Strictly avoid using a rapid battery charg-
er for jump starting: this could damage the
system electronics and the ignition and en-
gine supply control units.
This procedure must be performed by ex-
perts because incorrect actions may cause
considerable electrical discharge. Furthermore,
battery fluid is poisonous and corrosive: avoid con-
tact with skin and eyes. Keep naked flames and
lit cigarettes away from the battery. Do not cre-
ate sparks.
WARNING
BUMP STARTING
Never bump start the engine by pushing, towing or driving
downhill. This could cause fuel to flow into the catalytic
converter and damage it beyond repair.
IMPORTANT Remember that the brake booster and the
power steering system are not active until the engine is
started, so you will need to apply much more force to
the brake pedal or steering wheel.
CHANGING A TYRE
The vehicle is originally equipped with the Fix&Go auto-
matic quick tyre repair kit (see instructions in the next sec-
tion). As an alternative, the vehicle may have a normal-
sized spare wheel.
Wheel changing and correct use of the jack and spare
wheel call for some precautions, as listed below.

CHANGING A FUSE
GENERAL INFORMATION
The fuse is a protective device for the electric system: it
operates if there is a fault or improper intervention in the
system.
Check the state of the corresponding fuse when a device
does not work: the filament A-fig. 173 should be intact.
If it is not, replace the blown fuse with a new one of the
same amperage (same colour).
B intact fuse.
Cfuse with damaged filament.
To change a fuse, use the tweezer D located in the tool
box or the Fix&Go container (for versions/markets where
provided).
If the same fuse blows again, contact
a Fiat Dealership.
WARNING
Never replace a damaged fuse with metal
wires or other recycled material.
Do not replace one fuse with another of
greater amperage; FIRE HAZARD.
If a general protection fuse (MEGA-FUSE, MIDI-
FUSE) is activated, contact a Fiat Dealership.
Remove the key from the ignition and switch off
or disable all electrical devices before replacing
a fuse.
WARNING
To identify the protective fuse, see the tables on the fol-
lowing pages.
If a general protection fuse for safety sys-
tems (air bag system, braking system),
power unit systems (engine system, transmission
system) or steering system is triggered, contact a
Fiat Dealership.

Before towing, turn the ignition key to
MAR and then to STOP without extract-
ing it. The steering column will automatically lock
when the key is removed, making it impossible to
turn the wheels.
WARNING
Before tightening the ring, clean the
threaded housing thoroughly. Before tow-
ing the vehicle, make sure that the tow ring is ful-
ly tightened in its appropriate housing.
Never start the engine when the vehicle is being
towed.
WARNING
Remember that, while being towed, you
will need to brake harder because there
will be no assistance from the brake booster. Do
not use bendy cables for towing and avoid jerking.
During towing operations, make sure that the fas-
tened joint does not damage adjoining compo-
nents. When towing the vehicle, comply with the
specific rules of the highway code regarding the
towing device and road conduct. Do not start the
engine while being towed.
WARNING
The front and rear tow hooks should be
used only for emergencies on the road. You
are allowed to tow the car for short dis-
tances using an appropriate device in accordance
with the highway code (a rigid bar), to move the ve-
hicle on the road in readiness for towing or trans-
porting 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 us-
ing cables 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.

POWER STEERING FLUID
fig. 180-181-182-183-184
Check that oil level with the vehicle on flat ground and en-
gine cold is included between the MIN and MAX refer-
ences on the reservoir body.
The level may go over the MAX line when the oil is hot.
If topping up is required, make sure the oil you use has the
same specifications as that already in the system.Power steering fluid consumption is very
low. If the fluid needs topping up a short
time after the last top-up, have the system
checked by a Fiat Dealership to ensure there are no
leaks.
Do not push the power steering all the way
for longer than eight seconds with the en-
gine running because it will cause noise and
risk damaging the system.
Because it is flammable, do not allow the
power steering fluid to come into contact
with hot parts of the engine.

IMPORTANT NOTES
❒Where possible, avoid braking suddenly, wheel-spinning
and crashing into kerbs, potholes or other obstacles.
Long distances on uneven roads can damage the tyres;
❒check the tyres regularly for cuts on the sides, swelling
or irregular tread wear. Go to a Fiat Dealership if re-
quired.
❒avoid overloading the car when travelling: this may cause
serious damage to the wheels and tyres;
❒if a tyre is punctured, stop the vehicle immediately and
change it to avoid damage to the tyre, the rim, and the
suspension and steering systems;
❒a tyre will age even if it is not used much. Cracks in
the tread and on the sidewalls are a sign of ageing. In
any event, have the tyres checked by specialised per-
sonnel if they have been fitted for longer than six years.
Remember to check the spare wheel very carefully;
❒In case of replacement, always fit new tyres, avoidingWHEELS AND TYRES
Check the pressure of each tyre, including the spare, every
two weeks and before long journeys. The pressure should
be checked with the tyre rested and cold.
It is normal for the pressure to increase when the vehi-
cle is used; for the correct tyre inflation pressure, see
“Wheels” in the “Technical specifications” section.
Incorrect pressure causes abnormal tyre wear fig. 185:
A normal pressure: tread evenly worn.
B low pressure: tread particularly worn at the edges.
C high pressure: tread particularly worn in the centre.
The tyres must be replaced when the tread is less than 1.6
mm thick. In all cases, follow the laws in force in the coun-
try where you are driving.

LEATHER UPHOLSTERED STEERING
WHEEL/GEAR KNOB/HANDBRAKE LEVER
(for versions/market, where provided)
These components must be cleaned with mild soap and
water only. Never use spirits or alcohol-based products.
Read the product label carefully before using specific prod-
ucts for cleaning the interiors: make sure the product does
not contain spirits or alcohol-based substances.
If, when cleaning the windscreen with special products,
window cleaner accidentally drips onto the leather of the
steering wheel/gear lever knob/hand brake, wipe away im-
mediately and then wash the affected area with mild soap
and water.
IMPORTANT Be careful when installing a steering wheel
locking device not to damage the leather upholstery. SEATS AND FABRIC PARTS
Remove dust with a soft brush or a vacuum cleaner. It is
advisable to use a damp brush on velvet upholstery.
Rub the seats with a sponge and a solution of water and
mild soap.
PLASTIC PARTS
It is advisable to clean interior plastic parts with a damp
cloth and a solution of water and non-abrasive mild soap.
To remove grease and tough stains, use products designed
specifically for cleaning plastics. These have no solvents
and have been designed so that they do not alter the ap-
pearance and colour of the components.
IMPORTANT Never use spirits or petroleum to clean the
instrument panel glass.
