GENERAL

INSTRUCTIONS

267) Before replacing the bulb, wait for the

exhaust ducts to cool down: DANGER OF

SCALDING!

Observe the following precautions:

before replacing a bulb check the

contacts for oxidation

replace blown bulbs with others of

the same type and power

268) 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.

269) Halogen bulbs contain pressurised

gas, in the case of breakage they may

burst causing glass fragments to be

projected outwards.

270) 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" chapter). Also make sure

that the engine is cold, to avoid burns.

271) In case of regulation of headlamps

beam height or bulb replacement, never

look directly to the lamps if they are

switched on. Risk of eye injuries!

after replacing a headlight bulb,

always check its alignment

if a bulb is not working, before

replacing it, check that the respective

fuse is intact. For the location of the

fuse, refer to the "Fuse Replacement”

chapter in this section.

WARNING When the weather is

cold or damp or after heavy rain or

washing, the surface of headlights or

rear lights may steam up and/or form

drops of condensation on the inside.

This is a natural phenomenon due

to the difference in temperature and

humidity between the inside and the

outside of the glass which does not

indicate an anomaly fault and does not

compromise the normal operation of

lighting devices. The mist disappears

WARNING

115) 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

Pay particular attention when using

the wrench to remove the wheel

fastening bolts: it may have sharp

edges

Raising the car more than necessary

may lower its stability. The jack may

slip and injure those nearby. Do not

raise the car more than required for the

removal of the wheel

Tyres with unidirectional tread can

be recognised by arrows on the side of

the tyre which indicate the direction of

rotation. It is mandatory to comply with

this direction. Only in this way, tyres

maintain their characteristics in terms

of grip, noise, resistance to wear and

drainage on wet surfaces

If, after a puncture, it is necessary

to fit such a tyre the wrong way

round, it will be necessary to continue

driving with great care, since the

tyre’s performance is limited in these

conditions. This precaution must be

borne in mind above all when the road

surface is wet

If the car has a hub cap or wheel

cover, do not attempt to fit it on the

spare wheel

To prevent injury to persons, the

complete tightening of the bolts must

only be carried out when all of the car’s

wheels are on the ground, to prevent

the car falling from the jack

After having travelled for about 40

km, stop and check that the fastening

bolts are tightened correctly

Have the tightening of the spare

wheel's bolts and its tyre pressure

checked by a Fiat Dealership. Have

the punctured tyre examined. After

inspection, the technician will advise

you on whether the tyre can be

repaired or if it must be replaced.

After refitting the repaired standard

wheel

Proceed as follows:

check the tyre pressure of the

installed tyre and the wheel nut torque

as soon as possible

stow the space-saver spare wheel in

the dedicated housing of the boot

place the jack and the other tools in

the dedicated area of the boot

correctly reposition the boot mat

WARNINGS

Never change more than one wheel

at once.

In order to benefit completely

from the unidirectional tread, it is

advisable to restore all wheels to the

correct direction of rotation as soon as

possible

Make sure that the spare wheel is

fitted with the valve facing outwards.

The wheel may be damaged if fitted

incorrectly

Use the jack only to change wheels

in case of puncture, not for seasonal

winter or summer tyre change.

The jack is maintenance-free.

If it should it be absolutely necessary

to operate on the road surface or near

it, pay the utmost attention to cars in

transit

Stowing a damaged full size wheel

in the load compartment

The spare wheel well is not designed

for other tyre sizes than the spare

wheel. A damaged full size wheel must

be stowed in the load compartment

and secured properly.

221

278) The space-saver wheel 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 (50 mph). "Warning! For temporary

use only! 80 km/h (50 mph) max!" Replace

with standard wheel as soon as possible.

Never remove or cover the sticker on the

space-saver wheel. Never apply a wheel

cap on a space-saver wheel. The vehicle's

driving characteristics will be modified with

the space-saver wheel fitted. Avoid violent

acceleration and braking, abrupt steering

and fast cornering.

279) The jack is a tool developed and

designed only for changing a wheel, if a

tire gets punctured or damaged, on the

car with which it is supplied or on other

cars of the same model. Any other use,

e.g. to jack up other vehicle models

or different things, is strictly prohibited.

Never use it to carry out maintenance or

repairs under the vehicle or to change

summer/winter wheels and vice versa; we

advise you to contact a Fiat Dealership.

Never go under the raised vehicle: use

it only in the positions indicated. Do not

use the jack to lift loads heavier than

that indicated on the label affixed to the

jack. Never start the engine with vehicle

raised. If the vehicle is raised more than

necessary, everything can become more

unstable, with the risk of the vehicle

dropping violently. Therefore, only lift the

car just enough to access the space-saver

spare wheel (where provided).

280) When turning the jack handle make

sure that it can turn freely without scraping

your hand against the ground. The moving

components of the jack ("worm screw"

and joints) can also cause injuries: do

not touch them. If you come into contact

with lubricating grease, clean yourself

thoroughly.

281) The space-saver wheel cannot be

fitted with snow chains. If a front (drive)

tyre is punctured and chains are needed,

use a standard wheel from the rear axle

and install the space-saver wheel on the

rear axle. In this way, with two normal drive

wheels at the front axle, it is possible to

use snow chains.

IMPORTANT

274) A punctured tire or jack thrown

forward in a collision or hard stop, could

endanger the occupants of the vehicle.

