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  
quickly when the lights are turned on,  
starting from the centre of the diffuser,  
WARNING  
55) 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

fashion as shown in fig. 186;  
once the standard wheel has been  
fitted, insert the press-fit hubcap,  
taking care to align the groove (1)

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.  
engage the hub cap by applying an  
axial force in several points as shown  
in fig. 189 to allow the correct coupling  
between hub cap and wheel.  
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 car is  
running.  
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.  
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;  
188  
08046J0010EM  
arrange the container and tools on  
the space-saver wheel;  
IMPORTANT  
correctly reposition the boot mat.  
NOTE The hub cap cannot be fitted  
to the space-saver wheel (for TIPO  
5DOOR version).  
147) If left in the passenger compartment,  
the punctured wheel and jack constitute a  
serious risk to the safety of occupants in  
the event of accidents or sharp braking.  
Therefore, always place both the jack and  
punctured wheel in the dedicated housing  
in the boot.  
148) 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.  
NOTE If replacing a wheel with alloy  
rim, stove it temporarily into the spare  
wheel compartment with the cosmetic  
side facing upwards.

Versions with alloy rims  
Proceed as follows:  
WARNINGS  
Tyres with unidirectional tread can  
be recognised by arrows on the side  
of the tyre which indicate the direction  
of rotation. It is compulsory to comply  
with this direction. Only in this way can  
the tyres maintain their characteristics  
insert the wheel on the hub and use  
the spanner provided to tighten the  
bolts;  
149) 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.  
exceed 80 km/h. "Warning! For temporary  
use only! 80 km/h 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. The driving  
characteristics of the car will be modified  
with the space-saver spare wheel or spare  
wheel fitted. Avoid violent acceleration  
and braking, abrupt steering and fast  
cornering. The overall duration of the  
space-saver wheel is about 3000 km, after  
which the relevant tyre must be replaced  
with another one of the same type. Never  
install a traditional tyre on a rim designed  
to be used as a space-saver wheel. Have  
the wheel repaired and refitted as soon as  
possible. Using two or more space-saver  
spare wheels or spare wheels at the same  
time is forbidden. Do not apply grease to  
the bolt threads before fitting: they could  
come unscrewed.  
58) Contact a Fiat Dealership as soon as  
possible to have the correct tightening of  
the wheel bolts checked.  
150) The jack is a tool developed and  
designed only for changing a wheel, if a  
tyre gets punctured or damaged, on  
the car with which it is supplied or on  
other cars of the same model. It must  
not be used, for example, to jack other  
vehicle models or objects. Never use it  
to carry out servicing 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 for loads higher than the one shown  
on its label. 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. Thus, lift the car only  
as needed in order to access the spare  
wheel.  
151) Never tamper with the inflation valve.  
Never introduce tools of any kind between  
the rim and the tyre. Check tyre and  
space-saver wheel pressures regularly,  
complying with the values given in the  
"Technical specifications" chapter.  
152) Observe the following instructions if  
the car is equipped with a spare wheel  
smaller than the normal size (a 16” spare  
wheel is provided with 17" and 18" tyres)  
or a space-saver spare wheel. 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

