IMPORTANT The engine must be running to use the
electric brake or a winch.
In addition to the electrical branches, the vehicle’s
electric system can only be connected to the supply
cable for an electric brake and to the cable for an
internal light, though not above 15 W. For connections
use the preset control unit with battery cable no less
than 2.5 mm
2.
IMPORTANT The trailer tow hook contributes to the
length of the vehicle. When installing on long wheelbase
versions, it is only possible to install removable tow
hooks because the total vehicle length limit of 6 metres
is exceeded.
If no trailer is fitted, the hook must be removed from
the attachment base and it must not exceed the
vehicle’s original length.IMPORTANT If you wish to leave the tow hook fitted
without towing a trailer, it is advisable to contact a Fiat
Dealership for the relevant system update operations
because the tow hook could be detected as an obstacle
by the central sensors.

SNOW CHAINS
The use of snow chains should be in compliance with
local regulations. The snow chains may be applied only
onto the front wheel tyres (drive wheels). Use of
Lineaccessori Fiat snow chains is recommended. Check
the tension of the snow chains after the first few metres
have been driven.
IMPORTANT With snow chains, use the accelerator
with extreme care to prevent or to limit as much as
possible slipping of the drive wheels which could cause
the chains to break resulting in damage to the car body
or mechanical components.
IMPORTANT Use reduced-size snow chains.
SNOW TYRES
Fiat Dealerships will be happy to provide advice
concerning the most suitable type of tyres for the
customer’s requirements. The performance of these
tyres is considerably reduced when the tread depth is
less than 4 mm. Replace them in this case. Due to snow
tyre features, under normal conditions of use or on long
motorway journeys, the performance of these tyres is
much lower than that of standard tyres. Limit
performance according to the use for which they were
certified.
IMPORTANT When using snow tyres with a maximum
speed index below the one that can be reached by the
vehicle (increased by 5%), place a notice in the
passenger compartment, plainly in view, which states the
maximum speed allowed by the snow tyres (as per EC
Directive).
All four tyres should be the same (brand and track) to
ensure greater safety when driving and braking and better
driveability. Remember that it is inappropriate to change
the rotation direction of tyres.
The max speed for snow tyres with “Q”
marking is 160 km/h; 190 km/h for tyres
with “T” marking and 210 km/h for tyres with H
marking. The Highway Code speed limits must
however be always strictly observed.
WARNING
Keep your speed down when snow
chains are fitted. Do not exceed
50 km/h. Avoid potholes, steps and
pavements and also avoid driving long
distances on roads not covered with
snow in order to prevent damaging the vehicle
and the roadbed.

On some versions the warning light turns on
when one or more doors or the tailgate are not
properly closed.
On some versions, the display shows a dedicated
message that indicates left/right front door or rear/load
compartment door opening.
A buzzer will sound when doors/tailgate are open and

Degraded engine oil should be replaced as
soon as possible after the warning light
comes on, and never more than 500 km after it
first comes on.
If the above instructions are not complied with,
the engine could be severely damaged and it may
invalidate the warranty. Please note also that the
switching on of this warning light does not depend
on the oil quantity in the engine; when the
warning light flashes, never add oil.
WARNING
EBD FAILURE (red)
(amber)
Warning lights
xand >lit at the
same time with the engine running,
indicate an EBD system failure or that the system is not

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.

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;
