53) 54)
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 (if
present), move the gear lever to
position P (Park);
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 luggage compartment and
lift up the mat;
using the wrench 4 located in the
toolbox, undo the blocking ring 1
fig. 136;
take out the toolbox 3 and bring it
next to the wheel to be replaced;
take the spare wheel 2;
take the chock 1 fig. 137 and fold it
out as shown in the diagram;

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.

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.

wear the gloves;
remove the cap from the tyre valve
and connect and firmly tighten the
transparent tube of the sealing fluid 4
fig. 147. If a 250 ml cartridge is present
the housing of the transparent tube is
provided with removable ring to
facilitate extraction. Make sure that the
ON-OFF button 5 fig. 149 is in the off
position (button not pressed);
insert the electrical connector 3
fig. 150 into the 12V socket on the car;

appears on the pressure gauge 7, stop
the compressor by pressing the
ON-OFF button 5 again;
disconnect the cartridge 1 from the
compressor, by pressing the release
button 8 and lifting the cartridge
1 upwards fig. 151.If the pressure gauge 7
fig. 149 indicates a pressure lower than
1.8 bar / 26 psi 15 minutes after
starting the compressor, switch off the
compressor, disconnect the sealing
fluid tube 4 from the tyre valve and
remove the cartridge 1 from the
compressor fig. 151.
Move the car by approximately 10 m to
distribute the sealant; stop the car
safely, engage the handbrake and use
the black inflation pipe 9 fig. 152 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.

applicable regulation is indicated on the
Fix&Go kit package label. Carefully read the
label on the cartridge before use, avoid
improper use. The kit should be used by
adults and cannot be used by children.
144)IMPORTANT: Do not exceed 80 km/h.
Avoid sudden acceleration or braking. The
kit provides a temporary repair, therefore
the tyre must be examined and repaired by
a specialist as soon as possible. Before
using the kit, ensure that the tyre is not
excessively damaged and that the rim is in
good condition, otherwise do not use it
and call roadside assistance. Do not
remove foreign bodies from the tyre. Do
not let the compressor turned on for more
than 20 consecutive minutes - overheating
hazard.
IMPORTANT
55)The sealant is effective with external
temperatures of between -40°C and
+55°C. The sealant has an expiry date. It is
possible to repair tyres which have been
damaged on tread up to a diameter of
6 mm. Show the cartridge and the label to
the personnel charged with handling the
tyre treated with the tyre repair kit.

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;

TOWING THE
VEHICLE
ATTACHING THE TOW
RING
150) 151) 152)
The tow hook provided is located in the
tool box inside the luggage
compartment.
Front
Proceed as follows:
release and remove the protective
plug;
take tow hook 1 fig. 160 and screw it
fully onto the front threaded pin.
Rear
Proceed as follows:
release and remove the protective
plug;
take tow hook 1 fig. 161 and screw it
fully onto the rear threaded pin.
WARNING
150)Before towing, turn the key to MAR
and then to STOP without extracting it. The
steering column will automatically lock
when the key is removed and the wheels
cannot be steered. Also check that the
gearbox is in neutral (on versions equipped
with automatic transmission (if present),
check that the gear lever is in N position).151)The brake servo and the
electromechanical power steering will not
work while the vehicle is being towed. You
will therefore need to apply more force on
the brake pedal and steering wheel. Do not
use flexible ropes when towing, and avoid
jerky movements. During towing, make
sure that the trailer hitch does not damage
any components it is touching. When
towing the car, you must comply with all
specific traffic regulations and adopt an
appropriate driving behaviour. Do not start
the engine while towing the car. Before
tightening the ring, clean the threaded
housing thoroughly. Make sure that the ring
is fully screwed into the housing before
towing the car.
152)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
breakdown vehicle. 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.
