SNOW TYRESUse snow tyres of the same size as the normal tyres pro-
vided with the car.
Fiat Dealership will be happy to provide advice concern-
ing the most suitable type of tyres for the customer’s re-
quirements.
For the type of tyre to be used, inflation pressures and the
specifications of snow tyres, follow the instructions given
in paragraph “Wheels” in section “Technical specifica-
tions”.
The winter features of these tyres are reduced consider-
ably when the tread depth is below 4 mm. Replace them
in this case.
Due to snow tyre features, under normal conditions of
use or on long motorway journeys, the performance of
these tyres is much lower than that of standard tyres. Lim-
it performance according to the use for which they were
certified.
IMPORTANT When snow tyres are used with a max.
speed index below the one that can be reached by the
car (increased by 5%), place a notice in the passenger’s
compartment, plainly in the driver’s view which states the
max. permissible speed of the snow tyres (as per EC
Directive).
The max. speed of snow tyres with “Q”
marking is 160 km/h. The Highway Code
speed limits must however be always complied
with.
WARNING
All four tyres should be the same (brand and track) to
ensure greater safety when driving and braking and bet-
ter driveability.
Remember that it is inappropriate to change the rotation
direction of tyres.

CAR INACTIVITYIf the car is to be left inactive for longer than a month,
the following precautions should be followed:❒
park the car in covered, dry and if possible well-venti-
lated premises;
❒
engage one gear;
❒
check that the handbrake is not engaged;
❒
disconnect the negative battery terminal and check bat-
tery charge. Repeat this check once every three months
during storage. Recharge if the optical indicator shows
a dark colour without the central green area;
❒
clean and protect the painted parts using protective
wax;
❒
clean and protect the shiny metal parts using special
compounds readily available;
❒
sprinkle talcum powder on the rubber windscreen and
rear window wiper blades and lift them off the glass;
❒
slightly open the windows;
❒
cover the car with a cloth or perforated plastic sheet.
Do not use sheets of non-perforated plastic as they do
not allow moisture on the car body to evaporate;
❒
inflate tyres to 0.5 bar above the standard specified pres-
sure and check it at intervals;
❒
if you don’t disconnect the battery from the electric sys-
tem, check its charge every month and recharge it if the
optical indicator shows a dark colour without the central
green area;
❒
do not drain the engine cooling system.
SNOW CHAINSThe use of snow chains should be in compliance with lo-
cal regulations.
The snow chains may be applied only onto the front wheel
tyres (drive wheels).
Check the tension of the snow chains after the first few
metres have been driven.
IMPORTANT Snow chains cannot be fitted to the space-
saver spare wheel. So, if a front (drive) wheel is punctured
and chains are needed, a rear wheel should be fitted to the
front of the car and the space-saving spare wheel should
be fitted to the rear. This way with two normal drive
wheels, snow chains can be fitted to them to solve an
emergency.
Keep your speed down when snow chains
are fitted. Do not exceed 50 km/h. Avoid
potholes, steps and pavements and also
avoid driving long distances on roads not covered
with snow in order to prevent damaging the car and
the roadbed.

Never use a fast battery-charger to start the
engine as this could damage the electron-
ic systems of your car, particularly the ig-
nition and fuel supply control units.This procedure must be performed by qual-
ified personnel as incorrect actions may
cause high-intensity electrical discharge. Further-
more, 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.
WARNING
If after a few attempts the engine does not start, do not
insist rather contact the nearest Fiat Dealership.
IMPORTANT Do not directly connect the negative ter-
minals of the two batteries: any sparks may ignite the det-
onating gas which could come out of the battery. If the aux-
iliary battery is installed on another car, prevent any contact
between metal parts of the cars and the flat battery.
BUMP STARTING
Never bump start the engine by pushing, towing or driving
downhill.
This could cause a flow of fuel into the catalytic convert-
er and damage it beyond repair.
IMPORTANT Remember that the servo-brake and elec-
trical power steering system (for versions/markets where
provided) are not operating until the engine is started, a
greater effort will therefore be required to press the brake
pedal or turn the steering wheel. Proceed as follows to start the car:
❒
connect the positive terminals (+ sign close to the ter-
minal) of both batteries using a lead;
❒
with a second lead, connect the negative terminal − of
the auxiliary battery to an earthing point
E
on the en-
gine or the gearbox of the car to be started;
❒
start the engine;
❒
when the engine has been started, follow the sequence
above in reverse order to remove the leads.

REPLACING A WHEELGENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
The car can be delivered (upon request/where provided)
with standard spare wheel or space-saver wheel; see
changing instructions on the following paragraphs. Wheel
changing and correct use of the jack and spare wheel call
for some precautions as listed below.
The space-saver wheel (where provided) is
specific to your car, do not use it on other
models, nor use the spare wheel of other models
on your car. The space-saver wheel must only be
used in case of 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 apply
a wheel cup on a space-saver wheel. The sticker
gives the following information in four languages:
Caution! For temporary use only! 80 km/h max.!
Replace by standard wheel as soon as possible. Do
not cover this label in use. If you change the type
of wheel (alloy rims instead of steel rims) you will
have to change the entire set of fastening bolts with
another set of suitably sized bolts.
WARNING
Alert other drivers that the car is station-
ary in compliance with local regulations:
hazard warning lights, warning triangle, etc. Any
passengers on board should leave the car, espe-
cially if it is heavily laden. Passengers should stay
away from on-coming traffic while the wheel is
being changed. If parked on a slope or rough sur-
face, chock the wheels with wedges or other suit-
able devices.
WARNING
The driving features of the car may change
when a space-saver wheel is fitted. Avoid
sudden acceleration and braking, sudden steering
and fast cornering. The total life of a space-saver
wheel is approximately 3000 km, after which it
must be replaced by another wheel of the same
type. Never attempt to fit a conventional tyre on
a rim designed for use as a space-saver wheel.
Have the punctured wheel repaired and replaced
as soon as possible. Two or more space-saver
wheels should never be used together. Do not
grease the threads of bolts before installing them:
they might slip out.

Please note that:❒
the jack weights 1.76 kg;
❒
the jack requires no adjustment;
❒
the jack cannot be repaired. If it breaks it must be re-
placed with a new jack;
❒
no tool other than its cranking device may be fitted on
the jack.
To change a wheel proceed as follows:
❒
stop the car in a position so that it is not a danger for
on-coming traffic and where you can replace the wheel
safely. The ground must be flat and compact;
❒
turn the engine off and pull up the handbrake.
❒
engage the first gear or reverse;
❒
lift the boot mat A-fig. 121;
Fasten the wheel cup correctly to prevent
the wheel from coming free in motion.
Never tamper with the inflation valve. Never in-
troduce tools of any kind between rim and tyre.
Regularly check tyre and space-saver wheel pres-
sure, complying with the data in the chapter
“Technical specifications”.
WARNING
The jack shall only be used for changing
wheels on the car with which it is provid-
ed or on cars of the same model. Never use the
jack for other purposes, such as lifting other car
models. In no case should it be used for repairs un-
der the car. Incorrect positioning of the jack may
cause the jacked car to fall. Do not use the jack
for loads higher than those shown on the label.
Snow chains cannot be fitted to the space-saver
wheel. So, if a front (drive) wheel is punctured and
chains are needed, a rear wheel should be fitted
to the front of the car and the space-saver wheel
should be fitted to the rear. This way with two
standard drive wheels, snow chains can be fitted
to them to solve an emergency.
