CHANGING A WHEEL
GENERAL
INSTRUCTIONS
Wheel replacement and correct use of
the jack and spare wheel (for
versions/markets, where provided) call
for some precautions, which are listed
below.
145) 146) 147) 148) 149)
Please note that:
the jack weight is 4.5 kg;
the jack requires no adjustment;
the jack cannot be repaired: 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.
150)
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 must be flat and sufficiently
compact;
switch off the engine and pull the
handbrake;
engage first gear or reverse;
put on 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.);
In the event of a wheel change on a
slope or on unsurfaced roads, put
any object as stop under the wheels;
take the tool bag from under the
passenger seat (see "Compartment
under the front passenger side seat" in
the "Internal equipment" chapter in
"Knowing the vehicle").
The container includes these tools:
A - tow hook
B - rod for spanner
C - bolt spanner
D - jack
E - extension for spanner
F - screwdriver gripG - screwdriver bit
if the tool container is not provided,
for special trim versions, a bag
containing the above tools may be
provided;
for versions with alloy rims, remove
the press-fitted hub cap;
take the extension for spanner, the
bolt spanner and the rod for spanner
from the tool container;
with the tools assembled correctly,
loosen the fixing bolts for the wheel
to be changed by one turn;
turn the ring nut to partly extend the
jack;

the spare wheel lifting device has been
unrolled, grip the bell and position it
inside the circular bracket fig. 167;
tighten the knob onto the screw to
secure the bracket fig. 168.

insert the assembled tool fig. 162
equipped with the dedicated extension
B fig. 161 onto the screw A fig. 161
of the operating device on the spare
wheel compartment and turn it
clockwise to allow the spare wheel to
raise, until it rests fully against the
sub-platform, making sure that the the
locking mark D fig. 164 has appeared in
the window on the device.
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;)
place the removal tools back in the
tool bag / compartment;
place the tool box / compartment in
its housing under the passenger seat.

SCHEDULED
SERVICING
Correct servicing is crucial for
guaranteeing a long life for the vehicle
under the best conditions.
This is why Fiat has planned a series of
checks and maintenance operations
every 48,000 km depending on the
engine version.
It is, however, important to remember
that scheduled servicing does not
completely cover all the requirements of
the car: even in the initial period before
48,000 km, and then subsequently
between one service and another,
ordinary care is always required such as
routine checks involving topping up
fluid level, checking tyre pressures etc.
IMPORTANT Scheduled Servicing
interventions are set out by the
Manufacturer. Failure to have them
carried out may invalidate the warranty.
Scheduled Servicing can be carried
out by any Fiat Dealership, at
pre-established times.
If during each operation, in addition to
the ones scheduled, the need arises for
further replacements or repairs, these
may only be carried out with the
express agreement of the Customer.IMPORTANT It is advisable to inform a
Fiat Dealership of any small operating
irregularities without waiting for the next
service.
If your vehicle is used frequently for
towing, the interval between service
coupons must be reduced.
The customer can have servicing done
outside the authorised Fiat Dealership
without losing the warranty in force. The
warranty depends on carrying out the
scheduled servicing constantly, as
described in this Owner Handbook. The
customer can choose to have the
above mentioned servicing, and any
other repairs covered by the warranty,
carried out by any workshop (within
or outside the Fiat Dealership), as long
as it has suitable means and follows the
instructions described in this Owner
Handbook.
PERIODIC CHECKS
Before long journeys, check and, if
necessary, restore:
engine coolant level;
brake fluid level;
control and recovery of additive level
for AdBlue Diesel emissions (UREA)
(for versions/markets, where provided);
windscreen washer fluid level;
tyre inflation pressure and condition;
operation of lighting system
(headlamps, direction indicators, hazard
warning lights, etc.);
operation of screen washer/wiper
system and positioning/wear of
windscreen/rear window wiper blades.
To ensure that the vehicle is always
efficient and well maintained, it is
advisable to make sure that you carry
out the above operations regularly
(approximately every 1000 km and
every 3000 km for checking and
topping up engine oil is advisable).

WARNING
6)Detergents pollute the water. The
vehicle should be washed in areas
equipped for collecting and purifying the
liquid used in the washing process.
INTERIOR
Regularly check that water is not
trapped under the mats (due to water
dripping off shoes, umbrellas, etc.),
as this could cause oxidation of the
sheet metal.

SEATS AND FABRIC
PARTS
Remove dust with a soft brush or a
vacuum cleaner. It is advisable to use a
moist brush on velvet upholstery.
Rub the seats with a sponge moistened
with a solution of water and neutral
detergent.
PLASTIC PARTS
It is advisable to clean interior plastic
parts with a moist cloth and a solution
of water and non-abrasive mild soap.
Use specific products for cleaning
plastic, without solvents and specifically
designed to prevent damage to the
appearance and colour of the treated
parts, to remove grease and tough
stains.
IMPORTANT Do not use alcohol,
petrols or derivatives to clean
the instrument panel glass.LEATHER STEERING
WHEEL/GEAR LEVER
KNOB/HANDBRAKE
(for versions/markets, where provided)
These components must be cleaned
with mild soap and water only. Never
use alcohol or alcohol-based products.
WARNING
201)Never use flammable products, such
as petroleum ether or modified petrol, to
clean the inside of the car. The
electrostatic charges which are generated
by rubbing during the cleaning operation
may cause a fire.
202)Do not keep aerosol cans in the
vehicle: they might explode. Aerosol cans
must not be exposed to a temperature
exceeding 50°C. When the vehicle is
exposed to sunlight, the internal
temperature can greatly exceed this value.
