162)Halogen bulbs contain pressurised
gas, in the case of breakage they may
burst causing glass fragments to be
projected outwards.
163)Only replace bulbs when the engine is
off. Also ensure that the engine is cold, to
prevent the risk of burns.
IMPORTANT
30)Where possible, it is advisable to have
bulbs changed at a Fiat Dealership. Proper
operation and direction of the external
lights are essential for driving in safety and
comply with law.
31)Halogen bulbs must be handled
holding the metallic part only. Touching the
transparent part of the bulb with your
fingers may reduce the intensity of the
emitted light and even reduce the lifespan
of the bulb. In the event of accidental
contact, wipe the bulb with a cloth
moistened with alcohol and let the bulb dry

protection cover;
pull the fuse straight out with the fuse
puller provided on the fuse block
located in the engine compartment
fig. 121;
inspect the fuse and replace it if it is
blown;
insert a new fuse of the same
amperage rating, and make sure it fits
tightly. If it does not fit tightly, contact a
Fiat Dealership. If you have no spare
fuses, borrow one of the same rating
from a circuit not essential to vehicle
operation, such as the AUDIO or
OUTLET circuit;
reinstall the cover and make sure that
it is securely installed.
IMPORTANT Always replace a fuse with
a genuine FCA fuse or equivalent of the
same rating. Otherwise you may
damage the electric system.12007031601-121-001

of effectiveness is indicated on the
bottle label);
– the tear or puncture exceeds about
4 mm;
– the damage has occurred to an
area of the tire other than the tread;
– the vehicle has been driven with
nearly no air remaining in the tire;
– the tire has come off the wheel rim;
– damage to the wheel rim has
occurred;
– the tire has two or more punctures.
SEALING A TIRE WITH
TIRE SERVICE
Proceed as follows:
move the vehicle off the right-of-way
to a safe place on a level and hard
surface where the vehicle does not
obstruct traffic;
shift the shift lever to the 1 or
Reverse (R) position (manual
transmission), and shift the selector
lever to the P position (automatic
transmission);
apply the parking brake with the
brake pedal depressed and turn off the
engine;
if necessary, flash the hazard warning
lights and set up the roadside
emergency triangle;
unload passengers and cargo and
remove the tire service kit;
shake the tire sealant well. If the
bottle is shaken after the injection hose
is screwed on, tire sealant could spray
out from the injection hose. Tire sealant
contacting clothing or other objects
may be impossible to remove. Shake
the bottle before screwing on the
injection hose;
IMPORTANT The sealant hardens easily
and injecting it will be difficult under
cold weather conditions (0°C or below).
Warm the sealant inside the vehicle to
facilitate injection.
remove the cap from the bottle
fig. 127. Screw on the injection hose
with the bottle's inner cap left on to
break the inner cap;
remove the valve cap from the flat
tire fig. 128. Press the back of a valve
core tool to the core of the tire valve
and bleed all the remaining air;

IN CASE OF EMERGENCY

turn the air compressor switch on
and inflate the tire carefully to the
correct inflation pressure;
IMPORTANT When inserting the air
compressor plug into or removing it
from the accessory socket, make sure
that the air compressor switch is off.
When turning the air compressor on/off,
use the air compressor switch.
NOTE Check the tire inflation pressure
label driver's door frame for the correct
tire inflation pressure.
NOTE Do not operate the air
compressor for a continuous
10 minutes or longer because using it
for long periods could cause a
malfunction.
NOTE If the tire inflation pressure does
not increase, repair of the tire is not
possible. If the tire does not reach the
specified tire inflation pressure within
10 minutes, it may have received
extensive damage. In this case, the
repair using the tire service kit was not
successful. Contact a Fiat Dealership.If the tire has been over-inflated, loosen
the screw cap on the air compressor
and bleed some of the air out;
when the tire inflates to the specified
tire inflation pressure, turn the air
compressor switch off, turn the sleeve
of the air compressor hose to the left,
and pull it out of the tire valve;
install the tire valve cap;
put the tire service kit into the boot;
start driving immediately to spread
the sealant in the tire.
IMPORTANT Carefully drive the vehicle
at a speed of 80 km/h or less. If the
vehicle is driven at a speed of 80 km/h
or more, the vehicle may vibrate.
If the tire is not properly inflated, the
warning light will illuminate.

IN CASE OF EMERGENCY
134a
after driving the vehicle for about
10 minutes or 5 km (3 miles), connect
the air compressor to the tire and check
the tire inflation pressure using the tire
pressure gauge on the air compressor.
If the tire inflation pressure is lower than
the specified tire inflation pressure, turn
the air compressor on and wait until it
reaches the specified tire inflation
pressure;

WARNING
169)Punctures on the sides of the tire may
not be repaired. Do not use the kit if the tire
was damaged as a result of being used
when underinflated.
170)Do not adhere the speed restriction
sticker to the padded area on the steering
wheel. Adhering the speed restriction
sticker to the padded area on the steering
wheel is dangerous because the air bag
may not operate (deploy) normally resulting
in serious injury. In addition, do not adhere
the sticker to areas where warning lights or
the speedometer cannot be viewed.
171)If the tire inflation pressure has
decreased below 130 kPa (1.3 kgf/cm
2or
bar, 18.9 psi), stop driving and contact a
Fiat Dealership. The repair using the
emergency at tire repair kit was not
successful. If you see a decrease in the tire
inflation pressure, stop driving. Contact a
Fiat Dealership.
172)You must always indicate that the tyre
was repaired using the kit. Give the booklet
to the technicians who will be handling the
tire that was treated using the kit.
173)Repairs are not possible in the case of
damage to the wheel rim (bad groove
distortion causing air loss). Do not remove
foreign bodies (screws or nails) from the
tire.174)The information required by the
applicable regulation is indicated on the tire
service kit package label. Compliance with
the indications on the label is an essential
condition to ensure the safety and the
effectiveness of the tire service kit. Carefully
read the label before use, avoid improper
use. Tire service kit is subject to expiration
and must be replaced periodically. The kit
should be used by adults and cannot be
used by children.
175)Do not allow children to touch the tire
sealant: ingestion of tire sealant is
dangerous. In the event tire sealant is
accidentally swallowed, drink large
amounts of water immediately and seek
medical assistance. Tire sealant that
comes into contact with the eyes and skin
is dangerous. If tire sealant enters the eyes
or contacts the skin, flush immediately with
large amounts of water and seek medical
assistance.
IMPORTANT
3)Dispose of the bottle and the sealant
liquid properly. Have them disposed of in
compliance with national and local
regulations.

the emergency flat tire repair is
completed successfully if the tire
inflation pressure does not decrease.
Carefully drive the vehicle to the nearest
Fiat Dealership and have the flat tire
replaced. Replacement with a new tire
is recommended. If the tire is to be
repaired or reused, contact a Fiat
Dealership.
IMPORTANT Before checking the tire
inflation pressure using the tire pressure
gauge, turn the air compressor switch
off.
NOTEIf an emergency flat tire repair has
been performed using the tire service
kit, FCA recommends that the tire be
replaced with a new one as soon as
possible. If the tire is to be repaired or
reused, contact a Fiat Dealership.
The wheel can be reused if the
sealant adhering to it is removed.
However, replace the valve with a new
one.
