37)
Please note that:
the jack weight is 2.15 kg;
the jack cannot be repaired and in
the event of a fault it must be replaced
by another genuine one;
No tool other than its cranking device
may be fitted on the jack.
Servicing
Prevent any dirt from depositing on
the "worm screw";
Keep the "worm screw" lubricated;
Never modify the jack.
Conditions for non-use
Temperatures below −40°C;
On sandy or muddy ground;
On uneven ground;
On steep roads;
In extreme weather conditions:
thunderstorms, typhoons, hurricanes,
blizzards, storms, etc.
In direct contact with the engine or
for repairs under the vehicle.
On boats.
CHANGING PROCEDURE
127) 128) 129) 130) 131)
35) 36)
Proceed as follows:
stop the car in a position that is not
dangerous for oncoming traffic where
you can change the wheel safely. The
ground must be flat and sufficiently
compact;
stop the engine, engage the hazard
warning lights and the parking brake;
engage first gear or reverse or, for
versions with automatic transmission (if
present), move the lever to position P
(Park);
wear the reflective safety jacket
before getting out of the car (anyway
comply with the laws in force in the
country you are driving in);
open the luggage compartment and
lift up the mat;
unscrew the locking ring nut 1
fig. 113;
take out the toolbox 3 and bring it
next to the wheel to be replaced;
take the spare wheel 2;
take the chock 1 fig. 114 and fold it
out as shown in the diagram;

fig. 119 (clockwise) to operate the jack
and raise the car until the wheel is
raised a few centimetres above the
ground.
loosen the stud bolts completely and
remove the punctured wheel;
make sure the contact surfaces
between spare wheel and hub are clean
so that the fastening bolts will not come
loose;
fit the spare wheel by inserting the
first bolt for two threads into the hole
closest to the inflation valve and
proceed in the same manner with the
other bolts;
tighten the retaining bolts well using
wrench 1 fig. 118;
turn the jack handle 1
fig. 119 (anticlockwise) to lower the car
and remove the jack;
use the wrench provided to fasten
the bolts completely in a criss-cross
fashion as shown in fig. 121;
for versions with steel rim: make the
groove 1 fig. 122 provided on the hub
cap and highlighted by symbol 2
coincide with the inflation valve;
place the inner part of the hub cap
on the wheel rim;
engage the hub cap by applying an
axial force in several points as shown in
fig. 123 to allow the correct coupling
between hub cap and wheel.At the end of the operation
stow the spare wheel in the space
provided in the boot;
insert the partially open jack into
container 3 fig. 113 and force it slightly
into its housing so that it does not
vibrate when the car is moving;
put the tools back into their places in
the container;
stow the container 3, complete with
tools, inside the spare wheel;
tighten the tool container locking
device 1 fig. 113;
reposition the mat in the boot.
NOTE If replacing a wheel with alloy
rim, stove it temporarily into the spare
wheel compartment with the cosmetic
side facing upwards.

WARNING
127)If left in the passenger compartment,
the punctured wheel and jack constitute a
serious risk to the safety of occupants in
the event of accidents or sharp braking.
Therefore, always place both the jack and
punctured wheel in the dedicated housing
in the boot.
128)It is extremely dangerous to attempt
to change a wheel on the side of the
vehicle next to the driving lane: make sure
that the vehicle is at a sufficient distance
from the road, to avoid being run over.
129)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. For safety
reasons, always block the wheels with the
chocks provided.130)The jack is a tool developed and
designed only for changing a wheel, if a
tyre gets punctured or damaged, on the
vehicle with which it is supplied or on other
vehicles of the same model. Any other use,
e.g. to jack up other vehicle models or
different things, is strictly prohibited. Never
use it to carry out maintenance or repairs
under the vehicle or to change
summer/winter wheels and vice versa.
Never go under the raised vehicle. If any
work under the vehicle is necessary,
contact the Fiat Service Network. Incorrect
placing of the jack can cause the vehicle to
drop: use it only in the positions indicated.
Do not use the jack for loads higher than
the one shown on its label. Never start the
engine with vehicle raised. If the vehicle is
raised more than necessary, everything can
become more unstable, with the risk of the
vehicle dropping violently. Thus, lift the
vehicle only as needed in order to access
the spare wheel.
131)Never tamper with the inflation valve.
Never introduce tools of any kind between
the rim and the tyre. Check tyre and
space-saver wheel pressures regularly,
complying with the values given in the
"Technical specifications" chapter.132)The jack is a tool developed and

advise you to contact a Fiat Dealership.

IMPORTANT
35)When turning the jack handle make
sure that it can turn freely without scraping
your hand against the ground. The moving
components of the jack ("worm screw" and
joints) can also cause injuries: avoid
touching them. If you come into contact
with lubricating grease, clean yourself
thoroughly.
36)Contact a Fiat Dealership as soon as
possible to have the correct tightening of
the wheel bolts checked.

IN AN EMERGENCY

a visible position. Wear the protective
gloves provided. Remove the cap from
the valve of the punctured tyre and
connect and firmly tighten the
transparent tube of the sealing fluid 1
fig. 125;
ensure that the on-off button is in0
(OFF) position. If provided, open the
cover of the compressor 4 fig. 124 and
insert the electrical connector in the
12V socket of the vehicle fig. 126,
switch on the vehicle engine;
activate the compressor moving
on-off button toI(ON) position. When
the pressure gauge shows the vehicle
required pressure (see section “Wheels”
under “Technical data” chapter), switch
off the compressor moving on-off
button to0position. If after 5 minutes
from the compressor ignition, the
pressure gauge indicates a pressure
less than 1.8 bar / 26 psi, switch off thecompressor, disconnect the sealing
fluid tube from the tyre valve, re-screw
the valve cap and move the vehicle
about 10 meters to allow the
distribution of sealing fluid in the tyre.
Securely stop the vehicle and repeat
the operation above until reaching the
required pressure. If after other 5 min.
from the compressor ignition, the
pressure gauge still indicates a pressure
lower than 1.8 bar / 26 psi, the TYRE IS
TOO DAMAGED AND CANNOT BE
REPAIRED. Remove and place the kit in
the specific compartment and contact a
Fiat Dealership;
if the required pressure is reached,
restart driving. Do not exceed 80 km/h.
Avoid sudden acceleration or braking.
After driving for about 8 km / 5 miles,
place the vehicle in a safe and smooth
area, engaging the parking brake. Pick
up the kit, ensure the on-off button is in0position, insert the electrical
connector in the vehicle 12V socket.
Remove the cap from the valve of
repaired tyre, disconnect and pull out
the black inflation tube 1 fig. 127,
connect and block it with the stack to
the valve. Inspect the pressure gauge to
check the tyre pressure;
if the pressure indicated is lower than
1.8 bar / 26 psi, the TYRE IS TOO
DAMAGED AND CANNOT BE
REPAIRED. Remove and place the kit in
the specific compartment and contact a
Fiat Dealership;
if the pressure indicated is equal to or
higher than 1.8 bar / 26 psi, switch on
the compressor and reach the required
pressure. Disconnect and replace the
kit in the specific compartment.
Carefully drive and reach the Fiat
Dealership as soon as possible;

IN AN EMERGENCY

COLD TYRE INFLATION PRESSURE (bar)
When the tires are warm, the inflation pressure should be + 0.3 bar in relation to the recommended figure. However, recheck
that the value is correct with the tyre cold.
With snow tyres, add +0.2 bar to the pressure value prescribed for standard tyres.
If it is necessary to raise the vehicle, refer to the "Raising the vehicle" paragraph in the "In an emergency" chapter.
