126)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. If you are on a slope or
uneven surface, place wedges or other
suitable objects under the wheels to secure
the vehicle. Have the wheel repaired and
refitted as soon as possible. Do not apply
grease to the bolt threads before
assembly: they might spontaneously
unscrew.
127)Use the jack only to replace wheels
on the vehicle with which it is supplied
or on other vehicles of the same model.
Never use the jack for other purposes,
such as lifting other models. Never use the
jack to carry out repairs under the vehicle.
Incorrect positioning of the jack may cause
the lifted vehicle to fall. Do not use the
jack for loads higher than those shown on
the label.
128)Incorrect hub cap assembly may
cause it to come off when the vehicle is
moving. Never tamper with the inflation
valve. Never introduce tools of any kind
between rim and tyre. Check tyre and
spare wheel pressures regularly, referring to
the values shown in the "Technical
specifications" section.FIX&GO AUTOMATIC

EMERGENCY
STARTING
Go to a Fiat Dealership immediately if
warning light
stays on constantly on
the instrument panel.
JUMP STARTING
If the battery is flat, it is possible to start
the engine using an auxiliary battery
with the same capacity or a little higher
than the flat one.
Proceed as follows to start the vehicle
fig. 209:
connect the positive terminals (+
mark near the terminal) of the two
batteries using a suitable lead;
with a second lead, connect the
negative terminal (–) of the auxiliary
battery to an earthing point
on the
engine or the gearbox of the vehicle to
be started;
start the engine;
when the engine has been started,
remove the cables reversing the order
above.
If after a few attempts the engine does
not start, do not persist but contact
the nearest Fiat Dealership.

IN AN EMERGENCY

IMPORTANT Do not directly connect
the negative terminals of the two
batteries: any sparks may ignite the
explosive gas which could come out of
the battery. If the auxiliary battery is
installed on another vehicle, avoid any
metal parts on the latter and the vehicle
with the flat battery from accidentally
coming into contact.

131)
BUMP STARTING
Never bump start the engine by
pushing, towing or coasting downhill.
This could cause fuel to flow into the
catalytic converter and damage it
beyond repair.IMPORTANT Remember that the brake
booster and the electric power steering
system are not active until the engine
is started, so you will need to apply
much more force to the brake pedal or
steering wheel.
WARNING
29)Never use a fast battery-charger for
emergency starting of the engine as this
could damage the electronic systems
of your vehicle, particularly the ignition and
fuel supply control units.
WARNING
131)This procedure must be performed by
qualified personnel as incorrect actions
may cause high-intensity electrical
discharge. Furthermore, battery fluid is
poisonous and corrosive: avoid contact
with skin and eyes. Keep naked flames
away from the battery. No smoking. Do not
cause sparks.
FUEL CUT-OFF
SYSTEM
This intervenes in the case of an impact
causing:
the fuel supply cut-off with the
engine consequently switching off;
the automatic unlocking of the
doors;
the switching on of the interior lights;
switching on of the hazard warning
lights (to deactivate the lights press
the dedicated button on the
dashboard).
132)When the system has been triggered,
the message “Fuel cut off, see
handbook” is displayed on some
versions.
Check carefully for fuel leaks, for
instance in the engine compartment,
under the vehicle or near the tank area.
After a collision, turn the ignition key
to STOP to prevent the battery from
running down.
The following procedure should be
carried out to restore the correct
operation of the vehicle:
turn the ignition key to the MAR
position;
activate the right direction indicator;
deactivate the right direction
indicator;
209F0V0147

activate the left direction indicator;
deactivate the left direction indicator;
activate the right direction indicator;
deactivate the right direction
indicator;
activate the left direction indicator;
deactivate the left direction indicator;
turn the ignition key to the OFF
position.
WARNING
132)If, after an impact, you smell fuel or
notice leaks from the fuel supply system,
do not reactivate the system to avoid
the risk of fire.
LIFTING THE
VEHICLE
If the vehicle needs to be lifted, go to a
Fiat Dealership which is equipped
with the arm hoist or workshop lift.
TOWING THE
VEHICLE
The tow ring provided with the vehicle
is located in the tool box behind the left
seat backrest (Cargo versions) or in
the boot (Doblò / Doblò Combi
versions).
ATTACHING THE TOW
HOOK
Proceed as follows:
release the cap A fig. 210-fig. 211;

IN AN EMERGENCY

WARNING
133)Before starting towing operations,
turn the ignition key to MAR and then
to STOP, without extracting it. If the key is
extracted, the steering lock engages
automatically and it is consequently
impossible to steer the wheels.
134)Clean the threaded seat carefully
before fastening the ring. Before towing the
vehicle, make sure that the tow ring is
fully tightened in its appropriate housing.
Do not start the engine whilst the vehicle is
being towed.135)When towing, remember that greater
effort is required on the brake pedal in
order to brake, since the brake servo is not
providing assistance. Do not use flexible
cables when towing and avoid jerky
movements. During towing operations,
make sure that the fastened joint does not
damage adjoining components. When
towing the vehicle, comply with the specific
rules of the highway code regarding the
towing device and road conduct. Do
not start the engine whilst the vehicle is
being towed.
WARNING
30)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
transport via a breakdown vehicle. Tow
hooks MUST NOT be used to tow vehicles
off the road or where there are obstacles
and/or for towing operations using ropes
or other non-rigid devices. Respecting the
above conditions, towing must take place
with two vehicles (one towing, the other
towed) aligned as much as possible along
the same centre line.
