WHEEL REPLACEMENT

PROCEDURE

Proceed as follows:

stop the car in a position that is not

dangerous for oncoming traffic where

you can change the wheel safely. The

car must be stopped in a lay-by, car-

park or parking or service area, and the

ground must be as level as possible

and sufficiently compact;

switch off the engine, apply the

parking brake and engage the 1st gear

or reverse gear. Make sure that any

passengers get out of the car and go

to a safe place where they will not

obstruct traffic or be exposed to the

risk of injury;

Put on the reflective safety jacket

before getting out of the car (if required

by the regulations in force). In any case,

follow the road safety laws in force in

the country where you are driving;

open the boot and lift the mat;

using the wrench (A) fig. 192 located

in the tool box, loosen the locking

device, take the tool box (B) and place

it close to the wheel to be replaced.

Then take the space-saver wheel (C);

192

F0Y0096C

For versions in which the hub cap

is not fastened to the steel rim with

stud bolts: grasp the wheel cap by

the internal aesthetic cut-outs (see the

example fig. 193) and pull it towards

you to remove it.

193

F0Y0712

For versions with alloy rims: to

remove the press-fit hub cap, insert the

screwdriver provided into the notch in

fig. 194 and lever the hub cap off the

rim.

IN AN EMERGENCY

158

194

F0Y0710

take the wrench (A) fig. 195 and

loosen the fixing stud bolts by about

one turn. For versions with alloy rims,

shake the car to help detach the rim

from the wheel hub;

195

F0Y0093C

take the chock from the tool bag and

open it out (see fig. 196);

place the wedge behind the wheel

diagonally opposite the one to be

replaced to prevent the car from

moving when it is raised;

position the jack under the car, near

the wheel to be changed;

196

F0Y0211C

fit the wrench (A) fig. 197 on the jack

to extend it until the upper part (B)

fits correctly on the side member (C)

(near the sign

indicated on the side

member);

197

F0Y0014C

alert any bystander that the car is

about to be raised; all persons should

be kept away from the car and nobody

must touch it until it has been lowered;

fit handle (D) fig. 197 into the housing

in device (A), operate the jack and

raise the car until the wheel is a few

centimetres from the ground;

remove the hubcap after unscrewing

the four fixing wheel bolts and finally

undo the fifth wheel bolt and extract

the wheel (only for versions with

hubcaps fixed by wheel bolts);

make sure the contact surfaces

between space-saver wheel and hub

are clean and free from impurities so

that the fixing wheel bolts will not come

loose;

fit the space-saver wheel by inserting

the first wheel bolt two threads into the

hole closest to the valve, then tighten

the wheel bolt by a couple of threads,

and do the same to the others;

take the wrench (A) fig. 192 and fully

tighten the fixing studs;

operate the jack handle (D) to lower

the car. Then extract the jack;

use the wrench (A) to fully tighten the

stud bolts in a criss-cross fashion as

per the numerical sequence illustrated

in fig. 198;

when replacing a wheel with alloy rim

it is advisable to place it upside down

(side with finish facing upwards).

159

198

F0Y0013C

Restore the standard wheel as soon as

possible, also because, once placed in

the associated compartment, the boot

load platform is rendered uneven as the

standard wheel is larger than the spare

wheel.

REFITTING THE

STANDARD WHEEL

Versions with steel wheels

make sure the contact surfaces

between standard wheel and hub

are clean and free from impurities so

that the fixing stud bolts will not come

loose;

fit the standard wheel inserting the

5 stud bolts into the holes. If the car

has hub caps fastened with stud bolts,

place the wheel cap against the rim

before inserting the stud bolts;

using the spanner provided, tighten

the fixing stud bolts;

lower the car and remove the jack;

using the spanner provided, fully

tighten the stud bolts in the sequence

shown previously.

press-fit the hub cap, aligning the

special splines (on the cap) with

the inflation valve and pressing the

anchoring tabs shown in fig. 199 to

secure it;

199

F0Y0711

Versions with alloy rims

insert the wheel on the hub and

using the spanner provided tighten the

stud bolts;

lower the car and remove the jack;

using the spanner provided, fully

tighten the 5 stud bolts in the sequence

shown;

reinstall the hub cap, taking care to

position the three plastic pins in the

dedicated seats on the wheel. Slightly

press the cap to prevent any damage

to the plastic pins.

