a visible position. Wear the protective
gloves provided. Remove the cap from
the valve of the punctured tyre and
connect and firmly tighten the
transparent tube of the sealing fluid 1
fig. 125;
ensure that the on-off button is in0
(OFF) position. If provided, open the
cover of the compressor 4 fig. 124 and
insert the electrical connector in the
12V socket of the vehicle fig. 126,
switch on the vehicle engine;
activate the compressor moving
on-off button toI(ON) position. When
the pressure gauge shows the vehicle
required pressure (see section “Wheels”
under “Technical data” chapter), switch
off the compressor moving on-off
button to0position. If after 5 minutes
from the compressor ignition, the
pressure gauge indicates a pressure
less than 1.8 bar / 26 psi, switch off thecompressor, disconnect the sealing
fluid tube from the tyre valve, re-screw
the valve cap and move the vehicle
about 10 meters to allow the
distribution of sealing fluid in the tyre.
Securely stop the vehicle and repeat
the operation above until reaching the
required pressure. If after other 5 min.
from the compressor ignition, the
pressure gauge still indicates a pressure
lower than 1.8 bar / 26 psi, the TYRE IS
TOO DAMAGED AND CANNOT BE
REPAIRED. Remove and place the kit in
the specific compartment and contact a
Fiat Dealership;
if the required pressure is reached,
restart driving. Do not exceed 80 km/h.
Avoid sudden acceleration or braking.
After driving for about 8 km / 5 miles,
place the vehicle in a safe and smooth
area, engaging the parking brake. Pick
up the kit, ensure the on-off button is in0position, insert the electrical
connector in the vehicle 12V socket.
Remove the cap from the valve of
repaired tyre, disconnect and pull out
the black inflation tube 1 fig. 127,
connect and block it with the stack to
the valve. Inspect the pressure gauge to
check the tyre pressure;
if the pressure indicated is lower than
1.8 bar / 26 psi, the TYRE IS TOO
DAMAGED AND CANNOT BE
REPAIRED. Remove and place the kit in
the specific compartment and contact a
Fiat Dealership;
if the pressure indicated is equal to or
higher than 1.8 bar / 26 psi, switch on
the compressor and reach the required
pressure. Disconnect and replace the
kit in the specific compartment.
Carefully drive and reach the Fiat
Dealership as soon as possible;

IN AN EMERGENCY
Page 121 of 204

FUEL CUT-OFF
SYSTEM
DESCRIPTION
This intervenes in the case of an impact
causing:
the interruption of the fuel supply
with the engine consequently switching
off;
the automatic unlocking of the
doors;
turning on of the lights inside the
vehicle;
deactivation of climate control
system ventilation;
switching on of the hazard warning
lights (to deactivate the lights press the
button on the dashboard).
On some versions, the intervention of
the system is indicated by a message
shown on the display. In the same way,
a dedicated message on the display
warns the driver if system operation is
compromised.
IMPORTANT Carefully check the vehicle
for fuel leaks, for instance in the engine
compartment, under the vehicle or near
the tank area. After a collision, bring the
ignition device to STOP to prevent the
battery from running down.FUEL CUT-OFF SYSTEM
RESET
To restore correct operation of the
vehicle, carry out the following
procedure (this procedure must be
started and completed within less than
1 minute):
138)
Operations to be carried out
With direction indicator lever in neutral
position, bring the ignition device to STOP
Bring the ignition device to MAR
Activate the right direction indicator
Activate the left direction indicator
Activate the right direction indicator
Activate the left direction indicator
Deactivate the left direction indicator
Bring the ignition device to STOP
Bring the ignition device to MAR
WARNING
138)If, after an impact, you smell fuel or
notice leaks from the fuel system, do not
reactivate the system to avoid the risk of
fire.
AUTOMATIC
TRANSMISSION
Lever release
In the event of a fault, to move the gear
lever from P (Park), proceed as follows:

"quick-type" battery charger is used
with the battery fitted on the vehicle,
before connecting it disconnect both
cables of the battery itself. Do not use a
"quick-type" battery charger to provide
the starting voltage.
VERSIONS WITHOUT
STOP/START SYSTEM
To recharge, proceed as follows:
disconnect the terminal from the
negative battery pole;
connect the charger cables to the
battery terminals, observing the polarity;
turn on the charger;
when it is recharged, turn the
charger off before disconnecting it from
the battery;
reconnect the terminal to the
negative battery pole.
VERSIONS WITH
STOP/START SYSTEM
(where provided)
To recharge, proceed as follows:
disconnect the connector 1
fig. 142 (pressing the button 2) from the
sensor 3 monitoring the battery
conditions, on the negative pole (–) 4 of
the battery;
connect the positive cable (+) of the
battery charger to the positive battery
terminal 5 and the negative cable (–) to
sensor terminal 4 as shown;
turn on the battery charger. At the
end of the charging process, switch the
battery charger off;
after having disconnected the
charging device, reconnect connector 1
to the sensor 3 as shown.
