16)If the engine fails to start with a gear
engaged, the potentially dangerous
situation due to the fact that the
transmission is automatically placed in
neutral will be signalled by a buzzer.
17)If the warning light
flashes for 60
seconds after starting or during an
extended towing period, this indicates a
problem in the glow plug pre­heating
system. Use the vehicle normally if the
engine starts, but contact a Fiat Dealership
as soon as possible.
18)Remember that the brake servo and
power steering are not operational until the
engine has been started, so you need to
apply much more force than usual to
the brake pedal and steering wheel.
19)Never bump start the engine by
pushing, towing or coasting downhill. This
could cause fuel to flow into the catalytic
converter and damage it beyond repair.
20)A quick burst on the accelerator before
stopping the engine serves no practical
purpose; it wastes fuel and is especially
damaging to turbocharged engines.
21)In some cases, when the engine
switches off, the fan could activate for max.
120 seconds.
WHEN PARKED
116)
22)
Proceed as follows when parking and
leaving the vehicle:
engage the gear (on a slope, engage
first gear if the vehicle is facing uphill
or reverse if it is facing downhill) and
leave the wheels steered;
stop the engine and engage the
handbrake;
always remove the ignition key.
If the vehicle is parked on a steep
slope, it is advisable to block the
wheels with a wedge or stone.
On versions equipped with automatic
transmission (Comfort matic), wait
for the letterPto appear on the display
before releasing the brake pedal.
IMPORTANTNEVERleave the vehicle
with the gearbox in neutral (or, on
versions equipped with automatic
(Comfort matic) transmission, before
putting the shift lever in thePposition).HANDBRAKE
Handbrake engagement:The
handbrake lever is located to the left of
the driver's seat. Pull the lever upwards
to engage the handbrake and ensure
that the vehicle does not move.
Handbrake disengagement:slightly
raise the lever, hold the button A
pressed and check that the
warning light switches off on the
instrument panel.
Press the brake pedal when carrying
out this operation to prevent the vehicle
from moving accidentally.
WARNING
116)Never leave children unattended in
the vehicle. Always remove the ignition key
when leaving the vehicle and take it out
with you.
WARNING
22)If the vehicle is equipped with
self-levelling air suspension, always check
that there is sufficient space above the roof
and around the vehicle when parking.
Indeed, the vehicle could raise (or lower)
automatically depending on load or
temperature changes.

Please note that:
the jack weight is 4.5 kg;
the jack requires no adjustment;
the jack cannot be repaired: in the
event of a fault it must be replaced
by another original one;
no tool other than its cranking
device may be fitted on the jack.
150)
To change a wheel, proceed as
follows:
stop the vehicle in a position that is
not dangerous for oncoming traffic
where you can change the wheel safely.
The ground must be flat and sufficiently
compact;
switch off the engine and pull the
handbrake;
engage first gear or reverse;
put on the reflective safety jacket
(compulsory by law in certain countries)
before getting out of the vehicle;
indicate that the vehicle has broken
down using the devices required by
the law in the current country (e.g.
warning triangle, hazard lights, etc.);
In the event of a wheel change on a
slope or on unsurfaced roads, put
any object as stop under the wheels;
take the tool bag from under the
passenger seat (see "Compartment
under the front passenger side seat" in
the "Internal equipment" chapter in
"Knowing the vehicle").
The container includes these tools:
A - tow hook

B fig. 161 onto the screw A fig. 161
of the operating device on the spare
wheel compartment and turn it
clockwise to allow the spare wheel to
raise, until it rests fully against the
sub-platform, making sure that the the
locking mark D fig. 164 has appeared in
the window on the device.
Check that the position of the
replaced wheel under the platform is
correct (the lifting system is equipped
with a clutch to limit the end of the
stroke, incorrect positioning may
jeopardise safety;)
place the removal tools back in the
tool bag / compartment;
place the tool box / compartment in
its housing under the passenger seat.