WARNING If it is not fitted correctly, the

hub cap may detach when the car is

running.

At the end of the operation

Proceed as follows:

stow the space-saver wheel in the

compartment provided in the boot;

place the jack and the other tools in

their container;

arrange the container and tools on

the space-saver wheel;

correctly reposition the boot mat.

127)

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.

128)

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

exceed 80 km/h. "Warning! For temporary

use only! 80km/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

IN AN EMERGENCY

160

the space-saver wheel fitted. Avoid violent

acceleration and braking, abrupt steering

and fast cornering.

129)

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. If you are on

a slope or uneven surface, place the

wedge provided under the wheel (see the

instructions on the next pages).

130)

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 overall duration of the

space-saver wheel is of 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 wheels at the same

time is forbidden. Do not apply grease to

the bolt threads before fitting: they could

come unscrewed.

131)

The jack is a tool developed and

designed only for changing a wheel, if a

tyre gets punctured or damaged, on the

vehicle with which it is supplied or on other

vehicles of the same model. Any other

use, e.g. to jack up other vehicle models

or different things, is strictly prohibited.

Never use for maintenance or repair

activities under the car or to exchange the

summer/winter wheels and vice versa.

Never go under the raised vehicle. If any

work under the vehicle is necessary,

contact the Fiat Service Network. Incorrect

positioning of the jack may cause the

raised vehicle to fall: use 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 vehicle

only as needed in order to access the

spare wheel.

132)

The space-saver spare 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.

133)

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.

134)

If the hub cap is not fitted correctly, it

may come off when the car is travelling.

Never tamper with the inflation valve.

Never introduce tools of any kind between

rim and tyre. Check tyre and space-saver

wheel pressures regularly, complying

with the values given in the "Technical

specifications" chapter.

52)

Contact a Fiat Dealership as soon as

possible to have the correct tightening of

the wheel stud bolts checked.

135)

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 is not 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. Do not let the

compressor turned on for more than 20

consecutive minutes - overheating hazard.

136)

The information required by the

applicable regulation is indicated on the

Fix&Go kit package label. Carefully read

the label on the cartridge before use, avoid

improper use. The kit should be used by

adults and cannot be used by children.

53)

The sealant fluid is effective with

external temperatures from -40

°

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 must handle the tyre

treated with the TireKit.

2)

Dispose of the bottle and the sealant

liquid properly. Have them disposed of

in compliance with national and local

regulations.

JUMP STARTING

If the battery is flat, a jump starting

can be performed using the battery

and the cables of another car, or using

an auxiliary battery. In all cases, the

battery used must have a capacity

equal to or a little higher than the flat

one.

WARNINGS

When a booster battery is used,

comply with the use and precaution

instructions specified by the producer.

Do not use the booster battery or any

other source of external supply with a

voltage above 12 V: the battery, the

starter, the alternator and the electrical

system of the car could be damaged.

Do not attempt jump starting if the

battery is frozen. The battery could

break and explode!

switch off all the other electrical

devices in the car;

if another car is used for jump

starting, park the car within the reach

of the cables to be used for starting,

operate the parking brake and make

sure that the ignition is off.

WARNING Avoid contact between the

two vehicles since this could cause a

connection to earth and may result in

serious injury to any people nearby.

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

car, prevent accidental contact

between metallic parts of the two cars.

JUMP STARTING

WARNING If the procedure below is

carried out incorrectly, it can cause

severe injury to people or damage the

recharging system of one or both cars.

Carefully follow the instructions given

below.

Cable connection

Proceed as follows to carry out a jump

starting:

connect one end of the cable used

for positive (+) to the positive terminal

(+) of the car with flat battery;

connect the other end of the cable

used for positive (+) to the positive

terminal (+) of the auxiliary battery;

connect one end of the cable used

for negative (

–

) to the negative terminal

(

–

) of the auxiliary battery;

connect the other end of the cable

used for negative (

–

) to an engine earth

(the visible metal part of the car engine

with flat battery) far from the battery

and the fuel injection system. Never

connect the negative (-) cable of the

auxiliary battery to the negative terminal

(A) fig. 206;

start the car engine with the auxiliary

battery, let it run for a few minutes at

Cable disconnection

Once the engine has been started,

remove the cables proceeding as

follows:

disconnect the end of the cable used

for negative (

–

) from the engine earth of

the car with flat battery;

disconnect the other end of the cable

used for negative (

–

) from the negative

terminal (

–

) of the auxiliary battery;

disconnect the end of the cable

used for positive (+) from the positive

terminal (+) of the auxiliary battery;

disconnect one end of the cable

used for positive (+) from the positive

terminal (+) of the car with flat battery.
If it is often necessary to perform a

jump starting, have the car battery and

the recharging system checked by a

Fiat Dealership.

