2012 FIAT BRAVO wheel bolts

WARNING
Alert other drivers that the car is
stationary in compliance with local
regulations: hazard warning lights, warning
triangle, etc . Any passengers on board should
leave the car, especially if it is heavily laden.
Passengers should stay away from on-coming
traffic while the wheel is being changed. On
hills or uneven roads, use chocks or
appropriate objects to block the wheels of the
car.
WARNING
The car's driving characteristics will be
modified with the space-saver wheel
fitted. Avoid sudden starting or stopping, sharp
or fast turns.The total life of a space-saver
wheel is approximately 3000 km, after which it
must be replaced by another wheel of the
same type. Never install a traditional tyre on a
rim designed to be used as a space-saver
wheel. Have the tyre repaired and refitted as
soon as possible. Using two or more space-
saver wheels at the same time is forbidden. Do
not grease the threads of bolts before fitting
them: they might slip out .
WARNING
The jack provided is only intended to
be used for replacing wheels on the car
with which it is supplied, or on same-model
vehicles. Never use the jack for other
purposes, such as lifting other car models.
Never use it for repair operations under the
car. Incorrectly positioning the jack may cause
the car to fall. Do not use the jack for loads
higher than the one shown on its label. Never
install snow chains on the space-saver wheel; if
a front tyre (driving wheel) is punctured and
you need to use snow chains, use a standard
wheel from the rear axle and install the
space-saver wheel on the rear axle. In this
way, with two normal drive wheels, it is
possible to use snow chains.
WARNING
Fit the hub cap correctly to prevent it
from coming free in motion. Never
tamper with the inflating valve. Never
introduce tools of any kind between rim and
tyre. Check tyre and space-saver wheel
pressures regularly, referring to the values
shown in the "Technical data" chapter.
