READ THIS CAREFULLYREFUELLINGPetrol engines: only refuel with unleaded petrol with octane rating (RON) not less than 95 in compliance with the European specification
EN228. Do not use petrol containing methanol or ethanol E85. Using these mixtures may cause misfiring and driving issues, as well as damage
fundamental components of the supply system.For further details on the use of the correct fuel see the "Refuelling the car" paragraph in the "Starting and driving" chapter.
Diesel engines: refuel only with Diesel fuel motor vehicles conforming to the European specification EN590. The use of other products or
mixtures may damage the engine beyond repair and consequently invalidate the warranty, due to the damage caused.
For further details on the use of the correct fuel see the "Refuelling the car" paragraph in the "Starting and driving" chapter.
LPG engines: refuel only with LPG for motor vehicles conforming to the European specification EN589. The use of other products or mixtures
may damage the engine beyond repair and consequently invalidate the warranty, due to the damage caused. For further details on the use of
the correct fuel see the "Refuelling the car" paragraph in the "Starting and driving" chapter.
STARTING THE ENGINE
Versions with manual gearbox (petrol engines) : make sure that the handbrake is engaged; set the gear lever to neutral, fully depress the
clutch pedal without pressing the accelerator, then turn the ignition key to AVV or press the ignition device button; release the key or the button
as soon as the engine has started. Versions with manual gearbox (diesel engines) : make sure that the handbrake is engaged; set the gear lever to neutral, fully depress the
clutch pedal without pressing the accelerator, then turn the ignition key to MAR and wait for the
warning light to switch off. Bring the ignition
key to AVV or press the ignition device button; release the key or the button as soon as the engine has started.
Versions with automatic transmission: make sure that the handbrake is engaged and that the gear lever is in P (Parking) or N (Neutral),
depress the brake pedal, without pressing the accelerator pedal, then turn the ignition key to AVV or press the ignition device button; release
the key or the button as soon as the engine has started.
PARKING ON FLAMMABLE MATERIAL
The catalytic converter develops high temperatures during operation. Do not park the vehicle on grass, dry leaves, pine needles or other
flammable material: fire hazard.
RESPECTING THE ENVIRONMENT
The vehicle is fitted with a system that carries out a continuous diagnosis of the emission-related components in order to help protect the
environment.
ELECTRICAL ACCESSORIES
If, after buying the vehicle, you decide to add electrical accessories (with the risk of gradually draining the battery), contact a Fiat Dealership.
They can calculate the overall electrical requirement and check that the vehicle's electric system can support the required load.
SCHEDULED SERVICING
Correct maintenance of the vehicle is essential for ensuring that it maintains its performance and its safety features, its environmental
friendliness and low running costs unchanged in time.

wear the gloves;
remove the cap from the tyre valve
and connect and firmly tighten the
transparent tube of the sealing fluid 4
fig. 142. If a 250 ml cartridge is present
the housing of the transparent tube is
provided with removable ring to
facilitate extraction. Make sure that the
ON-OFF button 5 fig. 144 is in the off
position (button not pressed);
insert the electrical connector 6
fig. 145 into the 12V socket on the car;
operate the compressor by pressing
the ON-OFF button 5 fig. 144. When
the pressure shown in the Owner
Handbook or on the specific label
appears on the pressure gauge 7, stop
the compressor by pressing the
ON-OFF button 5 again;
disconnect the cartridge 1 from the
compressor, by pressing the release
button 8 and lifting the cartridge
1 upwards fig. 146. If the pressure gauge 7
fig. 144 indicates a pressure lower than
1.8 bar / 26 psi 15 minutes after
starting the compressor, switch off the
compressor, disconnect the sealing
fluid tube 4 from the tyre valve and
remove the cartridge 1 from the
compressor fig. 146.
Move the car by approximately 10 m to
distribute the sealant; stop the car
safely, engage the handbrake and use
the black inflation pipe 9 fig. 147 to
reach the required pressure. If also in
this case, the pressure is lower than
1.8 bar / 26 psi after 15 minutes, do not
resume driving but contact a Fiat
Dealership.

IN AN EMERGENCY
Page 167 of 276

After driving for about 8 km / 5 miles,
position the car in a safe and suitable
area and engage the handbrake. Take
the compressor and restore pressure
using the black inflation tube 9 fig. 147.
If the pressure shown is higher than
1.8 bar / 26 psi, restore the pressure
and drive safely to a Fiat Dealership as
soon as possible. If, however, the
pressure is lower than 1.8 bar / 26 psi,
do not resume driving but contact a Fiat
Dealership.
INFLATION PROCEDURE
Proceed as follows:
stop the car safely, as described
above, and operate the handbrake;
extract the black inflation tube 9
fig. 147 and screw it firmly onto the tyre
valve. Follow the instructions shown in
fig. 145 and fig. 147.
Press the air release button 10
fig. 144 to adjust any tyre overpressure.
CARTRIDGE
REPLACEMENT
Proceed as follows:
only use original Fix&Go cartridges,
which can be purchased from the Fiat
Dealership.
to remove the cartridge 1 fig. 142,
press the release button 8 fig. 146 and
lift it.
WARNING
156) 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. 157)
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.
IMPORTANT
80) The sealant is effective with external
temperatures of between -40°C and
+55°C. The sealant has an expiry date. It is
possible to repair tyres which have been
damaged on tread up to a diameter of
6 mm. Show the cartridge and the label to
the personnel charged with handling the
tyre treated with the tyre repair kit.
