❒use the wrench provided to fully
tighten the bolts, passing alternately
from one bolt to the opposite one,
as per the numerical sequence
illustrated in fig. 191.
At the end of the
operation
❒fix bracket A fig. 192 to the wheel
after passing it through the hole,
insert the threaded pin into one of the
bolt holes and secure by tightening
knob B;
❒for vehicles with alloy rims take the
adapter D fig. 193 and fit the plastic
spacer C between the spring and the
flange of the bracket. The plastic fin
must be directed downwards and
perfectly coincide with the flange cut
part;❒fit the bracket E fig. 194 in the
adapter D, fit the pin in the hole and
fasten by the knob F;
❒position the wheel vertically and rest
the fitted adaptor on the inside of the
rim, then using the screws provided
fix the wheel to the adaptor, using the
socket wrench for the wheel nuts G
fig. 195. Tighten the screws with
the wheel removal wrench.
NOTE Use the spare wheel covering
bag to protect the replaced alloy
wheel.
❒Check that the position of the
replaced wheel under the platform is
correct (the lifting system is equipped
with a clutch to limit the end of the
stroke, incorrect positioning may
jeopardise safety;)
❒put the jack and the tools back in the
dedicated tool bag;

(*) For 1.4 Turbo Petrol versions, in order to guarantee correct operation and prevent serious damage to the engine, it is essential to observe the following: only use spark plugs
specifically certified for these engines; all spark plugs should be of the same type and brand (see the “Engine” paragraph in the "Technical Specifications" section); strictly
comply with the replacement intervals in the Scheduled Servicing Plan; you are advised to contact a Fiat Dealership to have plugs replaced.
(**) Irrespective of the mileage, the timing drive belt must be changed every 4 years for heavy-duty use (cold climates, town use, long periods of idling) or at least every 5 years.

4. Do not travel with a heavy load:
the weight of the vehicle (especially
when driving in town) and its trim
greatly affect fuel consumption and
stability.
5. Remove roof racks or ski racks
after use. These accessories reduce
the vehicle's aerodynamic
penetration and have a negative
effect on fuel consumption.
6. When transporting particularly
large objects, use a trailer if
possible.
7. Use the vehicle's air vents if
possible: travelling with the windows
open impairs aerodynamics.
8. Use electrical devices only for the
amount of time needed. The
vehicle’s heated rear window,
additional headlights, screen wipers
and heater fan require a
considerable amount of energy;
increasing the current uptake
increases fuel consumption (by up
to +25% in an urban cycle).
9. Air conditioning leads to higher
fuel consumption (on average up to
+30%). If the temperature outside
is not too extreme, try and use
the air vents.Driving style
1. After starting the engine you
should drive away immediately and
slowly, avoiding high revs. Do not
warm up the engine at low or high
revs when the vehicle is stationary;
this causes the engine to warm
up more slowly, thereby increasing
fuel consumption, emissions and
mechanical component wear.
2. Avoid pointless actions such as
revving up when at traffic lights
or before stopping the engine. The
latter action, like double-
declutching, is unnecessary and
causes increased fuel consumption
and pollution.
3. Gear selection: select a high gear
as soon as possible (taking into
account normal engine operation
and traffic conditions) without
pushing the engine to high revs
during the intermediate gears. Using
low gears at high revs to get lively
acceleration increases fuel
consumption, harmful emissions
and engine wear.4. Vehicle speed: fuel consumption
increases exponentially as the speed
of the vehicle increases. Keep your
speed moderate and as even as
possible, avoiding unnecessary
braking and acceleration, which
cause excessive fuel consumption
and increased emissions. Keeping a
safe distance from the vehicle in
front helps to maintain a steady
speed.
5. Acceleration: accelerating
violently severely affects
consumption and emissions.
Acceleration should be gradual and
should not exceed the maximum
engine torque rate.
