❒

Start the engine;

When the engine has been started, remove the leads reversing the

order above.

If after a few attempts the engine does not start, do not insist but contact

the nearest Fiat Dealership.

IMPORTANT Do not directly connect the negative terminals of the two

batteries: any sparks may ignite the detonating gas which could come out

of the battery. If the auxiliary battery is installed on another car, avoid

metal parts touching accidentally between this car and the one with the

flat battery.

Never use a battery charger to start the engine as this could damage the electronic systems of your

vehicle, particularly the ignition and fuel supply control units.

This starting procedure must be carried out by qualified personnel because

WARNING

incorrect operations may cause electrical discharge of considerable intensity. The

liquid contained in the battery is poisonous an corrosive. Avoid contact with the

skin and eyes. Keep naked flames and lighted cigarettes away from the battery and

do not cause sparks.

BUMP STARTING

IF A TYRE IS PUNCTURED

Never bump start the engine (by pushing, towing or

coasting downhill). This could cause fuel to flow into

the catalytic converter and damage it beyond repair.

GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS

Wheel changing and correct use of the jack and space-

saver spare wheel call for some precautions as listed

below.

IMPORTANT Remember that the servobrake and

electrical power steering system are not operating

until the engine is started, a greater effort will

therefore be required to press the brake pedal or turn

the steering wheel.

IMPORTANT If the vehicle is fitted with “Fix & Go

(quick tyre repair kit)”, see the relevant instructions in

the following chapter.

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

oncoming traffic while the wheel is being changed. If parked on a slope or rough

surface, chock the wheels with wedges or other suitable devices to prevent the car

from rolling.

WARNING

The space-saver spare wheel is specific to your car, do not use it on other

models, or use the spare wheel of other models on your vehicle.

The space-saver spare wheel shall only be used in an emergency. It shall

only be used for the distance necessary to reach a service point and the

car speed shall not exceed 80 km/h. The spare wheel has an orange sticker

that summarises the main cautions for use and limitations. The sticker

should never be removed or covered. Never fit a wheel cap on a

space-saver spare wheel. The sticker gives the following information

in four languages: ^CAUTION! FOR TEMPORARY USE ONLY! 80 KM/H MAX! REPLACE

^{BY NORMAL WHEEL AS SOON AS POSSIBLE}. DO NOT COVER THIS LABEL

^{IN USE}.

202

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine

When driving with a space-saver spare wheel fitted, the driving performance of the

car changes. Avoid accelerating or braking sharply, abrupt turns or fast cornerings.

The life of the spare wheel is approx. 3000 Km, after this distance it should be

replaced with another of the same type. Never attempt to fit a conventional tyre

on a rim designed for use as a space-saver spare wheel. Have the punctured wheel

repaired and refitted as soon as possible. Two or more space-saver spare wheels

should never be used together. Do not grease the threads of bolts before installing

them: they might slip out.

WARNING

The jack shall only be used for changing wheels on the car with which it is provided

or on cars of the same model. It must not be used for other purposes such as for

instance raising cars of other models. In no case should it be used for repairs under

the car. Incorrect positioning of the jack may cause the jacked vehicle to fall. Do

not use the jack for higher capacities than stated on its label. Snow chains cannot

be fitted to the space-saver spare wheel. So, if a front (drive) wheel is punctured

and chains are needed, a rear wheel should be fitted to the front of the vehicle and

the spare wheel should be fitted to the rear. This way with two normal drive

wheels, snow chains can be fitted to them to solve an emergency.

WARNING

Fasten the wheel cap correctly to prevent the wheel from coming free in motion.

Never tamper with the inflation valve. Never place tools between the rim and tyre.

Check and restore, if required, the pressure of tyres and spare wheel to the values

given in the “Technical specifications” section.

WHEN NEEDING TO

CHANGE A BULB

Burnt bulbs must be replaced by others of the

same type and power;

GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS

Always check the height of the headlight beam after

changing a bulb.

❒

When a light is not working, check that the

corresponding fuse is intact before changing a bulb.

For the location of fuses, refer to the paragraph “If

a fuse blows” in this section;

Halogen bulbs must be handled touching only the metallic part. If the transparent bulb is touched

with the fingers, its lighting intensity is reduced and life of the bulb may be compromised. If touched

accidentally, rub the bulb with a cloth moistened with alcohol and leave it to dry.

Halogen bulbs contain pressurised gas, in the case of breakage they may burst.

WARNING

Alterations or repairs to the electric system not carried out correctly and without

taking into account of the system specifications may cause failures and the risk of

fire.

Where possible, it is advisable to have bulbs changed c/o Fiat Dealership. The

correct operation and aiming of the outer lights are vital to safety of the car and

its passengers and the subject of specific laws.

WARNING

214

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine

IMPORTANT The headlight inner surface might be slightly misted: this

should not be considered irregular but a natural phenomenon due to low

temperature and the air humidity level. Misting will disappear as soon as

the headlights are turned on. Drops inside the headlight mean water

infiltration: contact Fiat Dealership.

TYPES OF BULBS

Various types of bulbs are fitted to your car:

(A) All glass bulbs: these are pressed on. Pull to remove.

(B) Bayonet type bulbs: press the bulb, and turn counterclockwise to

IF A FUSE BLOWS

GENERAL

The fuse is a protective device for the electric system: it comes into

action (i.e. it cuts off) mainly due to a fault or improper action on the

system.

When a device does not work, check the efficiency of its fuse. The

conductor element (A) must be intact. If not, replace the fuse with one of

the same amp rating (same colour).

F0I0239m

(B): undamaged fuse

(C): fuse with damaged filament.

To facilitate fuse replacement, use the pliers (D) located in the fuse box.

Never replace a fuse with metal wires or anything else.

Never replace a fuse with another with a higher amp rating; DANGER OF FIRE.

WARNING

If a general fuse (MAXI-FUSE) cuts in, do not attempt any repair and contact a

Fiat Dealership. Before replacing a fuse, make sure the ignition key has been

removed and that all the other services are switched off and/or disengaged.

If fuse blows again, contact a Fiat Dealership.
