pull the fuse straight out with the fuse
puller provided on the fuse block
located in the engine compartment
fig. 129;
inspect the fuse and replace it if it is
blown;
insert a new fuse of the same
amperage rating, and make sure it fits
tightly. If it does not fit tightly, contact an
Abarth Dealership. If you have no spare
fuses, borrow one of the same rating
from a circuit not essential to vehicle
operation, such as the AUDIO or
OUTLET circuit;
reinstall the cover and make sure that
it is securely installed.
IMPORTANT Always replace a fuse with
a genuine FCA fuse or equivalent of the
same rating. Otherwise you may
damage the electric system.
FUSES UNDER THE
BONNET
Make sure the ignition is switched off,
and other switches are off and remove
the fuse block cover. If the lock is
forcefully opened, the fuse block cover
may come in contact with the frame
when it is removed and become
scratched.
When removing the cover, remove it
slowly according to the following
procedure:
disengage the rear lock 1 fig. 130 by
pressing down on the front tab with
your fingers;
remove the front tab while slightly
lifting the front of the cover 2;
remove the cover while lifting it and
sliding it to the rear;
if any fuse but the MAIN fuse is
blown, replace it with a new one of the
same amperage rating;
reinstall the cover and make sure that
it is securely installed.

IN CASE OF EMERGENCY
TIRE SERVICE USAGE
PRECAUTIONS
NoteThe tire sealant cannot be reused.
Purchase new tire sealant at an Abarth
Dealership.
The tire service kit cannot be used in
the following cases. Consult an Abarth
Dealership:
– the period of effective use for the
tire sealant has expired (the period
of effectiveness is indicated on the
bottle label);
– the tear or puncture exceeds about
4 mm;
– the damage has occurred to an
area of the tire other than the tread;
– the vehicle has been driven with
nearly no air remaining in the tire;
– the tire has come off the wheel rim;
– damage to the wheel rim has
occurred;
– the tire has two or more punctures.
SEALING A TIRE WITH
TIRE SERVICE
Proceed as follows:
move the vehicle off the right-of-way
to a safe place on a level and hard
surface where the vehicle does not
obstruct traffic;
shift the shift lever to the 1 or
Reverse (R) position (manual
transmission), and shift the selector
lever to the P position (automatic
transmission);
apply the parking brake with the
brake pedal depressed and turn off the
engine;
if necessary, flash the hazard warning
lights and set up the roadside
emergency triangle;
unload passengers and cargo and
remove the tire service kit;
shake the tire sealant well.
IMPORTANT If the bottle is shaken after
the injection hose is screwed on, tire
sealant could spray out from the
injection hose. Tire sealant contacting
clothing or other objects may be
impossible to remove. Shake the bottle
before screwing on the injection hose.
IMPORTANT The sealant hardens easily
and injecting it will be difficult under
cold weather conditions (0°C or below).
Warm the sealant inside the vehicle to
facilitate injection.
remove the cap 1 from the bottle 2
fig. 135. Screw on the injection hose
3 with the bottle's inner cap left on to
break the inner cap;
remove the valve cap 4 fig. 136 from
the flat tire. Press the back of a valve
core tool 6 to the core of the tire valve
5 and bleed all the remaining air;

