2014 FIAT FREEMONT spare tire location

4. Using tire chains on the vehicle.
5. Using wheels/tires not equipped with TPMS sen-sors.
The EVIC will also display a "SERVICE TPM SYSTEM"
message for a minimum of five seconds when a system
fault related to an incorrect sensor location fault is
detected. In this case, the "SERVICE TPM SYSTEM"
message is then followed with a graphic display with
pressure values still shown. This indicates that the
pressure values are still being received from the TPM
sensors but they may not be located in the correct
vehicle position. The system still needs to be serviced
as long as the "SERVICE TPM SYSTEM" message is
displayed.
NOTE:
1. The compact spare tire does not have a tire pres- sure monitoring sensor. Therefore, the TPMS will
not monitor the pressure in the compact spare tire.
2. If you install the compact spare tire in place of a road tire that has a pressure below the low-pressure
warning limit, upon the next ignition switch cycle,
the TPMS Telltale Light will remain on and a chime
will sound. In addition, the graphic in the EVIC will
still display a different color pressure value. An
"Inflate Tire to XXX" message will also be displayed. 3. After driving the vehicle for up to 20 minutes above
25 km/h, the TPMS Telltale Light will flash on and off
for 75 seconds and then remain on solid. In addition,
the EVIC will display a "SERVICE TPM SYSTEM"
message for a minimum of five seconds and then
display dashes (- -) in place of the pressure value.
4. For each subsequent ignition switch cycle, a chime will sound, the TPMS Telltale Light will flash on and
off for 75 seconds and then remain on solid, and the
EVIC will display a "SERVICE TPM SYSTEM" mes-
sage for a minimum of five seconds and then display
dashes (- -) in place of the pressure value.
5. Once you repair or replace the original road tire and reinstall it on the vehicle in place of the compact
spare, the TPMS will update automatically. In addi-
tion, the TPMS Telltale Light will turn off and the
graphic in the EVIC will display a new pressure value
instead of dashes (- -), as long as no tire pressure is
below the low-pressure warning limit in any of the
four active road tires. The vehicle may need to be
driven for up to 20 minutes above 25 km/h in order
for the TPMS to receive this information.

Jack Location
The jack and jack-handle are stowed underneath a
cover in the rear storage bin in the cargo area.
(fig. 166)
Spare Tire Location
The spare tire is stowed underneath the rear of the
vehicle and is held in place by means of a cable winch
mechanism.Preparations For Jacking
1. Park the vehicle on a firm, level surface as far from
the edge of the roadway as possible. Avoid icy or
slippery areas.
WARNING!
Do not attempt to change a tire on the
side of t

he vehicle close to moving traf-
fic . Pull far enough off the road to avoid the
danger of being hit when operating the jack or
changing the wheel.
2. Turn on the Hazard Warning flashers.
3. Set the parking brake.
4. Place the shift lever in PARK (automatic transmis- sion) or in GEAR (manual transmission).
5. Turn OFF the ignition.
6. Block both the front and rear of the wheel diago- nally opposite of the jacking posi-
tion. For example, if changing the
right front tire, block the left rear
wheel.
NOTE: Passengers should not remain in the vehicle
when the vehicle is being jacked.

Do not attempt to raise the vehicle by
jacking on locations other than those
indicated in the Jacking Instructions for
this vehicle.
(fig. 170)
1. Remove the spare tire, jack, and jack-handle from stowage.
2. Loosen, but do not remove, the wheel nuts on the wheel with the flat tire. Turn the wheel nuts coun-
terclockwise one turn while the wheel is still on the
ground. 3.Place the jack underneath the lift area that is closest
to the flat tire. Center the jack saddle between the
drain flute formations on the sill flange. Turn the jack
screw clockwise to firmly engage the jack saddle with
the lift area of the sill flange.
(fig. 171) (fig. 172)
(fig. 173) (fig. 174)
4. Raise the vehicle by turning the jack screw clock- wise with the jack handle. Raise the vehicle until the
tire just clears the road surface and enough clear-
ance is obtained to install the spare tire. Minimum
tire lift provides maximum stability.

10. Lower the jack to its fully closed position.
11. Place the deflated (flat) tire in the cargo area.Do
not stow the deflated tire in the spare tire
stowage location. Have the deflated (flat) tire
repaired or replaced as soon as possible.
12. To stow the winch cable and retainer, fit the assembled jack-handle over the winch drive nut.
Rotate the jack-handle assembly clockwise until
you hear the winch mechanism click three times.
It cannot be over tightened.
13. Stow the jack-handle and jack. Remove the wheel blocks from the vehicle and release the park brake.
14. Check the tire pressure as soon as possible. Adjust the tire pressure as required.
ROAD TIRE INSTALLATION
Vehicles Equipped With Wheel Covers
1. Mount the road tire on the axle.
2. To ease the installation process for steel wheels with wheel covers, install two lug nuts on the
mounting studs which are on each side of the valve
stem. Install the lug nuts with the cone shaped end
of the nut toward the wheel. Lightly tighten the lug
nuts.WARNING!
To avoid the risk of forcing the vehicle
off t h

e jack, do not tighten the lug nuts
fully until the vehicle has been lowered. Failure to
follow this warning may result in personal injury.
(fig. 176)
3. Align the valve notch in the wheel cover with the valve stem on the wheel. Install the cover by hand,
snapping the cover over the two lug nuts. Do not
use a hammer or excessive force to install the cover.
