MANUAL GEARBOX
124)42)
To engage the gears, press the clutch
pedal fully and put the gear lever into
the required position (the diagram
for gear engagement is shown on the
knob fig. 79).
For 0.9 TwinAir, 0.9 TwinAir Turbo and
1.2 8v 69 HP versions: to engage
reverse R from neutral, raise ring A fig.
79 underneath the knob and, at the
same time, shift the lever to the right
and then backwards.
For version 1.3 16v MultiJet: to engage
reverse R from neutral position, shift
the lever to the right and then back.IMPORTANT Reverse can only be
engaged when the vehicle is completely
stationary. With the engine running,
wait for at least 2 seconds with the
clutch pedal fully pressed before
engaging reverse to prevent damage to
the gears and grating.
IMPORTANT The clutch pedal should
be used only for gear changes. Do
not drive with your foot resting on the
clutch pedal, however lightly. For
versions/markets where provided, the
electronic clutch pedal control could cut
in, interpreting the incorrect driving
style as a fault.
WARNING
124)Depress the clutch pedal fully to
change gear correctly. It is therefore
essential that there is nothing under the
pedals: make sure the mats are lying
flat and do not get in the way of the
pedals.
WARNING
42)Do not drive with your hand resting on
the gear lever as the force exerted, even
if slight, could lead over time to premature
wear of the internal gearbox components.

❒lower the vehicle and remove the
jack;
❒use the wrench provided to fully
tighten the bolts, passing alternately
from one bolt to the opposite one.
Versions with alloy wheels
Proceed as follows:
❒insert the wheel on the hub and using
the wrench provided tighten the bolts;
❒lower the vehicle and remove the
jack;
❒use the wrench provided to fully
tighten the bolts, passing alternately
from one bolt to the opposite one.
❒reinsert the press-fitted hub cap,
making sure that the reference hole on
the wheel is aligned with the reference
pin on the cap.
IMPORTANT If it is not fitted properly,
the hub cap may detach itself when the
vehicle is running.
At the end of operation
❒stow the space-saver wheel in the
compartment provided in the luggage
compartment;
❒insert the jack and the other tools in
the container;
❒arrange the container and tools on
the space-saver wheel;
❒correctly reposition the boot mat.
WARNING
142)The space-saver wheel (for
versions/markets, where provided) is
specific to your vehicle, do not use it on
other models, or use the space-saver
wheel of other models on your vehicle. The
space-saver wheel must only be used in
the event of an emergency. It must only be
used for the distance necessary to reach
a service point and the vehicle speed must
not exceed 80 km/h. The space-saver
wheel has an orange label that
summarises the main cautions for use and
limitations. Never remove or cover the
label. The following information is provided
in four languages on the label: "Important!
For temporary use only! 80 km/h max!
Replace with a standard wheel as soon as
possible. Never cover this indication".
Never apply any hub cap to the
space-saver wheel.
143)Use your hazard lights, warning
triangle, etc to show that your vehicle is
stationary. Passengers should get out
of the vehicle, particularly if it is heavily
loaded, and wait for the wheel to be
changed away from the traffic. On hills or
uneven roads, use chocks or appropriate
objects to block the wheels of the vehicle.144)The vehicle's driving characteristics
will be modified with the space-saver wheel
fitted. Avoid violent acceleration and
braking, abrupt steering and fast cornering.
The overall duration of the space-saver
wheel is about 3000 km, after which the
relevant tyre must be replaced with another
one of the same type. Never install a
traditional tyre on a rim designed to be
used as a space-saver wheel. Have the
wheel repaired and refitted as soon as
possible. Using two or more space-saver
wheels at the same time is forbidden.
Do not apply grease to the bolt threads
before fitting: they could come unscrewed.
145)The jack may be used to replace
wheels only on the vehicle that it comes
with, or other vehicles of the same model.
Never use the jack for other purposes,
such as lifting other vehicle models. Never
use it for repair operations under the
vehicle. Incorrect positioning of the jack
may cause the vehicle to fall. Do not use
the jack for loads higher than those shown
on the label. Never install snow chains
on the space-saver wheel; if a front tyre
(driving wheel) is punctured and you need
to use snow chains, use a standard wheel
from the rear axle and install the
space-saver wheel on the rear axle. In this
way, with two normal front drive wheels,
it is possible to use snow chains.
146)Incorrect hub cap assembly may
cause it to come off when the vehicle is
moving. Never tamper with the inflation
valve. Never introduce tools of any kind
between rim and tyre. Check tyre and
space-saver wheel pressures regularly,
complying with the values given in the
"Technical specifications" chapter.

❒make sure that the compressor
switch is in position 0 (off), start the
engine, plug into the power socket in
the central tunnel and operate the
compressor, turning switch A to
position I (on);
❒inflate the tyre to the pressure
specified in the "Inflation pressure"
paragraph in the "Technical
specifications" section. Check tyre
pressure on gauge B with compressor
off to obtain a more precise reading;
❒if after five minutes it is still impossible
to reach at least 1.8 bar, disengage
the compressor from the valve and
power socket, then move the vehicle
forwards by approx. ten metres in order
to distribute the sealing fluid inside the
tyre evenly, then repeat the inflation
operation;
❒if after this operation you still cannot
reach at least 1.8 bar after 5 minutes
from switching on the compressor,
do not resume driving but contact a
Fiat Dealership;
❒after driving for about 10 minutes
stop and check the tyre pressure again;
engage the handbrakeand park
safely;❒if a pressure value of at least 1.8 bar
is detected, restore the correct
pressure (with the engine running and
the handbrake engaged), resume
driving and drive with great care to the
nearest Fiat Dealership.
WARNING
147)Give the instruction brochure to the
personnel charged with handling the
tyre treated with the quick tyre repair kit.
148)Punctures on the sides of the tyre
cannot be repaired. Do not use the quick
tyre repair kit if the tyre is damaged as
a result of driving with it deflated.
149)If the wheel rim has been damaged
(bent so as to cause air to leak), the wheel
cannot be repaired. Do not remove foreign
bodies (screws or nails) from the tyre.
150)Do not use the compressor for more
than 20 consecutive minutes. Risk of
overheating. Tyres repaired with the quick
tyre repair kit must only be used
temporarily, as the kit is not suitable for a
definitive repair.

151)The information required by current
regulations, regarding the chemical
substances for the protection of human
health and the environment and on the safe
use of the sealing fluid, are on the
packaging label. Compliance with the
indications on the label is an essential
condition to ensure the safety and
the effectiveness of the product.
Remember to carefully read the label
before use; the user of the product
is responsible for any damages caused by
improper use. The sealing fluid has an
expiry date. Replace the bottle if the
sealant has expired.
152)Put on the protective gloves provided
together with the quick tyre repair kit.
153)Apply the adhesive label where it can
be easily seen by the driver as a reminder
that the tyre has been treated with the
quick repair kit. Drive carefully, particularly
on bends. Do not exceed 80 km/h. Avoid
sudden acceleration or braking.
154)If the pressure has fallen below 1.8
bar, do not drive any further: the quick tyre
repair kit cannot guarantee the correct
hold because the tyre is too damaged.
Contact a Fiat Dealership.
155)Always indicate that the tyre was
repaired using the quick tyre repair kit. Give
the leaflet to the personnel charged with
handling the tyre treated with the tyre
repair kit.
