WARNING
128)If the replaced fuse blows again, contact a Fiat Dealership.
129)Never replace a fuse with another with a higher amp rating; DANGER OF FIRE.
130)If a general protection fuse (MEGA-FUSE, MIDI-FUSE) is activated, contact a Fiat Dealership.
131)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.
132)Contact Fiat Dealership if a safety system (airbags, brakes), engine system (engine, gearbox) or steering system general protection fuse
blows.
WARNING
31)Never replace a fuse with metal wires or anything else.
32)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. 169:
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.
133)
33)
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
133)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
33)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
134)
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
134)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. 170 fig. 171;
take the tow hook B fig. 170 fig. 171
from the tool bag;
fully tighten the ring on the threaded
front or rear pin.

IN AN EMERGENCY
Versions with COMFORT-MATIC
transmission
Make sure that the gearbox is in neutral
(N) (checking that the vehicle moves
when pushed) and proceed in the same
way as for towing a normal vehicle
with a manual transmission.
If the gear lever cannot be put in
neutral, do not tow the vehicle, but
contact a Fiat Dealership.
WARNING
135)Before towing, turn the ignition key to
MAR-ON and then to STOP without
removing it. The steering column
will automatically lock when the key is
removed and the wheels cannot be
steered.
136)Before tightening the hook clean the
threaded housing thoroughly. Before
towing the vehicle, make sure that the tow
ring is fully tightened in its appropriate
housing.137)Do not start the engine whilst the
vehicle is being towed.
138)Remember that the brake booster will
not work while the vehicle is being towed
and that more pressure must be applied to
the pedal. Do not use flexible cables when
towing and avoid jerky movements. During
towing operations, make sure that the
fastened joint does not damage adjoining
components. When towing the vehicle, it is
necessary to obey specific road regulations
which relate both to the towing device as
well as to the behaviour to adopt on the
road. Do not start the engine whilst the
vehicle is being towed.
WARNING
34)The front and rear tow hooks should
be used only for emergencies on the road.
You are allowed to tow the vehicle for
short distances using an appropriate
device in accordance with the highway
code (a rigid bar), to move the vehicle on
the road in readiness for towing or
transport via a tow truck. Tow hooks
MUST NOT be used to tow vehicles off the
road or where there are obstacles and/or
for towing operations using cables or other
non-rigid devices. In compliance with the
above conditions, towing must take place
with the two vehicles (one towing, the
other towed) aligned as much as possible
along the same centre line.

WARNING
INTERIOR FITTINGS
Never travel with the glove compartment open: it could injure the passenger in the event of a crash.
The cigar lighter gets extremely hot. Handle it carefully and make sure children don't touch it: risk of fire and/or burning.
Do not use the ashtray as a waste paper basket: it may catch fire in contact with cigarette stubs.
Do not use the book rest in a vertical position with the vehicle in motion.
ROOF RACK/SKI RACK
Fully comply with the regulations in force concerning maximum clearance.
After travelling for a few kilometres, check to ensure that the fixing screws for the attachments are well tightened.
INTERIOR
Never use flammable products, such as petroleum ether or modified petrol, to clean the inside of the vehicle. The electrostatic charges
which are generated by rubbing during the cleaning operation may cause a fire.
Do not keep aerosol cans in the vehicle: they might explode. Aerosol cans must not be exposed to temperatures of more than 50°C.
When the vehicle is exposed to sunlight, the temperature inside can greatly exceed this value.
EOBD SYSTEM
If, when the ignition key is turned to MAR, thewarning light does not switch on, switches on constantly or flashes when driving (on
certain versions together with the message on the display), contact a Fiat Dealership as soon as possible. The operation of thewarning
light may be checked by the traffic police using specific devices. Comply with the laws and regulations of the country where you are driving.
WHEELS AND TYRES
You must not exceed 160 km/h on snow tyres with a “Q” mark; in any case, make sure you stick to the rules of the highway code.
POWER SUPPLY
Modifications or repairs to the supply system that are not carried out correctly or do not take the system technical specifications into
account can cause malfunctions leading to the risk of fire.
RIM PROTECTOR TYRES
DO NOT fit wheel hub caps when using integral hub caps fixed (with springs) to the steel rim and after sale tyres provided with a Rim
Protector. Use of unsuitable tyres and wheel caps may cause sudden decrease of tyre pressure.
