GENERAL WARNINGS
If when turning the ignition
key to ON, the warning light
ûdoes not turn on or if it stays on
when travelling (together with the
message on the display) there could
be a failure in safety systems; in this
event air bags or pretensioners could
not trigger in case of impact or, in a
minor number of cases, they could
trigger accidentally. Contact Fiat
Dealership immediately to have the
system checked.
WARNING
Do not cover the backrest of
front and rear seats with
trims or covers that are not suitable
to be used with side bags.
WARNING
Never travel with objects on
your lap, in front of your
chest or with a pipe, pencil, etc. be-
tween your lips; injury may result in
the event of the air bag being trig-
gered.
WARNING
Always keep your hands on
the steering wheel rim when
driving, so that if the air bag is trig-
gered, it can inflate without meeting
any obstacles which could cause seri-
ous harm to you. Do not drive with the
body bent forwards, keep the seat
back rest in the erect position and lean
your back well against it.
WARNING
If the car has been stolen or
an attempt to steal it has
been made, if it has been subjected to
vandals or floods, have the air bag
system checked by Fiat Dealership.
WARNING
Remember that with the key
fitted into the ignition device
even if the engine is not running, the
air bags may be triggered on a sta-
tionary car if it is bumped by anoth-
er moving car. Therefore, never seat
children on the front seat even when
the car is stationary. On the other
hand remember that if the key is not
fitted into the ignition device, no safe-
ty system (air bags or pretensioners)
is triggered in the event of an impact;
in this case, failure to come into ac-
tion cannot be considered as a sign
that the system is not working prop-
erly.

For versions with alloy rims
❒Insert the wheel on the hub and, using
the wrench provided, tighten the
bolts;
❒Lower the car and remove the jack;
❒Using the wrench provided, fully tigh-
ten the bolts in the sequence shown
in fig. 10;
❒Refit the snap-fitted wheel hub cap and
make sure that the reference hole on
the wheel is coinciding with the refe-
rence pin on the cap.
IMPORTANT Incorrect fitting may cause
the wheel cap to come off while the car
is travelling.When you have finished
❒Place the spacer;
❒Fit the jack partially open in its con-
tainer C-fig. 12forcing it lightly to
prevent it from vibrating when travel-
ling;
❒Put the tools back into their places in
the container; REFITTING THE STANDARD
WHEEL
Following the procedure described pre-
viously, raise the car and remove the spa-
re wheel.
For versions with steel rim
Proceed as follows:
❒Make sure the contact surfaces
between standard wheel and hub are
clean so that the fastening bolts will
not come loose;
❒Fit the standard wheel by inserting the
first bolt for two threads into the ho-
le closest to the inflation valve;
❒Fit the wheel cap making the groove
(on the wheel cap) coincide with the
inflation valve and fit the other four
bolts;
❒Using the wrench provided, tighten
the fastening bolts;
❒Lower the car and remove the jack;
❒Using the wrench provided, fully tigh-

MAINTENANCE
❒If a tyre is punctured, stop immediate-
ly and change it to avoid damage to the
tyre, the rim, suspensions and steering
system;
❒Tyres age even if they are not used
much. Cracks in the tread rubber are
a sign of ageing. In any case, if the tyres
have been on the car for over 6 years,
they should be checked by specialised
personnel, to see if they can still be
used. Also remember to check the
space-saver spare wheel;
❒In the case of replacement, always fit
new tyres, avoiding those of dubious
origin;
❒If a tyre is changed, also change the in-
flation valve;
❒To allow even wear between the front
and rear tyres, it is advisable to change
them over every 10-15 thousand kilo-
metres, keeping them on the same
side of the car so as to not reverse the
direction of rotation.
Remember that road holding
depends also on the correct
tyre inflating pressure.
WARNING
Do not cross switch the
tyres, moving them from the
right of the car to the left and vice
versa.
WARNING
If the pressure is too low the
tyre overheats and this can
cause it serious damage.
WARNING
Never submit alloy rims to
repainting treatments re-
quiring to use temperatures exceed-
ing 150°C since the mechanical prop-
erties of the wheels could be im-
paired.
WARNING
RUBBER HOSES
As far as the brake system and fuel rubber
hoses are concerned, carefully follow the
“Service schedule” in this section.
Indeed ozone, high temperatures and pro-
longed lack of fluid in the system may
cause hardening and cracking of the hoses,
with possible leaks. Careful control is
therefore necessary.
