stop the vehicle in a position that is
not dangerous for oncoming traffic
where you can carry out the procedure
safely. The ground must be flat and
sufficiently compact;

speed label C and apply it in a visible
position fig. 132;
wear the gloves;
remove the cap from the tyre valve
and connect and screw the transparent
tube of the sealing fluid D fig. 131
onto the valve. 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 E fig. 133 is in
the off position (button not pressed);
plug the electric connector F fig. 134

WARNING
115)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.
116)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.
WARNING
37)The sealant fluid is effective with
external temperatures 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 who will handle the tyre
treated with the tyre repair kit
CHANGING A BULB
GENERAL
INSTRUCTIONS
117) 118) 119) 120) 121)
Before replacing a bulb check the
contacts for oxidation;
burnt bulbs must be replaced by
others of the same type and power;
always check the headlight beam
direction after changing a bulb;
when a light is not working, check
that the corresponding fuse is intact
before replacing a bulb. For the location
of fuses, refer to the paragraph
"Replacing fuses" in this chapter.
IMPORTANT A slight misting may
appear on the internal surface of the
headlight: this does not indicate a fault
and is caused by low temperature
and the degree of humidity in the air.
Misting will rapidly disappear when the
headlights are switched on. The
presence of drops inside the headlights
indicates infiltration of water. Contact
a Fiat Dealership.
WARNING
117)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.
118)Halogen bulbs contain pressurised
gas, in the case of breakage they may
burst causing glass fragments to be
projected outwards.
119)Halogen bulbs must be handled
holding the metal 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.
120)Where possible, it is advisable to
have bulbs changed at a Fiat Dealership.
The correct operation and direction of
the external lights are absolutely essential
for the safety of the car and of compliance
with the law.
121)Replace the bulbs with the engine
stopped and in a position in which it is not
danger for oncoming traffic and where
you perform the replacement safely (see
the “When parked” paragraph). Also ensure
that the engine is cold, to prevent the risk
of burns.

WARNING
122)If the replaced fuse blows again, contact a Fiat Dealership.
123)Never replace a fuse with another with a higher amp rating; DANGER OF FIRE.
124)If a general protection fuse (MEGA-FUSE, MIDI-FUSE) is activated, contact a Fiat Dealership.
125)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.
126)Contact Fiat Dealership if a safety system (airbags, brakes), engine system (engine, gearbox) or steering system general protection fuse
blows.
WARNING
38)Never replace a fuse with metal wires or other material.
39)If you need to clean the engine compartment, take care not to directly hit the fuse box with the water jet.

IN AN EMERGENCY
JUMP STARTING
If the warning lightremains on
continuously on the instrument panel,
contact the Fiat Dealership immediately.
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. 166:
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 leads reversing the order
above.
If after a few attempts the engine does
not start, do not persist but contact
the nearest Fiat Dealership.
127)
40)
IMPORTANT Do not directly connect
the negative terminals of the two
batteries: sparks could ignite explosive
gas released from 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.
BUMP STARTING
Never bump start the engine by
pushing, towing or driving downhill.
This could cause fuel to flow into the
catalytic converter and damage it
beyond repair.
IMPORTANT Remember that the brake
booster and the 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
127)This starting procedure must be
performed by expert personnel because
incorrect actions could cause electrical
discharge of considerable intensity.
Furthermore, battery fluid is poisonous and
corrosive: avoid contact with skin and
eyes. Keep naked flames and lighted
cigarettes away from the battery and do
not cause sparks.
WARNING
40)Never use a fast battery-charger to
start the engine as this could damage the
electronic systems of your vehicle,
particularly the ignition and engine fuel
supply control units.

FUEL CUT-OFF
SYSTEM
128)
This intervenes in the case of an impact
causing:
the interruption of the fuel supply
with the engine consequently cutting
out;
the automatic unlocking of the
doors;
turning on the lights inside the car.
When the system has been triggered,
the message “Fuel cut off, see
handbook” is displayed on some
versions.
IMPORTANT Check carefully for fuel
leaks, for instance in the engine
compartment, under the vehicle or near
the tank area.
After a crash, turn the ignition key to
STOP to avoid draining the battery.
The following procedure should be
carried out to restore the correct
operation of the vehicle:
turn the ignition key to MAR;
activate the right direction indicator;
deactivate the right direction
indicator;
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 STOP.
Natural Power versions
In the event of an impact to the car, the
petrol and injection supply is cut off
immediately, causing the engine to cut
out and, as a result, the safety solenoid
valves to close.
WARNING
128)If, after an impact, you smell fuel or
notice leaks from the fuel system, do
not reactivate the system to avoid the risk
of fire.
TOWING THE
VEHICLE
The tow ring provided with the vehicle
is located in the tool box located behind
the left seat backrest (Cargo versions)
or in the boot (Combi versions).
ATTACHING THE TOW
HOOK
Proceed as follows:
release the cap A fig. 167 fig. 168;
take the tow hook B fig. 167 fig. 168
from the tool bag;
fully tighten the ring on the threaded
front or rear pin.
