DRIVING YOUR CAR
151
STORING THE CAR
The following precautions should be
taken if the car will not be used for
several months:
– park the vehicle in covered, dry and
if possible well-ventilated premises;
– engage a gear (Pfor versions with
automatic electronic gear);
– make sure the handbrake is not en-
gaged;
– clean and protect the painted parts
using protective wax;
– sprinkle talcum powder on the rub-
ber windscreen and rear window
wiper blades and lift them off the glass;
– slightly open the windows;
– inflate the tyres to 0.5 bar above
the normal specified pressure and
check it at intervals;– switch off the electronic car alarm;
– disconnect the terminals (–) from
the battery poles (negative pole first)
and check the battery charge. When
the vehicle is in storage, this check
should be carried out once a month.
If no-load voltage is less than 12.5V,
recharge the battery;
– do not drain the engine cooling sys-
tem;
– cover the vehicle 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.RESTARTING THE CAR
AFTER STORAGE
Before restarting the vehicle after a
long storage, make the following op-
erations:
– do not take dust off the bodywork
without water;
– check if there are fluid leakages (oil,
brake and clutch fluid, engine coolant,
etc.);
– have the engine oil and the filter re-
placed;
– check the level of: brake and clutch
fluid, engine coolant;

IN AN EMERGENCY
154
Do not carry out this
procedure if you lack ex-
perience; if it is not done
correctly it can cause very in-
tense electrical discharges. In ad-
dition, the fluid contained in the
battery is poisonous and corro-
sive. Avoid contact with skin and
eyes. You are also advised not to
put naked flames or lighted cig-
arettes near the battery and not
to cause sparks.
Remember that until
the engine has started the
brake booster and elec-
trical power steering systems will
not work and a greater effort will
therefore be required to press
the brake pedal or turn the steer-
ing wheel.IF A TYRE
IS PUNCTURED
Certain versions (where provided)
are fitted with wheel identification and
tyre inflation sensors; pressure loss is
signalled to the driver in the follow-
ing way:
pressure loss- the infotelematic
CONNECT system displays the relat-
ed message and a “gong” is emitted by
the system. Contact a Fiat Dealer-
ship;
punctured tyre- warning light
“STOP” comes on and the in-
fotelematic CONNECT system dis-
plays the related message together
with 3 consecutive “gong” sounds.
Change the wheel in the following
way.
The system can also display a dedi-
cated message in the event it should
not be able to detect the tyre pres-
sure. Under no circumstances
should a battery charger
be used to start the en-
gine: it could damage the elec-
tronic systems and in particular
the ignition and injection control
units.
BUMP STARTING
Do not bump start by
pushing, towing or coast-
ing downhill. This way of
starting could cause a rush of fu-
el into the catalytic converter and
damage it beyond repair.

CHANGING A WHEEL
Please note:
– the jack weighs 3.4 kg;
– the jack requires no adjustments;
– the jack cannot be repaired. If it
breaks it must be replaced with a new
jack;
– no tool with the exception of the
handle can be fitted on the jack.
Proceed as follows:
1) Stop the car in a position that is
not dangerous for oncoming traffic
where you can change the wheel safe-
ly. The ground should be flat and ad-
equately firm. 2) Turn the engine off and pull up the
handbrake.
3) Engage first gear or reverse or, for
versions with automatic electronic
gear, select P.
4) Lift the boot mat (see the relative
instructions in the “Bonnet” paragraph
of “Getting to know your car” chap-
ter).
5) Remove lever A-fig. 3.6) Remove protective cover Band
use ring Cto release the elastic band
D, then extract jack E.
7) Close the bonnet and place the
tools next to the wheel to be changed.
8) Open the tailgate and use ringA-

Before fastening the tow
hitch clean the threaded
housing accurately. Be-
fore starting to tow, make sure
the tow hitch is well fastened on
the threaded pin.While the vehicle is be-
ing towed with the engine
off, remember that the
brake pedal and steering will re-
quire more effort as you no
longer have the benefit of the
power brakes and power steer-
ing. Do not use flexible cables to
tow. Avoid jerking. Whilst tow-
ing, ensure that the coupling to
the vehicle does not damage the
surrounding components.IMPORTANTFor versions with
automatic gearbox, make sure the
gear is in neutral position (N) and pro-
ceed as described for vehicles with
mechanical gearbox. If the gear cannot
be put in neutral position (N) do not
tow the vehicle and contact a Fiat
Dealership.
Before starting to tow,
turn the ignition key to M
and then to S. Do not re-
move the key. If the key is re-
moved, the steering lock engages
automatically which prevents the
wheels being turned.
When towing the vehi-
cle, you must comply
with the specific traffic
regulations regarding the tow
hitch and how to tow on the
road.
Do not start the engine
when being towed.
