Never use a fast batter y-charger to star t
the engine as this could damage the
electronic systems of your car, par ticularly
the ignition and fuel supply control units.
WARNING
This procedure must be performed by
exper t personnel because incorrect
actions could cause electrical discharge of
considerable intensity. Furthermore, battery
fluid is poisonous and corrosive: avoid contact
with skin and eyes. Keep naked flames and
lighted cigarettes away from the battery and do
not cause sparks.
BUMP STARTING
Never bump start the engine by pushing, towing or
coasting downhill.
IMPORTANT Remember that the brake servo and
electrical power steering system are not active until
the engine is started. A much greater effort will
therefore be required to use the brake pedal or turn
the steering wheel.
CHANGING A WHEELGENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
The car is equipped with the “FIX&GO Automatic
Kit”: see the paragraph “FIX&GO Automatic Kit” for
how to use this device. As an alternative to the
“FIX&GO Automatic Kit” the car may be equipped
with a space-saver wheel: see the instructions on the
following pages for changing the tyre.
WARNING
The space-saver wheel (for versions/
markets where provided) is specific to
your car, do not use it on other models, or use
the space-saver wheel of other models on your
car.The space-saver wheel must only be used
in case of emergency. It must only be used
for the distance necessary to reach a service
point and the car speed must not exceed 80
km/h.The space-saver wheel has an orange
sticker that summarises the main cautions for
use and limitations. Never remove or cover
the label.The following information is provided
in four languages on the label: "Important!
For temporar y use only! 80 km/h max! Replace
with a standard tire as soon as possible. Never
cover this indication." Never apply a wheel
cap on a space-saver wheel.

JACK
Important notes:
❒the jack weight is 1.76 kg;
❒the jack requires no adjustment;
❒the jack cannot be repaired and in the event of a
fault it must be replaced by another original one;
❒no tool other than its cranking device may be
fitted on the jack.
To change a wheel proceed as follows:
❒stop the car in a position that is not dangerous for
oncoming traffic where you can change the wheel
safely. The ground must be flat and sufficiently
compact;
❒switch off the engine, pull up the handbrake and
engage the 1

❒using the wrench A fig. 112 located in the tool
box, loosen the locking device, take the tool box B
and place it close to the wheel to be replaced.
Then take the space-saver wheel C;
❒take the wrench A fig. 113 and loosen the fixing
bolts by about one turn;
❒position the jack under the car, near the wheel to
be changed;❒operate the device A fig. 114 to extend the jack
until the top of the jack B fig. 115 fits correctly

in position 0 (off ), start the engine, plug into the
power socket in the central tunnel fig. 122 and
operate the compressor turning switch A to
position I (on). Inflate the tyre to the pressure
specified in the "Inflation pressure" paragraph in
the "Technical specifications" section. Check tyre
pressure on gauge B fig. 121 with compressor
off to obtain a more precise reading;
❒if after five minutes it is still impossible to reach at
least 1.8 bar, disengage the compressor from the
valve and power socket, then move the car
forwards by approx. ten metres in order
to distribute the sealing fluid inside the tyre evenly,
then repeat the inflation operation;

WARNING
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 drive any further: the quick
tyre repair kit cannot guarantee the correct
hold because the tyre is too damaged. Contact
a Fiat Dealership.
❒if a pressure value of at least 1.8 bar is detected,
restore the correct pressure (with the engine
running and the handbrake engaged), resume
driving and drive with great care to the nearest

WARNING
Whilst towing, remember that as the
assistance of the brake servo and the
electric power assisted steering is not available,
greater force needs to be exerted on the brake
pedal and more effort is required on the
steering wheel. Do not use flexible cables when
towing and avoid jerky movements. During
towing, make sure that the trailer hitch does not
damage any components it is touching.When
towing the car, it is compulsor y to respect
specific highway code regulations relating to
the tow hook and procedures for towing on the
road. Do not star t the engine while towing
the car.
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
distances using an appropriate device
in accordance with the highway code (a rigid
bar), to move the vehicle on the road in
readiness for towing or transporting 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
using cables or other non-rigid devices.
Respecting the above conditions, towing must
take place with the two vehicles (one towing,
the other towed) aligned as much as possible
along the same centre line.
WARNING
Do not use tow hooks for securing the
vehicle on ships.
