Jump Starting - Fiat 500X2017 User Manual

WHAT TO DO IN EMERGENCIES
Road Tire Installation
1. Mount the road tire on the axle.
2. Install the remaining wheel bolts with the threaded end of the wheel bolt toward the
wheel. Lightly tighten the wheel bolts.
To avoid the risk of forcing the vehicle off the jack, do not tighten the lug nuts fully
until the vehicle has been lowered. Failure to follow this warning may result in serious
injury.
3. Lower the vehicle to the ground by turning the jack handle counterclockwise.
4. Finish tightening the wheel bolts. Push down on the wrench while at the end of the
handle for increased leverage. Tighten the wheel bolts in a star pattern until each
wheel bolt has been tightened twice. The correct torque specification for the wheel
bolts is 89 Ft-Lbs (120 Nm). If in doubt about the correct tightness, have them
checked with a torque wrench by your authorized dealer or at a service station.
5. Lower the jack until it is free. Remove the wheel chocks. Stow the jack and tools back
in the proper storage location. Release the Electric Park Brake before driving the ve-
hicle.
6. After 25 miles (40 km) check the wheel bolt torque with a torque wrench to ensure
that all wheel bolts are properly seated against the wheel.

JUMP STARTING

If your vehicle has a discharged battery it can be jump-started using a set of jumper
cables and a battery in another vehicle or by using a portable battery booster pack. Jump
starting can be dangerous if done improperly so please follow the procedures in this sec-
tion carefully.
NOTE:
When using a portable battery booster pack follow the manufacturer' s operating instruc-
tions and precautions.
Do not attempt jump starting if the battery is frozen. It could rupture or explode and
cause personal injury.
