IMPORTANT The headlight inner

surface might be slightly misted: this

does not indicate a fault, it is a natural

phenomenon due to low temperature

and the air humidity level. Misting

will disappear rapidly when the

headlights are turned on. The presence

of drops inside the headlights indicates

infiltration of water. Contact a Fiat

TYPES OF BULBS

E

Halogen bulbs: to remove the bulb,

release the clip holding the bulb in

place.

Various types of bulbs are fitted to your

vehicle fig. 153:

WARNING

120) 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.

121) Halogen bulbs contain pressurised

gas; in the case of breakage they may

burst.

WARNING

24) Halogen bulbs must be handled by

holding the metallic part only. If the

transparent bulb is touched with the

fingers, its lighting intensity is reduced and

life of the bulb may be compromised. In

the case of accidental contact, rub the

lamp with a cloth and alcohol and leave to

dry.

CHANGING A WHEEL

The vehicle is originally equipped with

the Fix&Go automatic quick tyre repair

kit (see instructions in the next section).

As an alternative, the vehicle may

have a normal-sized spare wheel.

no tool other than its cranking

device may be fitted on the jack.

To change a wheel, proceed as follows:

stop the vehicle in a position that is

not dangerous for oncoming traffic

where you can change the wheel safely.

The ground should be flat if possible,

and sufficiently firm;

Wheel changing and correct use of the

jack and spare wheel call for some

precautions, as listed below.

Note for one-way tyres

One-way tyres have a few arrows on

the side indicating the rotation direction.

If a wheel is changed (when punctured,

for example) the direction of the arrows

on the spare wheel tyre may not

coincide with the rotation direction of

the wheel to be replaced.

down using the devices required by

the law in the current country (e.g.

for Cargo versions fig. 182: move

the left front seat forward and operate

Anyway, it is recommended to have the

wheel repaired and refitted as soon as

possible, as the best performance is

achieved when the rotation direction of

all tyres coincides with the one

indicated by the arrows.

visible position. Wear the protective

gloves provided. Remove the cap from

the valve of the punctured tyre and

connect and firmly tighten the

compressor moving on-off button E to

the 0 position. If after 5 minutes from

Securely stop the vehicle and repeat

the operation above until reaching the

required pressure. If after other 5 min.

from the compressor ignition, the

pressure gauge F still indicates a

pressure lower than 1.8 bar / 26 psi,

the TYRE IS TOO DAMAGED AND

CANNOT BE REPAIRED. Remove and

place the kit in the specific

F0V0096

compartment and contact a Fiat

Dealership;

F0V0095

200

ensure that the on-off button E fig.

201 is in the 0 (OFF) position. If

provided, open the cover of the

compressor D fig. 198 and insert the

electrical connector in the vehicle’s 12V

socket fig. 202 and switch on the

vehicle’s engine;

163

if the required pressure is reached,

restart driving. Do not exceed 80 km/h.

Avoid sudden acceleration or braking.

After driving for about 8 km / 5 miles,

place the vehicle in a safe and suitable

area, engaging the parking brake.

Take the kit, make sure that the on-off

switch E is in the 0 position and insert

the electrical connector in the vehicle’s

12V socket. Remove the cap from

the valve of repaired tyre, disconnect

to inflate bicycle tyres and balloons.

To remove the cartridge B, disconnect

the black inflation tube coupling A,

turn the cartridge B anticlockwise and

then lift it. Insert the new cartridge, turn

it clockwise to the end of its travel,

insert the black inflation tube coupling

A, blocking it with the lever and then

rewind the transparent tube into its

compartment on the compressor fig.

28) The label on the Fix&Go kit’s packaging

gives the information required by the laws

in force. To ensure that the Fix&Go kit is

safe and effective, it is essential to comply

with all the instructions given on the label.

Carefully read the label before use, avoid

improper use. Fix&Go is subject to

expiration and must be replaced

periodically. The kit should be used by

adults and cannot be used by children.

JUMP STARTING

If the battery is flat, it is possible to start

the engine using an auxiliary battery

with the same capacity or a little higher

than the flat one.

IMPORTANT Do not directly connect

the negative terminals of the two

batteries: any sparks may ignite the

explosive gas which could come out of

the battery. If the auxiliary battery is

installed on another vehicle, avoid any

metal parts on the latter and the vehicle

with the flat battery from accidentally

coming into contact.

Proceed as follows to start the vehicle

fig. 205:

connect the positive terminals (+

mark near the terminal) of the two

batteries using a suitable lead;

with a second lead, connect the

negative terminal (–) of the auxiliary

battery to an earthing point on the

engine or the gearbox of the vehicle to

be started;

130) Fix&Go provides a temporary repair,

therefore the tyre must be examined and

repaired by a specialist as soon as

possible. The sealing fluid is effective at

temperatures between -40°C and +50°C. It

is possible to repair tyres which have

been damaged on tread up to a diameter

of 4mm; however, tyres damaged on

their side cannot be repaired. Before using

Fix&Go kit, ensure that the tyre isn't

excessively damaged and that the rim is in

good condition, otherwise do not use it

and contact a Fiat Dealership. Do not

remove foreign bodies from the tyre. Do

not let the compressor turned on for more

than 20 consecutive minutes - overheating

If after a few attempts the engine does

not start, do not persist but contact

the nearest Fiat Dealership.

IMPORTANT Remember that the brake

booster and the electric power steering

system are not active until the engine

135) When towing, remember that greater

effort is required on the brake pedal in

order to brake, since the brake servo is not

providing assistance. Do not use flexible

cables when towing and avoid jerky

movements. During towing operations,

make sure that the fastened joint does not

damage adjoining components. When

towing the vehicle, comply with the specific

rules of the highway code regarding the

towing device and road conduct. Do

not start the engine whilst the vehicle is

being towed.

WARNING

30) The front and rear tow hooks should

be used only for emergencies on the road.

You are allowed to tow the vehicle for

short distances using an appropriate

device in accordance with the highway

code (a rigid bar), to move the vehicle on

the road in readiness for towing or

transport via a breakdown vehicle. Tow

hooks MUST NOT be used to tow vehicles

off the road or where there are obstacles

and/or for towing operations using ropes

or other non-rigid devices. Respecting the

above conditions, towing must take place

with two vehicles (one towing, the other

towed) aligned as much as possible along

the same centre line.
