The spare wheel is specific
for your car. Do not use it on
cars of different models. Do not use
spare wheels of different models on
your car. The wheel bolts are specif-
ic for your car. Do not use them on
cares of different models. Do not use
bolts of different models on your car.
WARNING
Repair and refit the standard
wheel as soon as possible.
Do not apply grease to the bolt
threading before assembly: the bolts
could come loose unexpectedly.
WARNING
The jack may only be used to
replace wheels on the car
which it equips or other cars of the
same model.
Never use the jack for
other purposes, such as lifting other
car models. Never use the jack to car-
ry out repairs under the car. Incorrect
positioning of the jack may cause the
car to fall. Do not use the jack
for
loads higher than those shown on the
label.
WARNING
Incorrect wheel cup assem-
bly may cause it to come off
when the car is travelling. Never tam-
per with the inflation valve. Never in-
troduce tools of any kind between rim
and tyre. Check tyre and spare wheel
pressure regularly referring to the
val-
ues shown in the “Technical Specifi-
cations” chapter.
WARNING
Important notes:
the jack weighs 1.76 kg;
the jack requires no adjustment;
the jack cannot be repaired: replace
with an original spare part if damaged;
no tool other than its handle may be fit-
ted on the jack.

WHEELS AND TYRES
Check the pressure of each tyre, includ-
ing the spare, approximately once every
two weeks and before starting a long jour-
ney: this check must be performed with
the tyre rested and cold.
It is normal for pressure to increase when
the car is used. For the correct tyre in-
flation pressure, see “Wheels” in “Tech-
nical specifications” section.
Incorrect pressure causes abnormal tyre
wearfig. 9:
Anormal pressure: evenly worn tread.
Blow pressure: tread particularly worn
on the edges.
Cexcessive pressure: tread particularly
worn in the middle.
The tyres must be replaced when the
tread is less than 1.6 mm thick. In all cas-
es, follow the laws in force in the coun-
try where you are driving.
fig. 9F0R0141m
IMPORTANT NOTES
Avoid braking suddenly, burning starts
and violent knocks against the curb,
potholes or other obstacles if possible.
Long dista nces on rough roads may
damage the tyres;
check the tyres regularly for cuts on the
sides, swelling or irregular tread wear.
Go to a Fiat Dealership if required.
 do not over load your car : this may
cause serious damage to wheels and
tyres;
if a tyre is punctured, stop immediate-
ly and charge it to avoid damage to the
tyre, the rim, suspensions and steering
system;
a tyre will age even if it is not used
much. Cracks in the tread and on the
sidewalls are a sign of ageing. Have the
tyres checked by specialised personnel
if they have been fitted for longer than
6 years. Remember to check the spare
wheel very carefully;
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 20 thousand kilome-
tres, keeping them on the same side of
the car so as not to reverse the dire-
ction of rotation.
Remember that the road
holding qualities of your car
also depends on the correct inflation
pressure of the tyres.
