32) CHANGING A WHEEL
•The space-saver wheel (for versions/markets, where
provided) is specific to your car, do not use it on other models,
or use the space-saver wheel of other models on your car.
The space-saver wheel must only be used in an emergency.
Never use it for more than strictly necessary and never exceed
80 km/h.
•On the space-saver wheel there is an orange label,
summarising the main warnings regarding space-saver 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 a space-saver wheel.
•If you change the type of wheel (alloy rims instead of
steel rims and vice versa) you will have to change the entire set
of fastening bolts with another set of suitably sized bolts.
•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. On hills or
uneven roads, use chocks or appropriate objects to block the
wheels of the vehicle.
•The driving features of the car may change when a space-
saver wheel is fitted. Avoid violent acceleration and braking,
abrupt steering and fast cornering.
The total life of a space-saver wheel is approximately 3,000
km, after which it must be replaced by another wheel of the
same type. Never install a traditional tyre on a rim designed to
be used as a space-saver wheel.
PERSONAL SAFETY
(CONTINUED)
Have the wheel repaired and refitted as soon as possible. Using
two or more space-saver wheels at the same time is forbidden.
Do not apply grease to the bolt threads before fitting: they could
come unscrewed.
•Snow chains cannot be fitted to the space-saver wheel.
So, if a front (drive) wheel is punctured and chains are needed,
a rear wheel should be fitted to the front of the car and the
space-saver wheel should be fitted to the rear. In this way,
equipped with two normal drive wheels at the front, they can be
fitted with snow chains, thus resolving the emergency situation.
•If the hub cap is not fitted correctly, it may come off when the
car is travelling.
Never tamper with the inflation valve.
Never introduce tools of any kind between rim and tyre. Check
tyre and space-saver wheel pressures regularly, complying with
the values given in the “Technical specifications” chapter.
•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.
Never go under the raised vehicle. If any work under the vehicle
is necessary, contact the Fiat Service Network. Incorrect
placing of the jack can cause the vehicle to drop: use it only in
the positions indicated.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION AND RECOMMENDATIONS
198
PERSONAL SAFETY
(CONTINUED)
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 tyre.
33) FIX&GO QUICK TYRE REPAIR KIT
•The information required by the applicable regulation is
indicated on the Fix&Go kit package label. Carefully read the
label on the cartridge before use, avoid improper use. The kit
should be used by adults and cannot be used by children.
IMPORTANT: Do not exceed 80 km/h. Avoid sudden
acceleration or braking. The kit provides a temporary repair,
therefore the tyre must be examined and repaired by a
specialist as soon as possible. Before using the kit, ensure that
the tyre is not excessively damaged and that the rim is in good
condition, otherwise do not use it and call roadside assistance.
Do not remove foreign bodies from the tyre. Do not let the
compressor turned on for more than 20 consecutive minutes -
overheating hazard.
34) CHANGING A BULB
•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.
•Halogen bulbs contain pressurised gas, in the case of
breakage they may burst causing glass fragments to be
projected outwards.
•Due to the high power supply voltage, gas discharge bulbs
(Xenon) should only be replaced by specialised personnel:
danger of death! Contact a Fiat Dealership.35) REPLACING FUSES
•If the replaced fuse blows again, contact a Fiat Dealership.
•Never replace a fuse with metal wires or anything else.
•Never replace a fuse with another with a higher amp rating; RISK
OF FIRE.
•If a general fuse (MEGA-FUSE, MIDI-FUSE,
MAXI-FUSE) blows contact a Fiat Dealership.
•Before replacing a fuse, make sure that the ignition key has
been removed and that all the other services are switched off
and/or disengaged.
•Contact Fiat Dealership if a safety system (airbags, brakes),
engine system
(engine, gearbox) or steering system general protection fuse
blows.
36) BATTERY RECHARGING
•Battery fluid is poisonous and corrosive:
avoid contact with your skin and eyes. The battery should be
charged in a well ventilated place, away from naked flames or
possible sources of sparks: danger of explosion and fire.
•Do not attempt to charge a frozen battery: it must be thawed
first, otherwise it may explode.
If freezing has occurred, the battery should be checked by skilled
personnel to make sure that the internal elements are not
damaged and that the body is not cracked, with the risk of leaking
poisonous and corrosive acid.
37) TOWING THE CAR
•Before tightening the ring clean the threaded housing thoroughly.
