CHANGING A WHEEL
Please note:
– the jack weighs 1.85 kg;
– the jack requires no adjustments;
– the jack cannot be repaired. If it
breaks it must be replaced with a new
jack;
– no other tool, part from the han-
dle shown in this chapter can be fitted
to the jack.
Change the wheel as follows:
1)Stop the vehicle so that it is not
a hazard for other road users or your-
self when changing the wheel. The
ground should be as flat and firm as
possible.2)Stop the engine and engage the
handbrake.
3)Engage first gear or reverse.
4)Lift the boot carpet.
5)Unscrew the locking device A-
fig. 2. Lift out the tool kit and place
it near the wheel to be changed and
take out the space-saver spare wheel.6)Loosen the bolts on the wheel to
be replaced by approximately half a
turn. If alloy rims are fitted, shake the
car to facilitate removing the rim from
the wheel hub.
7)Turn the jack handle so the jack
opens partially.
8)Place the jack near the wheel to
be changed and make sure groove A-
fig. 4of the jack fits snugly into slot
Bof the long member.

Depending on whether the normal
wheels are fitted with steel or light al-
loy rims, the spare wheel (always
made of steel) differs in order to be
compatible with the wheel bolts which
are specific for each of the two types
of rim.
If the type of wheel to be used is to
be changed (alloy rims in place of steel
rims and vice-versa) the bolts must al-
so be changed and a specific spare
wheel adopted.
Keep the bolts and the spare wheel
as they are essential if the original
wheels are to be refitted at some time
in the future. 9) Warn anyone nearby that the ve-
hicle is about to be lifted. They must
stay clear and not touch the vehicle
until it is back on the ground.
10) Turn the jack handle and raise
the car until the wheel is a few cen-
timetres above the ground.
The jack handle must turn freely,
without touching the ground to avoid
scraping your hands. Do not touch the
moving parts of the jack as they can
cause injuries. If you dirty your hands
with grease, clean them carefully.
11) Fully unscrew the 4 bolts, re-
move the wheel and, where provided
recover the wheel hub cap.
12)Make sure the surfaces of the
space-saver spare wheel that come in-
to contact with the hub are clean and
free from any impurities which could
result in the wheel bolts working
loose.13)Fit the spare wheel making sur
that pegs Bfit into holes A-fig. 5.
14) Tighten the four fastening bolts.
15) Lower the car by turning the jack
handle and remove the jack.
16)Tighten up the wheel bolts com-
pletely in criss-cross fashion follow-
ing the order shown in fig. 6.
17) Put the punctured tyre into the
space-saver spare wheel housing..

3)Screw up the bolts with the span-
ner provided.
4) Lower the vehicle and remove the
jack.
5)Tighten up the bolts in the same
order as shown above.When you have finished
1)Put the space-saver spare wheel
back in the boot.
2) Put the jack back in its support
making sure pin A-fig. 8coincides
with jack groove Bthen place the unit
in the wheel that has been changed.
3) Put the tools you have used back
in their support.
4)Position the support making slot
A-fig. 9coincide with the base of the
jack.
5)Do up clamp B. REFITTING
THE STANDARD WHEEL
1) Following the above procedure,
raise the car and remove the space
saver wheel.
2)Assemble the normal use wheel.
If the wheel is fitted with a hub cap, it
is necessary to add only one bolt first,
then assemble the hub cap by aligning
the hole A-fig. 7with the already as-
sembled bolt, screw on the other
three bolts, using the extension Bfor
fitting the fixing bolts.

IF A BULB
BURNS OUT
You should, where pos-
sible, have your bulbs
changed at a Fiat Dealer-
ship. Correct operation of exter-
nal light beams are essential for
safe driving and compliance with
legal requirements.Only touch the metal
part when handling halo-
gen bulbs. If the transpar-
ent bulb is touched it reduces the
intensity of the light emitted and
can also reduce the life of the
bulb. If you touch the bulb acci-
dentally, rub it with a cloth moist-
ened with alcohol and leave it to
dry.
GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
– When a light is not working, check
that it has not fused before changing
the bulb.
– For the location of the fuses, re-
fer to “If a fuse blows” in this section.
– Before replacing a bulb that does
not work, check that the contacts are
not oxidised.
– Burnt out bulbs must be replaced
with ones of the same type.
– Always check the height of the
headlight beam after changing a bulb
for safety purposes.
Halogen bulbs contain
pressurised gas which, if
broken, may cause small fragments
of glass to be projected outwards.
WARNING
Modifications or repairs to
the electrical system car-
ried out incorrectly and without
bearing the features of the system
in mind can cause malfunctions
with the risk of fire.