For this reason, both the jack and the

punctured tire should always be safety

placed in the appropriate compartment in

the trunk.

275) It is extremely dangerous to attempt

to change a wheel on the side of the car

next to the driving lane: make sure that

the car is at a sufficient distance from the

road, to avoid being run over.

276) Indicate the presence of the

stationary car in accordance with current

regulations: hazard warning lights, warning

triangle, etc. Those on board should get

out of the car, especially if it is heavily

laden, and wait for the wheel to be

replaced away from the threat posed by

the traffic. On gradients or on unsurfaced

roads, chock the wheels with the wedge

provided (where provided).

277) The vehicle's driving characteristics

will be modified with the spare tire fitted.

Avoid sudden starting or stopping, sharp

or fast turns. The total life of a space-saver

spare wheel is approximately 3,000 km,

after which it must be replaced by another

wheel of the same type. Never install a

standard tire on a rim that is designed for

use with a space-saver spare wheel. Have

the tire repaired and refitted as soon as

possible. Using two or more space-saver

wheels at the same time is forbidden. Do

not grease the threads of the fastening

bolts before fitting them: they might slip

out when driving!

282) Do not grease wheel bolts.

283) Ensure to use always the correct

wheel bolts if changing the wheels. When

installing the spare wheel for temporary

usage, the bolts for alloy wheels can also

be used.

WARNING

117) The use of a spare wheel that is

smaller than the other wheels or in

combination with winter tyres could

affect driveability. Have the defective tyre

replaced as soon as possible.

Route the leads so that they cannot

catch on rotating parts in the engine

compartment.

Check beforehand that the backup

battery has a nominal voltage of 12 V

and a capacity at least equal to that of

the discharged battery.

In case of use of an assisting vehicle:

start the engine on the assisting vehicle

and leave it running for a few minutes.

Operate the starter on the broken

down vehicle and let the engine run. If

the engine does not start immediately,

switch off the ignition and wait a few

moments before trying again.

To start the engine:

The two vehicles must not be in

contact with each other.

1. Start the engine of the vehicle

providing the jump.

Switch off all electricity-consuming

equipment on both vehicles (audio

system, wipers, lighting, etc.).

Make sure that the jump leads are well

away from the engine’s moving parts

(fan, belt, etc.). Do not disconnect the

(+) terminal while the engine is running.

Lift the plastic cover on the (+) terminal,

if the vehicle has one.

2. After 5 minutes, start the other

engine. Start attempts should be made

for no longer than 15 seconds at an

interval of 1 minute.

Wait for it to return to idle.

Disconnect the jump leads

Reverse above sequence exactly when

removing leads.

3. Allow both engines to idle for

approx. 3 minutes with the leads

connected.

Refit the plastic cover to the (+)

The hybrid system starts the vehicle,

but a 12 V supply is required.

There are several reasons why the

vehicle cannot be started. If the 12 V

battery is flat, the 12 V power supply

can be ensured using a backup battery

(either external or from another vehicle)

and jumpleads or using a battery

booster or using a battery charger.

Never use a 24 V or higher battery

booster.

Connect the red cable to the positive

with each other. Switch off all electricity-

consuming equipment on both vehicles

(audio system, wipers, lighting, etc.). Make

sure that the jump leads are well away

from the engine’s moving parts (fan, belt,

etc.). Do not disconnect the (+) terminal

while the engine is running.

123) Driving immediately without having

reached a sufficient level of charge may

affect some of the vehicle's functions (e.g.

Stop-Start).

290) Remove any metal objects (e.g. rings,

watches, bracelets), that might cause an

accidental electrical contact and cause

serious injury.

291) Protect your eyes and face before

handling the battery. All operations on

the battery must be carried out in a well

ventilated area and away from naked

flames and sources of sparks, to avoid any

risk of explosion or fire. Wash your hands

afterwards.

292) Never try to charge a frozen battery -

risk of explosion! If the battery has frozen,

have it checked by a Fiat Dealership, who

will verify that the internal components

have not been damaged and that the case

has not cracked, which could lead to a risk

of leakage of toxic and corrosive acid.

Disconnect the jump leads

Reverse above sequence exactly when

removing leads.

Refit the plastic cover to the (+)

terminal, if the vehicle has one.

Allow the engine to run for at least 30

minutes, with the vehicle stationary, so

that the battery reaches an adequate

state of charge.Driving immediately

without having reached a sufficient

level of charge may affect some of the

vehicle's functions (e.g. e-Auto mode).

WARNING

8) These batteries contain harmful

substances (sulphuric acid and lead).

They must be disposed of in accordance

with regulations and must never under

any circumstances be discarded with

household waste. Dispose of used

batteries at a designated collection point.

WARNING

IMPORTANT

119) Never jump start another vehicle with

an electric vehicle.

287) Be extremely careful when starting

with jump leads. Any deviation from the

following instructions can lead to injuries

or damage caused by battery explosion or

damage to the electrical systems of both

vehicles.

288) Avoid contact of the battery fluid with

eyes, skin, fabrics and painted surfaces.

The fluid contains sulphuric acid which can

cause injuries and damage in the event of

direct contact.

289) Do not get too close to the radiator

cooling fan: the electric fan may start;

danger of injury. Scarves, ties and other

loose clothing might be pulled by moving

parts.

120) Never connect the negative jump

lead to the metal part of the electronic

control units or at the back of the

headlamps. Risk of destroying the

electronic control units and/or headlamps!
