INDEXUse your hazard lights, warning triangle,
etc to show that your car is stationary.
Passengers should get out of the car, particularly
if it is heavily loaded, and wait for the wheel to be
changed away from the traffic. If you are on a
steep slope or uneven surface, place wedges or
other suitable objects under the wheels to secure
the vehicle. Repair and refit the standard wheel
as soon as possible. Do not grease the bolt threads
before you fit them, because they could sudden-
ly come loose.
WARNING
Use the jack only to replace wheels on the
vehicle with which it is supplied or on oth-
er vehicles of the same model. Never use the jack
for other purposes, such as lifting other models.
Never use the jack to carry out repairs under the
vehicle. Incorrect positioning of the jack may
cause the lifted vehicle to fall. Do not use the jack
for loads higher than the one shown on its label.
WARNING
Incorrect hub cap assembly may cause it
to come off when the car is moving. Nev-
er tamper with the inflation valve. Never intro-
duce tools of any kind between the rim and the
tyre. Check tyre and spare wheel pressures regu-
larly, referring to the values shown in the “Tech-
nical specifications” section.
WARNING
Note for one-way tyres
One-way tyres have a few arrows on the side indicating
the rotation direction. If a wheel is changed (when punc-
tured, for example) the direction of the arrows on the spa-
re wheel tyre may not coincide with the rotation direc-
tion of the wheel to be replaced. In these conditions, too,
the tyre still maintains its safety features.
Anyway, it is recommended to have the wheel repaired
and refitted as soon as possible, as the best performance
is achieved when the rotation direction of all tyres coin-
cides with the one indicated by the arrows.

INDEXImportant notes:
❒ the jack weighs 4 kg;
❒ the jack requires no adjustment;
❒ the jack cannot be repaired; if it breaks, it must be re-
placed with a new one of the same type;
❒ no tool other than the cranking handle may be fitted on
the jack.
To change a tyre, proceed as follows:
❒ stop the vehicle in a position where it is not a danger
for other traffic and where you can replace the wheel
safely. The ground should be flat and solid;
❒ turn the engine off and engage the handbrake;
❒ engage first gear or reverse;
❒ wear the reflective safety jacket (compulsory by law)
before getting out of the vehicle;
❒ indicate that the vehicle is parked up by using the de-
vices required by law in the country in which you are
travelling (e.g. warning triangle, hazard lights etc.);
❒ for Cargo versions fig. 129: move the left front seat for-
wards using lever A to take the tool box and place it
near the tyre to be changed; ❒
for Doblò/Doblò Combi versions fig. 130: open the rear
doors and take the tool box from the compartment in
the rear right side panel by releasing the elastic strap
from the buckle; place the tool box near the tyre to
be changed;

❒ 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;
❒ use the wrench provided to tighten the bolts in a criss-
cross fashion in the order shown in fig. 139.
❒
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 lift-
ed. They must stay clear and not touch the vehicle un-
til 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;

INDEXAutomatic FIX&GO QUICK TYRE
REPA I R KIT
The quick repair kit Fix&Go automatic is contained in a
suitable bag inside the compartment on the right rear side
or, for Cargo versions, under the passenger seat (for ver-
sions with fixed or movable seat), or in the glove com-
partment (for versions with folding seat).
The kit includes fig. 141:
❒a canister A, containing sealant, which is fitted with:
– filler tube B;
– an adhesive label C with the message “max. 80 km/h” to be placed where the driver can easily see it (on
the dashboard) after repairing the tyre;
❒ a compressor D complete with pressure gauge and fit-
tings.
– position the wheel vertically and lay the mounted
adapter on the inner part of the rim, using the sup-
plied screws fasten the wheel to the adapter using
the bolt inlet wrench G. Tighten the screws with the
wheel removal wrench
NOTE Use the spare wheel covering bag to protect the
replaced alloy wheel
❒ 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);
❒ 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).

In 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
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 per-
manent repairs. The tyres repaired must therefore
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.
❒ instruction booklet (see fig. 142), used to ensure the
correct use of the quick tyre repair kit and then given

❒a pair of protective gloves located in the side part of the
compressor;
❒adapters for inflating different elements.
Hand over the instruction booklet to the
personnel charged with treating the tyre
repaired with the kit.
