To change a wheel proceed
as follows:
❒stop the vehicle in a position where
it does not present a danger for on-
coming traffic and where you can
change the wheel safely. The ground
must be flat and compact;
❒turn the engine off and apply the hand-
brake;
❒engage first gear or reverse;
❒wear a high visibility safety jacket
(compulsory by law in certain coun-
tries) before getting out of the vehicle;
❒indicate that the vehicle has broken
down using the devices required by
the law of the country (e.g. warning
triangle, hazard lights etc.);
❒take the extension and the wrench
from the tool kit under the passenger
seat (see “Compartment under front
passenger seat” in the “Dashboard and
Controls” section);
The jack may only be used to
change wheels which come
with the vehicle or from other vehi-
cles of the same model. Never use the
jack for other purposes, such as lift-
ing other models of vehicle. Never use
the jack to carry out repairs under the
vehicle. Incorrect positioning of the
jack may cause the lifted vehicle to
fall. Do not use the jack for loads
higher than those shown on the label.
WARNING
Never tamper with the in-
flation valve. Never intro-
duce tools of any kind between the
rim and the tyre. Check the tyre and
spare wheel pressure regularly refer-
ring to the values shown in the “Tech-
nical Specifications” chapter.
WARNING
Important notes:
❒the jack weighs 4.5 kg;
❒the jack requires no adjustment;
❒the jack cannot be repaired: replace
with an original spare part if damaged;
❒no tool other than the cranking device
may be fitted on the jack.

without moving the centre selector
from the repair position;
❒if a pressure of at least 3 bar is not
reached within 10 minutes, detach
the transparent filler pipe from the
valve and switch off the 12V current
pin, then move the vehicle about 10
metres forward to distribute the
sealant liquid inside the tyre and
repeat the inflation operation;
❒if, in this case too, within 10 minutes
of turning the compressor on, a
pressure of at least 3 bar is not
reached, do not start driving again
because the tyre is too damaged and
the quick repair kit is not sufficient in
this situation and it is necessary to
go to a Fiat Dealership;
❒if the tyre reaches the pressure spec-
ified in “Inflation pressure” pressure
in the “Technical Data” chapter,
start driving immediately;

Apply the adhesive label in a
position clearly visible by the
driver as a reminder that the tyre has
been treated with the quick repair
kit. Drive carefully, particularly on
bends. Do not exceed 80 km/h. Do
not accelerate or brake suddenly.
WARNING
❒after driving for about 10 minutes,
stop and check the tyre pressure
again; remember to engage the
handbrake;
❒if, on the other hand, a pressure of at
least 3 bar is reached, restore the cor-
rect pressure recommended in the
“Tyre inflation” paragraph in the
“Technical Data” chapter (with engine
running and handbrake on) and
resume driving;
Stop if the pressure has
dropped to less than 3 bar:
The automatic Fix & Go fast repair
kit cannot work properly if the tyre
is excessively damaged. Go to a Fiat
Dealership.

WHEN NEEDING TO
CHANGE A BULB
GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
❒When a light is not working, check
that the corresponding fuse is intact
before changing a bulb. For the loca-
tion of fuses, refer to the paragraph “If
a fuse blows” in this section;
❒Before changing a bulb check the con-
tacts for oxidation;
❒Burnt bulbs must be replaced by oth-
ers of the same type and power;
❒Always check the height of the head-
light beam after changing a bulb.
IMPORTANT The headlight inner surface
may be lightly misted over: this is not a
fault but a natural fact due to low tem-
perature and the level of air humidity. It
will disappear as soon the headlights are
turned on. The presence of drops inside
the headlights means water infiltration,
therefore contact Fiat Dealership.
TYPES OF BULBS
Various types of bulbs are fitted to your
vehicle:
AGlass bulbs: clipped into position. Pull
to remove.BBayonet type bulbs: to remove this
type of bulb from its holder, press the
bulb and turn it counter-clockwise.
CTubular bulbs: release them from
their contacts to remove.
D-EHalogen bulbs: to remove the bulb,
release the clip holding the bulb in
place. Halogen bulbs must be han-
dled touching only the metal-
lic part. If the transparent bulb
is touched with the fingers, its
lighting intensity is reduced and life of
the bulb may be compromised. If
touched accidentally, rub the bulb with
a cloth moistened with alcohol and al-
low to dry.
Modifications or repairs to
the electrical system (elec-
tronic control units) carried out in-
correctly and without bearing the fea-
tures of the system in mind can cause
malfunctions with the risk of fire.
WARNING
Halogen bulbs contain pres-
surised gas which, if broken,
may cause small fragments of glass to
be projected outwards.
