WARNING
118)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. It must only be
used for the distance necessary to reach
a service point and the vehicle speed must
not exceed 80 km/h. The space-saver
wheel has an orange label that
summarises the main cautions for use and
limitations. Never remove or cover the
label. The following information is provided
in four languages on the label: "Important!
For temporary use only! 80 km/h max!
Replace with a standard wheel as soon as
possible. Never cover this indication".
Never apply any hub cap to the
space-saver wheel.
119)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. In the event
of a wheel change on a slope or on
unsurfaced roads, chock the wheels (see
the following pages).

IN AN EMERGENCY

120)Vehicle handling is modified with the
space-saver wheel fitted. Avoid violent
acceleration and braking, abrupt steering
and fast cornering. The overall duration
of the space-saver wheel is about 3000
km, after which the relevant tyre must be
replaced with another one of the same
type. Never install a standard tyre on a rim
that is designed for use with a space-saver
wheel. Have the wheel repaired and refitted
as soon as possible. Using two or more
space-saver wheels at the same time
is forbidden. Do not grease the threads of
the stud bolts before fitting them: they
might slip out when driving.
121)The jack shall only be used for raising
the car model it has been supplied with.
Never use the jack for other purposes,
such as raising other car models. Never
use the jack for repair operations under the
vehicle. Incorrect positioning of the jack
may cause the vehicle to fall. Do not use
the jack for loads higher than the one
shown on its label. The space-saver wheel
cannot be fitted with snow chains. If a
front (drive) tyre is punctured and chains
are needed, use a standard wheel from the
rear axle and install the space-saver wheel
on the rear axle. This way, with two
standard front driving wheels, you can
install the snow chains on them.
122)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,
complying with the values given in the
"Technical specifications" chapter.123)At the end of the operation of
raising/locking the spare wheel, the ignition
key must be extracted, taking care not to
turn it in the wrong direction to facilitate the
extraction of the key itself, to prevent the
attachment device from being released and
the wheel assembly not being securely
retained.
WARNING
63)Contact a Fiat Dealership as soon as
possible to have the correct tightening
of the wheel stud bolts checked.

DESCRIPTIONThe "Fix&Go Automatic" kit is located in
the luggage compartment, inside a
dedicated container. Inside the
container there are also a screwdriver,
the tow ring and the funnel for
refuelling, in the event of an emergency.
To access the kit, open the tailgate,
remove the load platform and lift the
carpet.
LPG versions: a tool box secured to
the luggage compartment carpet with
dedicated fastenings contains the kit.
The kit includes:
❒a bottle A fig. 115 containing sealing
fluid and fitted with: filling tube B and
adhesive label C with the wording
“max. 80 km/h” to be placed in a
clearly visible position (e.g. on
the dashboard) after repairing the tyre;
❒a compressor D including a pressure
gauge and connections, found in the
compartment;
113
9-1-2015 12:9 Pagina 113

128)You must always indicate that the tyre
was repaired using the Fix&Go Automatic
kit. Give the leaflet to the technicians who
will be handling the tyre that was treated
using the Fix&Go Automatic kit.
129)Repair is not possible if the wheel rim
is damaged (tread is deformed, causing
air to escape). Do not remove foreign
bodies (screws or nails) from the tyre.
130)Do not operate the compressor for
longer than 20 minutes consecutively. Risk
of overheating. The Fix&Go Automatic kit
is not suitable for definitive repairs, so
the repaired tyres may only be used
temporarily.
131)The bottle contains ethylene glycol
and latex: it may cause an allergic reaction.
It is harmful if swallowed. It is irritant for
the eyes. It may cause sensitisation if
inhaled or on contact. Avoid contact with
eyes, skin and clothes. In the case of
contact, wash immediately with plenty of
water. In the event that it is swallowed, do
not induce vomiting. Rinse out your mouth,
drink large quantities of water and seek
immediate medical attention. Keep out of
the reach of children. The product must
not be used by asthmatics. Do not inhale
the vapours during insertion and suction.
Call a doctor immediately if allergic
reactions are noted. Store the bottle in its
proper compartment, away from sources
of heat. The sealant has an expiry date.
Replace the bottle containing out-of-date
sealant.
WARNING
64)In the event of a puncture caused by
foreign bodies, the kit may be used to
repair tyres showing damage on the tread
or shoulder up to max. 4 mm diameter.
WARNING
3)Dispose of the bottle and the sealant
properly. Dispose of the components
in compliance with national and local
regulations.

position and then to MAR.
LPG versions: in the event of an
impact, petrol supply is immediately
cut-off, the LPG safety valves are
closed and the injection is interrupted,
switching off the engine.
Natural Power versions: in the event
of an impact, the power supply is
immediately cut off, causing engine
switching off.
WARNING
143)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.

The tow hook, which is supplied with
the car, is housed in the tool box, under
the mat in the luggage compartment.FrontManually release cap A fig. 142
pressing at the bottom. Take tow ring B
from its housing in the tool support
and screw it completely onto the
threaded pin.RearManually release cap A fig. 143
pressing at the bottom. Take tow ring B
from its housing in the tool support
and screw it completely onto the
threaded pin.
Versions with Dualogic gearboxMake 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 gearbox. If the gearbox
cannot be put in neutral, do not tow the
vehicle and contact a Fiat Dealership.
WARNING
144)Before starting towing operations,
turn the ignition key to MAR and then
to STOP, without extracting it. The steering
column will automatically lock when the
key is removed, making it impossible
to turn the wheels.
145)Before tightening the ring, clean the
threaded housing thoroughly. Make sure
that the tow ring is fully fastened in the
housing before towing the vehicle.

146)Whilst towing, remember that the
assistance of the brake servo and the
electric power steering is not available,
therefore greater force needs to be exerted
on the brake pedal and more effort is
required on the steering wheel. Do not use
flexible cables when towing and avoid
jerky movements. Make sure not to
damage parts in contact with the car while
towing. When towing the car, you must
comply with all specific traffic regulations,
both in terms of the towing device and
behaviour on the road. Do not start the
engine while being towed.
147)The front and rear tow hooks should
be used only for emergencies on the road.
The car may be towed for short distances
when a dedicated device is used in
compliance with the Highway Code (rigid
bar), and in order to move the vehicle
on the road in preparation for towing or
transport via a tow truck (on the Trekking
versions do NOT use the rear tow hook for
transport on a tow truck: use the front
tow hook). Tow hooks MUST NOT be used
to tow vehicles off the road or where there
are obstacles and/or for towing operations
using ropes or other non-rigid devices.
Respecting the above conditions, towing
must take place with two vehicles (one
towing, the other towed) aligned as much
as possible along the same centre line.
