IF THE VEHICLE
BREAKS DOWN
If the vehicle breaks down on the road,
move it to the shoulder and use the
hazard warning flashers and/or the
warning triangle etc. Refer to “Hazard
warning flasher switch”.
If the engine stops/fails
Vehicle operation and control are
affected if the engine stops. Before
moving the vehicle to a safe area, be
aware of the following:
The brake booster becomes
inoperative and the pedal effort will
increase. Press down the brake pedal
harder than usual.
Since the power steering system is
no longer operative, the steering wheel
feels heavy when turning it.

jumper cables can reach, but be sure
the vehicles aren’t touching each other.
2. Turn off all lamps, heater and other
electrical loads.
3. Set the parking brake firmly on each
vehicle. Put an automatic transmission
in “P” (PARK) or a manual transmission
in “N” (Neutral). Stop the engine.

OVERHEATING
When the engine is overheating,will
blink. If this occurs, take the following
corrective measures:
1. Stop the vehicle in a safe place.
2. Check whether steam is coming from
the engine compartment.
If steam does not come from the engine
compartment: with the engine still
running, raise the bonnet to ventilate
the engine compartment.
If steam is coming from the engine
compartment: stop the engine, and
when the steam stops, raise the bonnet
to ventilate the engine compartment.
Restart the engine.
248) 249) 250)
3. Confirm that the cooling fan (B) is
turning.
If the cooling fan is turning: after the
high coolant temperature warning has
gone off, stop the engine
If the cooling fan is not turning: stop the
engine immediately and contact a Fiat
dealership for assistance.A — Radiator cap
B — Cooling fan
C — Reserve tank
251)
4. Check the coolant level in the reserve
tank (C).
5. Add coolant to the radiator and/or
reserve tank if necessary (refer to the
“Maintenance” section).
252)
131)
6. Examine the radiator hoses for
coolant leakage and the drive belt for
looseness or damage.
If there is anything wrong with the
cooling system or drive belt, have the
problem corrected at a Fiat Dealership.
WARNING
248)Do not open the bonnet while steam
is coming from the engine compartment. It
could cause steam or hot water to spurt
out, causing burns. Hot water could spurt
out even when there is no steam coming
out, and some parts will be very hot. Be
very careful when opening the bonnet.
249)Be careful of hot steam, which could
be blowing off the reserve tank cap.
250)Do not attempt to remove the radiator
cap while the engine is hot.
251)Be careful not to get your hands or
clothes caught in the cooling fan.
252)Make sure that the engine has cooled
down before removing the radiator cap (A),
because hot steam or boiling water
otherwise will gush from the filler port and
may scald you.

