A punctured tyre or a burnt-out bulb?
At times, a problem may interfere with
our journey.
The pages on emergencies can help
you to deal with critical situations
independently and with calm.
In an emergency we recommend that
you call the freephone number found in

operate the jack handle 1
fig. 142 (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. 141;
turn the jack handle 1
fig. 142 (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. 144;
for versions with steel rim: make the
groove 1 fig. 145 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. 146 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. 136 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. 136;
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
134)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.
135)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.
136)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.137)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: we
advise you to contact a Fiat Dealership.
Never go under the raised vehicle: 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 car
only as needed in order to access the
spare wheel.
138)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.139)A 16” spare wheel is provided with
17" tyres. This spare wheel must be used
only in an emergency. Never use it for more
than strictly necessary and never exceed
80 km/h. On the wheel there is an orange
sticker, summarising the main warnings
regarding wheel usage restrictions. Never
remove or cover the label. The label
contains the following indications in four
languages: "Warning! For temporary use
only! 80 km/h max! Replace with standard
wheel as soon as possible. Never cover
this indication." Never apply a wheel cap
on the wheel. The driving characteristics of
the car will be modified with the wheel
fitted. Avoid violent acceleration and
braking, abrupt steering and fast cornering.
Have the wheel repaired and refitted as
soon as possible. Using two or more spare
wheels at the same time is forbidden. Do
not apply grease to the bolt threads before
fitting: they could come unscrewed.
IMPORTANT
52)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.
53)Contact a Fiat Dealership as soon as
possible to have the correct tightening of
the wheel bolts checked.

SERVICING AND CARE
Correct servicing permits the
performance of the vehicle to be
maintained over time, as well as limited
running costs and safeguarding the
efficiency of the safety systems.

SCHEDULED
SERVICING
Correct servicing is crucial for
guaranteeing a long life for the vehicle
under the best conditions.
For this reason, Fiat has planned a
series of checks and services at fixed
distance intervals and, for
versions/markets, where provided, at
fixed time intervals, as described in the
Scheduled Servicing Plan.
Regardless of the above, it is always
necessary to carefully follow the
instructions in the Scheduled Servicing
Plan (e.g. periodically check level of
liquids, tyre pressure, etc.).
Scheduled Servicing is offered by all
Fiat Dealerships according to fixed time
or kilometres/miles intervals. If, during
each operation, in addition to the ones
scheduled, the need arises for further
replacements or repairs, these may be
carried out with the owner's explicit
agreement only. If your vehicle is used
frequently for towing, the interval
between one service operation and the
next should be reduced.IMPORTANT NOTES
Scheduled Servicing interventions are
set out by the Manufacturer. Failure to
comply with the schedule may
invalidate the warranty.
It is advisable to inform a Fiat
Dealership of any small operating
irregularities without waiting for the next
service.
