Proceed as follows:
❒Tighten the pin A-fig. 10in one of the
fastening bolt holes on the wheel hub;
❒Insert the wheel on the pin and, using
the wrench provided, tighten the four
bolts available. This is facilitated by the
extension provided B;
❒Loosen the pin Aand tighten the last
fastening bolt;
❒Lower the car and remove the jack;
❒Using the wrench provided, fully tight-
en the bolts in the sequence shown
previously for the space-saver spare
wheel (see fig. 9).When you have finished
❒Stow the space-saver spare wheel G-
fig. 11in the space provided in the
boot;
❒Insert the partially open jack into the
container Fand force it slightly into its
seat so that it does not vibrate when
the car is moving;
❒ Put the tools back into their places in
the container;
❒Stow the container complete with tools

ANNUAL INSPECTION
SCHEDULE
For cars with an annual mileage of below
30.000 km (for example about 15.000 km)
the following yearly inspection programme
is advised:
❒check tyre conditions/wear and adjust
pressure if required (including the
space-saver spare wheel);
❒check light system operation (head-
lights, direction indicators, hazard lights,
boot lights, passenger compartment
lights, glovebox light, warning lights,
etc.);
❒check windscreen wiper/washer oper-
ation, adjust nozzles;
❒check windscreen/rear window blade
position/wear;
❒ check front disk brake pad conditions
and wear;
❒sight inspect the conditions of: engine,
gearbox, transmission, pipes and hoses
(exhaust - fuel - brakes), rubber parts
(boots, sleeves, bushes, etc.) fuel and
brake system hoses;
❒check cleanness of bonnet and boot
locks, and lever cleanness and lubrica-
tion
❒check battery charge (by optical depth
gauge);
❒visual check on various drive belt con-
ditions;
❒check and top up fluid levels (engine
coolant, brakes, windscreen washer,
battery, etc.);
❒change engine oil and oil filter, if re-
quired (Multijet versions);
❒replace pollen filter.
ADDITIONAL CHECKS
Every 1,000 km or before long journeys,
check and top up if required:
❒engine coolant fluid level;
❒ brake fluid level;
❒ windscreen washer fluid level;
❒tyre pressure and conditions.
Every 3,000 km check and top up if re-
quired: engine oil level.
You are recommended to use FL Sele-
niaproducts, designed and produced
specifically for Fiat cars (see table “Ca-
pacities” in section “Technical specifica-
tions”).

WHEELS AND TYRES
Check the pressure of each tyre, includ-
ing the spare, every two weeks and before
long journeys. The pressure should be
checked with the tyre rested and cold.
For the correct tyre inflation pressure, see
“Wheels” in “Technical specifications”
section.
Incorrect pressure causes abnormal tyre
wearfig. 21:
A: normal pressure: tread evenly worn.
B: low pressure: tread particularly worn
at the edges.
C: high pressure: tread particularly worn
in the centre.
Tyres must be replaced when the tread
wears down to 1.6 mm. In any case, com-
ply with the laws in the country where the
car is being driven.IMPORTANT NOTES
❒As far as possible, avoid sharp braking
and screech starts, etc. Be careful not
to hit the kerb, potholes or other ob-
stacles hard. Driving for long stretch-
es over bumpy roads can damage the
tyres;
❒Periodically check that the tyres have
no cuts in the side wall, abnormal
swelling or irregular tyre wear. If any of
these occur, have the car seen to at a
Fiat Dealership;
❒avoid overloading the car when travel-
ling: this may cause serious damage to
the wheels and tyres;
fig. 21F0C0101m
❒if a tyre is punctured, stop immediate-
ly and charge it to avoid damage to the
tyre, the rim, suspensions and steering
system;
❒Tyres age even if they are not used
much. Cracks in the tread rubber are
a sign of ageing. In any case, if the tyres
have been on the car for over 6 years,
they should be checked by specialised
personnel, to see if they can still be
used. Also remember to check the
space-saver spare wheel;
❒ In the case of replacement, always fit
new tyres, avoiding those of dubious
origin;
❒ If a tyre is changed, also change the in-
flation valve;
❒To allow even wear between the front
and rear tyres, it is advisable to change
them over every 10-15 thousand kilo-
metres, keeping them on the same side
of the car so as to not reverse the di-
rection of rotation.
