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.
125) 126) 127) 128)
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. 187: 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.
188: 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. 189 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;
use the wheel dismantling spanner B
to remove the wheel from the vehicle
fig. 190;
unscrew knob D fig. 191 and release
the rim from bracket E, removing it
from the hole of the rim;

IN AN EMERGENCY
for versions with alloy rims, remove
the press-fitted hub cap;
loosen the fixing bolts of the wheel
to be replaced by about one turn, using
the spanner provided;
remove wedge D from the tool bag
and open it as shown in fig. 192;
place the wedge D behind the wheel
diagonally opposite the one you want
to replace fig. 193 to prevent the
vehicle from moving when it is raised.
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. 194, then position it under
the vehicle in line with references A
fig. 195 near the wheel to be changed.
operate the jack with the knob to
open it until the groove A fig. 196 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. 197 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;
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. 198.
At the end of the operation
fix bracket A fig. 199 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;

IN AN EMERGENCY
for vehicles with alloy rims take the
adapter D fig. 200 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. 201 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.
202. 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;
reposition the tool bag behind the
left side seat (Cargo versions) or, resting
the bottom of the bag against the side
panel, in the compartment inside the
rear right side (Doblò/Doblò Combi
versions).
WARNING
125)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.

126)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.
127)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.
128)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.FIX&GO AUTOMATIC