too damaged. Contact a Fiat Dealership.  
163) Carefully read the cartridge label  
before use and avoid improper use. The kit  
should be used by adults and cannot be  
used by children.  
164) Do not let the compressor turned on  
for longer than 10 consecutive minutes -  
overheating hazard  
157) Repairs are not possible in the case  
of damage to the wheel rim (bad groove  
distortion causing air loss). Do not remove  
the foreign body (screws or nails) from the  
tyre.  
158) As required by current regulations,  
the information on chemical substances  
for the protection of human health and the  
environment and on the safe use of the  
sealing fluid are on the packaging label.  
Compliance with the indications on the  
label is an essential condition to ensure  
the safety and the effectiveness of the  
product. Remember to carefully read the  
label before use; the user of the product  
is responsible for any damages caused  
by improper use. The sealing fluid has an  
expiration date. Replace the bottle if the  
sealant has expired.  
159) The Fix&Go kit is not suitable for  
definitive repairs, so the repaired tyres may  
only be used temporarily. The Fix&Go kit  
provides a temporary repair, therefore the  
tyre must be examined and repaired by a  
specialist as soon as possible.  
165) Use the kit only in case of a  
punctured tyre.  
206  
F0S0788  
WARNING  
IMPORTANT  
59) The sealant fluid is effective with  
external temperatures from -30°C to  
+50°C. The sealant fluid has an expiry date  
and must be replaced periodically. It is  
possible to repair tyres with damage on  
the tread up to a maximum diameter of  
6 mm. Show the cartridge and the label  
to the personnel who will handle the tyre  
treated with the Fix&Go.  
153) IMPORTANT: Do not exceed  
80 km/h. Avoid sudden acceleration or  
braking. The kit provides a temporary  
repair, therefore the tyre must be  
examined and repaired by a specialist  
as soon as possible. Before using the  
kit, ensure that the tyre isn't excessively  
damaged and that the rim is in good  
condition, otherwise do not use it and  
call roadside assistance. Do not remove  
foreign bodies from the tyre.  
154) Punctures on the sides of the tyre  
may not be repaired. Do not use the  
Fix&Go if the tyre was damaged as a result  
of being used with the wheel underinflated.  
155) Wear the protective gloves provided  
with the Fix&Go.  
60) The surface of the tube may be hot.  
160) 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.  
161) Never operate the compressor for  
longer than 20 consecutive minutes: risk of  
overheating.  
162) If the pressure falls below 1.8 bar, do  
not drive any further: the Fix&Go cannot

FUEL CUT-OFF  
SYSTEM  
169) The batteries contain acid that can  
burn skin or eyes. Batteries produce  
hydrogen, which is easily flammable and  
explosive. Thus keep away flames or  
devices which may cause sparks.  
DESCRIPTION  
This intervenes in the case of a collision  
causing:  
WARNING Any accessories (e.g.  
mobile phones, etc.) connected to the  
car power sockets draw current even if  
they are not used.These devices, if left  
connected too much time with engine  
off, may cause the conventional battery  
to drain with following reduction of its  
life and/or failure to start the engine.  
the interruption of the fuel supply with  
the engine consequently switching off;  
the automatic unlocking of the doors;  
turning on the lights inside the car;  
deactivation of climate control  
system ventilation;  
switching on of the hazard warning  
lights (to deactivate the lights press the  
button on the dashboard).  
WARNING  
61) Never use a fast battery charger to  
start the engine as this could damage the  
electronic systems, particularly the engine  
ignition and fuel supply control units.  
62) Do not connect the cable to  
the negative terminal () of the flat

spark could lead to conventional battery  
explosion and cause serious harm. Only  
use the specific earth point; do not use  
any other exposed metallic part.  
IMPORTANT  
On some versions, the intervention of  
the system is indicated by a message  
shown on the display. In the same way,  
a dedicated message on the display  
warns the driver if system operation is  
compromised.  
166) Before opening the bonnet, make  
sure that the engine is off and that the  
ignition key is in the STOP position. Follow  
the indications on the plate underneath  
the bonnet. We recommend that you  
remove the key from the ignition if other  
people remain in the vehicle. The vehicle  
should always be left after the key has  
been removed or turned to the STOP  
position. During refuelling, make sure that  
the engine is off (and that the ignition key is  
in the STOP position).  
167) 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.  
WARNING Carefully check the car for  
fuel leaks, for instance in the engine  
compartment, under the car or near  
the tank area. After a collision, bring  
the ignition device to STOP to prevent

171) Before towing, turn the ignition key to  
MAR and then to STOP without extracting  
it. The steering column will automatically  
lock when the key is removed and the  
wheels cannot be steered. Also check that  
the transmission is in neutral.

electromechanical power steering will not  
work while the vehicle is being towed. You  
will therefore need to apply more force  
on the brake pedal and steering wheel.  
Do not use flexible ropes when towing,  
and avoid jerky movements. While towing,  
make sure that the trailer hitch does not  
damage any components it is touching.  
When towing the car, you must comply  
with all specific traffic regulations and  
adopt an appropriate driving behaviour.  
Do not start the engine while towing the  
car. Before tightening the ring, clean  
the threaded housing thoroughly. Make  
sure that the ring is fully screwed into the  
housing before towing the car.
