ROOF LIGHTSFRONT ROOF LIGHT WITH
SPOT LIGHTS
Switch A fig. 69 is used to switch on/off
roof lights. With the switch A in the
middle position, the lights C and D go
on/off when front doors are opened/
closed. With switch A pressed to the
left, the lights C and D are always
off. With switch A pressed to the right,
the lights C and D are always on.
Lights switch on/off progressively.
The switch B is a spot light; when the
roof light is off, it switches the following
on individually:
❒light C if pressed on the left side;
❒light D if pressed on the right side.IMPORTANT Before getting out of the
vehicle, make sure that both switches
are in the middle position; when the
doors are closed, the lights switch off
preventing the battery from running flat.
In any case, if the switch is left in on
position, the roof light switches off
automatically 15 minutes after
the engine switching off.
Roof light timing
On some versions, to facilitate getting
in/out of the vehicle at night or with
poor lighting, 2 different timed switching
on modes are available.
TIMED OPERATION FOR GETTING
INTO THE VEHICLE
The roof lights switch on according to
the following modes:
❒for around 10 seconds when the
front doors are unlocked;
❒for about 3 minutes when one of the
side doors is opened;

The timed period is interrupted when

IMPORTANT Reverse may only be
engaged when the vehicle is at a
standstill. With the engine running, wait
for at least 2 seconds with the clutch
pedal fully pressed before engaging
reverse to prevent damage to the gears
and grating.
To engage reverse R from neutral,
proceed as follows: raise sliding ring A
under the knob and at the same time
move the gear lever to the left and then
forwards.
127)34)
WARNING
127) Depress the clutch pedal fully
to change gear correctly. It is
therefore essential that there is
nothing under the pedals: make
sure the mats are lying flat and do
not get in the way of the pedals.
IMPORTANT
34) Do not drive with your hand
resting on the gear lever as the
force exerted, even if slight, could
lead over time to premature wear
of the internal gearbox
components. The clutch pedal
should be used only for gear
changes. Do not drive with your
foot resting on the clutch pedal,
however lightly. For versions/
markets where provided, the
electronic clutch pedal control
could cut in, interpreting the
incorrect driving style as a fault.

STARTING AND DRIVING

❒if after 10 minutes it is still impossible
to reach at least 3 bar, release the
transparent filler pipe from the valve
and take out the 12 V plug, then
move the vehicle forwards by about
10 metres in order to distribute
the sealing fluid inside the tyre evenly,
then repeat the inflation operation;❒if after this operation you still cannot
reach at least 3 bar after 10 minutes,
do not resume driving because the
tyre is too damaged and the quick
tyre repair kit cannot guarantee
suitable sealing. Contact a Fiat
Dealership;
❒if the tyre reaches the pressure
specified in “Inflation pressure”
paragraph in the "Technical Data"
section, start driving immediately;
❒after having driven for about
10 minutes, stop and recheck the
tyre pressure; remember to apply the
handbrake;❒if a pressure value of at least 3 bar is
detected, restore the correct
pressure prescribed in the paragraph
“Inflation pressure” in “Technical
specification” (with the engine
running and the handbrake
engaged), resume driving and drive
with care to nearest Fiat Dealership.194

WARNING
148) Give the instruction booklet to
the tyre repair workshop
personnel.
149) Punctures on the sides of the
tyre cannot be repaired. Do not
use the quick tyre repair kit if the
damage is due to running with flat
tyre.
150) If the wheel rim has been
damaged (bent so as to cause air
to leak), the wheel cannot be
repaired. Do not remove the
foreign body (screws or nails)
from the tyre.
151) Do not use the compressor for
more than 20 consecutive
minutes. Risk of overheating.
Tyres repaired with the quick tyre
repair kit must only be used
temporarily, as the kit is not
suitable for a definitive repair.152) The bottle contains ethylene
glycol. It contains latex that might
cause allergic reactions. It is
harmful if swallowed. It is irritant
for the eyes. It may cause
sensitisation if inhaled or on
contact. Avoid contact with eyes,
skin and clothes. In the event of
contact, wash immediately with
plenty of water. Do not induce
vomiting if swallowed. Rinse your
mouth and drink plenty of water.
Call a doctor immediately. Keep
out of the reach of children. The
product must not be used by
asthmatics. Do not breathe in the
vapours during insertion and
suction. Call a doctor immediately
if allergic reactions are noted.
Store the bottle in its proper
compartment, away from sources
of heat. The sealant has an expiry
date. Replace the bottle if the
sealant has expired.
153) Wear the protective gloves
provided together with the quick
tyre repair kit.
154) affix the adhesive label in an
easy-to-see position for the driver
as a reminder that the tyre has
been treated with the quick tyre
repair kit. Drive carefully,
particularly on bends. Do not
exceed 80 km/h. Do not
accelerate or brake suddenly.155) If the pressure falls below 3
bars, do not drive any further: the
Fix & Go automatic quick tyre
repair kit cannot guarantee proper
hold because the tyre is too much
damaged. Contact a Fiat
Dealership.
156) You must inform the dealership
that the tyre has been repaired
using the quick tyre repair kit.
Give the booklet to the personnel
who will be handling the tyre
treated with the repair kit.
157) If different tyres from the ones
supplied with the vehicle are
used, it may not be possible to
carry out the repair. If the tyres
are replaced, it is advisable to use
those approved by the
manufacturer. Consult a Fiat
Dealership.
