position the jack at the lifting support
nearest the wheel to be replaced, at
the points shown in fig. 180. For short
wheelbase versions with a retractable
footboard, the jack must be position at
the lifting point shown in fig. 182,
turned by 45° so that it does
not interfere with the retractable
platform;
warn all bystanders that the vehicle
is about to be lifted. They must stay
clear and not touch the vehicle until it is
back on the ground.
for versions equipped with
self-levelling pneumatic suspension,
before using the jack to raise the
vehicle, press the buttons A and B fig.
183 simultaneously for at least 5
seconds. The operating mode for
raising the vehicle is activated: the
LEDs on the buttons come on
constantly. To exit this mode, press
buttons A and B simultaneously for
another 5 seconds; both LEDs on the
buttons will go out and full system
operation will be restored. This mode
deactivates automatically when the
speed of approx. 5 km/h is exceeded.

lift the vehicle.
After lifting the vehicle:
for all versions, access the rear right
wheel arch, operate the screw A fig.
184 on the spare wheel retaining
device, using the supplied wrench
assembled correctly with the dedicated
extension B fig. 184.
turn the tool anticlockwise fig. 185
to allow the spare wheel to descend;
continue turning anticlockwise until
the stop point, indicated by the
stiffening of the manoeuvre or a click
from the clutch present in the device;

with the tools assembled, undo the
bolts fig. 187 fully and remove the
wheel;
fit the spare wheel, lining up the
holes G fig. 188 with the corresponding
pins H. While fitting the spare wheel,
make sure that the mating surfaces are
clean and free of impurities that could
later cause the fixing bolts to come
loose;
screw in the 5 fastening bolts;
assemble the tools to tighten the
bolts fully, passing alternately from one
bolt to the diagonally opposite one,
following the scheme shown in fig. 188;
use the wheel removal wrench to
lower the vehicle and remove the jack;
At the end of the operation:
take the replaced wheel, reattach it
to the support E fig. 186 and tighten
the knob D;
insert the assembled tool fig. 185
equipped with the dedicated extension
B fig. 184 onto the screw A fig. 184
of the operating device on the spare
wheel compartment and turn it

sub-platform, making sure that the the
locking mark D fig. 187 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.

WARNING
146)Use your hazard lights, warning
triangle, etc. to show that your vehicle is
stationary. Passengers should get out
of the vehicle, particularly if it is heavily
loaded, and wait for the wheel to be
changed away from the traffic. Apply the
handbrake. in the event of a wheel change
on a slope or on unsurfaced roads, put
any object as stop under the wheels.

INFLATION PROCEDURE
166) 167) 168) 169) 170)
Pull the handbrake. Unscrew the
tyre valve cap, take out the filler hose A
fig. 196 and tighten the ring nut B
onto the tyre valve;
insert the plug E fig. 198 in the
nearest 12 V power socket and start
the engine. Turn the selector D fig. 197
anticlockwise to the repair 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;
For a more accurate reading, it is
advisable to check the pressure on the
pressure gauge F fig. 197 with the
compressor off and without moving the
centre selector from the repair position;
if after 10 minutes it is still
impossible to reach at least 3 bar,
release the transparent filler pipe from
the valve and take out the 12 V plug,
then move the vehicle forwards by
about 10 metres in order to distribute
the sealing fluid inside the tyre evenly,
then repeat the inflation operation;

In the absence of the tool box the
vehicle front tow hook is housed in the
on-board documentation container,
together with the Owner Handbook.
To use it, proceed as follows:
Open the flap A and remove it as
shown fig. 203;
turn the lock knob B fig. 203
anticlockwise and remove it to allow the
compartment fig. 204 to be removed;
take the screwdriver provided from
the box and prise up at the point
shown to raise the cap C fig. 206;
take the tow ring D from the box and
screw onto the threaded pin fig. 206.
The rear ring B fig. 207 is located at the
point shown in the figure.
VERSIONS WITH COMFORT-MATIC
TRANSMISSION
Make sure that the gearbox is in neutral
(N) (checking that the vehicle moves
when pushed) and proceed in the same
way as for towing a normal vehicle
with a manual transmission.
If the gearbox cannot be put in neutral,
do not tow the vehicle and contact a
Fiat Dealership.
WARNING
176)Screw on the tow ring and check that
it stops at the end of travel position.
177)Before towing, switch off the steering
lock (see "Starting device" paragraph
under the "Dashboard and controls"
section).
178)The power brakes and power steering
will not operate while the vehicle is being
towed. More effort on the brake pedal and
steering wheel will therefore be required.
179)Do not use flexible cables when
towing and avoid jerky movements. During
towing operations, make sure that the
fastened joint does not damage adjoining
components.
180)When towing the vehicle, it is
necessary to obey specific road regulations
which relate both to the towing device as
well as to the behaviour to adopt on the
road.
181)Do not start the engine whilst the
vehicle is being towed.
182)Towing must be made exclusively on
roads/streets; the device must not be used
to recover the vehicle if it got off the road.
183)Towing must not be made for getting
past significant obstacles on the road
(e.g. heaps of snow or material on the road
surface).

ENGINE OIL
51)Check the oil level a few minutes after
stopping the engine (about 5 minutes)
with the vehicle parked on level ground.
Check that the level is between the
MIN and MAX marks on the dipstick B
fig. 208 - fig. 209 - fig. 210 - fig. 211.
The range between the MIN and MAX
marks corresponds to about 1 litre
of oil.
If the oil level is near or under the MIN
mark, add oil through the filler A fig. 208
- fig. 209 - fig. 210 - fig. 211 using the
supplied filler pipe (for versions/markets
where provided), until it reaches the
MAX mark.
The oil level must never exceed the
MAX mark.
Engine oil consumption
The maximum engine oil consumption
is usually 400 grams every 1000 km.
When the vehicle is new, the engine
needs to be run in, therefore the engine
oil consumption can only be considered
stabilised after the first 5,000–6,000
km.
IMPORTANT The oil consumption
depends on driving style and the
conditions under which the vehicle is
used.IMPORTANT After adding or changing
the oil, let the engine turn over for a few
seconds and wait a few minutes after
turning it off before you check the level.
IMPORTANT Always top up using
engine oil of the same specifications as
that already in the engine.
ENGINE COOLANT
187)
52)
The coolant level must be checked
when the engine is cold and must
range between the MIN and MAX
marks on the reservoir.
If the level is to low, operate as follows:
to access the reservoir filler, remove
the plastic cover A fig. 212 by turning
the locking screws B anticlockwise;
slowly pour a mixture of 50%
demineralised water and 50%
PETRONAS LUBRICANTS PARAFLU
UP
into the reservoir filler C fig. 208 - fig.
209 - fig. 210 - fig. 211 until the level is
close to MAX.
The mixture of 50% demineralised
water and 50% PARAFLU
UPprotects
against freezing down to -35°C.When the vehicle is used in particularly
harsh weather conditions, we
recommend using a mixture of 60%
PARAFLU
UPand 40% demineralised
water.
POWER STEERING FLUID
188)
53)
4)
Check that the liquid contained in the
tank is at the maximum level. This
operation must be carried out with the
vehicle level and with the engine off and
cold.
Proceed as follows:
to access the reservoir filler, remove
the plastic cover A fig. 212 by turning
the locking screws B anticlockwise;
