KNOWING YOUR CAR
REFUELLING
PROCEDURE
Diesel and petrol versions
"Capless Fuel" is a device at the
opening for the fuel tank which opens
and recloses automatically when the
fuel supply gun is introduced/removed.
The "Capless Fuel" device is provided
with an inhibitor which prevents
refuelling with incorrect fuel.
Opening the flap
To refuel proceed as follows:
unlock flap 1 fig. 133 by pressing on
the specified point and then open it;
introduce the dispenser in the filler
and refuel;
after refuelling, before removing the
dispenser, wait for at least 10 seconds
in order for the fuel to flow inside the
tank;
then remove the dispenser from the
filler and close flap 1.
The flap is provided with a dust cover
gaiter 2 which prevents deposits of
impurities and dust at the end of the
filler when the flap is closed.Emergency refuelling
If there is no fuel in the vehicle or the
supply circuit is completely empty,
proceed as follows to reintroduce fuel
to the tank:
open the boot and take adaptor 3
fig. 134, located in the tool box or in the
Fix&Go kit container (according to the
versions);
open flap 1 fig. 133, as described
previously;
introduce the adaptor in the filler as
shown and refuel;
after refuelling, remove the adapter
and close the flap;
finally refit the adaptor in the luggage
compartment.
Versions with LPG system
The gas filler is located next to the
petrol filler cap. It has a "non return",
located in the filler body itself.

CHANGING A WHEEL
JACK
Please note that:
the jack weight is 2.15 kg;
the jack cannot be repaired and in
the event of a fault it must be replaced
by another genuine one;
No tool other than its cranking device
may be fitted on the jack.
Servicing
Prevent any dirt from depositing on
the "worm screw";
Keep the "worm screw" lubricated;
Never modify the jack.
Conditions for non-use
Temperatures below −40°C;
On sandy or muddy ground;
On uneven ground;
On steep roads;
In extreme weather conditions:
thunderstorms, typhoons, hurricanes,
blizzards, storms, etc.
In direct contact with the engine or
for repairs under the vehicle;
On boats.
CHANGING PROCEDURE
147) 148) 149) 150) 151) 152)
64) 65)
Proceed as follows:
stop the car in a position that is not
dangerous for oncoming traffic where
you can change the wheel safely. The
ground must be flat and sufficiently
compact;
stop the engine, engage the hazard
warning lights and the parking brake;
engage first gear or reverse or, for
versions with automatic transmission
(where provided), move the lever to the
P (Parking) position;
wear the reflective safety jacket
before getting out of the car (anyway
comply with the laws in force in the
country you are driving in);
open the boot and if there is a cargo
box (for TIPO 5DOOR version only),
remove it as described in the “Cargo
box” paragraph in the “Getting to know
the car” chapter (for petrol and Diesel
versions only);
lift the mat and fix it by the tab to the
fastening device on the parcel shelf
fig. 170 (for TIPO 5DOOR version only);
using the tool 4 in the tool box, undo
the lock nut 1 fig. 171 (for TIPO 5DOOR
version) or fig. 172 (for TIPO STATION
WAGON version);

NOTE The hub cap cannot be fitted to
the space-saver wheel (for TIPO
5DOOR version).
NOTE If replacing a wheel with alloy
rim, stove it temporarily into the spare
wheel compartment with the cosmetic
side facing upwards.
IMPORTANT NOTESTyres with unidirectional tread can be
recognised by arrows on the side of the
tyre which indicate the direction of
rotation. It is compulsory to comply with
this direction. Only in this way can the
tyres maintain their characteristics in
terms of grip, noise, resistance to wear
and drainage on wet surfaces.
If, after a puncture, it is necessary to
fit such a tyre the wrong way round, it
will be necessary to continue driving
with great care, since the tyre’s
performance is limited in these
conditions. This precaution must beborne in mind above all when the road
surface is wet.
In order to benefit completely from
the unidirectional tread, it is advisable to
restore all wheels to the correct
direction of rotation as soon as
possible.
WARNING
147)If left in the passenger compartment,
the punctured wheel and jack constitute a
serious risk to the safety of occupants in
the event of accidents or sharp braking.
Therefore, always place both the jack and
punctured wheel in the dedicated housing
in the boot.
148)It is extremely dangerous to attempt
to change a wheel on the side of the
vehicle next to the driving lane: make sure
that the vehicle is at a sufficient distance
from the road, to avoid being run over.
149)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.150)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: we
advise you to contact a Fiat Dealership.
Never go under the raised vehicle: use it
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.
151)Never tamper with the inflation valve.
Never introduce tools of any kind between
the rim and the tyre. Check tyre and
space-saver wheel pressures regularly,
complying with the values given in the
"Technical specifications" chapter.

IN AN EMERGENCY
IMPORTANT
64)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.
65)Contact a Fiat Dealership as soon as
possible to have the correct tightening of
the wheel bolts checked.
FIX&GO AUTOMATIC
KIT
(where provided)
153) 154)
66)
DESCRIPTION
The Fix&Go quick tyre repair kit
fig. 183 is located in the boot, inside a
dedicated container and consists of:
one cartridge 1 containing sealant
and fitted with: transparent tube for
injecting the sealant 4 and sticker 3 with
the wording “Max. 80 km/h” to be
placed in a clearly visible position (e.g.
on the dashboard) after repairing the
tyre;
one compressor 2;
one leaflet containing instructions for
using the kit;
a pair of gloves located in the hose
compartment of the cartridge 4.
159
152)Observe the following instructions if
the car is equipped with a spare wheel
smaller than the normal size (a 16” spare
wheel is provided with 17" and 18" tyres)
or a space-saver spare 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 spare wheel or spare
wheel must be used only in an emergency.
Never use it for more than strictly
necessary and never exceed 80 km/h.
There is an orange sticker on the
space-saver spare wheel which
summarises the main warnings regarding
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 hub cup on a space-saver
spare wheel or spare wheel. The driving
characteristics of the car will be modified
with the space-saver spare wheel or spare
wheel fitted. Avoid violent acceleration and
braking, abrupt steering and fast cornering.
The overall duration of the space-saver
wheel is 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
spare wheels or spare wheels at the same
time is forbidden. Do not apply grease to
the bolt threads before fitting: they could
come unscrewed.