Make sure that the ring is fully fastened in the housing before
towing the car.

PERSONAL SAFETY
(CONTINUED)
• The electronic Cruise Control can be dangerous if the system is
unable to maintain a constant speed. In specific conditions speed
may be excessive, resulting in the risk of losing control of the
vehicle and causing accidents. Do not use the device in heavy
traffic or on winding, icy, snowy or slippery roads.
39) SERVICING - CHECKING FLUID LEVELS
•Never smoke while working in the engine compartment: gas
and inflammable vapours may be present, with the risk of fire.
•Be very careful when working in the engine compartment when
the engine is hot: you may get burned. Remember that when the
engine is hot, the fan may operate: danger of injury. Scarves, ties
and other loose clothing might be pulled by moving parts.
•The cooling system is pressurised. If necessary, only replace
the plug with another original or the operation of the system may
be adversely affected. Do not remove the reservoir plug when the
engine is hot: you risk scalding yourself.
•Do not travel with the windscreen washer fluid reservoir empty:
the windscreen washer is essential for improving visibility.
•Some commercial windscreen washer additives are flammable.
The engine compartment contains hot components which may
set it on fire.
•Brake fluid is poisonous and highly corrosive. In the event of
accidental contact, immediately wash the affected parts with
water and mild soap. Then rinse thoroughly. Call a doctor
immediately if swallowed.
•Symbol
πon the contain indicates a synthetic brake fluid,
which is different from a mineral fluid.
Use of a mineral type fluid will damage the special rubber seals of
the braking system beyond repair.
•Battery fluid is poisonous and corrosive. Avoid contact with skin
and eyes. Keep naked flames and sources of sparks away from
the battery: risk of explosion and fire. •Before towing, turn the ignition key to MAR and then to STOP
without removing it. The steering column will automatically lock
when the key is removed and the wheels cannot be steered.
•When towing, remember that without the help of the brake
servo and electric power steering, a greater effort is required on
the pedal and steering wheel.
•Do not use flexible cables 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 vehicle, you must comply with all specific
traffic regulations, both in terms of the towing device and
behaviour on the road.
•Do not start the engine while towing the car.
•The (front/rear) tow hook must be used exclusively for
roadside assistance operations.
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.
The tow hook 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.
38) ELECTRONIC CRUISE CONTROL
•Never move the shift lever to neutral when driving with the
device active.
• In the event of device malfunction or failure, contact a Fiat
Dealership.
201
PERSONAL SAFETY
(CONTINUED)
It is therefore advisable to fill up with fuel at the first LPG
refuelling to obtain a more “precise” indication of the level.
•If gas is smelt, switch from LPG operation to petrol operation
and immediately go to a Fiat Dealership to have the vehicle
checked and possible system faults excluded.
46) ENVIRONMENT PROTECTION SYSTEMS
•The catalytic converter and particulate filter (DPF) reach very
high temperatures during operation.
Therefore, do not park the car on flammable materials (e.g.
grass, dry leaves, pine needles etc.) to avoid the risk of fire.
47) MULTIMEDIA
•Follow the safety rules provided: otherwise serious injuries
may occur to the occupants or the system may be damaged.
•If the volume is too loud this can be dangerous.
Adjust the volume so that you can still hear background noises
(e.g. horns, ambulances, police vehicles, etc.)
•Where provided, my:Car app is not intended to replace the
vehicle Owner Handbook.
•Do not carry out other operations during installation and wait
for its completion, in order not to affect correct operation of the
radio.48) iTPMS SYSTEM
•If the system signals a pressure decrease on one or more tyres,
it is recommended to always check the pressure on all four tyres.
•The iTPMS does not relieve the driver from the obligation to
check the tyre pressure every month; it is not to be considered a
system to replace maintenance or a safety system.
•Tyre pressure must be checked with tyres cold. Should it
become necessary for whatever reason to check pressure with
warm tyres, do not reduce pressure even though it is higher than
the prescribed value, but repeat the check when tyres are cold.
•The iTPMS cannot indicate sudden tyre pressure drops (for
example when a tyre bursts). In this case, stop the vehicle,
braking with
caution and avoiding abrupt steering.
•The system only warns that the tyre pressure is low: it is not
able to inflate them.
•Insufficient tyre inflation increases fuel consumption, reduces
the tread duration and may affect the capacity to drive safely.
