Please note that:
❒the jack weight is 4.5 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 its cranking device may be fitted
on the jack.
Repair and refit the standard wheel as
soon as possible. Do not apply grease to
the bolt threading before assembly: they might
come unscrewed.
WARNING
The jack may only be used to replace
wheels on the car which it equips or
other cars of the same model. Never use the
jack for other purposes, such as lifting other car
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 those shown
on the label.
WARNING
Never tamper with the inflation valve.
Never introduce tools of any kind
between rim and tyre. Check tyre and spare
wheel pressure regularly referring to the values
shown in the “Technical Specifications” section.
WARNING
No tools other than the crank provided
should be used with the spare wheel
lifting device; it should be operated by hand
only.
WARNING
To change a wheel proceed as follows:
❒stop the vehicle in a position where it does not pose
a danger for on-coming traffic and where you can
replace the wheel safely. The ground must be flat
and sufficiently compact;
❒turn the engine off and pull up the handbrake;
❒engage first gear or reverse;
❒wear the reflecting safety jacket (compulsory by law
in certain countries) before getting out of the
vehicle;

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).

confuse the various
types of fluids: they are all
incompatible with one another
and could seriously damage the
vehicle.
1. Engine coolant fluid
2. Power steering fluid

The range between the MIN. and MAX. marks
corresponds to about 1 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 fig. 219-220-221
Check the oil level a few minutes (about 5) after the
engine has stopped, with the vehicle parked on level
ground.
Check that the level is within the MIN and MAX marks
on the dipstick B.

ENGINE OIL CONSUMPTION
The maximum engine oil consumption is usually
400 grams every 1,000 km.
When the vehicle is new, the engine needs to be run in,
therefore the engine oil consumption can only be
considered stabilised after the first 5,000 – 6,000 km.
IMPORTANT The oil consumption depends on the
driving style and the conditions under which the vehicle
is used.
IMPORTANT After adding or changing the oil, let the
engine run for a few seconds and wait a few minutes
after switching it off before checking the level.
When the engine is hot, take care when
working inside the engine compartment
to avoid burns. Remember that when the engine
is hot, the fan may cut in: danger of injury. Pay
attention to scarves, ties and other loose fitting
garments: they might get caught by moving
components.
WARNING
Do not add any oil with different
specifications to those of the existing
engine oil.
The used engine oil and the replaced oil
filter contain substances that may be
dangerous for the environment. It is
advisable to have oil and filters changed by a Fiat
Dealership where they will be disposed respecting
the environment and according to legal
regulations.
