IMPORTANT INFORMATION AND RECOMMENDATIONS

PERSONAL SAFETY
(CONTINUED)
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 tyre.
33) FIX&GO QUICK TYRE REPAIR KIT
• The information required by the applicable regulation is
indicated on the Fix&Go kit package label. Compliance with the
indications on the label is an essential condition to ensure the
safety and the effectiveness of the Fix&Go kit.
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.
34) CHANGING A BULB
• 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.
• Halogen bulbs contain pressurised gas, in the case of
breakage they may burst causing glass fragments to be
projected outwards.
• Due to the high power supply voltage, gas discharge bulbs
(Xenon) should only be replaced by specialised personnel:
danger of death! Contact a Fiat Dealership.
35) REPLACING FUSES
•If the replaced fuse blows again, contact a Fiat Dealership.
• Never replace a fuse with metal wires or anything else.
• Never replace a fuse with another with a higher amp rating; RISK
OF FIRE.
• If a general fuse (MEGA-FUSE, MIDI-FUSE,
MAXI-FUSE) blows contact a Fiat Dealership.
• Before replacing a fuse, make sure that the ignition key has
been removed and that all the other services are switched off
and/or disengaged.
• Contact Fiat Dealership if a safety system (airbags, brakes),
engine system
(engine, gearbox) or steering system general protection fuse
blows.
36) BATTERY RECHARGING
• Battery fluid is poisonous and corrosive:
avoid contact with your skin and eyes. The battery should be
charged in a well ventilated place, away from naked flames or
possible sources of sparks: danger of explosion and fire.
• Do not attempt to charge a frozen battery: it must be thawed
first, otherwise it may explode.
If freezing has occurred, the battery should be checked by skilled
personnel to make sure that the internal elements are not
damaged and that the body is not cracked, with the risk of leaking
poisonous and corrosive acid.
37) TOWING THE CAR
• Before tightening the ring clean the threaded housing thoroughly.
Make sure that the ring is fully fastened in the housing before
towing the car.
• Before towing, turn the ignition key to MAR and then to STOP
without removing it. The steering column will automatically lock
when the key is removed and the wheels cannot be steered.
