STARTING
THE ENGINE
EMERGENCY START
Go to a Fiat Dealership immediately if
warning light Ycomes on steady on the
instrument panel.
STARTING THE ENGINE
WITH THE AUXILIARY
BATTERY
If the battery is down, the engine can be
started using an auxiliary battery having
the same capacity, or higher.
For engine starting follow the procedure
below, fig. 1.
❒Connect positive terminals (+near the
terminal) of the two batteries with a
jump lead;
❒With a second lead, connect the nega-
tive terminal (–) of the auxiliary battery
to an earthing point Eon the engine or
the gearbox of the vehicle to be start-
ed.
❒Start the engine.
❒When the engine has been started, fol-
low the sequence above in reverse or-
der to remove the leads.If after a few attempts the engine will not
start, do not insist but contact the near-
est Fiat Dealership.
IMPORTANT Never connect the negative
terminals of the two batteries directly:
sparks could ignite explosive gas released
from the battery. If the auxiliary battery is
installed on another vehicle, prevent acci-
dental contact between metallic parts of
the two vehicles.BUMP STARTING
Never jump start the engine by pushing,
towing or driving downhill. This could
cause a flow of fuel into the catalytic con-
verter and damage it beyond repair.
IMPORTANT Remember that the brake
booster and the power steering system
are not operating until the engine is start-
ed. A greater effort will, therefore, be re-
quired to press the brake pedal or turn
the steering wheel.
Never use a quick battery
charger for emergency start
operations: this might dam-
age the electronic system and
the engine start/supply control units.
This procedure must be per-
formed by expert personnel
because incorrect actions may cause
electrical discharge of considerable in-
tensity. 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.

IF A TYRE

Cargo versions
The vehicle is supplied with a regular size
spare wheel. Alternatively, the vehicle may
be equipped with a “Fix&Go fast tyre re-
pair kit” (see instructions in next section).
Combi versions
The vehicle is supplied with a “Fix&Go fast
tyre repair kit” (see instructions in next
section). As an alternative to the Fix&Go
kit, the vehicle may be equipped with a
regular size spare wheel.
Wheel changing and correct use of the jack
and spare wheel call for some precautions
as listed below.
The spare wheel (where pro-
vided) is specific for your ve-
hicle. Therefore, it must not be used
on vehicles of a different model. Do
not use spare wheels of different
models on your vehicle. The spare
wheel must only be used in an emer-
gency. Use it as shortly as possible.
WARNING
Indicate that the vehicle is
stationary according to the
laws in force: emergency lights, re-
fracting warning triangle, etc. Pas-
sengers should leave the vehicle, par-
ticularly if it is very loaded, and wait
for the wheel to be changed away
from on-coming traffic. In case of
steep slopes or rough slopes, place
wedges or other materials suitable to
stop the vehicle under the wheels. Re-
pair and refit the standard wheel as
soon as possible. Do not apply grease
to the bolt threading before assem-
bly: the bolts could come loose un-
expectedly.
WARNING
Use the jack only to replace
wheels on the vehicle with
which it is supplied or on other vehi-
cles of the same model. Never use the
jack for other purposes, such as lift-
ing other vehicle models. Never use the
jack to carry out repairs under the ve-
hicle. 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
Incorrect wheel cap assem-
bly may cause it to come off
when the vehicle is travelling. Never
tamper with the inflation valve. Nev-
er introduce tools of any kind be-
tween rim and tyre. Regularly check
the pressure of the tyres and small
spare wheel referring to the values
shown in the “Technical Specifica-
tions” section.

Important notes:
❒the jack weight is 1.76 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 the cranking device
has to be fitted on the jack.To replace a tyre proceed as follows:
❒stop the vehicle in a position so that it
is not a danger for on-coming traffic in
a location where you can replace the
wheel safely. The ground must be flat
and compact.
❒Turn the engine off and pull up the
handbrake.
❒Engage first gear or reverse.

❒Start expanding the jack so that it par-

der the vehicle near the reference
grooves A-fig. 9close to the wheel to
be replaced.
❒Expand the jack until groove A-fig. 10
on the jack correctly matches the low-
er profile Bon the side frame.
❒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.❒Fully expand the jack and lift the vehi-
cle until the wheel is a few centimetres
above ground level. When turning the
jack handle, make sure that it rotates
freely without risking to injure your
hand by rubbing it against the ground.
Even the moving components of the
jack (screws and joints) can cause in-
juries; do not touch them. If you be-
come fouled with lubricating grease,
clean yourself thoroughly.❒Unscrew the fastening bolts and remove
the wheel.
❒Make sure the contact surfaces be-
tween the spare wheel and hub are
clean so that the fastening bolts will not
come loose.
