GENERAL
INSTRUCTIONS
Before replacing a bulb check the
contacts for oxidation;
replace blown bulbs with others of
the same type and power;
after replacing a headlight bulb,
always check its alignment;
when a light is not working, check
that the corresponding fuse is intact
before changing the bulb. For the
location of fuses, refer to the paragraph
"If a fuse blows" in this chapter.
IMPORTANT When the weather is cold
or damp or after heavy rain or washing,
the surface of headlights or rear lights
may steam up and/or form drops of
condensation on the inside. This is a
natural phenomenon due to the
difference in temperature and humidity
between the inside and the outside of
the glass which does not indicate a
fault and does not compromise the
normal operation of lighting devices.
The mist disappears quickly when the
lights are turned on, starting from the
centre of the diffuser, extending
progressively towards the edges.

turn the bulb holder 2
fig. 127 anticlockwise, extract the bulb
3 and replace it.
then refit the assembly.NOTE Before removing the lens unit,
put a protection (e.g. cloth) on the tip of
the screwdriver, in order not to damage
the lens itself.
WARNING
127)Before replacing the bulb, wait for the
exhaust ducts to cool down: DANGER OF
SCALDING!
128)Modifications or repairs to the electric
system that are not carried out properly or
do not take the system technical
specifications into account can cause
malfunctions leading to the risk of fire.
129)Halogen bulbs contain pressurised
gas, in the case of breakage they may
burst causing glass fragments to be
projected outwards.
IMPORTANT
49)Halogen bulbs must be handled
holding the metallic part only. Touching the
transparent part of the bulb with your
fingers may reduce the intensity of the
emitted light and even reduce the lifespan
of the bulb. In the event of accidental
contact, wipe the bulb with a cloth
moistened with alcohol and let the bulb dry.
REPLACING FUSES
GENERAL INFORMATION
130) 131) 132) 133)
50)
Fuses protect the electrical system:
they intervene (blow) in the event of a
failure or improper action on the
system.
Fuse extracting pliers
To replace a fuse, use the pliers hooked
inside the engine compartment fuse
box cover (see fig. 128 ).
The pliers have two different ends,
specifically designed to remove the
different types of fuses present in the
vehicle.

IN AN EMERGENCY

CHANGING A WHEEL
JACK
Please note that:
the jack weight is 2.15 kg;
the jack cannot be repaired and in
the event of a fault it must be replaced
by another genuine one;
No tool other than its cranking device
may be fitted on the jack.
Maintenance
Prevent any dirt from depositing on
the "worm screw";
Keep the "worm screw" lubricated;
Never modify the jack.
Conditions for non-use
Temperatures below −40°C;
On sandy or muddy ground;
On uneven ground;
On steep roads;
In extreme weather conditions:
thunderstorms, typhoons, hurricanes,
blizzards, storms, etc.
In direct contact with the engine or
for repairs under the vehicle;
On boats.
CHANGING PROCEDURE
134) 135) 136) 137) 138) 139)
52) 53)
Proceed as follows:
stop the car in a position that is not
dangerous for oncoming traffic where
you can change the wheel safely. The
ground must be flat and sufficiently
compact;
stop the engine, engage the hazard
warning lights and the parking brake;
engage first gear or reverse or, for
versions with automatic transmission (if
present), move the lever to position P
(Park);
wear the reflective safety jacket
before getting out of the car (anyway
comply with the laws in force in the
country you are driving in);
open the luggage compartment and
lift up the mat;
using the wrench 4 located in the
toolbox, undo the blocking ring 1
fig. 136;
take out the toolbox 3 and bring it
next to the wheel to be replaced;
take the spare wheel 2;
take the chock 1 fig. 137 and fold it
out as shown in the diagram;

NOTE If replacing a wheel with alloy
rim, stove it temporarily into the spare
wheel compartment with the cosmetic
side facing upwards.
WARNING
134)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.
135)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.
136)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. For safety
reasons, always block the wheels with the
chocks provided.137)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 car
only as needed in order to access the
spare wheel.
138)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.139)A 16” spare wheel is provided with
17" tyres. This spare wheel must be used
only in an emergency. Never use it for more
than strictly necessary and never exceed
80 km/h. On the wheel there is an orange
sticker, summarising the main warnings
regarding wheel usage restrictions. Never
remove or cover the label. The label
contains the following indications in four
languages: "Warning! For temporary use
only! 80 km/h max! Replace with standard
wheel as soon as possible. Never cover
this indication." Never apply a wheel cap
on the wheel. The driving characteristics of
the car will be modified with the wheel
fitted. Avoid violent acceleration and
braking, abrupt steering and fast cornering.
Have the wheel repaired and refitted as
soon as possible. Using two or more spare
wheels at the same time is forbidden. Do
not apply grease to the bolt threads before
fitting: they could come unscrewed.
IMPORTANT
52)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.
53)Contact a Fiat Dealership as soon as
possible to have the correct tightening of
the wheel bolts checked.

IN AN EMERGENCY

FUEL CUT-OFF
SYSTEM
DESCRIPTION
Diesel and petrol versions
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.
LPG versions
(where provided)
On LPG versions, in addition to the
above, the fuel cut-off system stops
petrol supply immediately, closes the
LPG safety solenoid valve and stops
injection, consequently shutting off the
engine.
