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

This intervenes in the case of an impact
causing:
the interruption of the fuel supply

IN AN EMERGENCY

PLASTIC AND COATED
PARTS
103)
Clean interior plastic parts with a damp
cloth (if possible made from microfibre),
and a solution of water and neutral,
non-abrasive detergent.
To clean oily or persistent stains, use
specific products free from solvents and
designed to maintain the original
appearance and colour of the
components.
Remove any dust using a microfibre
cloth, if necessary moistened with
water. The use of paper tissues is not
recommended as these may leave
residues.
GENUINE LEATHER
PARTS
(where provided)
Use only water and mild soap to clean
these parts. Never use alcohol or
alcohol-based products.
Before using a specific product for
cleaning interiors, make sure that it
does not contain alcohol and/or
alcohol-based substances.
WARNING
186)Never use flammable products, such
as petrol ether or rectified petrol to clean
the inside of the car. The electrostatic
charges which are generated by rubbing
during the cleaning operation may cause a
fire.
187) Do not keep aerosol cans in the car:
they might explode. Aerosol cans must not
be exposed to a temperature exceeding
50°C. When the vehicle is exposed to
sunlight, the internal temperature can
greatly exceed this value.
188) There must be no obstacles on the
floor underneath the pedals; make sure
that mats are always flat and do not
interfere with the pedals.
IMPORTANT
103) Never use alcohol, petrols and
derivatives to clean the dashboard and
instrument panel lens.