BUMP STARTING

Never, under any circumstances, jump

start the engine by pushing, towing or

coasting downhill.

WARNING Remember that the brake

servo and electric power steering are

not active until the engine is started.

A much greater effort will therefore be

required to use the brake pedal or turn

the steering wheel.

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 battery to

drain with following reduction of its life

and/or failure to start the engine.

137)

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.

138)

Remove any metal objects (e.g. rings,

watches, bracelets), that might cause an

accidental electrical contact and cause

serious injury.

139)

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.

140)

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.

54)

Do not connect the cable to the

negative terminal (

–

) of the flat battery.

The following spark could lead to battery

explosion and cause serious harm. Only

use the specific earth point; do not use

any other exposed metallic part.

55)

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.

FUEL CUT-OFF

SYSTEM

141)

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;

the switching on of the hazard

warning lights.

The intervention of the system is

indicated by a message shown on the

display.

WARNING Carefully check the vehicle

for fuel leaks, for instance in the engine

compartment, under the vehicle or near

the tank area. After an impact, turn the

165

ignition key to STOP to prevent the

battery from running down.

Reset procedure

To restore correct operation of the

system, carry out the following Reset

procedure (the procedure must be

completed in less than 1 minute):

turn the ignition key to the MAR

position;

activate the right direction indicator

and then stop it;

activate the left direction indicator

and then stop it;

activate the right direction indicator

and then stop it;

activate the left direction indicator

and then stop it;

turn the ignition key to the STOP

position and then to MAR.

141)

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 CAR

ATTACHING THE TOW

RING

142) 143) 144) 145)

The tow rings, which are supplied

with the car, are housed in the tool

box, under the carpet in the luggage

compartment.

WARNING The shorter tow ring is for

use on the front of the car and the

longer one on the rear.

Front

Manually remove cap (A) fig. 207,

pressing in the lower part. Take tow

ring (B) from its housing in the tool

support and screw it completely onto

the threaded pin.

207

F0Y0630C

Rear

Manually remove cap (A) fig. 208,

pressing in the lower part. Take tow

ring (B) from its housing in the tool

support and screw it in fully on the

threaded pin.

208

F0Y0631C

Versions with Dualogic

transmission

Make sure that the transmission is

in neutral (N) (checking that the car

moves when pushed) and proceed in

the same way as for towing a normal

car with a manual transmission. If the

gearbox cannot be put in neutral, do

not tow the vehicle and contact a Fiat

Dealership.

142)

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.

IN AN EMERGENCY

166

143)

Before tightening the ring clean

the threaded housing thoroughly. Make

sure that the ring is fully screwed into the

housing before towing the car.

144)

Whilst towing, remember that the

assistance of the brake servo and the

electric power steering is not available,

therefore greater force needs to be exerted

on the brake pedal and more effort is

required on the steering wheel. Do not

use flexible cables 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 vehicle, you must comply with all

specific traffic regulations and adopt an

appropriate driving behaviour. Do not start

the engine while towing the car.

145)

The front and rear tow hooks should

be used only for emergencies on the

road. The car may be towed for short

distances when a dedicated device is

used in compliance with the Highway

Code (rigid bar), and in order to move the

vehicle on the road in preparation for

towing or transport with a tow truck (on

CROSS/PRO CROSS versions do NOT

use the rear tow hook for transport on a

tow truck: use the front tow hook). Tow

hooks MUST NOT be used to tow vehicles

off the road or where there are obstacles

(e.g. snow, mud, etc.) and/or for towing

operations using cables or other non-rigid

devices, or if there are obstructions

preventing the car from moving forward

normally with the transmission in neutral. 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, to prevent excessive

lateral forces on the towing devices.

167

MAINTENANCE AND CARE

Proper maintenance allows car

performance to be maintained over
