REFUELLING THE
VEHICLE
133) 134) 135)
PETROL ENGINES
Only use unleaded petrol with a number
of octanes (R.O.N.) not lower than 95
(EN 228 specification).
DIESEL ENGINES
64)
Only use Diesel for motor vehicles (EN
590 specification).
When using or parking the vehicle for a
long time in the mountains or cold
areas, it is advisable to refuel using
locally available diesel. In this case, it is
also advisable to keep the tank over
50% full.
REFUELLING
PROCEDURE
"Capless Fuel" is a device at the
opening for the fuel tank which opens
and recloses automatically when the
fuel supply gun is introduced/removed.
The "Capless Fuel" device is provided
with an inhibitor which prevents
refuelling with incorrect fuel.
Opening the flap
To refuel proceed as follows:
unlock flap A fig. 110 by pressing onthe specified point and then open it;
introduce the dispenser in the filler
and refuel;
at the end of refuelling, before
removing the dispenser, wait for at least
10 seconds in order for the fuel to flow
inside the tank;
then remove the dispenser from the
filler and close flap A.
The flap is provided with a dust cover
gaiter B which prevents deposits of
impurities and dust at the end of the
filler when the flap is closed.
Emergency refuelling
Proceed as follows:
open the boot and take adaptor C
fig. 111, located in the tool box or in the
Fix&Go kit container (according to the
versions);
open flap A fig. 110, as described
previously;
introduce the adaptor in the filler as
shown and refuel;
after refuelling, remove the adaptor
and close the flap;
finally refit the adaptor in the boot.
WARNING
133)Do not apply any object/plug to the
end of the filler which is not provided for
the car. The use of non-compliant
objects/plugs could cause a pressure
increase inside the tank, resulting in
dangerous situations.
134)Do not bring naked flames or lit
cigarettes near to the fuel filler: fire risk.
Keep your face away from the fuel filler to
prevent breathing in harmful vapours.
135)Do not use a mobile phone near the
refuelling pump: risk of fire.

that all devices are switched off and/or
disconnected.
IMPORTANT

CHANGING A WHEEL
JACK
150) 151)
Please note that:
the jack weight is 2.8 kg;
the jack requires no adjustment;
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.
Maintenance
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 car;
on boats.
CHANGING PROCEDURE
143) 144) 145) 146) 147) 148) 149)
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, engage the hazard
warning lights and the electric parking
brake;
engage first gear or reverse or, for
versions with automatic transmission,
move the lever to position P (Park);
wear the reflective safety jacket
(compulsory by law in certain countries)
before getting out of the vehicle;
open the boot and position the
reconfigurable load platform in an
inclined position (see "Boot" in the
"Knowing your vehicle" chapter);
take the tool bag provided, which is
secured to the luggage compartment
cover with specific fastenings. This bag
contains fig. 128: jack A; screwdriver B;
adaptor C for refuelling in the event of
an emergency; pin D for centring the
wheel (where provided, to be used in
the spare wheel fitting procedure);
special anti-theft nut E (where provided,
to be used in the wheel stud bolt
fitting/removal procedure); wedge F
wheels and the vehicle;
155
(where provided) for blocking the

into the sidemember C of the vehicle,
next to the symbol
on the
sidemember itself;
alert any bystander that the vehicle is
about to be raised; all persons should
be kept away from the vehicle and
nobody must touch it until it has been
lowered;
use the key A to operate the jack
(clockwise) and lift the vehicle until the
wheel is several centimetres off the
ground;
use the key A to undo the stud bolts
completely and remove the punctured
tyre;
make sure the contact surfaces
between space-saver wheel and hub
are clean and free from impurities so
that the fixing stud bolts will not come
loose;
in order to facilitate fitting of the
space-saver wheel, tighten the centringpin in the higher hole of the wheel hub,
then fit the space-saver wheel,
screwing in the first stud bolt by hand
for at least two threads;
remove the centring pin and screw
in the other stud bolts by hand;
tighten all the retaining stud bolts
using the key A;
operate the key A (anticlockwise) on
the hexagonal part of the jack, in order
to lower the vehicle, then extract it;
use the key A to fully tighten the stud
bolts in a criss-cross fashion as per the
numerical sequence shown in fig. 134;
place the punctured tyre in the boot
upside down (with the outer part facing
upwards), then reposition the jack and
the used tools;
reposition the boot mat then
reposition the reconfigurable load
platform in a flat position (see "Boot" in
the "Knowing your vehicle" chapter).Restore the standard wheel as soon as
possible, because, once placed in the
associated compartment, the boot load
platform is rendered uneven as the
standard wheel is larger than the
space-saver wheel.
CHANGING A WHEEL
(versions with
subwoofer)
Versions with space-saver wheel
On these versions, the tools for
replacing the wheel are located in a
dedicated bag in the luggage
compartment.
In the case of a puncture, proceed as
follows:
open the luggage compartment and
then lift up the mat;
unscrew the locking device A
fig. 135, remove the space-saver spare
wheel B and fit it in place of the
punctured tyre, carrying out the
procedures described previously.

134F1B0225C
157

When the operation is completed, lower
the luggage compartment mat and
position the punctured tyre on top of it,
ensuring that it is locked correctly so
that it doesn’t move during driving.
Versions with “Fix&Go Automatic”
kit
To find the “Fix&Go Automatic” kit,
open the luggage compartment then lift
up the mat: the kit A fig. 136 is located
on the right-hand side.
WARNING
143)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.
144)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.
145)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.146)The vehicle's driving characteristics
will be modified with the space-saver wheel
fitted. Avoid violent acceleration and
braking, abrupt steering and fast cornering.
The overall duration of the space-saver
wheel is about 3000 km, after which the
relevant tyre must be replaced with another
one of the same type. Never install a
standard tyre on a rim that is designed for
use with a space-saver wheel. Have the
wheel repaired and refitted as soon as
possible. Using two or more space-saver
wheels at the same time is forbidden. Do
not grease the threads of the stud bolts
before fitting them: they might slip out
when driving!
147)The space-saver wheel is specific to
your vehicle: do not use it on other models,
or use the space-saver wheel of other
models on your vehicle. The space-saver
wheel must only be used in the event of an
emergency. Never use it for more than
strictly necessary and never exceed
80 km/h. On the space-saver wheel there
is an orange label, summarising the main
warnings regarding space-saver wheel
usage restrictions. Never remove or cover
the sticker.
