❒loosen the fastening bolts completely and then remove
the wheel;
❒make sure the contact surfaces between spare wheel
and hub are clean so that the fastening bolts will not
come loose;
❒fit the standard wheel by inserting the first bolt two
threads B-fig 138 into the hole closest to the inflation
valve A;
❒fit the hubcap, making sure that the symbol Caligns
with the inflation valve, and then insert the other three
bolts.
❒tighten the bolts using the wrench provided;
❒turn the jack handle to lower the vehicle, and remove
the jack; ❒operate the jack with the handle and extend it so that
groove A-fig. 137 of the jack fits correctly onto lower
profile B on the sidemember;
❒warn anybody nearby that the vehicle is about to be
lifted. They must stay clear and not touch the vehicle
until it is back on the ground.
❒introduce the handle by pushing it into the hole in the
nut and into the plastic clip, operate the jack and lift
the vehicle until the wheel is a few centimetres off the
ground. When turning the crank, ensure that it rotates
freely in order to avoid grazing your hands against the
ground. The moving components of the jack (screws
and joints) can also cause injuries, so do not touch them.
Clean yourself thoroughly if you come into contact with
lubricating grease;

❒put the jack and the other implements back in the tool
box.
❒position the tool box behind the left seat (Cargo ver-
sions) or inside the compartment in the rear right side
panel by resting the base of the box on the side
(Doblò/Doblò Combi versions);
❒secure the tool box with the elastic strap and fasten
it with the buckle. ❒use the wrench provided to tighten the bolts in a criss-

After tyre replacement
❒fix bracket A-fig. 140 to the wheel after passing it
through the hole, insert the threaded pin into one of
the bolt holes and secure by tightening knob B;
❒check that the wheel is stored correctly in the under-
floor housing (the friction of the lifting system limits
how far the wheel can travel. Incorrect positioning may
compromise safety);

INDEXIn the event of a puncture caused by for-
eign bodies, it is possible to repair tyres
showing holes on the track or shoulder of
up to 4 mm in diameter.
It is not possible to repair damage to the
tyre sidewall. Do not use the quick repair
kit if the damage has been caused by travelling on
a flat tyre.
WARNING
If the wheel rim is damaged (the channel
is so deformed as to cause an air leakage)
it cannot be repaired. Do not remove foreign bod-
ies (screws or nails) from the tyre.
WARNING
IMPORTANT INFORMATION:
The sealing fluid of the quick tyre repair kit is effective at
external temperatures of between -20 °C and +50 °C.
Do not operate the compressor for longer
than 20 minutes at a time. Risk of over-
heating. The quick repair kit is not suitable for
permanent repairs. The tyres repaired must there-
fore be used only temporarily.
WARNING
Do not dispose of the cylinder and sealant
in the open environment. Dispose of them
according to the national and local laws in
force.

Before towing, turn the ignition key to
MAR and then to STOP without extract-
ing it. The steering column will automatically lock
when the key is removed, making it impossible to
turn the wheels.
WARNING
Before tightening the ring, clean the
threaded housing thoroughly. Before tow-
ing the vehicle, make sure that the tow ring is ful-
ly tightened in its appropriate housing.
Never start the engine when the vehicle is being
towed.
WARNING
Remember that, while being towed, you
will need to brake harder because there
will be no assistance from the brake booster. Do
not use bendy cables for towing and avoid jerk-
ing. During towing operations, make sure that the
fastened joint does not damage adjoining com-
ponents. When towing the vehicle, comply with
the specific rules of the highway code regarding
the towing device and road conduct. Do not start
the engine while being towed.
WARNING
The front and rear tow hooks should be
used only for emergencies on the road. You
are allowed to tow the car for short dis-
tances using an appropriate device in accordance
with the highway code (a rigid bar), to move the
vehicle on the road in readiness for towing or trans-
porting via a breakdown vehicle. Tow hooks MUST
NOT be used to tow vehicles off the road or where
there are obstacles and/or for towing operations
using cables or other non-rigid devices. Respecting
the above conditions, towing must take place with
two vehicles (one towing, the other towed) aligned
as much as possible along the same centre line.

INDEXIMPORTANT NOTES
❒Where possible, avoid braking suddenly, wheel-spin-
ning and crashing into kerbs, potholes or other obsta-
cles. Long distances on uneven roads can damage the
tyres;
❒check the tyres regularly for cuts on the sides, swelling
or irregular tread wear. Go to a Fiat Dealership if re-
quired.
❒avoid overloading the car when travelling: this may cause
serious damage to the wheels and tyres;
❒if a tyre is punctured, stop the vehicle immediately and
change it to avoid damage to the tyre, the rim, and the
suspension and steering systems;
❒a tyre will age even if it is not used much. Cracks in
the tread and on the sidewalls are a sign of ageing. In
any event, have the tyres checked by specialised per-
sonnel if they have been fitted for longer than six years.
Remember to check the spare wheel very carefully;WHEELS AND TYRES
Check the pressure of each tyre, including the spare, every
two weeks and before long journeys. The pressure should
be checked with the tyre rested and cold.
It is normal for the pressure to increase when the vehi-
cle is used; for the correct tyre inflation pressure, see
“Wheels” in the “Technical specifications” section.
Incorrect pressure causes abnormal tyre wear fig. 185:
A normal pressure: tread evenly worn.
B low pressure: tread particularly worn at the edges.
C high pressure: tread particularly worn in the centre.
The tyres must be replaced when the tread is less than
1.6 mm thick. In all cases, follow the laws in force in the
country where you are driving.
