STARTING THE ENGINE
EMERGENCY STARTING
Go to a Fiat Dealership immediately if instrument panel
warning light
Yremains on constantly.
JUMP STARTING fig. 163-164
If the battery is flat, the engine may be started using an
auxiliary battery with the same capacity or a little higher
than the flat one. It is advisable to contact a Fiat
Dealership to check/replace the battery.
IN AN EMERGENCY
In an emergency we recommend that you call the freephone number found in the Warranty Booklet.
You can go to our web site at www.fiat.com to find the Fiat Dealership nearest to you.
This procedure must be performed by
expert personnel because incorrect
actions may cause electrical discharge of
considerable intensity. Furthermore, battery
fluid is poisonous and corrosive: avoid contact
with your skin and eyes. Keep naked flames
away from the battery. No smoking. Do not
cause sparks.

REPLACING A WHEEL
GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
Wheel changing and correct use of the jack and spare
wheel (for versions/markets where provided) call for
some precautions, which are listed below. Proceed as follows to start the car:
❒raise the flap A to gain access to the positive battery
terminal fig. 163.
❒connect the positive terminals (+ sign near the
terminal) of the two batteries with a jump lead;
❒connect the negative terminal (–) of the auxiliary
battery to the earth point with a second cable as
shown in fig. 164;
❒Start the engine;
❒when the engine has been started, follow the
sequence above in reverse order to remove the
leads.
If after a few attempts the engine does not start, do not
persist but contact the nearest Fiat Dealership.
IMPORTANT Do not directly connect the negative
terminals of the two batteries: any sparks may ignite the
explosive gas which could come out of the battery.
If the auxiliary battery is installed on another vehicle,
prevent any metal parts on the latter and the vehicle
with the flat battery from accidentally coming into
contact.
BUMP STARTING
Never bump start the engine by pushing, towing or
driving downhill. This could cause a flow of fuel into the
catalytic converter and damage it beyond repair.
IMPORTANT Remember that the brake servo and the
power steering system are not activated until the engine
is started, a greater effort will therefore be required to
press the brake pedal or turn the steering wheel.Indicate that the vehicle is stationary
according to the regulations in force:
emergency lights, refracting warning triangle,
etc. Passengers should leave the vehicle,
particularly if it is very loaded, and wait for the
wheel to be changed away from on-coming
traffic. Apply the handbrake.
WARNING
The spare wheel (for versions/markets
where provided) is specific for your
vehicle. Therefore, it must not be used on
vehicles of a different model. Do not use spare
wheels of different models on your vehicle. The
wheel bolts are specific to your vehicle: do not
use them on other models and do not use bolts
of other models.

Please note that:
❒the jack weight is 4.5 kg;
❒the jack requires no adjustment;
❒the jack cannot be repaired. If it breaks it must be
replaced with a new jack;
❒no tool other than its cranking device may be fitted
on the jack.
Repair and refit the standard wheel as
soon as possible. Do not apply grease to
the bolt threading before assembly: they might
come unscrewed.
WARNING
The jack may only be used to replace
wheels on the car which it equips or
other cars of the same model. Never use the
jack for other purposes, such as lifting other car
models. 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 inflation valve.
Never introduce tools of any kind
between rim and tyre. Check tyre and spare
wheel pressure regularly referring to the values
shown in the “Technical Specifications” section.
WARNING
No tools other than the crank provided
should be used with the spare wheel
lifting device; it should be operated by hand
only.
WARNING
To change a wheel proceed as follows:
❒stop the vehicle in a position where it does not pose
a danger for on-coming traffic and where you can
replace the wheel safely. The ground must be flat
and sufficiently compact;
❒turn the engine off and pull up the handbrake;
❒engage first gear or reverse;
❒wear the reflecting safety jacket (compulsory by law
in certain countries) before getting out of the
vehicle;

❒warn anybody nearby that the vehicle is about to be
lifted. They must stay clear and not touch the vehicle
until it is back on the ground. Lift the vehicle.
After lifting the vehicle:
❒for all versions, when gaining access through the
vehicle’s rear right wheel arch, adjust the screw
A-fig. 167 for the spare wheel retaining device, using
the spanner provided with the extension/adaptor B;
❒indicate that the vehicle has broken down using the
devices required by the regulations in the current
country (e.g. warning triangle, hazard lights etc.);
❒take the extension arm and the wrench from the
tool kit under the passenger seat (see
“Compartment under front passenger seat” in the
“Dashboard and Controls” section);
❒for versions with alloy jacks, remove the press-fitted
hub cap;
❒loosen the bolts on the wheel to be replaced by one
turn;
❒turn the wheel to extend the jack partly;
❒arrange the jack near the lift support closest to the
wheel to be replaced at the points shown in fig. 165.
For short wheelbase versions with retractable
footboard, the jack must be positioned at the lift
point shown in fig. 166 aligned (45°) so that it does
not interfere with the retractable footboard;

WARNING
The moving components of the jack
(screws and joints) can also cause
injuries: avoid touching them. In the event of
soiling with the lubricating grease, clean
thoroughly;