NOTE Confirm that the hanger disc is
securely fitted in the wheel disc hole
when the wheel is just lifted off the
ground.
3. After winding up the spare wheel
sufficiently, make sure it is not loose (the
tightening torque should be
approximately 40 Nm (achieved by
applying a force of 200 N at the end of
the wheel nut wrench) then withdraw
the jack handle, taking care not to turn
it in the reverse direction.
278) 279) 280)
4. Have your damaged tyre repaired as
soon as possible.
To store the tools, jack and jack
handle
Reverse the removing procedure when
storing the jack, jack handle and wheel
nut wrench (refer to “Tools, jack and
jack handle”).
WARNING
257)Use your hazard lights, warning
triangle, etc. to show that your vehicle is
stationary according to the regulations in
force. Passengers should get out of the
vehicle, particularly if it is heavily loaded,
and wait for the wheel to be changed away
from the traffic. Apply the handbrake. in the
event of a wheel change on a slope or on
unsurfaced roads, put any object as stop
under the wheels.
258)Be sure to apply chocks or blocks to
the correct tyre when jacking up the
vehicle. If the vehicle moves while jacked
up, the jack could slip out of position,
leading to an accident.
259)The pressure should be periodically
checked and maintained at the specified
pressure while the tyre is stowed. Driving
with an insufficient tyre pressure can lead
to an accident. If you have no choice but to
drive with an insufficient tyre pressure,
keep your speed down and inflate the tyre
to the correct pressure as soon as
possible. (Refer to “Tyre inflation
pressures”).
260)Set the jack only at the positions
shown here. If the jack is set at a wrong
position, it could dent your vehicle or the
jack might fall over and cause personal
injury.
261)Do not use the jack on a tilted or soft
surface. Otherwise, the jack might slip and
cause personal injury. Always use the jack
on a flat, hard surface. Before setting the
jack, make sure there are no sand or
pebbles under the jack base.262)Stop jacking up the vehicle as soon
as the tyre is raised off the ground. It is
dangerous to raise the vehicle any higher.
Do not get under your vehicle while using
the jack. Do not bump the raised vehicle or
leave it sitting on the jack for a long time.
Both are very dangerous. Do not use a jack
except the one that came with your
vehicle. The jack should not be used for
any purpose other than to change a tyre.
No one should be in your vehicle when
using the jack. Do not start or run the
engine while your vehicle is on the jack. Do
not turn the raised wheel. The tyres still on
the ground could turn and make your
vehicle fall off the jack.
263)Do not get under your vehicle while
using the jack.
264)Do not bump the raised vehicle or
leave it sitting on the jack for a long time.
Both are very dangerous.
265)Do not use a jack except the one that
came with your vehicle.
266)The jack should not be used for any
purpose other than to change a tyre.
267)No one should be in your vehicle
when using the jack.
268)Do not start or run the engine while
your vehicle is on the jack.
269)Do not turn the raised wheel. The
tyres still on the ground could turn and
make your vehicle fall off the jack.
270)Handle the wheel carefully when
changing the tyre, to avoid scratching the
wheel surface.

IN CASE OF EMERGENCY
BATTERY
155) 156)
4)
The condition of the battery is very
important for quick starting of the
engine and proper functioning of the
vehicle’s electrical system. Regular
inspection and care are especially
important in cold weather.
Battery precautions
325) 326) 327) 328) 329) 330) 331) 332) 333) 334) 335)
Checking battery electrolyte level
The electrolyte level must be between
the specified limit on the outside of the
battery. Replenish with distilled water as
necessary. The inside of the battery is
divided into several compartments;
remove the cap from each
compartment and fill to the upper mark.
Do not top up beyond the upper markbecause spillage during driving could
cause damage.
Check the electrolyte level at least once
every four weeks, depending on the
operating conditions. If the battery is
not used, it will discharge by itself with
time.
Check it once every four weeks and
charge with low current as necessary.
During cold weather
The capacity of the battery is reduced
at low temperatures. This is an
inevitable result of its chemical and
physical properties. This is why a very
cold battery, particularly one that is not
fully charged will only deliver a fraction
of the starter current which is normally
available.
We recommend you to have the battery
checked before the start of cold
weather and, if necessary, have it
charged or replaced. This does not only
ensure reliable starting, but a battery
which is kept fully charged also has a
longer life.
Disconnection and connection
157) 158) 159) 160)
To disconnect the battery cable, stop
the engine, first disconnect the negative
(-) terminal and then the positive (+)
terminal. When connecting the battery,
first connect the positive (+) terminal
and then the negative (-) terminal.NOTE Open the terminal cover (A)
before disconnecting or connecting the
positive (+) terminal of the battery.
NOTE Loosen the nut (B), and then
disconnect the battery cable from the
positive (+) terminal.
NOTE Keep the terminals clean. After
the battery is connected, apply terminal
protection grease. To clean the
terminals, use lukewarm water.
NOTE Check to see if the battery is
securely installed and cannot be moved
during travel. Also check each terminal
for tightness.
NOTE When the vehicle is to be left
unused for a long period of time,
remove the battery and store it in a
place where the battery fluid will not
freeze. The battery should be stored
only in a fully charged condition.
