1. STOP THE CAR
– Stop the car in a position that is not
dangerous for oncoming traffic where
you can change the wheel safely. The
ground should be flat and adequately
firm. If you have to change the wheel
at night, choose a lit area if possible.
– Turn the engine off and pull up the
handbrake.
– Engage first or reverse gear.
– Alert other drivers that the car is
stationary in compliance with local
regulations: hazard warning lights,
warning triangle etc.
Any passenger should get out and
wait as far away as possible from the
dangers of traffic.
If the road is sloping or bumpy, place
wedges or other suitable material un-
der the wheels to prevent the car from
moving.
2. TAKE OUT THE TOOLS,
JACK AND SPARE WHEEL
They are in the boot.
The tool bag is secured to the inter-
nal boot wall by proper belts,
fig. 2;
to take it out, lift the adhesive strip of
the belts. The bag contains: the jack
A-

, the jack operating handle B, the
wheel bolt wrench

5) Warn anyone nearby that the car
is about to be lifted. They must stay
clear and not touch the car until it is
back on the ground.
6)Fit the operating handle on the
jack and turn it until the wheel to be
changed lifts a few centimetres off the
ground. When turning the jack handle
make sure that it can be used easily
and take care not to scrape your hand
against the ground› . The moving parts
of the jack (screw and joints) may al-
so cause injury if touched. Clean off
any grease.
7)Unscrew the 4 wheel bolts and
remove the wheel.
8) Ensure that the housing for the
wheel bolts on the spare wheel are
clean and free from dirt, which could
cause the wheel bolts to come loose.
Fit the spare wheel, in order that the
holes
A-fig. 6coincide with the rele-
vant pins
B.
9) Fasten one bolt A-fig. 7near the
inflation valve

Please note:
– the jack weighs 2.900 kg;
– the jack requires no adjustments;
– the jack cannot be repaired. If it
breaks it must be replaced with a new
jack;
– No tool with the exception of the
handle can be fitted on the jack.
3. CHANGE THE WHEEL
1)
Loosen the bolts on the wheel to
be changed by approximately one turn.
2) If the wheel to be changed has a
light-alloy rim, rock the car a few times
from the roof so as to loosen the rim
from the hub if necessary.
3) Turn the jack handle so that the
jack opens partially.
4)Arrange the jack at the Osymbol
B-fig. 5 near the wheel to be changed
and make sure that the groove
Aon
the jack fits well into the sidemember

the bolt fixing the wheel. When fitting
the wheel cup make sure that the sym-
bol

en them using the wrench provided,
fig. 9.
12)Wind down the jack to lower
the vehicle and remove the jack.
13)Fasten bolts completely, work-
ing in a criss-cross fashion as shown in
fig. 10. Tightening torque: 86 Nm.
14)Arrange the punctured tyre in
the spare wheel compartment and se-
cure it with the locking device
A-fig.

IMPORTANT As soon as possible:
have the punctured tyre repaired and
mount it on the car thus limiting the
distance travelled with the spare
wheel.
IMPORTANT Check the inflation
pressure of the tyres and the spare
wheel regularly.

IF A BULB BURNS OUT
Modifications or repairs
to the electrical system
carried out incorrectly
and without bearing the features
of the system in mind can cause
malfunctions with the risk of fire.
You should have the
bulbs replaced at a Fiat
Dealership. The correct
operation and direction of the
headlights is essential for safety
and is governed by the highway
code.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, refer to
“If a fuse blows” in this chapter.
Before replacing a bulb that does not
work, check that the contacts are not
oxidised.
Halogen bulbs contain
pressurised gas which, if
broken, may cause small
fragments of glass to be project-
ed outwards.
Burnt-out bulbs must be replaced
with ones of the same type. Bulbs with
low power offer low illumination,
bulbs with too much power absorb
too much energy.
Always check the height of the head-
light beam after changing a bulb.
TYPES OF BULBS
Several types of bulbs are installed in
the car
fig. 12:
A. Glass bulbs
Clipped into position. Pull to remove.
B. Bayonet connection bulbs
Remove from the bulb holder by
pressing the bulb and rotating it anti-
clockwise.
C. Cylindrical bulbs
Remove by pulling away from termi-
nals.
D-E. Halogen bulbs
To remove bulb, loosen the fixing
spring from the relevant seat.
