cap and highlighted by symbol 2
coincide with the inflation valve;
place the inner part of the hub cap
on the wheel rim;
engage the hub cap by applying an
axial force in several points as shown in
fig. 142 to allow the correct coupling
between hub cap and wheel.NOTE The hub cap cannot be fitted to
the space-saver wheel.
NOTE If replacing a wheel with alloy
rim, stove it temporarily into the spare
wheel compartment with the cosmetic
side facing upwards.
WARNING
135)If left in the passenger compartment,
the punctured wheel and jack constitute a
serious risk to the safety of occupants in
the event of accidents or sharp braking.
Therefore, always place both the jack and
punctured wheel in the dedicated housing
in the boot.
136)It is extremely dangerous to attempt
to change a wheel on the side of the
vehicle next to the driving lane: make sure
that the vehicle is at a sufficient distance
from the road, to avoid being run over.
137)Alert other drivers that the car is
stationary in compliance with local
regulations: hazard warning lights, warning
triangle, etc. Any passengers on board
should leave the car, especially if it is
heavily laden. Passengers should stay
away from on-coming traffic while the
wheel is being changed.138)The jack is a tool developed and
designed only for changing a wheel, if a
tyre gets punctured or damaged, on the
vehicle with which it is supplied or on other
vehicles of the same model. Any other use,
e.g. to jack up other vehicle models or
different things, is strictly prohibited. Never
use it to carry out maintenance or repairs
under the vehicle or to change
summer/winter wheels and vice versa: we
advise you to contact a Fiat Dealership.
Never go under the raised vehicle: use it
only in the positions indicated. Do not use
the jack for loads higher than the one
shown on its label. Never start the engine
with vehicle raised. If the vehicle is raised
more than necessary, everything can
become more unstable, with the risk of the
vehicle dropping violently. Thus, lift the
vehicle only as needed in order to access
the spare wheel.
139)Never tamper with the inflation valve.
Never introduce tools of any kind between
the rim and the tyre. Check tyre and
space-saver wheel pressures regularly,
complying with the values given in the
"Technical specifications" chapter.
IMPORTANT
49)When turning the jack handle make
sure that it can turn freely without scraping
your hand against the ground. The moving
components of the jack ("worm screw" and
joints) can also cause injuries: avoid
touching them. If you come into contact
with lubricating grease, clean yourself
thoroughly.

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. 145;
ensure that the on-off button 1
fig. 146 is in0(OFF) position. If
provided, open the cover of the
compressor 4 fig. 144 and insert the
electrical connector in the car’s 12V
socket fig. 147, start the car engine;
activate the compressor moving
on-off 1 button toI(ON) position
fig. 146. When the pressure gauge 2
shows the car’s required pressure (see
section “Wheels” under “Technical data”
chapter), switch off the compressor
moving on-off button 1 to0position. If
after 5 minutes from the compressorignition, the pressure gauge 2 indicates
a pressure less than 1.8 bar / 26 psi,
switch off the compressor, disconnect
the sealing fluid tube from the tyre
valve, re-screw the valve cap and move
the car about 10 meters to allow the
distribution of sealing fluid in the tyre.
Stop the car safely and repeat the
operation above until the required
pressure is reached. If after other 5 min.
from the compressor ignition, the
pressure gauge 2 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 suitable
area, engaging the parking brake. Pick
up the kit, ensure the on-off button 1 is
in0position, insert the electrical
connector in the car’s 12V socket.
Remove the cap from the valve of
repaired tyre, disconnect and pull out
the black inflation tube 1 fig. 148,
connect and block it with the stack to
the valve. Inspect the pressure gauge 2
to check the tyre pressure fig. 146;
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;
PRESSURE RESTORING
The compressor can also be used to
check and, if necessary, restore the tyre
pressure.
Disconnect and pull out the black
inflation tube 1, connect and block it
with the stalk to the tyre valve fig. 148.
With the same procedure it is possible
to inflate bicycle tyres and balloons.
The kit should be used by adults and
cannot be used by children.
CARTRIDGE

WARNING
140)The information required by the
applicable regulation is indicated on the
Fix&Go kit package label. Compliance with
the indications on the label is an essential
condition to ensure the safety and the
effectiveness of the Fix&Go kit. Carefully
read the label before use, avoid improper
use. Fix&Go is subject to expiration and
must be replaced periodically. The kit
should be used by adults and cannot be
used by children.
IMPORTANT
51)Show the package and the label to the
personnel charged with handling the tyre
treated with the tyre repair kit.
52)Fix&Go provides a temporary repair,
therefore the tyre must be examined and
repaired by a specialist as soon as
possible. The sealing fluid is effective at
temperatures between -40°C and +50°C. It
is possible to repair tyres which have been
damaged on tread up to a diameter of
4mm; however, tyres damaged on their
side cannot be repaired. Before using
Fix&Go kit, ensure that the tyre isn't
excessively damaged and that the rim is in
good condition, otherwise do not use it and
contact a Fiat Dealership. Do not remove
foreign bodies from the tyre. Do not let the
compressor turned on for more than 20
consecutive minutes - overheating hazard.

