USE OF THE "Fix&Go Automatic"KIT
For kit usage see paragraph "Fix&Go Automatic kit"
in the Owner Handbook in the section concerning
version
.
REPLACING A WHEELGENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
The car is equipped with the "Fix&Go Automatic
Kit": see the paragraph “Fix&Go Automatic Kit” for
how to use this device.
As an alternative to the “Fix&Go Automatic Kit” the
car may be equipped with a space-saver wheel: see
the instructions on the following pages for changing
the wheel.
WARNING
The space-saver wheel (for
versions/markets where provided) is
specific to your car, do not use it on other
models, or use the space-saver wheel of other
models on your car.The space-saver wheel must
only be used in the event of emergency. It must
only be used for the distance necessary to reach
a service point and the car speed must not
exceed 80 km/h.The space-saver wheel has an
orange label that summarises the main cautions
for use and limitations. Never remove or cover
the label.The following information is provided
in four languages on the label: "Important! For
temporary use only! 80 km/h max! Replace with
a standard wheel as soon as possible. Never
cover this indication." Never apply a wheel cap
on a space-saver wheel.

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. If you
are on a slope or uneven surface, place the
wedge provided under the wheels (see the
instructions on the next pages).
WARNING
The vehicle's driving characteristics will
be modified with the space-saver wheel
fitted. Avoid violent acceleration and braking,
abrupt steering and fast cornering.The overall
duration of the space-saver wheel is of about
3000 km, after which the relevant tyre must be
replaced with another one of the same type.
Never install a standard tyre on a rim that is
designed for use with a space-saver wheel. Have
the wheel repaired and refitted as soon as
possible. Using two or more small space-saver
wheels at the same time is forbidden. Do not
grease the threads of the stud bolts before
fitting them: they might slip out .
WARNING
The jack shall only be used for raising
the car model it has been supplied with.
Never use the jack for other purposes, such as
raising other car models. Never use the jack for
repair operations under the vehicle. Incorrectly
positioning of the jack may cause the car to fall.
Do not use the jack for loads higher than the
one shown on its label.The space-saver wheel
cannot be fitted with snow chains. If a front
(drive) tyre is punctured and chains are needed,
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 at the
front axle, it is possible to use snow chains.
WARNING
Incorrectly fitting the wheel cap may
cause it to fall off when the vehicle is in
motion. Never tamper with the inflation valve.
Never introduce tools of any kind between rim
and tyre. Check tyre and space-saver wheel
pressures regularly, complying with the values
given in the “Wheels” paragraph.
318

WARNING
At the end of the operation of
raising/locking the space-saver wheel
device, the spanner must be extracted, taking
care NOT to turn it in the wrong direction to
facilitate the extraction of the spanner itself, so
as to prevent the attachment device from being
released and the lack of safe restraint .Punctured tyre position
5-seater versions
Place the punctured tyre in the luggage
compartment.
7-seater versions
❒With third row of rear seats folded: place the
punctured tyre in the luggage compartment, above
the backrests.
❒With third row of rear seats not folded: remove the
luggage-covering curtain (which must be positioned
in front of second row of seats) then place the
punctured tyre in the luggage compartment,
positioning it as shown in fig. 41 (wheel hub facing
the inside of the passenger compartment in order
to prevent the wheel from falling when closing the
tailgate).

RIM PROTECTOR TYRES

DO NOT fit wheel caps when using
integral wheel caps fixed (with springs)
to the steel rim and after sale tyres provided
with Rim Protector (fig. 46). Use of unsuitable
tyres and wheel caps may cause sudden loss of
tyre pressure.

TIPS, CONTROLS AND GENERAL
INFORMATIONTIPS
Road safety
Learn how to use the various system functions
before setting off.
Read the instructions for the system carefully before
setting off.
WARNING

Reception may be interfered with by the presence of
mountains, buildings or bridges, or when you are far
away from the broadcaster.
IMPORTANT The volume may be increased when
receiving traffic alerts and news.Care and maintenance
