filament (A) fig. 217 should be intact.
If it is not, replace the blown fuse with

another with the same ampere rating

(same colour).
(B) intact fuse.
(C) fuse with damaged filament.
To change a fuse, use the tongs (D)

located in the tool box or the Fix&Go

container (for versions/markets where

provided).
Refer to the tables on the following

pages to identify the protective fuse.

WARNING The Natural Power system

components are protected by specific

fuses. Contact a Fiat Dealership for

EMERGENCY

STARTING

Go to a Fiat Dealership immediately if
warning light

comes on steady on

the instrument panel.

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.
Proceed as follows to start the engine

fig. 225:

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;

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 persist but contact the

nearest Fiat Dealership.

141)

32)

225

F0T0189

WARNING Do not directly connect

the negative terminals of the two

batteries: sparks could ignite explosive

gas released from 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.

BUMP STARTING

Never bump start the engine by

pushing, towing or driving downhill.

This could cause fuel to flow into the

catalytic converter and damage it

beyond repair.

WARNING Remember that the brake

booster and the power steering

system are not active until the engine

is started, so you will need to apply

much more force to the brake pedal or

steering wheel.

141)

This starting procedure must be

performed by expert personnel because

incorrect actions could cause electrical

discharge of considerable intensity.

Furthermore, battery fluid is poisonous

and corrosive: avoid contact with skin and

eyes. Keep naked flames and lighted

cigarettes away from the battery and do

not cause sparks.

32)

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.

169

FUEL CUT-OFF

SYSTEM

142)

This intervenes in the case of an impact

causing:

the interruption of the fuel supply with

the engine consequently cutting out;

the automatic unlocking of the doors;

turning on the lights inside the car;

closing of the methane system safety

solenoid valves (for versions/markets,

where provided).

When the system has been triggered,

the message “Fuel cut-off see

handbook” is displayed on some

versions.

WARNING Check carefully for fuel

leaks, for instance in the engine

compartment, under the vehicle or near

the tank area. After a crash, turn the

ignition key to STOP to avoid draining

the battery.

The following procedure should be

carried out to restore the correct

operation of the vehicle:

turn the ignition key to MAR;

activate the right direction indicator;

deactivate the right direction

indicator;

activate the left direction indicator;

deactivate the left direction indicator;

activate the right direction indicator;

deactivate the right direction

indicator;

activate the left direction indicator;

deactivate the left direction indicator;

turn the ignition key to STOP.

142)

If, after an impact, you smell fuel or

notice leaks from the fuel system, do not

reactivate the system to avoid the risk of

fire.

TOWING THE

VEHICLE

The tow ring provided with the vehicle

is located in the tool box behind the left

seat backrest (Fiorino Cargo versions)

or in the luggage compartment (Qubo

and Fiorino Combi versions).

ATTACHING THE TOW

HOOK

Proceed as follows:

release the cap (A) fig. 226 (Fiorino

versions), fig. 227 (Qubo versions),

fig. 228;

take the tow hook (B) fig. 226

fig. 228 from the tool bag;

fully tighten the ring on the threaded

front or rear pin.

226

F0T0085

227

F0T0420

IN CASE OF EMERGENCY

170

228

F0T0086

143)

Before towing, turn the ignition key

to MAR-ON and then to STOP without

removing it. The steering column will

automatically lock when the key is

removed and the wheels cannot be

steered.

144)

Before tightening the hook clean

the threaded housing thoroughly. Before

towing the vehicle, make sure that the

tow ring is fully tightened in its appropriate

housing.

145)

Do not start the engine whilst the

vehicle is being towed.

146)

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, it is necessary to obey

specific road regulations which relate both

to the towing device as well as to the

behaviour to adopt on the road. Do not

start the engine whilst the vehicle is being

towed.

33)

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 cables

or other non-rigid devices. In compliance

with the above conditions, towing must

take place with the two vehicles (one

towing, the other towed) aligned as much

as possible along the same centre line.
