly, wheel-spinning
and crashing into kerbs, potholes or other obstacles.
Long distances on uneven roads can damage the tyres;
❒ check the tyres regularly for cuts on the sides, swelling
or irregular tread wear. Go to a Fiat Dealership if re-
quired.
❒ avoid overloading the car when travelling: this may cause
serious damage to the wheels and tyres;
❒ if a tyre is punctured, stop the vehicle immediately and
change it to avoid damage to the tyre, the rim, and the
suspension and steering systems;
❒ a tyre will age even if it is not used much. Cracks in
the tread and on the sidewalls are a sign of ageing. In
any event, have the tyres checked by specialised per-
sonnel if they have been fitted for longer than six years.
Remember to check the spare wheel very carefully;
❒ In case of replacement, always fit new tyres, avoidingWHEELS AND TYRES
Check the pressure of each tyre, including the spare, every
two weeks and before long journeys. The pressure should
be checked with the tyre rested and cold.
It is normal for the pressure to increase when the vehi-
cle is used; for the correct tyre inflation pressure, see
“Wheels” in the “Technical specifications” section.
Incorrect pressure causes abnormal tyre wear fig. 186:
A normal pressure: tread evenly worn.
B low pressure: tread particularly worn at the edges.
C high pressure: tread particularly worn in the centre.
The tyres must be replaced when the tread is less than 1.6
mm thick. In all cases, follow the laws in force in the coun-
try where you are driving.