JUMP STARTING
141) 142) 143) 144)
53)
If the battery is flat, a jump starting can
be performed using the battery and the
cables of another vehicle, or using an
auxiliary battery. In all cases, the battery
used must have a capacity equal to or
a little higher than the flat one.
Jump starting may be dangerous if
carried out incorrectly: carefully follow
the procedures described below.
JUMP STARTING
IMPORTANT NOTES
Do not use an auxiliary battery or any
other source of external supply with a
voltage above 12 V: the battery, the
starter, the alternator and the electrical
system of the vehicle could be
damaged.
Do not attempt jump starting if the
battery is frozen. The battery could
break and explode!
When jump starting, never connect the
negative lead (–) of the auxiliary battery
to the negative pole 1 fig. 150 of the car
battery, but rather to an engine/gearbox
earth point.
54)
Proceed as follows to carry out a jump
starting
connect one end of the cable used
for positive (+) to the positive terminal
(+) of the vehicle with flat battery;
connect the other end of the cable
used for positive (+) to the positive
terminal (+) of the auxiliary battery;
connect one end of the cable used
for negative (–) to the negative terminal
(–) of the auxiliary battery;
connect the other end of the cable
used for negative (–) to an engine earth
(a visible metal part of the engine or
gearbox/transmission of the vehicle
with flat battery) away from the battery
and the fuel injection system;
start the vehicle engine with the
auxiliary battery, let it run for a few
minutes at idling. Start the engine of the
vehicle with flat battery.
Once the engine has started, remove
the leads, reversing the order above.
If after a few attempts the engine does
not start, do not persist but contact a
Fiat Dealership.
BUMP STARTING
Never bump start the engine by
pushing, towing or coasting downhill.

WARNING
141)Before opening the bonnet, make
sure that the engine is off and that the
ignition key is in the STOP position. Follow
the indications on the plate underneath the
bonnet. We recommend that you remove
the key from the ignition if other people
remain in the vehicle. The vehicle should
always be left after the key has been
removed or turned to the STOP position.
During refuelling, make sure that the engine
is off (and that the ignition key is in the
STOP position).
142)Do not get too close to the radiator
cooling fan: the electric fan may start;
danger of injury. Scarves, ties and other
loose clothing might be pulled by moving
parts.
143)Remove any metal objects (e.g. rings,
watches, bracelets), that might cause an
accidental electrical contact and cause
serious injury.
144)The batteries contain acid that can
burn skin or eyes. Batteries produce
hydrogen, which is easily flammable and
explosive. Therefore, keep away flames or
devices which may cause sparks.
IMPORTANT
53)Never use a fast battery-charger to
start the engine as this could damage the
electronic systems of your vehicle,
particularly the ignition and engine fuel
supply control units.54)Do not connect the cable to the
negative terminal (–) of the flat battery. The
following spark could lead to battery
explosion and cause serious harm. Only
use the specific earth point; do not use any
other exposed metallic part.
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

electromechanical power steering will not
work while the vehicle is being towed. You
will therefore need to apply more force on
the brake pedal and steering wheel. Do not
use flexible ropes when towing, and avoid
jerky movements. During towing, make
sure that the trailer hitch does not damage
any components it is touching. When
towing the car, you must comply with all
specific traffic regulations and adopt an
appropriate driving behaviour. Do not start
the engine while towing the car. Before
tightening the ring, clean the threaded
housing thoroughly. Make sure that the ring
is fully screwed into the housing before
towing the car.
148)The front and rear tow hooks should
be used only for emergencies on the road.
You are allowed to tow the vehicle for short
distances using an appropriate device in
accordance with the highway code (a rigid
bar), to move the vehicle on the road in
readiness for towing or transporting via a
breakdown vehicle. Tow rings MUST NOT
be used to tow vehicles off the road or
where there are obstacles and/or for
towing operations using cables or other
non-rigid devices. In compliance with the
above conditions, towing must take place
with the two vehicles (one towing, the other
towed) aligned as much as possible along
the same centre line.
