147)The spare wheel supplied (for
versions/markets, where provided) is
specific for your vehicle. Therefore, it must
not be used on other models. Do not
use spare wheels of other models on your
vehicle. The wheel bolts are specific for
your vehicle: do not use them on different
models and do not use bolts from other
models on your car.
148)Repair and refit the standard wheel as
soon as possible. Do not apply grease to
the bolt threads before fitting: they could
come unscrewed.
149)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 vehicle 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 the
one shown on its label.
150)Never tamper with the inflation valve.
Never introduce tools of any kind between
rim and tyre. Check tyre and spare wheel
pressure regularly, referring to the values
shown in the "Technical specifications"
section.
151)No tools other than the crank
provided should be used with the spare
wheel lifting device; it should be operated
by hand only.
152)On versions equipped with self-
levelling air suspension, never introduce the
head or hands in the wheel arch: the
vehicle could raise or lower automatically
depending on possible load or temperature
changes.153)The device should only be operated
by hand, without using any type of tool
other than the crank provided like
pneumatic or electrical screwers.
154)The moving components of the jack
(screws and joints) can also cause injuries:
avoid touching them. If you come into
contact with lubricating grease, clean
yourself thoroughly.
155)The jack should be used on level firm
ground wherever possible.
156)It is recommended that the wheels of
the vehicle be chocked, and that no person

SERVICING AND CARE

IMPORTANT Brake fluid absorbs
moisture. For this reason, if the vehicle
is mainly used in areas with a high
degree of atmospheric humidity, the
fluid should be replaced at more
frequent intervals than specified in the
“Scheduled Servicing Plan”.
COMFORT-MATIC
GEARBOX HYDRAULIC
SYSTEM FLUID
To check the gearbox oil level and to
change the clutch hydraulic fluid, go to
a Fiat Dealership.
194)
WARNING
185)Never smoke while working in the
engine compartment: inflammable gases
and vapours may be present, constituting
a fire risk.
186)Be very careful working in the engine
compartment when the engine is hot:
you may get burned. Remember that the
fan may start up if the engine is hot: this
could injure you. Scarves, ties and other
loose clothing might be pulled by moving
parts.
187)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.188)Prevent power steering fluid from
coming into contact with hot engine parts:
it is flammable.
189)Do not travel with the windscreen
washer fluid reservoir empty: the
windscreen washer is essential for
improving visibility.
190)Some commercial windscreen washer
additives are flammable. The engine
compartment contains hot parts which
could start a fire if they come into contact.
191)Do not release the cap from the
extension without previously extracting the
system using the ring.
192)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.
193)The symbol
, on the brake fluid
container indicates if a brake fluid is
synthetic or mineral­based. Use of mineral
type fluids will damage the special rubber
seals of the braking system beyond repair.
194)Used transmission fluid contains
substances that are harmful to the
environment. It is advisable to have the oil
changed by a Fiat Dealership where it
will be disposed of respecting the
environment and according to legal
requirements.
WARNING
50)When topping up, take care not to mix
up the various types of fluids: they are
not compatible with each other and could
seriously damage the vehicle.
51)Used engine oil and replaced oil filters
contain substances which are harmful to
the environment. To change oil and filters,
we advise you to contact a Fiat Dealership.
52)PARAFLU
UPanti-freeze fluid is used
in the cooling system. Use fluid of the
same type as that contained in the cooling
system for any top-ups. PARAFLU
UP
fluid cannot be mixed with any other type
of fluid. If this occurs, do not start the
engine and contact your Fiat Dealership
immediately.
53)Do not press on the power steering
end of travel with engine on for more than
8 consecutive seconds, since noise is
produced and there is a risk of system
damages.
54)Prevent brake fluid, which is highly
corrosive, from coming into contact with
painted parts. Should it happen,
immediately wash with water.
WARNING
4)Power steering fluid consumption is
extremely low; if another top-up is required
after only a short period of time, have the
system checked for leaks at a Fiat
Dealership.

(§) Range on Methane: 400 km
(°°) The amount of methane depends on the outside temperature, the supply pressure, the quality of the gas and the type of refuelling system. The total volume of
the cylinders is about 220 litres (218.5 nominal) for all versions.
(***) With Webasto: + 1/4 litre - Underseat heating 600cc: + 1 litre - Underseat heating 900cc: + 1.5 litres - Underseat heating + Webasto: + 1.25 litres - Underseat
heating + Webasto: +1.75 litres
(****) When the vehicle is used in particularly harsh weather conditions, we recommend using a 60-40 mixture of PARAFLU
UPand demineralised water.
IMPORTANT Note that when using a fuel like methane, the range is extremely variable because in addition to the vehicle
maintenance and driving conditions it also depends on the temperature of the gas in the cylinder. The methane actually heats
up during the refuelling and cools down whilst driving, undergoing variations in pressure that reduce the quantity that can
be used.
