2020 FIAT TIPO 4DOORS Owner handbook (in English)

142)A 16” spare wheel is provided with
17” and 18” tyres. 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
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. Important! 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 vehicle's driving
characteristics will be modified with the
space-saver wheel fitted. Avoid violent
acceleration and braking, abrupt steering
and fast cornering. Have the wheel
repaired and refitted as soon as possible.
Using two or more spare wheels at the
same time is forbidden. Do not apply
grease to the bolt threads before fitting:
they could come unscrewed.
IMPORTANT
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.

EMERGENCY
STARTING
If the battery is flat, a jump starting can
be performed using the battery and the
cables of another vehicle, or using an
auxiliary battery. In all cases, the battery
used must have a capacity equal to or
a little higher than the flat one.
56)
IMPORTANT NOTES
Do not use an auxiliary battery or any
other source of external supply with a
voltage above 12 V: the battery, the
starter, the alternator and the electrical
system of the vehicle could be
damaged.
Do not attempt jump starting if the
battery is frozen. The battery could
break and explode!
PREPARATION TO JUMP
STARTING
The vehicle battery is located in the
engine compartment, behind the left
light cluster.
145) 146) 147) 148)
IMPORTANT The positive terminal (+) of
the battery is shielded by a protective
element. Raise it to access the terminal.
Proceed as follows:
operate the parking brake, move the
lever to P (Park), for versions equipped
with automatic transmission (if present),
or neutral, for versions with manual
gearbox, then set the ignition device to
STOP;
switch off all the other electrical
devices in the vehicle;
should you be using the battery of
another vehicle, park the other vehicle
within the range of the cables used for
the connection, operate the parking
brake and ensure that its ignition is off.
IMPORTANT Never connect the
negative terminals of the two batteries
directly! If the auxiliary battery is
installed on another vehicle, check that
there is no accidental contact of metal
parts between the two vehicles, since
an earth connection may result, with
the risk of serious injury to any people
who may be nearby.
IMPORTANT If the procedure below is
carried out incorrectly, it can cause
severe injury to people or damage the
recharging system of one or both
vehicles. Carefully follow the
instructions given below.
Cable connection
57)
Proceed as follows to carry out a jump
starting fig. 153:
connect one end of the cable used
for positive (+) to the positive terminal
(+) of the vehicle with flat battery;
connect the other end of the cable
used for positive (+) to the positive
terminal (+) of the auxiliary battery;
connect one end of the cable used
for negative (–) to the negative terminal
(–) of the auxiliary battery;
15308066J0003EM
146
IN AN EMERGENCY

connect the other end of the cable
used for negative (–) to an engine earth
(a visible metal part of the engine or
gearbox/transmission of the vehicle
with flat battery) away from the battery
and the fuel injection system;
start the vehicle engine with the
auxiliary battery, let it run for a few
minutes at idling. Start the engine of the
vehicle with flat battery.
Cable disconnection
Once the engine is started, remove the
leads, reversing the order above.
If after a few attempts the engine does
not start, do not persist but contact a
Fiat Dealership.
If it is often necessary to perform a
jump starting, have the vehicle battery
and the recharging system checked by
a Fiat Dealership.
WARNING
145)Before opening the bonnet, make
sure that the engine is off and that the
ignition key is in the STOP position. Follow
the indications on the plate underneath the
bonnet. We recommend that you remove
the key from the ignition if other people
remain in the vehicle. The vehicle should
always be left after the key has been
removed or turned to the STOP position.
During refuelling, make sure that the engine
is off (and that the ignition key is in the
STOP position).
146)Do not get too close to the radiator
cooling fan: the electric fan may start;
danger of injury. Scarves, ties and other
loose clothing might be pulled by moving
parts.
147)Remove any metal objects (e.g. rings,
watches, bracelets), that might cause an
accidental electrical contact and cause
serious injury.
148)The batteries contain acid that can
burn skin or eyes. Batteries produce
hydrogen, which is easily flammable and
explosive. Therefore, keep away flames or
devices which may cause sparks.
IMPORTANT
56)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.57)Do not connect the cable to the
negative terminal (–) of the flat battery. The
following spark could lead to battery
explosion and cause serious harm. Only
use the specific earth point; do not use any
other exposed metallic part.
