2015 FIAT DOBLO COMBI spare wheel

NOTE The vehicle may be equipped
with FiX&Go Automatic tyre repair
kit, space-saver wheel or full size
spare wheel (with or without original
TPMS sensor to measure tyre
pressure).
After the punctured tyre has been
repaired with the original tyre sealant
contained in the FiX&Go Automatic
tyre repair kit, the previous condition
must be restored, so that the
warning light is off during normal
driving.
Space-saver wheel (for versions/
markets, where provided): the
space-saver wheel is not equipped
with a TPMS sensor. Once fitted,
while driving normally, the warning
light comes on (flashing for about 75
seconds, and then constantly).
This condition lasts until a wheel
equipped with an original TPMS
sensor is fitted on the vehicle.Normal spare wheel (without TPMS
sensor): once fitted, while driving
normally, the
warning light comes
on (flashing for about 75 seconds,
and then constantly). This condition
lasts until a wheel equipped with
an original TPMS sensor is fitted on
the vehicle. The system is then
restored and the
warning light
switches off.
Normal spare wheel (with TPMS
sensor): once fitted, while driving
normally, the
warning light
switches off.
IMPORTANT In all the above-
mentioned cases, it is advisable to
check the spare wheel tyre pressure
before starting driving.
NOTE If the tyres are replaced,
driving the vehicle for short
stretches, some time might be
needed before the system is
restored.IMPORTANT
WARNING
86) The TPMS is optimised for the
original tyres and wheels
provided. TPMS pressures and
alerts have been defined
according to the size of the tyres
mounted on the vehicle. Using
equipment with different size,
type or kind may cause irregular
system operation or sensor
damage. Non-original spare
wheels can damage the sensor.
Do not use tyre sealant or
balancing weights if the vehicle is
equipped with TPMS as these
may damage the sensors.
87) If the system signals a pressure
decrease on a specific tyre, it is
recommended to check the
pressure on all four tyres.
88) TPMS does not relieve the driver
from the obligation to check the
tyre pressure every month; it is
not to be considered a replacing
system for maintenance or a
safety system.

STARTING AND DRIVING

CHANGING A WHEEL
The vehicle is originally equipped
with the Fix&Go automatic quick
tyre repair kit (see instructions in the
next section). As an alternative,
the vehicle may have a normal-sized
spare wheel.
Wheel changing and correct use of
the jack and spare wheel call for
some precautions, as listed below.
108) 109) 110) 111)
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 punctured, for example) the
direction of the arrows on the spare
wheel tyre may not coincide with
the rotation direction 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
coincides with the one indicated by
the arrows.
Please note that:
❒the jack weight is 4 kg;
❒the jack requires no adjustment;
❒the jack cannot be repaired and in
the event of a fault it must be
replaced by another original one;
❒no tool other than its cranking device
may be fitted on the jack.
To change a wheel, proceed as
follows:
❒stop the vehicle in a position that is
not dangerous for oncoming traffic
where you can change the wheel
safely. The ground should be flat
if possible, and sufficiently firm;
❒stop the engine and pull the
handbrake;
❒engage first gear or reverse;
❒wear the reflective safety jacket
(compulsory by law in certain
countries) before getting out of the
vehicle;❒indicate that the vehicle has broken
down using the devices required by
the law in the current country (e.g.
warning triangle, hazard lights, etc.);
❒for Cargo versions fig. 180: move the
left front seat forward and operate
lever A to access the tool bag; take it
to the wheel that needs replacing;
❒for Doblò/Doblò Combi versions fig.
181: open the rear doors, inside the
compartment on the rear right side,
take the tool bag, unhooking the
elastic band from the buckle, and
take it next to the wheel to be
changed;
❒take wheel spanner B fig. 182 and
the extension with pentagonal fitting
C; inside the load area, fit extension
C on bolt A; use spanner B to lower
the wheel by unwinding the wire;

❒operate the jack using the knob
(release the handle from the clip and
the hole on the nut) in order to open
it partially fig. 187, then position it
under the vehicle in line with
references A fig. 188 near the wheel
to be changed.
❒operate the jack with the knob to
open it until the groove A fig. 189
of the jack is correctly inserted in the
lower profile B on the side member:❒warn anybody nearby that the vehicle
is about to be lifted. They must stay
clear and not touch the vehicle until it
is back on the ground.
❒introduce the handle in the hole on
the nut and the plastic clip, then
operate the jack and raise 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: avoid touching them. If
you become soiled with the
lubricating grease, clean it off
thoroughly;
❒fully loosen the fixing bolts and
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 B fig. 190 two threads into
the hole closest to the inflation valve
A;
❒fit the hubcap, making sure that the
symbol
aligns with the inflation
valve, and then insert the other three
bolts.
❒tighten the bolts using the spanner
provided;
❒turn the jack handle to lower the
vehicle, and remove the jack;

