117)The space-saver wheel (for
versions/markets, where provided) is
specific to your vehicle, do not use it on
other models, or use the space-saver
wheel of other models on your vehicle. The
space-saver wheel must only be used in
the event of an emergency. Never use it for
more than strictly necessary and never
exceed 80 km/h. "Warning! For temporary
use only! 80km/h max! Replace with
standard wheel as soon as possible. Never
remove or cover the sticker on the
space-saver wheel. Never apply a wheel
cap on a space-saver wheel. The driving
characteristics of the vehicle will be
modified with the space-saver wheel fitted.
Avoid violent acceleration and braking,
abrupt steering and fast cornering.
118)Use your hazard lights, warning
triangle, etc to show that your vehicle is
stationary. Passengers should get out
of the vehicle, particularly if it is heavily
loaded, and wait for the wheel to be
changed away from the traffic. If you are on
a slope or uneven surface, place wedges
or other suitable objects under the wheels
to secure the vehicle. Have the wheel
repaired and refitted as soon as possible.
Do not apply grease to the bolt threads
before fitting: they could come unscrewed.119)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.
120)Incorrect hub cap assembly may
cause it to come off when the vehicle is
moving. Never tamper with the inflation
valve. Never introduce tools of any kind
between rim and tyre. Check tyre and
space-saver wheel pressures regularly,
referring to the values shown in the
"Technical data" chapter.
WARNING
28)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: do not
touch them. If you come into contact
with lubricating grease, clean yourself
thoroughly.
29)Contact a Fiat Dealership as soon as
possible to have the correct tightening
of the fixing bolts checked.

disconnect the sealing fluid tube D
from the tyre valve and remove the
cartridge A from the compressor fig.
138.
Move the vehicle by approximately 10
m to promote the distribution of
sealant; stop the vehicle safely, operate
the handbrake and restore pressure
using the black inflation pipe L fig. 139
to reach the required pressure. If also
in this case, the pressure is lower
than 1.8 bar / 26 psi 15 minutes after
turning on, do not resume driving
but contact a Fiat Dealership.After driving for about 8 km / 5 miles,
position the vehicle in a safe and
suitable area and engage the
handbrake. Take the compressor and
restore pressure using the black
inflation tube L fig. 139.
If the pressure shown is higher than 1.8
bar / 26 psi, restore the pressure and
drive safely to a Fiat Dealership as soon
as possible. If, however, the pressure
is lower than 1.8 bar / 26 psi, do not
resume driving but contact a Fiat
Dealership.

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.
169F0T0189
139
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.
