IN AN EMERGENCY
STARTING THE ENGINEEMERGENCY START-UP
If the Fiat CODE system fails to deactivate engine immo-
bilising system the instrument panel warning lights
Y
and
U
stay on and the engine cannot be started.
To start the engine the emergency start-up can be per-
formed.
Read the whole procedure carefully before trying to car-
ry it out: if you make a mistake, you need to turn the ig-
nition key back to STOP and repeat the whole operation
from the beginning.
Proceed as follows:
❒
read the five-digit electronic code from the CODE card;
❒
turn the ignition key to MAR;
❒
press and hold down the accelerator pedal: the warn-
ing light
U
turns on for about 8 seconds, and then goes
off;
❒
release the accelerator pedal and count the flashes of
the warning light
U
;
❒
count the number of flashes that corresponds to the
first digit of the code on the CODE card, then press the
accelerator pedal and hold it there until the warning
light
U
comes on (for 4 seconds) and then goes off. Re-
lease the accelerator pedal;
CORRECT USE
OF THE CAR
❒
the warning light
U
will start flashing again: after it has
flashed the number of times corresponding to the
second digit on the CODE card, fully depress the ac-
celerator pedal and hold it there;
❒
do the same for the remaining digits on the CODE card;
❒
once the last digit has been entered, hold the acceler-
ator pedal pressed. The warning light
U
will light up for
four seconds and then go out. Release the accelerator
pedal;
JUMP STARTING fig. 120
If the battery is flat, the engine may be started using an aux-
iliary battery with the same capacity or a little higher than
the flat one.

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.

Refer to the tables on the following pages to identify the
protection fuse.
If a general fuse (MEGA-FUSE, MIDI-
FUSE, MAXI-FUSE) cuts in, do not at-
tempt any repair and contact a Fiat Dealership.
WARNING
Before replacing a fuse, make sure the ig-
nition key has been removed and that all
the other services are switched off and/or
disengaged.If the replaced fuse blows again, contact
a Fiat Dealership.
WARNING
Never replace a blown fuse with metal
wires or other recovered material.
WARNING
Never replace a fuse with another of high-
er power: FIRE HAZARD.
WARNING
REPLACING FUSESGENERAL FEATURES fig. 165
Fuses protect the electric system: they cut in (i.e. they
blow) in the event of a failure or improper action on the
system.
When a device does not work, check the efficiency of its
fuse: the filament A must be intact. If it is, replace the blown
fuse with another with the same amperage (same colour).
B undamaged fuse.
C fuse with damaged filament.
To facilitate fuse replacement, use the pliers D hooked
to the fuse-box on the dashboard left-hand side.

BATTERY RECHARGINGIMPORTANT Battery recharging procedure is given as in-
formation only. This operation shall be performed at a Fiat
Dealership .
Charging should be slow at a low ampere rating for ap-
proximately 24 hours. Charging for a longer time may dam-
age the battery.
Charge the battery as follows:❒
disconnect the battery negative terminal;
❒
connect the charger cables to the battery terminals, ob-
serving the poles;
❒
turn on the battery charger;
❒
after recharging, turn the battery charger off before dis-
connecting the battery itself;
❒
reconnect the battery negative terminal.
Battery fluid is poisonous and corrosive:
avoid contact with your skin and eyes. The
battery should be charged in a well ventilated
place, away from naked flames or possible sources
of sparks: danger of explosion and fire.
WARNING
Do not attempt to charge a frozen bat-
tery: it must firstly be thawed, otherwise
it may burst. If the battery was frozen, have it in-
spected by skilled personnel before recharging to
check that the internal elements are not damaged
and that the casing is not cracked, which causes
the risk of leakage of poisonous, corrosive acid.

IMPORTANT The oil consumption depends on driving
style and the car utilisation conditions.
IMPORTANT After adding or changing the oil, let the en-
gine run for a few seconds and wait a few minutes after
switching it off before checking the level. ENGINE OIL fig. 175 – 176 and 177
Check the oil level a few minutes (about five) after the en-
gine has stopped, with the car parked on level ground.
Check the level is within the MIN. and MAX. marks on the
dipstick B.
The range between the MIN. and MAX. marks corre-
sponds to about 1 litre of oil. If the oil level is close to or
actually below the MIN. mark, pour in the prescribed oil
through the filler A until it reaches the MAX mark. The oil
level must never exceed the MAX mark.
ENGINE OIL CONSUMPTIONThe maximum engine oil consumption is usually 400 grams
every 1000 km.
When the car is new, the engine needs to be run in, there-
fore the engine oil consumption can only be considered
stabilised after the first 5,000 ÷ 6,000 km.

ENGINE COOLANT fig. 178 and 179
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 low, pour slowly a mixture of 50% deminer-
alised water and 50% PARAFLU
UP
of FL Selenia through
the filler neck A until approaching the MAX. level.
A 50-50 mixture of PARAFLU
UP
and demineralised wa-
ter gives freeze protection to −35 °C.
For particularly harsh climate conditions, a mixture of 60%
PARAFLU
UP
and 40% demineralised water is recom-
mended.
When the engine is hot, take care when
working inside the engine compartment to
avoid burns. Remember that when the engine is
hot, the fan may cut in: danger of injury. Scarves,
ties and other loose clothing might be pulled by
moving parts.
WARNING
Never add any oil with different specifica-
tions than those of the existing engine oil. Used engine oil and the replaced oil filter
contain substances that may be dangerous
for the environment. It is advisable to have
oil and filters changed by a Fiat Dealership where
they will be disposed respecting the environment
and according to law prescription.

WINDSCREEN/REAR WINDOW
WIPER/WASHERBLADES
Periodically clean the rubber part using special products;
TUTELA PROFESSIONAL SC 35 is recommended.
Replace the blades if the rubber edge is deformed or worn.
In all cases, it is advisable to replace them approximately once
a year.
A few simple precautions can reduce the possibility of dam-
age to the blades:❒
make sure that the rubber part is not stuck to the wind-
screen at sub-zero temperatures. Use an antifreeze
product to release it if required;
❒
remove any snow from the glass: in addition to pro-
tecting the blades, this prevents effort on the motor
and overheating;
❒
do not operate the windscreen and the rear screen
wipers on dry glass.
RUBBER HOSESAs far as the brake system and fuel rubber hoses are concerned,
follow the “Scheduled Servicing Programme” in this chapter care-
fully.
Ozone, high temperatures and prolonged lack of fluid in the sys-
tem may cause hardening and cracking of the hoses, with pos-
sible leaks. Careful control is therefore necessary.
Driving with worn wiper blades is a serious
hazard, because visibility is reduced in bad
weather.
