WARNINGThe space-saver spare wheel (where provided) is specific to your car, do not use it
on other models, or use the spare wheel of other models on your vehicle. The
space-saver spare wheel shall only be used in an emergency. It shall only be used
for the distance necessary to reach a service point and the car speed shall not
exceed 80 km/h. The spare wheel has an orange sticker that summarises the main
cautions for use and limitations. The sticker should never be removed or covered.
Never fit a wheel cap on a space-saver spare wheel. The sticker gives the following
information in four languages: caution! For temporary use only! 80 km/h max!
Replace by normal wheel as soon as possible. Do not cover this label in use.
If changing standard wheels (e.g.: wheels with alloy rims in place of steel rims)
change also all wheel bolts.
WARNINGWhen driving with a space-saver spare wheel fitted, the driving performance of the
car changes. Avoid accelerating or braking sharply, abrupt turns or fast cornerings.
The life of the spare wheel is approx. 3000 km, after this distance it should be
replaced with another of the same type. Never attempt to fit a conventional tyre
on a rim designed for use as a space-saver spare wheel. Have the punctured wheel
repaired and refitted as soon as possible. Two or more space-saver spare wheels
should never be used together. Do not grease the threads of bolts before installing
them: they might slip out.

IF A FUSE BLOWS
GENERAL
The fuse is a protective device for the electric system: it comes into
action (i.e. it cuts off) mainly due to a fault or improper action on the
system.
When a device does not work, check the efficiency of its fuse. The
conductor element (A) must be intact; if not, replace the fuse with one of
the same amp rating (same colour).
(B): undamaged fuse.
(C): fuse with damaged filament.
To replace fuse, use the pliers (D) hooked inside the fuse box cover on
the left side of the dashboard.
F0E0625m
Never replace a fuse with metal wires or anything else.
WARNINGIf a general fuse (MEGA-FUSE, MIDI-FUSE, MAXI-FUSE) cuts in, do not attempt
any repair and contact a Fiat Dealership. Before replacing a fuse, make sure the
ignition key has been removed and that all the other services are switched off
and/or disengaged.
WARNINGNever replace a fuse with another with a higher amp rating; DANGER OF FIRE. If
a fuse blows again, contact Fiat Dealership.

SCHEDULED SERVICING
Correct maintenance is essential for ensuring long car
life under the best conditions.
This is why Fiat has programmed a series of checks
and maintenance operations every 20,000 km.
It is however important to remember that scheduled
servicing does not completely cover all the car’s
requirements: also in the initial period before the first
service coupon and later, between one coupon and
another, ordinary care is still required such as for
example routine check and topping up the level of
fluids, tyre pressure check, etc.IMPORTANT The Programmed Maintenance coupons
are specified by the Manufacturer. Failure to have
them carried out may invalidate the warranty.
Scheduled Servicing is performed by all Fiat Dealership,
at pre-established times.
If during each operation, in addition to the ones
programmed, the need arises for further replacements
or repairs, these may be carried out only with the
explicit agreement of the Customer.
IMPORTANT You are advised to contact Fiat
Dealership in the event of any minor operating faults,
without waiting for the next service coupon.
If your car is used frequently for towing, the interval between one service coupon and the other
must be reduced.
