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;

For a more accurate reading, it is advisable to check
the pressure reading on the pressure gauge F-fig. 179
with the compressor off and 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 12 V current pin, then
move the vehicle about 10 metres forward to
distribute the sealant liquid inside the tyre and repeat
the inflation operation;
❒if after this operation it is still not possible to reach
at least 3 bar after 10 minutes, do not start driving
since the tyre is excessively damaged and the fast
tyre repair kit cannot guarantee adequate hold.
Contact a Fiat Dealership;
❒if the tyre reaches the pressure specified in the
“Inflation pressure” paragraph in the „Technical
Specifications“ 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 and
brake suddenly.
WARNING
❒After driving for about 10 minutes stop and check
the tyre pressure again; pull up the handbrake.
If the pressure falls below 3 bars, do not
drive any further: the quick tyre repair kit
Fix & Go automatic cannot guarantee adequate
hold because the tyre is too damaged. Contact
a Fiat Dealership.

❒If at least 3 bar pressure is read, restore the correct
pressure specified in the paragraph „Inflation
pressure“ in the „Technical Specifications“ section
(with engine running and handbrake on) and restart.
❒drive with the utmost care to the nearest Fiat
Dealership.
You must inform the dealership that the
tyre has been repaired using the quick
tyre repair kit. Hand the leaflet over to the staff
who will be dealing with the the tyre treated
using the tyre repair kit.
WARNING
If different tyres from the ones supplied
with the vehicle are used, the repair
cannot be carried out. If the tyres are replaced,
it is advisable to use those approved by the
manufacturer. Contact a Fiat Dealership .
WARNING
❒Undo the cap for the tyre valve, extract the pipe
C-fig. 181 with the quick connector and connect it
directly to the valve of the tyre to be inflated.
❒Insert the pin in the nearest 12 V power socket and
start the engine.
❒Rotate the selector clockwise to the pressure
renewal position.
❒Activate the kit by pressing the on/off switch. Inflate
the tyre to the pressure specified in the „Inflation
pressure“ paragraph, in the „Technical Data“
chapter.
NOTE If the tyre has to be deflated, press the
dedicated button B illustrated in
fig. 182. For a more accurate reading, it is advisable to
check the pressure reading on the pressure gauge with
the compressor off and without moving the centre
selector from the pressure restoring position.

MAINTENANCE AND CARE
SCHEDULED SERVICING
Correct servicing is essential for ensuring long vehicle
life under the best conditions.
This is why Fiat has planned a series of checks and
maintenance operations every 40,000/45,000 km.
The scheduled maintenance programme does not,
however, cover all the vehicle requirements; during the
initial period, before the 40,000/45,000 kilometre
service and later on, between services, routine
operations must be carried out like systematically
checking and topping up fluid levels, checking the tyre
inflation pressure, etc.IMPORTANT Scheduled Servicing coupons are specified
by the Manufacturer. Failure to have them carried out
may invalidate the warranty.
Schedule servicing can be carried out by any Fiat
Dealership, at pre-established times.
If there is a need for further replacements or repairs
during any operation in addition to those planned, prior
consent of the Customer must be obtained first.
IMPORTANT It is advisable to contact a Fiat Dealership
in the event of any minor operating failure, without
waiting for the next service coupon.
If your vehicle is used frequently for trailer towing, the
interval between scheduled maintenance services must
be reduced.

IMPORTANT NOTES
❒Avoid braking suddenly, burning starts and violent
knocks against the curb, potholes or other obstacles
if possible. Driving for long stretches over bumpy
roads can damage the tyres;
❒check the tyres regularly for cuts on the sides,
swelling or irregular tread wear. Contact a Fiat
Dealership if required.
❒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,
the suspensions and the steering system;
❒a tyre will age even if it is not used much. Cracks in
the tread and on the sidewalls are a sign of ageing.
Have the tyres checked by skilled personnel if they
have been fitted for longer than six years. Also
remember to check the space-saver wheel very
carefully;
❒In the case of replacement, always fit new tyres,
avoiding those with an unknown origin.
❒If a tyre is replaced, also change the inflation valve.
❒to allow an even wear between the front and rear
tyres, it is advisable to change them over every
10-15 thousand kilometres, keeping them on the
same side of the vehicle so as not to reverse the
direction of rotation.
WHEELS AND TYRES
Check the pressure of each tyre, including the space-
saver wheel, approximately 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 vehicle is used; for the correct tyre
inflation pressure, see “Wheels” in the “Technical
specifications” section. Incorrect pressure causes
abnormal tyre wear fig. 233:
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
country where you are driving.

RUBBER HOSES
As far as the brake system and fuel rubber hoses are
concerned, follow the “Scheduled Servicing Programme”
in this chapter carefully.
Ozone, high temperatures and prolonged lack of fluid in
the system may cause hardening and cracking of the
hoses, with possible leaks.
Careful inspections are therefore necessary.Remember that the road holding
qualities of your vehicle also depend on
the correct inflation pressure of the tyres.
WARNING
If the pressure is too low the tyre will get
overheated, with the risk of serious
damage.
WARNING
Avoid moving the tyres from the right
side of the vehicle to the left side and
vice versa.
WARNING
Never submit alloy rims to repainting
treatments requiring the use of
temperatures exceeding 150 °C. The mechanical
properties of the wheels could be impaired.
