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-
tially opens fig. 8. Then, position it un-
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 lower
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.

QUICK TYRE REPAIR
KIT FIX & GO automatic
The automatic fast tyre repair kit Fix & Go
automatic is placed in a container in the
boot.
The tyre repair kit fig. 14includes:
❒a cylinder A containing sealant which is
fitted with:
– filling tube B;
– an adhesive label Cbearing the words
“max. 80 km/h”, to be attached in an
easy-to-see position for the driver (on
the dashboard) after tyre repair;
❒a compressor Dcomplete with a pres-
sure gauge and connections;
❒an instruction brochure (see fig. 15) to
be utilised for prompt and proper use
of the fast repair kit and to be handed
over to the personnel who will be in
charge of handling the repaired tyre;
❒a pair of safety gloves located in the side
space of the compressor;
❒adapters for inflating different elements.
The Fix & Go kit container also includes

fig. 14F0T0129mfig. 15F0T0130m
Give the instruction brochure
to the personnel who will be
in charge of repairing the tyre using
the kit.
WARNING
The kit cannot be used to re-
pair damage to the tyre side-
wall. Do not use the fast repair kit if
the tyre is damaged as the vehicle has
run a flat tyre.
WARNING
If the wheel rim is damaged
(the channel is so deformed
as to cause an air leakage) it cannot
be repaired. Do not remove the for-
eign body (screw or nail) from the tyre.
WARNINGIn the event of a puncture
caused by foreign bodies, it is
possible to repair tyres show-
ing damages on the track or
shoulder up to max 4 mm diameter.

IF THE VEHICLE NEEDS
TO BE TOWED
The tow ring supplied with the vehicle is
positioned in the tool box behind the left-
hand side backrest (on Cargo versions) or
in the boot (on Combi versions).
HOOKING THE TOW
HOOK fig. 54-55
Proceed as follows:
❒release the cap A;
❒take the tow hook Bfrom the tool box;
❒tighten the hook on the rear or front
threaded pin.
fig. 54F0T0085m
fig. 55F0T0086m
Before starting towing oper-
ations, turn the ignition key
to MAR and then to STOP, without
extracting it. If the key is extracted,
the steering wheel lock will be auto-
matically activated, thus preventing
steering.
WARNING
During towing operations the
brake booster is not engaged.
Therefore, a heavier effort must be
made on the pedal. Do not use wires for
towing. Do not jerk. During towing op-
erations make sure not to damage parts
in contact with the vehicle. When tow-
ing the vehicle comply with the specific
rules of the Highway Code regarding the
towing device and the behaviour to
maintain on the road. Do not start the
engine while towing the vehicle.
WARNING
Clean the threaded seat care-
fully before fastening the ring.
Make sure that the ring is fully fastened
in the seat before towing the vehicle.
WARNING
Do not start the engine
when towing the vehicle.
WARNING
The front and rear tow hooks
must only be used for emer-
gency situations on the road.
The vehicle may be towed for
short distances when a dedicated de-
vice is used in compliance with the
Highway Code (rigid bar), in order to
move the vehicle on the road in prepa-
ration for towing by a tow truck Tow
hooks MUST NOT be used to tow ve-
hicles off the road or where there are
obstacles and/or for towing operations
using cables or other non-rigid devices.
Respecting the above conditions, tow-
ing must only take place with two ve-
hicles (one towing, the other towed)
travelling as far as possible in alignment
along the same centreline.

WHEELS AND TYRES
Check the pressure of each tyre, includ-
ing the spare wheel, approximately once
every two weeks and before starting a
long journey: this check must be per-
formed with the tyre rested and cold.
It is normal for pressure to increase when
the vehicle is used. For the correct tyre
inflation pressure, see “Wheels” in “Tech-
nical specifications” section.
Incorrect pressure causes abnormal tyre
wearfig. 9:
Anormal pressure: evenly worn tread;
Blow pressure: tread particularly worn
on the edges;
Cexcessive pressure: tread particularly
worn in the middle.
The tyres must be replaced when the
tread is less than 1.6 mm thick. In all cas-
es, follow the laws in force in the coun-
try where you are driving.IMPORTANT NOTES
❒Avoid braking suddenly, burning starts
and violent knocks against the curb,
potholes or other obstacles if possible.
Long distances on rough roads may
damage the tyres;
❒check the tyres regularly for cuts on the
sides, swelling or irregular tread wear.
Go to a Fiat Dealership if required.
❒Do not overload your vehicle: this may
cause serious damage to wheels and
tyres;
❒if a tyre is punctured, stop the vehicle
immediately and charge it to avoid dam-
age to the tyre, the rim, suspensions
and 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 specialised personnel
if they have been fitted for longer than
6 years. Remember to check the spare
wheel very carefully.
❒In case of replacement, always fit new
tyres, avoiding those with an unknown
origin.
❒If a tyre is replaced, also change the in-
flation valve.
❒To allow even wear between the front
and rear tyres, it is advisable to change
them every 10-15 thousand kilometres,
keeping them on the same side of the
vehicle so as not to reverse the direc-
tion of rotation.

RUBBER HOSES
As far as the brake system and fuel rubber
hoses are concerned, carefully follow the
instructions provided in the “Scheduled
servicing plan” in this section.
Ozone, high temperatures and prolonged
lack of fluid in the system may cause hard-
ening and cracking of the hoses, with pos-
sible leaks. Careful inspections are there-
fore necessary.Remember that road holding
also depends on the correct
tyre inflation pressure.
WARNING
If the pressure is too low the
tyre overheats and this can
cause serious damage.
WARNING
Do not cross switch the
tyres, moving them from the
right of the vehicle to the left and
vice versa.
WARNING
Never submit alloy rims to
repainting treatments re-
quiring the use of temperatures ex-
ceeding 150°C. The mechanical prop-
erties of the wheels could be im-
paired.

BODYWORK
PROTECTION FROM
WEATHER CONDITIONS
The main causes of corrosion are the fol-
lowing:
❒atmospheric pollution;
❒salty air and humidity (coastal areas or
hot humid climates);
❒seasonal environment conditions.
Equal importance must be attributed to
the abrasive action of wind-borne atmos-
pheric dust as well as sand and mud and
gravel raised by other vehicles.
On your vehicle Fiat has adopted the best
manufacturing technologies to effectively
protect the bodywork against corrosion.These are the most important technolo-
gies:
❒painting products and systems which
give the vehicle particular resistance to
corrosion and abrasion;
❒use of galvanised (or pre-treated) steel
sheets with high resistance to corro-
sion;
❒spraying the underbody, engine com-
partment, wheelhouse internal parts
and other parts with highly protective
wax products;
❒spraying of plastic parts with a protec-
tive function in the more exposed
points: underdoor, inner fender parts,
edges, etc.;
❒use of “open” boxed sections to pre-
vent condensation and pockets of mois-
ture from triggering rust inside.VEHICLE BODY
AND UNDERBODY WARRANTY
Your vehicle is covered by warranty
against perforation due to rust of any orig-
inal element of the structure or body.
For the general terms of this warranty, re-
fer to the Fiat Warranty Booklet.
