curtain (which must be positioned
in front of second row of seats) then

compartment, positioning it as shown
in fig. 129 (wheel hub facing the inside
of the passenger compartment in
order to prevent the wheel from falling
when closing the tailgate).
REFITTING THE
STANDARD WHEEL

make sure the contact surfaces
between standard wheel and hub are
clean and free from impurities so that
the fixing stud bolts will not come
loose;
fit the standard wheel inserting the 5
stud bolts into the holes;
press-fit the wheel cap, aligning the
special splining (on the cap) with the
inflation valve;
using the spanner provided, tighten
the fixing stud bolts;
lower the car and remove the jack;
using the spanner provided, fully
tighten the stud bolts in the sequence
shown previously.
Versions with alloy rims
insert the wheel on the hub and
using the spanner provided tighten the
stud bolts;
lower the car and remove the jack;
using the spanner provided, fully
tighten the 5 stud bolts in the sequence
shown;
reinstall the hub cap, taking care to
position the three plastic pins in the
dedicated seats on the wheel. Slightly
press the cap to prevent any damage
to the plastic pins.
IMPORTANT If it is not fitted correctly,
the hub cap may detach when the
vehicle is running.
At the end of the operation
Proceed as follows:
stow the space-saver wheel in the
compartment provided in the boot;
place the jack and the other tools in
their container;
arrange the container and tools on
the space-saver wheel;

WARNING
122)The space-saver wheel (for
versions/markets where provided) is
specific to your car, do not use it on other
models, or use the space-saver wheel
of other models on your car. 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 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 a space-saver wheel.
123)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.

WARNING
63)The sealant is effective with external
temperatures of between -40°C and
+55°C. The sealant has an expiry date. It is
possible to repair tyres which have been
damaged on tread up to a diameter of
6 mm. Show the cartridge and the label to

REPLACING A BULB
132) 133)64) 65)
GENERAL
INSTRUCTIONS
Before replacing a bulb check the
contacts for oxidation.
Burnt bulbs must be replaced by
others of the same type and power.
After replacing a headlight bulb,
always check that alignment of the light
beam is correct.
when a light is not working, check
that the corresponding fuse is intact
before replacing a bulb. For the location
of fuses, refer to the paragraph
"Replacing fuses" in this chapter.IMPORTANT When the weather is cold
or damp or after heavy rain or washing,
the surface of headlights or rear lights
may steam up and/or form drops of
condensation on the inside. This is
a natural phenomenon due to the
difference in temperature and humidity
between the inside and the outside
of the glass which does not indicate a
fault and does not compromise the
normal operation of lighting devices.
The mist disappears quickly when the
lights are turned on, starting from
the centre of the diffuser, extending
progressively towards the edges.
