TPMS (Tyre
Pressure
Monitoring System)
(for versions/markets, where provided)
86) 87) 88) 89) 90) 91) 92) 93) 94)
DESCRIPTION
The tyre pressure monitoring system
(TPMS) warns the driver of low tyre
pressure on the basis of the cold
inflation pressure prescribed for the
vehicle.
Changes in outside temperature may
cause tyre pressure to vary. This means
that a decrease in the outside
temperature corresponds to a decrease
in the tyre pressure.
Tyre pressure must always be adjusted
according to the cold inflation pressure.
Cold tyre inflation pressure is the tyre
pressure after letting the vehicle stand
for at least three hours or a travel
shorter than 1.6 km after an interval of
three hours.
The cold tyre inflation pressure must
not exceed the maximum inflation
pressure value printed on the side of
the tyre.The tyre pressure also increases while
driving the vehicle: this is a normal
condition and does not require any
adjustment of the pressure.
NOTE
❒The TPMS does not replace the
normal tyre maintenance service and
does not indicate any fault in a tyre.
❒Therefore, the TPMS should not be
used as pressure switch while
adjusting the tyre inflation pressure.
❒Driving with insufficient tyre pressure
causes their overheating and can
result in tyre failure. The low inflation
pressure reduces fuel efficiency
and tyre tread life and may also affect
handling and braking performance
of the vehicle.
❒The TPMS does not replace the
correct tyre maintenance. It is up to
the driver to maintain the correct tyre
pressure level measuring it with a
suitable pressure switch. This is
necessary even if the decrease in the
inflation pressure value does not
cause the tyre pressure control
warning light to switch on.❒The TPMS warns the driver of any
condition of insufficient tyre pressure
If this drops below the insufficient
pressure limit for any reason including
low temperature and normal
pressure loss of the tyre.
❒The seasonal temperature changes
affect tyre pressure.
The TPMS uses wireless devices with
electronic sensors mounted on the
wheel rims to constantly monitor the
value of tyre pressure. The sensors
mounted on each wheel as part of the
valve stem transmit various information
of the tyres to the receiver module, in
order to calculate the pressure.
IMPORTANT Monitoring and
maintaining the correct pressure in all
four tyres are particularly important.

The system warns the driver if one or
more tyres are flat by switching on
the warning light
on the instrument
panel (together with a warning message
and an acoustic signal).

STARTING AND DRIVING

WARNING
112) Give the instruction booklet to
the tyre repair workshop
personnel.
113) 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.
114) 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.
115) If the wheel rim has been
damaged (bent so as to cause air
to leak), the wheel may not be
repaired. Do not remove foreign
bodies (screws or nails) from
the tyre.116) 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 case of
contact, wash immediately with
plenty of water. In the event that it
is swallowed, do not induce
vomiting. Rinse out your mouth,
drink large quantities of water and
seek immediate medical attention.
Keep out of the reach of children.
The product must not be used
by asthmatics. Do not inhale the
vapours during insertion and
suction. Call a doctor immediately
if allergic reactions are noted.
Store the bottle in the specific
compartment, away from sources
of heat. The sealant has an expiry
date. Replace the bottle if the
sealant has expired.
117) Wear the protective gloves
provided together with the quick
tyre repair kit.118) 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.
119) If the pressure has fallen below
1.8 bar, do not drive any further:
the automatic Fix&Go automatic
quick tyre repair kit cannot
guarantee the correct hold
because the tyre is too damaged.
Contact a Fiat Dealership.
120) Inform the Dealership that the
tyre has been repaired using the
quick tyre repair kit. Give the
booklet to the personnel charged
with handling the treated tyre.
IMPORTANT
28) Punctures caused by foreign
bodies can be repaired if the
damage does not exceed 4 mm on
the tread and on the shoulder of
the tyre.

❒after disconnecting the battery
charger, reconnect the quick-release
negative terminal A to the dummy
pole B.
Versions without dummy pole fig.

To recharge proceed as follows, paying
great care:
❒press button A to detach connector
B from battery status monitoring
sensor C (this is located on the
negative pole of the battery itself);
❒connect the positive cable (+) of the
battery charger to the battery positive
terminal (+);
❒connect the negative cable (–) of the
battery charger to the pin D of the
negative battery terminal (–);
❒turn on the charger;❒when you have finished, turn the
charger off before disconnecting
it from the battery;
❒reconnect the connector B to the
sensor C of the battery.

WARNING
136) Battery fluid is poisonous and
corrosive: avoid contact with
your skin and eyes. The battery
recharging operation must be
performed in a ventilated place,
away from naked flames or
possible sources of sparks to
avoid the risk of explosion and
fire.
137) Don't try to recharge a frozen
battery: it must be thawed first,
otherwise it may explode. If the
battery was frozen, have it
inspected by specialised
personnel before recharging to
check that the internal elements
are not damaged and that the
casing is not cracked, which
causes the risk of leakage
of poisonous, corrosive acid.

(for versions/markets, where provided)
BLADES
Periodically clean the rubber part using
special products; TUTELA
PROFESSIONAL SC 35 is
recommended.
Replace the blades if the rubber edge is
deformed or worn. In any case, it is
advisable to replace them
approximately once a year.
A few simple precautions can reduce
the possibility of damage to the blades:
❒if the temperature falls below zero,
make sure that ice has not frozen
the rubber against the glass. Use a
de-icing product to release it if
required;
❒remove any snow from the glass: in
addition to protecting the blades,
this prevents effort on the motor and
overheating;
❒do not operate the windscreen and
rear window wipers on dry glass.