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;)

Combi versions).
WARNING
108) The spare wheel (where
provided) is specifically for your
vehicle. Therefore, it must not be
used on other models. Do not
use spare wheels of other models
on your vehicle. The spare wheel
must be used only in an
emergency. Use of the spare
wheel must kept to the minimum
necessary.109) Use your hazard lights, warning
triangle, etc. to show that your
vehicle is stationary according to
the regulations in force.
Passengers should get out of the
vehicle, particularly if it is heavily
loaded, and wait for the wheel
to be changed away from the
traffic. If you are on a slope or
uneven surface, place wedges or
other suitable objects under the
wheels to secure the vehicle.
Have the wheel repaired and
refitted as soon as possible. Do
not apply grease to the bolt
threads before assembly: they
might spontaneously unscrew.
110) Use the jack only to replace
wheels on the vehicle with which
it is supplied or on other 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
those shown on the label.111) Incorrect hub cap assembly
may cause it to come off when the
vehicle is moving. Never tamper
with the inflation valve. Never
introduce tools of any kind
between rim and tyre. Check tyre
and spare wheel pressures
regularly, referring to the values
shown in the "Technical
specifications" section.

the tyre repair workshop
personnel.
113) Do not use the compressor for
more than 20 consecutive
minutes. Risk of overheating.
Tyres repaired with the quick tyre
repair kit must only be used
temporarily, as the kit is not
suitable for a definitive repair.
114) Punctures on the sides of the
tyre cannot be repaired. Do not
use the quick tyre repair kit if the
damage is due to running with flat
tyre.
115) If the wheel rim has been
damaged (bent so as to cause air
to leak), the wheel may not be
repaired. Do not remove foreign
bodies (screws or nails) from
the tyre.116) The bottle contains ethylene
glycol. It contains latex that might
cause allergic reactions. It is
harmful if swallowed. It is irritant
for the eyes. It may cause
sensitisation if inhaled or on
contact. Avoid contact with eyes,
skin and clothes. In the case of
contact, wash immediately with
plenty of water. In the event that it
is swallowed, do not induce
vomiting. Rinse out your mouth,
drink large quantities of water and
seek immediate medical attention.
Keep out of the reach of children.
The product must not be used
by asthmatics. Do not inhale the
vapours during insertion and
suction. Call a doctor immediately
if allergic reactions are noted.

IN AN EMERGENCY

The tyres must be replaced when
the tread is less than 1.6 mm thick.
In any case, follow the laws in force
in the country you are in.
IMPORTANT
❒As far as possible, avoid sharp
braking, screech starts and violent
shocks against pavements, potholes
or other hard obstacles. Driving for
long stretches over bumpy roads can
damage the tyres;
❒periodically check that the tyres have
no cuts in the side wall, abnormal
swelling or irregular tyre wear.
Contact a Fiat Dealership if required;
❒avoid overloading the vehicle when
travelling: this may cause serious
damage to the wheels and tyres;
❒if a tyre is punctured, stop
immediately and change it to avoid
damage to the tyre, the rim,
suspensions and steering system;
❒tyres age even if they are not used
much. Cracks in the tread and on
the side walls are a sign of ageing.
Have the tyres checked by
specialised personnel if they have
been fitted for longer than 6 years.
Remember to check the spare wheel
very carefully;❒in the case of replacement, always fit
new tyres, avoiding those of
unknown origin;
❒If a tyre is changed, also change the
inflation valve;
❒to allow even wear between the front
and rear tyres, it is advisable to
change them over every 10-15
thousand kilometres, keeping them
on the same side of the vehicle so as
not to reverse the direction of
rotation.
139) 140) 141) 142)
WARNING
139) Remember that the road
holding qualities of your vehicle
also depend on the correct
inflation pressure of the tyres.
140) If tyre pressure is too low, the
tire may overheat and be severely
damaged as a result.
141) Do not switch tyres from the
right­hand side of the vehicle to
the left­hand side, and vice versa.142) Never submit alloy rims to
repainting treatments requiring
the use of temperatures
exceeding 150°C. The mechanical
properties of the wheels could
be impaired.
