REPLACING A WHEEL
GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
The vehicle can be provided with (if requested, for ver-
sions/markets, where provided) a small spare wheel.
Wheel changing and correct use of the jack and of the
small spare wheel call for some precautions as listed
below.
The small spare wheel (for versions/markets,
where provided) is specific for your car. Do
not use it on different models of car. Do not
use spare wheels from different models on your car.
The small spare wheel must only be used in an
emergency. Never use it for more than strictly nec-
essary and never exceed 80 km/h. On the small
spare wheel there is an orange label, summarizing
the main warnings regarding small spare wheel us-
age restrictions.
Never remove or cover the label. Never apply
any hub cap on the small spare wheel. The
label contains the following indications in
four languages: Warning! For temporary use only!
80 km/h max! Replace as soon as possible with a
standard service wheel. Never cover this indication.
If you choose to install wheels of a different type
(with alloy rims instead of steel ones) you must al-
so change all the wheel retaining bolts with others
of a suitable size.
Indicate that the car is stationary according
to the laws in force: hazard warning lights,
refracting warning triangle, etc. Passengers
should leave the car, particularly if it is very loaded
and wait for the wheel to be changed away from on-
coming traffic. In the event of a wheel change on a
slope or on unsurfaced roads, chock the wheels.

REFITTING THE STANDARD WHEEL
Following the procedure described previously, raise the
car and remove the small spare wheel.
Versions with steel rims
Proceed as follows:
❍make sure the contact surfaces between standard wheel
and hub are clean so that the retaining bolts will not
come loose;
❍fit the standard wheel inserting the 4 bolts into the
holes;
❍using the wrench provided, tighten the retaining bolts;
❍press-fit the hub cap, aligning the special groove (on
the cap) with the inflation valve;
❍lower the car and remove the jack;
❍using the wrench provided, fully tighten the bolts in
the sequence shown previously in the diagram.Versions with alloy wheels
❍insert the wheel on the hub and tighten the bolts us-
ing the wrench provided;
❍lower the car and remove the jack;
❍using the wrench provided, fully tighten the bolts in
the sequence shown in fig. 8;
❍reinstall the press-fitted hub cap, making sure that the
reference hole on the wheel is aligned with the refer-
ence pin on the cap.
IMPORTANT If it is not fitted properly, the hub cap may
detach itself when the vehicle is running.

After tyre replacement
❍stow the small spare wheel D-fig. 10 in the space pro-
vided in the luggage compartment;
❍fit the partially-opened jack in its box, forcing it light-
ly to prevent it from vibrating when travelling;
❍put the tools back into place in the container;
❍stow the container, complete with tools, into the spare
wheel and tighten the locking device B-fig. 10;
❍put back the luggage compartment mat into the prop-
er position.
IMPORTANT Do not use an inner tube with tubeless tyres.
Periodically check the inflation pressure of the tyres and
small spare wheel.CHANGING A BULB
GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
❍Before changing a bulb check the contacts for oxida-
tion;
❍blown bulbs must be replaced with others of the same
type and power;
❍after replacing a headlight bulb, always check its align-
ment for safety reasons;
❍when a bulb is not working, check that the corre-
sponding fuse is intact before replacing it: refer to the
“Replacing fuses” paragraph in this chapter for fuse
location.
Modifications or repairs to the electrical sys-
tem that are not carried out properly or do
not take the system’s technical specifications
into account can cause malfunctions leading to the
risk of fire. If you choose to install wheels of a different
type (with alloy rims instead of the steel ones
or vice versa) you must change all the re-
taining bolts with others of a suitable size and use
a specific small spare wheel, with different speci-
fications. It is advisable to keep the replaced bolts
and small spare wheel, as they are necessary if in
future you decide to reinstall the original wheels.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE235
5
❍the tyre ages even if rarely used. Cracks in the tread and
on the sidewalls are a sign of ageing. Have the tyres
checked by specialised personnel if they have been fit-
ted for longer than 6 years. Remember to check the spare
wheel very carefully;
❍when replacing the tyres, always fit new tyres, avoid-
ing those of dubious origin;
❍if a tyre is changed, also change the inflation valve;
❍to allow even wear between the front and rear tyres,
it is advisable to change them over every 10-15 thou-
sand kilometres, keeping them on the same side of the
car so as not to reverse the direction of rotation.
Remember that the road holding qualities of
your car also depend on the correct inflation
pressure of the tyres.
If the pressure is too low the tyre will get
overheated, with the risk of serious damage
to the tyre.
Avoid moving the tyres from the right side of
the vehicle to the left side and vice versa.
Do not repaint alloy wheel rims at temper-
atures higher than 150°C. The mechanical
characteristics of the wheels might be dis-
rupted.

(*) Depending on the trim level, the spare wheel for the 1.9 Twin Turbo Multijet and the 2.0 Multijet has a 205/55 R16-91V tyre
and a 7Jx16” – ET31 rim. In that case the 205/55 R16-91V has the same specifications as the spare wheel: the text and the warn-
ings in the “Chaging a wheel” paragraph therefore refer to the 205/55 R16-91V tyre.

the tyre profile. On 225/45 R17-91W tyres, use reduced size snow chains with a maximum projection
of 7 mm beyond the tyre profile.
IMPORTANT The use of 225/40 R18 92W tyres requires specific technical measures to be adopted. For this reason, this
tyre may only be ordered at the time of vehicle purchase. Do not install this tyre after vehicle purchase!