146)The spare wheel supplied (for
versions/markets, where provided) is
specific for your vehicle. Therefore, it must
not be used on other models. Do not
use spare wheels of other models on your
vehicle. The wheel bolts are specific for
your vehicle: do not use them on different
models and do not use bolts from other
models on your car.
147)Repair and refit the standard wheel as
soon as possible. Do not apply grease to
the bolt threads before fitting: they could
come unscrewed.
148)Use the jack only to replace wheels
on the vehicle with which it is supplied
or on other vehicles of the same model.
Never use the jack for other purposes,
such as lifting other vehicle 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 the
one shown on its label.
149)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.
150)No tools other than the crank
provided should be used with the spare
wheel lifting device; it should be operated
by hand only.
151)On versions equipped with self-
levelling air suspension, never introduce the
head or hands in the wheel arch: the
vehicle could raise or lower automatically
depending on possible load or temperature
changes.152)The device should only be operated
by hand, without using any type of tool
other than the crank provided like
pneumatic or electrical screwers.
153)The moving components of the jack
(screws and joints) can also cause injuries:
avoid touching them. If you come into
contact with lubricating grease, clean
yourself thoroughly.
154)At the end of the operation of
raising/locking the spare wheel, after
checking that the wheel is positioned
correctly under the platform (yellow notch
inside the window on the device), extract
the operating wrench. Take care not to turn
the wrench in the wrong direction (as in
fig. 166) to facilitate extracting it, to prevent
the attachment device from being
released and to ensure that the wheel
assembly remains safely fastened.
155)Each time the spare wheel is moved,
check that it is correctly positioned in its
housing under the platform. If it is not
correctly positioned, this could adversely
affect safety.
156)The spare wheel lifting device is
equipped with a clutch safety system for its
own protection; this could activated if an
excessive load is applied on the
maneuvering screw.FIX & GO

SERVICING AND CARE

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. 194:
Anormal pressure: tread evenly worn;
Blow pressure: tread particularly worn
at the edges;
Chigh pressure: tread particularly worn
in the centre.
The tyres must be replaced when the
tread is less than 1.6 mm thick. In
any case, follow the laws in force in the
country you are in.
196) 197) 198) 199)
IMPORTANT
INFORMATION
As far as possible, avoid sharp
braking and screech starts. Be careful
not to hit the kerb, potholes or other
hard obstacles. Driving for long
stretches over uneven roads can
damage the tyres;
periodically check that the tyres
have no cuts in the side wall, abnormal
swelling or irregular tyre 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
immediately and change it to avoid
damage to the tyre, the rim,
suspensions and steering system;
tyres age even if they are not used a
great deal. Cracks in the tread and on
the side walls are a sign of ageing.
In any event, have the tyres checked by
specialised personnel if they have
been fitted for longer than 6 years.
Remember to check the spare wheel
very carefully;
in the case of replacement, always
fit new tyres, avoiding those of
unknown origin;
if a tyre is changed, also change the
inflation valve;
to allow 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.
IMPORTANT Replacing a tyre, check
that the tyre pressure monitoring
(TPMS) sensor is also taken from the
previous rim, together with the valve.
WARNING
196)Remember that the road holding
qualities of your vehicle also depend on the
correct inflation pressure of the tyres.
197)If the pressure is too low, the tyre will
overheat and could be seriously damaged.
198)Avoid switching the tyres from the
right side of the vehicle to the left side and
vice versa.
199)Never submit alloy rims to repainting
treatments requiring the use of
temperatures exceeding 150°C. The
mechanical properties of the wheels could
be impaired.

SNOW TYRES
A Fiat Dealership will be happy to
provide advice concerning the most
suitable type of tyre for the customer's
requirements.
The performance of these tyres is
considerably reduced when the tread
depth is less than 4 mm. Replace them
in this case.
Due to the specific characteristics of
snow tyres, in normal weather
conditions or on long motorway
journeys, the performance of these
tyres is lower than that of standard
tyres. Their usage should therefore be
restricted in accordance with their
type approval.
IMPORTANT When using snow tyres
with a maximum speed index below the
one that can be reached by the vehicle
(increased by 5%), place a notice in
the passenger compartment, plainly in
view, which states the maximum speed
allowed by the snow tyres (as per EC
Directive).
All four tyres should be the same (brand
and track) to ensure greater safety
when driving and braking as well as a
good manoeuvrability.Remember that you should not change
the rotation direction of the tyres.200)
WARNING
200)The maximum speed for snow tyres
marked “Q” is 160 km/h, while it is 190
km/h for “T” tyres and 210 km/h for "H"
tyres. You should, however, always stick to
the speed limits of the highway code.
SNOW CHAINS
The use of snow chains should be in
compliance with local regulations of
each country.
Snow chains can be fitted to the tyres
of the front wheels (drive wheels) only.
Use of Lineaccessori Fiat snow chains
is recommended. Check the tension
of the snow chains after the first few
metres have been driven.
57)
IMPORTANT With snow chains, use the
accelerator with extreme care to
prevent, or to limit as much as possible,
slipping of the drive wheels that could
cause chain breakage, resulting in
damage to the car body or mechanical
components.
IMPORTANT For versions fitted with
225/75 R16 tyre, use snow chains with
max. thickness 16 mm.
When travelling on snowy roads with
snow chains, it may be helpful to turn
the ASR off: in fact, in these conditions,
the driving wheels skidding when
moving off gives you better traction.
