REPLACING FUSES
INTRODUCTION
143) 144) 145) 146)
78) 79)
Fuses protect the electrical system:
they intervene (blow) in the event of a
failure or improper action on the
system.
Fuse extracting pliers
To replace a fuse, use the pliers hooked
to the side of the engine compartment
fuse box cover (see fig. 127 ).
The pliers have two different ends,
specifically designed to remove the
different types of fuses present in the
vehicle.
To take out the pliers, grab them from
the upper tabs, press and pull upwards.
After being used, the pliers should be
positioned properly in their housing,
grabbing them from the upper tabs,
pressing and pushing them until a click
is heard.
FUSE LOCATION
Fuses are grouped together in the fuse
boxes located in the engine
compartment, under the dashboard
and inside the boot.

CHANGING A WHEEL
JACK
154) 155)
Please note that:
the jack weight is 2.8 kg;
the jack requires no adjustment;
the jack cannot be repaired and in
the event of a fault it must be replaced
by another genuine one;
no tool other than its cranking device
may be fitted on the jack.
Maintenance
prevent any dirt from depositing on
the "worm screw";
keep the "worm screw" lubricated;
never modify the jack.
Conditions for non-use
temperatures below −40°C;
on sandy or muddy ground;
on uneven ground;
on steep roads;
in extreme weather conditions:
thunderstorms, typhoons, hurricanes,
blizzards, storms, etc...
in direct contact with the engine or
for repairs under the car;
on boats.
CHANGING PROCEDURE
147) 148) 149) 150) 151) 152) 153)
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 electric parking
brake;
engage first gear or reverse or, for
versions with automatic transmission,
move the lever to position P (Park);
wear the reflective safety jacket
(compulsory by law) before getting out
of the car;
open the luggage compartment and
set the adjustable load platform in the
diagonal position (see "Luggage
Compartment" section of the "Getting
to know your car" chapter);
take out the tool bag supplied,
anchored to the boot mat by special
fasteners. The bag contains fig. 133:
jack A; screwdriver B; adaptor C for
refuelling in the event of an emergency;
pin D for centring the wheel (where
provided, to be used in the spare wheel
fitting procedure); special anti-theft nut
E (where provided, to be used in the
wheel stud bolt fitting/removal
procedure); chock F for blocking the
159

When the operation is completed, lower
the luggage compartment mat and
position the punctured tyre on top of it,
ensuring that it is locked correctly so
that it doesn’t move during driving.
Versions with “Fix&Go Automatic”
kit
To find the “Fix&Go Automatic” kit,
open the luggage compartment then lift
up the mat: the kit A fig. 141 is located
on the right-hand side.
WARNING
147)If left in the passenger compartment,
the punctured wheel and jack constitute a
serious risk to the safety of occupants in
the event of accidents or sharp braking.
Therefore, always place both the jack and
punctured wheel in the dedicated housing
in the boot.
148) It is extremely dangerous to attempt
to change a wheel on the side of the
vehicle next to the driving lane: make sure
that the vehicle is at a sufficient distance
from the road, to avoid being run over.
149) Alert other drivers that the car is
stationary in compliance with local
regulations: hazard warning lights, warning
triangle, etc. Any passengers on board
should leave the car, especially if it is
heavily laden. Passengers should stay
away from on-coming traffic while the
wheel is being changed. For safety
reasons, always block the wheels with the
chocks provided. 150)
The vehicle's driving characteristics
will be 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!
151) The space-saver wheel 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. On the space-saver wheel there
is an orange label, summarising the main
warnings regarding space-saver wheel
usage restrictions. Never remove or cover
the sticker.
152) 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. In this way, with two normal drive
wheels at the front axle, it is possible to
use snow chains (this instruction is also
valid for 4x4 versions).

IN AN EMERGENCY

153)Never tamper with the inflation valve.
Never introduce tools of any kind between
the rim and the tyre. Check tyre and
space-saver wheel pressures regularly,
complying with the values given in the
"Technical specifications" chapter.
154) 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 car raised. If the car is raised more
than necessary, everything can become
more unstable, with the risk of the car
dropping violently. Thus, lift the car only as
needed in order to access the space-saver
spare wheel.
155) 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.FIX&GO AUTOMATIC