155
the tire valve 17 fig. 143;
insert the air compressor plug into
the accessory socket 18 fig. 144 inside
the vehicle and switch the ignition to
ACC;
turn the air compressor switch on
and inflate the tire carefully to the
correct inflation pressure;
IMPORTANT When inserting the air
compressor plug into or removing it
from the accessory socket, make sure
that the air compressor switch is off.
When turning the air compressor on/off,
use the air compressor switch.
NOTE Check the tire inflation pressure
label driver's door frame for the correct
tire inflation pressure.
NOTE Do not operate the aircompressor for a continuous
10 minutes or longer because using it
for long periods could cause a
malfunction.
NOTE If the tire inflation pressure does
not increase, repair of the tire is not
possible. If the tire does not reach the
specified tire inflation pressure within
10 minutes, it may have received
extensive damage. In this case, the
repair using the tire service kit was not
successful. Contact an Abarth
Dealership.
If the tire has been over-inflated, loosen
the screw cap on the air compressor
and bleed some of the air out;
when the tire inflates to the specified
tire inflation pressure, turn the air
compressor switch off, turn the sleeve
of the air compressor hose to the left,
and pull it out of the tire valve;
install the tire valve cap;
put the tire service kit into the boot;
start driving immediately to spread
the sealant in the tire.
IMPORTANT Carefully drive the vehicle
at a speed of 80 km/h or less. If the
vehicle is driven at a speed of 80 km/h
or more, the vehicle may vibrate.
If the tire is not properly inflated, the
warning light will illuminate.
after driving the vehicle for about
10 minutes or 5 km (3 miles), connect

the air compressor to the tire and check
the tire inflation pressure using the tire
pressure gauge on the air compressor.
If the tire inflation pressure is lower than
the specified tire inflation pressure, turn
the air compressor on and wait until it
reaches the specified tire inflation
pressure;
the emergency flat tire repair is
completed successfully if the tire
inflation pressure does not decrease.
Carefully drive the vehicle to the nearest
Abarth Dealership and have the flat tire
replaced. Replacement with a new tire
is recommended. If the tire is to be
repaired or reused, contact an Abarth
Dealership.
IMPORTANT Before checking the tire
inflation pressure using the tire pressure
gauge, turn the air compressor switch
off.
NOTEIf an emergency flat tire repair has
been performed using the tire service
kit, FCA recommends that the tire be
replaced with a new one as soon as
possible. If the tire is to be repaired or
reused, contact an Abarth Dealership.
The wheel can be reused if the
sealant adhering to it is removed.
However, replace the valve with a new
one.
REPLACING THE BOTTLE
Inspect the tire service kit at regular
intervals.
Check the tire sealant period of
effective use. Check the operation of
the tire compressor.
IMPORTANT The tire sealant has a
period of effective use. Check the
period of effective use indicated on the
bottle label and do not use it if it has
expired. Have the tire sealant replaced
at an Abarth Dealership before the
period of effective use has expired.
WARNING
174)Punctures on the sides of the tire may
not be repaired. Do not use the kit if the tire
was damaged as a result of being used
when underinflated.
175)Do not adhere the speed restriction
sticker to the padded area on the steering
wheel. Adhering the speed restriction
sticker to the padded area on the steering
wheel is dangerous because the air bag
may not operate (deploy) normally resulting
in serious injury. In addition, do not adhere
the sticker to areas where warning lights or
the speedometer cannot be viewed.176)If the tire inflation pressure has
decreased below 130 kPa (1.3 kgf/cm
2or
bar, 18.9 psi), stop driving and contact a
Dealership. The repair using the emergency
at tire repair kit was not successful. If you
see a decrease in the tire inflation pressure,
stop driving. Contact a Dealership.
177)You must always indicate that the tyre
was repaired using the kit. Give the booklet
to the technicians who will be handling the
tire that was treated using the kit.
178)Repairs are not possible in the case of
damage to the wheel rim (bad groove
distortion causing air loss). Do not remove
foreign bodies (screws or nails) from the
tire.
179)The information required by the
applicable regulation is indicated on the tire
service kit package label. Compliance with
the indications on the label is an essential
condition to ensure the safety and the
effectiveness of the tire service kit. Carefully
read the label before use, avoid improper
use. Tire service kit is subject to expiration
and must be replaced periodically. The kit
should be used by adults and cannot be
used by children.
180)Do not allow children to touch the tire
sealant: ingestion of tire sealant is
dangerous. In the event tire sealant is
accidentally swallowed, drink large
amounts of water immediately and seek
medical assistance. Tire sealant that
comes into contact with the eyes and skin
is dangerous. If tire sealant enters the eyes
or contacts the skin, flush immediately with
large amounts of water and seek medical
assistance.
