IN AN EMERGENCY

146)The vehicle's driving characteristics
will be modified with the space-saver wheel
fitted. Avoid violent acceleration and
braking, abrupt steering and fast cornering.
The overall duration of the space-saver
wheel is of about 3000 km, after which the
relevant tyre must be replaced with another
one of the same type. Never install a
traditional tyre on a rim designed to be
used as a space-saver wheel. 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.
147)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 for maintenance or repair activities
under the car or to exchange the
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
positioning of the jack may cause the
raised vehicle to fall: use 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 vehicle only
as needed in order to access the spare
wheel.148)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.
WARNING
53)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.
54)Contact a Fiat Dealership as soon as
possible to have the correct tightening
of the wheel bolts checked.

IN AN EMERGENCY

SCHEDULED
SERVICING
Correct servicing is crucial for
guaranteeing a long life for the car
under the best conditions.
For this reason, Fiat has planned a
series of checks and services at fixed
distance and/or time intervals, as
described in the Service Schedule.
To keep the car’s efficiency in tip-top
condition, in the previous Scheduled
Service plan pages a few additional
checks are listed that should be carried
out more frequently with respect to
the normal coupon redemption
schedule.
Scheduled Servicing is offered by all
Fiat Dealerships according to a set time
schedule. If, during each operation, in
addition to the ones scheduled, the
need arises for further replacements or
repairs, these may be carried out with
the owner's explicit agreement only.
If your car is used frequently for towing,
the interval between one scheduled
servicing operation and the next should
be reduced.IMPORTANT Scheduled Servicing
interventions are set out by the
Manufacturer. Failure to have them
carried out may invalidate the warranty.
It is advisable to inform a Fiat
Dealership of any small operating
irregularities without waiting for the next
service.
PERIODIC CHECKS
Every1,000km or before long
journeys, check and if necessary, top
up: engine coolant level; brake fluid
level; screen washer fluid level; tyre
inflation pressure and condition; lighting
system operation (headlights, direction
indicators, hazard warning lights, etc.);
screen washer/wiper system operation
and positioning/wear of windscreen/
rear window wiper blades.
Every3,000km, check and top up if
required: engine oil level.
For cars with 0.9 TwinAir engines:
every3,000km check the engine oil
level and top it up to the maximum level
if necessary.DEMANDING USE OF THE
CAR
If the car is used under one of the
following conditions: towing a trailer or
motorhome; dusty roads; short (less
than 7-8 km) and repeated journeys
with sub-zero outside temperatures;
engine often idling or driving long
distances at low speed or long periods
of inactivity, the following checks must
be carried out more often than
indicated in the Scheduled Servicing
Plan:
check front disc brake pad condition
and wear;
check the cleanliness of the side,
bonnet and luggage compartment
locks, and the cleanliness and
lubrication of the linkages;
visually inspect conditions of:
engine, gearbox, transmission, pipes
and hoses (exhaust/fuel system/brakes)
and rubber elements (gaiters/sleeves/
bushes, etc.);
check battery charge and battery
fluid level (electrolyte);
visually inspect conditions of the
accessory drive belts;
check and, if necessary, change
engine oil and replace oil filter / pollen
filter / air cleaner.

SERVICING AND CARE

Radio
183) 184) 185) 186) 187) 188)
The radio has been designed according
to the specifications of the passenger
compartment, with a personalised
design to match the style of the
dashboard.
TIPS
Road safety
Learn how to use the various radio
functions (for example, by storing
stations) before beginning to drive.
Care and maintenance
Clean the cover with a soft anti-static
cloth only. Cleaning and polishing
products may damage the surface.
ANTITHEFT PROTECTION
The radio is equipped with an anti-theft
protection system based on an
exchange of information between the
radio and the electronic control unit
(Body Computer) on the vehicle.
This system guarantees maximum
safety and prevents the secret code
from being entered each time the radio
power supply is disconnected.If the check has a positive outcome, the
radio will start to operate, whereas if
the comparison codes are not the
same or if the electronic control unit
(Body Computer) is replaced, the
device will ask the user to enter the
secret code according to the procedure
described in the paragraph below.
Entering the secret code
If the password is required when the
radio is switched on, the display will
show "Radio code" for about 2
seconds, followed by four dashes "- - -
-".
The code is made up of four digits from
1 to 6, each corresponding to one of
the dashes.
To enter the first digit, press the
corresponding button of the preset
stations (from 1 to 6). Enter the other
code digits in the same way.
If the four digits are not entered within
20 seconds, the display will show
"Enter code----".Ifthis occurs, it is
not considered an incorrect code entry.
After entering the fourth digit (within
20 seconds), the radio will start to
operate.
If an incorrect code is entered, the radio
will emit a sound and the display will
show "Radio blocked/wait" to notify the
user of the need to enter the correct
code.Each time the user enters an incorrect
code, the waiting time gradually
increases (1 min, 2 min, 4 min, 8 min,
16 min, 30 min, 1h, 2h, 4h, 8h, 16h,
24h) to a maximum of 24 hours.
The waiting time will be shown on the
display with the text "Radio blocked/
wait". After the text has disappeared it
is possible to start the code entering
procedure again.
Vehicle radio passport
This document certifies ownership of
the radio. The radio passport shows the
radio model, serial number and secret
code.
IMPORTANT Keep the radio passport in
a safe place so that you can give the
information to the relevant authorities if
the radio is stolen.
In the case of loss of the vehicle radio
passport, contact the Fiat Dealership,
taking an ID document and the vehicle
ownership documents.
