NOTE When jacking up the rear of the
vehicle, turn the tip of the jack so that
the grooved portion (C) properly meets
the designated point.
3. Using the jack handle, turn the
release valve (D) clockwise until it stops.
4. Insert the jack handle in the bracket
of the jack and hook the notch (E) on
the jack handle end to the claw (F) of
the bracket.
5. Move the jack handle up and down
to raise the ram until just before the jack
contacts the jacking point of the
vehicle. Ensure that the jack will
properly contact the vehicle jacking
point. Move the jack handle up and
down to raise the vehicle.NOTE This jack is a 2 stage expansion
type.

IN CASE OF EMERGENCY
271)Mount the spare wheel with the valve
stem (J) facing outboard. If you cannot see
the valve stem (J), you have installed the
wheel backwards. Operating the vehicle
with the spare wheel installed backwards
can cause vehicle damage and result in an
accident.
272)Be sure to open the release valve
slowly. If it is opened quickly, the vehicle will
drop abruptly and the jack may come out
of position, causing a serious accident.
273)Never use your foot or a pipe
extension for extra force in the wheel nut
wrench. If you do so, you will tighten the
nut too much.
274)The tyre pressure should be
periodically checked and maintained at the
specified pressure while the tyre is stowed.
275)After changing the tyre and driving the
vehicle about 1,000 km, retighten the
wheel nuts to make sure that they have not
come loose.
276)If the steering wheel vibrates when
driving after changing the tyre, we
recommend you to have the tyres checked
for balance.
277)Do not mix one type of tyre with
another or use a different size from the one
listed. This would cause early wear and
poor handling.
278)The spare wheel should always be
securely in position. If a flat tyre is
changed, put the flat tyre in the spare
wheel mounting position with the wheel
outer surface upward, and use the wheel
nut wrench to secure it firmly.279)Never tamper with the inflation valve.
Never introduce tools of any kind between
rim and tyre. Check tyre and spare wheel
pressure regularly, referring to the values
shown in the "Technical specifications"
section.
280)The moving components of the jack
(screw and joints) can also cause injuries:
do not touch them. If you come into
contact with lubricating grease, clean
yourself thoroughly.
IMPORTANT
132)Avoid using different size tyres from
the one listed and the combined use of
different types of tyres, as this can affect
driving safety.
133)Even if a wheel has the same rim size
and offset as the specified type of wheel,
its shape may prevent it from being fitted
correctly. Consult an authorised Fiat
Dealership before using wheels that you
have.
134)When installing or removing the spare
wheel, please observe the followings. If you
do not follow them, it could result in break
the spare wheel carrier. Do not use the
power tool. Use the wheel nut wrench
stowed on the vehicle. Do not apply a force
of 400 N or more at the end of the wheel
nut wrench.
135)Never apply oil to either the wheel
bolts or the nuts or they will tighten too
much.
136)If the release valve is loosened too
much (2 or more turns) in the anticlockwise
direction, the jack’s oil will leak and the jack
cannot be used.137)Close the release valve slowly when
lowering the vehicle, or the valve may be
damaged.
