IN AN EMERGENCY

NOTE If replacing a wheel with alloy
rim, stove it temporarily into the spare
wheel compartment with the cosmetic
side facing upwards.
IMPORTANT NOTESTyres with unidirectional tread can be
recognised by arrows on the side of the
tyre which indicate the direction of
rotation. It is compulsory to comply with
this direction. Only in this way can the
tyres maintain their characteristics in
terms of grip, noise, resistance to wear
and drainage on wet surfaces.
If, after a puncture, it is necessary to
fit such a tyre the wrong way round, it
will be necessary to continue driving
with great care, since the tyre’s
performance is limited in these
conditions. This precaution must be
borne in mind above all when the road
surface is wet.
In order to benefit completely from
the unidirectional tread, it is advisable to
restore all wheels to the correct
direction of rotation as soon as
possible.
WARNING
135)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.
136)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.
137)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.138)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.
139)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.
137

140)A 16” spare wheel is provided with
17” and 18” 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.
