147)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.
148)Repair and refit the standard wheel as
soon as possible. Do not apply grease to
the bolt threads before fitting: they could
come unscrewed.
149)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.
150)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.
151)No tools other than the crank
provided should be used with the spare
wheel lifting device; it should be operated
by hand only.
152)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.153)The device should only be operated
by hand, without using any type of tool
other than the crank provided like
pneumatic or electrical screwers.
154)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.
155)The jack should be used on level firm
ground wherever possible.
156)It is recommended that the wheels of
the vehicle be chocked, and that no person
should remain in a vehicle that is being
jacked.
157)No person should place any portion of
their body under a vehicle that is
supported by a jack.
158)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. 189) to facilitate extracting it, to prevent
the attachment device from being
released and to ensure that the wheel
assembly remains safely fastened.
159)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.
160)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

IN AN EMERGENCY

if after this operation it is still
impossible after 10 minutes to reach at
least 3 bar, do not start driving since
the tyre is excessively damaged and the
quick tyre repair kit cannot guarantee
proper hold, contact a Fiat Dealership;
if the tyre reaches the pressure
specified in “Inflation pressure”
paragraph in the "Technical Data"
section, start driving immediately;
after having driven for about 10
minutes, stop and recheck the tyre
pressure; remember to apply the
handbrake;
if a pressure value of at least 3 bar is
detected, restore the correct pressure
prescribed in the paragraph “Inflation
pressure” in “Technical specification”
(with the engine running and the
handbrake engaged), resume driving
and drive with care to nearest Fiat
Dealership.
WARNING
161)Give the booklet to the personnel who
will be handling the tyre treated with the
repair kit.
162)Holes and damage on the tyre side
walls cannot be repaired. Do not use
the quick tyre repair kit if the damage is
due to running with flat tyre.
163)Repairs are not possible in the case of
damage to the wheel rim (bad groove
distortion causing air loss). Do not remove
the foreign body (screws or nails) from
the tyre.
164)Never operate the compressor for
longer than 20 consecutive minutes. Risk
of overheating. Tyres repaired with the
quick tyre repair kit must only be used
temporarily, as the kit is not suitable for a
definitive repair.165)The bottle contains ethylene glycol. It
contains latex that might cause allergic
reactions. It is harmful if swallowed. Eye
irritant. It may cause sensitisation if inhaled
or on contact. Avoid contact with eyes,
skin and clothes. In the event of contact,
wash immediately with plenty of water.
In the event that it is swallowed, do not
induce vomiting. Rinse out your mouth,
drink large quantities of water and seek
immediate medical attention. Keep out of
the reach of children. The product must
not be used by asthmatics. Do not inhale
the vapours during insertion and suction.

167)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. Avoid
sudden acceleration or braking.
168)If the pressure falls below 3 bar, do
not drive any further: the Fix & Go
automatic quick tyre repair kit cannot
guarantee suitable sealing because the tyre
is too damaged. Contact a Fiat Dealership.
169)Inform the Dealership that the tyre
has been repaired using the quick tyre
repair kit. Give the booklet to the personnel
who will be handling the tyre treated with
the repair kit.

USEFUL ADVICE FOR
EXTENDING THE LIFE OF
YOUR BATTERY
To avoid draining your battery and
make it last longer, observe the
following instructions:
when you park the vehicle, ensure
that the doors, tailgate and bonnet are
closed properly, to prevent any roof
lights from remaining on inside the
passenger's compartment;
switch off all roof lights inside the
vehicle: the vehicle is however
equipped with a system which switches
all internal lights off automatically;
do not keep accessories (e.g. radio,
hazard warning lights, etc.) switched
on for a long time when the engine
is not running;
before carrying out any operation on
the electrical system, disconnect the
negative battery cable through the
suitable terminal;
completely tighten the battery
terminals.IMPORTANT After turning the ignition
key to STOP and having closed the
driver side door, wait at least one
minute before disconnecting the
electrical supply from the battery. When
reconnecting the electrical supply to
the battery, make sure that the ignition
key is in the STOP position and the
driver side door is closed.
IMPORTANT If the charge level remains
under 50% for a long time, the battery
is damaged by sulphation, reducing
its capacity and efficiency at start-up.
The battery will also be more at risk
of freezing (this can happen already at
-10°C).
Refer to the paragraph "Car inactivity"
in "Starting and driving" if the car is
left parked for a long time.If, after buying the vehicle, you want to
install electrical accessories which
require permanent electric supply
(alarm, etc.) or accessories that in any
case burden the electrical supply,
contact a Fiat Dealership, whose
qualified personnel, in addition
to suggesting the most suitable devices
from Lineaccessori MOPAR, will
evaluate the overall electrical
consumption, checking whether the
vehicle electrical system is capable of
withstanding the load required, or
whether it should be integrated with a
more powerful battery.
Since some of these devices continue
to consume electricity even when
the engine is off, they gradually run
down the battery.
IMPORTANT If a tachograph is fitted, if
the vehicle is parked for a long period
of 5 days, it is advisable to disconnect
the negative battery terminal to
maintain its charge.
If the vehicle is equipped with a battery
disconnection function (disconnector),
see the description of the procedure
in the "Controls" paragraph in the
"Dashboard and controls" section.
