raised a few centimetres above the
ground.
loosen the bolts completely and
remove the punctured wheel;
make sure the contact surfaces
between spare or space-saver wheel
(for TIPO 5DOOR version) and hub are
clean so that the fastening bolts will not
come loose;

IMPORTANT
64)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.
65)Contact a Fiat Dealership as soon as
possible to have the correct tightening of
the wheel bolts checked.

152)Observe the following instructions if
the car is equipped with a spare wheel
smaller than the normal size (a 16” spare
wheel is provided with 17" and 18" tyres)
or a space-saver spare wheel. 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 spare wheel or spare
wheel must be used only in an emergency.
Never use it for more than strictly
necessary and never exceed 80 km/h.
There is an orange sticker on the
space-saver spare wheel which
summarises 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 hub cup on a space-saver
spare wheel or spare wheel. The driving
characteristics of the car will be modified
with the space-saver spare wheel or spare
wheel fitted. Avoid violent acceleration and
braking, abrupt steering and fast cornering.
The overall duration of the space-saver
wheel is about 3000 km, after which the
relevant tyre must be replaced with another
one of the same type. Never install a
traditional tyre on a rim designed to be
used as a space-saver wheel. Have the
wheel repaired and refitted as soon as
possible. Using two or more space-saver
spare wheels or spare wheels at the same
time is forbidden. Do not apply grease to
the bolt threads before fitting: they could
come unscrewed.
