WARNING
133)Modifications or repairs to the electric
system that are not carried out properly
or do not take the system technical
specifications into account can cause
malfunctions leading to the risk of fire.
134)Halogen bulbs contain pressurised
gas, in the case of breakage they may
burst causing glass fragments to be
projected outwards.
135)Only replace the light bulbs when the
engine is off and in a position that does
not interfere with traffic and lets you safely
replace them (see the description in the
“Replacement” paragraph). Also ensure
that the engine is cold, to prevent the risk
of burns.
136)Before replacing the bulb, wait for the
catalytic converter to cool down: RISK
OF BURNS.
WARNING
50)Halogen bulbs must be handled
holding the metallic part only. Touching the
transparent part of the bulb with your
fingers may reduce the intensity of the
emitted light and even reduce the lifespan
of the bulb. In the event of accidental
contact, wipe the bulb with a cloth
moistened with alcohol and let the bulb
dry.

REFITTING THE
STANDARD WHEEL
54)
Following the procedure described
previously, raise the car and remove the
space-saver wheel.
Versions with steel wheels
Proceed as follows:
make sure the contact surfaces
between standard wheel and hub are
clean so that the fastening bolts will not
come loose;
fit the standard wheel by inserting
the first bolt by 2 threads into the hole
closest to the inflation valve;
fit the hub cap, aligning the crescent
hole with the bolt already fitted, then
fit the other bolts;
using the wrench provided, tighten
the fastening 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.
Versions with alloy rims
Proceed as follows:
insert the wheel on the hub and use
the spanner provided to 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.
NOTE If it is not fitted correctly, the hub
cap may detach when the vehicle is
running.
At the end of the 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 luggage
compartment mat.
WARNING
143)The space-saver wheel (for
versions/markets where provided) is
specific to your car, do not use it on other
models, or use the space-saver wheel
of other models on your car. The
space-saver wheel must only be used in
the event of an emergency. Never use it for
more than strictly necessary and never
exceed 80 km/h. On the space-saver
wheel there is an orange label,
summarising the main warnings regarding
space-saver wheel usage restrictions.
Never remove or cover the label. The label
contains the following indications in four
languages: "Warning! For temporary use
only! 80 km/h max.! Replace with standard
wheel as soon as possible. Never cover
this indication." Never apply a wheel cap
on a space-saver wheel.
144)It is extremely dangerous to attempt
to change a wheel on the side of the
vehicle next to the driving lane: make sure
that the vehicle is at a sufficient distance
from the road, to avoid being run over.
145)Alert other drivers that the car is
stationary in compliance with local
regulations: hazard warning lights, warning
triangle, etc. Any passengers on board
should leave the car, especially if it is
heavily laden. Passengers should stay
away from on-coming traffic while the
wheel is being changed. On hills or uneven
roads, use chocks or appropriate objects
to block the wheels of the vehicle.

REPAIR PROCEDURE
Proceed as follows:
stop the car in a position that is not
dangerous for oncoming traffic where
you can carry out the procedure safely.
The ground must be flat and sufficiently
compact;
stop the engine, engage the hazard
warning lights and the parking brake;
wear the reflective safety jacket
before getting out of the car (anyway
comply with the laws in force in the
country you are driving in);
insert the cartridge A containing the
sealant in the proper compartment of
the compressor B, pressing it down
hard fig. 118. Remove the adhesive
speed label C and apply it in a visible
position (fig. 122);
wear the gloves;
remove the cap from the tyre valve
and connect and screw the transparent
tube of the sealing fluid D fig. 118
onto the valve. If a 250 ml cartridge is
present the housing of the transparent
tube is provided with removable ring
to facilitate extraction. Make sure that
the ON-OFF button E fig. 120 is in
the off position (button not pressed);
plug the electric connector F fig. 119
into the 12V socket of the vehicle and
start the vehicle engine;
operate the compressor by pressing
the ON-OFF button E fig. 120. When
the pressure shown in the "Wheels"
paragraph in the “Technical data”
chapter or on the specific label appears
on the pressure gauge G, stop the
compressor by pressing the ON-OFF
button E again;
disconnect the cartridge A from the
compressor, by pressing the release
button H and lifting the cartridge A
upwards fig. 121.If the pressure gauge G fig. 120
indicates a pressure lower than 1.8 bar
/ 26 psi 15 minutes after starting the
compressor, switch off the compressor,
disconnect the sealing fluid tube D
from the tyre valve and remove the
cartridge A from the compressor fig.

JUMP STARTING
If the battery is flat, a jump starting can
be performed using the battery and
the cables of another vehicle, or using a
booster battery.
If the warning light
remains on
continuously on the instrument panel,
contact the Fiat Dealership immediately.
IMPORTANT NOTES
When a booster battery is used, comply
with the utilisation and precaution
instructions specified by the producer.
Do not use the booster battery or
any other source of external supply with
a voltage above 12 V: the battery, the
starter, the alternator and the electrical
system of the vehicle could be
damaged.
Do not attempt jump starting if the
battery is frozen. The battery could
break and explode!PREPARATION TO JUMP
STARTING
151) 152)
56) 57)
IMPORTANT The positive terminal (+) of
the battery is shielded by a protective
cover. Lift the cover to access the
positive terminal.
Proceed as follows:
engage the handbrake, move the
Dualogic gear lever to P (Park) or,
for versions with manual gearbox, to
neutral and bring the ignition key to
STOP;
switch off all the other electrical
devices in the car;
if another vehicle is ready for jump
starting, park the vehicle within the
reach of the cables to be used for
starting, operate the handbrake and
make sure that the ignition is
deactivated.
IMPORTANT Avoid contact between
the two vehicles since this could cause
a connection to earth and may result
in serious injury to any people nearby.PROCEDURE FOR JUMP
STARTING
IMPORTANT If the procedure below is
carried out incorrectly, it can cause
severe injury to people or damage the
recharging system of one or both
vehicles. Carefully follow the
instructions given below.
Cable connection
Proceed as follows to carry out a jump
starting:
connect one end of the cable used
for positive (+) to the positive terminal
(+) of the car with flat battery;
connect the other end of the cable
used for positive (+) to the positive
terminal (+) of the auxiliary battery;
connect one end of the cable used
for negative (–) to the negative terminal
(–) of the auxiliary battery;
connect the other end of the cable
used for negative (–) to an engine earth
(the visible metal part of the car engine
with flat battery) far from the battery
and the fuel injection system;
start the vehicle engine with the
auxiliary battery, let it run for a few
minutes at idling. Start the engine of the
car with flat battery.
