JACKING AND TIRE
CHANGING
WARNING!
• Do not attempt to change a tire on the
side of the vehicle close to moving traf-
fic. Pull far enough off the road to avoid
the danger of being hit when operating
the jack or changing the wheel.
• Being under a jacked-up vehicle is dan-
gerous. The vehicle could slip off the
jack and fall on you. You could be
crushed. Never put any part of your body
under a vehicle that is on a jack. If you
need to get under a raised vehicle, take
it to a service center where it can be
raised on a lift.
• Never start or run the engine while the
vehicle is on a jack.
• The jack is designed to be used as a tool
for changing tires only. The jack should
not be used to lift the vehicle for service
purposes. The vehicle should be jacked
on a firm level surface only. Avoid ice or
slippery areas.
Jack Location/Spare Tire Stowage
If equipped, the jack and tools are located in
the rear storage compartment, below the
spare tire.1. Open the liftgate.
2. Lift the access cover using the load floor
handle.
3. Remove the fastener securing the spare
tire, and remove the spare wheel from the
vehicle. The jack and tools will be found
beneath.

occupants of the vehicle. Always stow the
jack parts and the spare tire in the places

paired or replaced immediately.
Preparations For Jacking
1. Park the vehicle on a firm level surface as
far from the edge of the roadway as pos-
sible. Avoid icy or slippery areas.
WARNING!
Do not attempt to change a tire on the side
of the vehicle close to moving traffic, pull
far enough off the road to avoid being hit
when operating the jack or changing the
wheel.
2. Turn on the Hazard Warning flasher.
3. Apply the parking brake.
4. Place the gear selector into PARK (auto-
matic transmission) or REVERSE (manual
transmission).
5. Turn the ignition off to the OFF position.Spare Tire FastenerJack And Tools

6. Block both the front and rear of the wheel
diagonally opposite the jacking position.
For example, if the right front wheel is
being changed, block the left rear wheel.
NOTE:
Passengers should not remain in the vehicle
when the vehicle is being jacked.Jacking Instructions
WARNING!
Carefully follow these tire changing warn-
ings to help prevent personal injury or
damage to your vehicle:
• Always park on a firm, level surface as
far from the edge of the roadway as
possible before raising the vehicle.
• Turn on the Hazard Warning flasher.
• Block the wheel diagonally opposite the
wheel to be raised.
• Apply the parking brake firmly and set
the transmission in PARK.
• Never start or run the engine with the
vehicle on a jack.
• Do not let anyone sit in the vehicle when
it is on a jack.
• Do not get under the vehicle when it is
on a jack. If you need to get under a
raised vehicle, take it to a service center
where it can be raised on a lift.
WARNING!
• Only use the jack in the positions indi-
cated and for lifting this vehicle during a
tire change.
• If working on or near a roadway, be
extremely careful of motor traffic.
• To assure that spare tires, flat or in-
flated, are securely stowed, spares must
be stowed with the valve stem facing the
ground.
• The jack should be used on level firm
ground wherever possible.
• It is recommended that the wheels of the
vehicle be chocked, and that no person
should be remain in a vehicle that is
being jacked.
• No person should place any portion of
their body under a vehicle that is sup-
ported by a jack.

CAUTION!
Do not attempt to raise the vehicle by
jacking on locations other than those indi-
cated in the Jacking Instructions for this
vehicle.
1. Remove the spare tire, jack, and wheel
bolt wrench.2. If equipped with aluminum wheels where
the center cap covers the wheel bolts, use
the wheel bolt wrench to pry the center
cap off carefully before raising the
vehicle.
3. Before raising the vehicle, use the wheel
bolt wrench to loosen, but not remove, the
wheel bolts on the wheel with the flat tire.
Turn the wheel bolts counterclockwise
one turn while the wheel is still on the
ground.
4. Place the jack underneath the lift area
that is closest to the flat tire. Turn the jack
screw clockwise to firmly engage the jack
saddle with the lift area of the sill flange,
centering the jack saddle inside the cut-
out in the sill cladding.
5. Raise the vehicle just enough to remove
the flat tire.

WARNING!
Raising the vehicle higher than necessary
can make the vehicle less stable. It could
slip off the jack and hurt someone near it.
Raise the vehicle only enough to remove
the tire.
6. Remove the wheel bolts and tire.
7. Remove the alignment pin from the jack
assembly and thread the pin into the
wheel hub to assist in mounting the spare
tire.
8. Mount the spare tire.
CAUTION!
Be sure to mount the spare tire with the
valve stem facing outward. The vehicle
could be damaged if the spare tire is
mounted incorrectly.NOTE:
• For vehicles equipped, do not attempt
to install a center cap or wheel cover on
the compact spare.
• Refer to “Compact Spare Tire” and to
“Limited-Use Spare” under “Tires—
General Information” in “Servicing And
Maintenance” in the Owner's Manual
for additional warnings, cautions, and
information about the spare tire, its
use, and operation.

To avoid the risk of forcing the vehicle off
the jack, do not tighten the wheel nuts
fully until the vehicle has been lowered.
Failure to follow this warning may result in
serious injury.
10. Lower the vehicle to the ground by turn-
ing the jack handle counterclockwise.
11. Finish tightening the wheel bolts. Push
down on the wrench while at the end ofthe handle for increased leverage.
Tighten the wheel bolts in a star pattern
until each wheel bolt has been tightened
twice. Refer to “Wheel And Tire Torque
Specifications” in “Technical Specifica-
tions” for the proper lug bolt torque. If in
doubt about the correct tightness, have
them checked with a torque wrench by
your authorized dealer or at a service
station.
12. Place the jack on the foam tray and open
it far enough so that it is secured. Once
placed in position, rotate it clockwise to
lock it in. Replace the alignment pin in
the center hole to lock the jack in place.
WARNING!
A loose tire or jack thrown forward in a
collision or hard stop could endanger the
occupants of the vehicle. Always stow the
jack parts and the spare tire in the places
provided. Have the deflated (flat) tire re-
paired or replaced immediately.

the jack, do not tighten the wheel bolts
fully until the vehicle has been lowered.
Failure to follow this warning may result in
serious injury.
3. Lower the vehicle to the ground by turning
the jack handle counterclockwise.
4. Finish tightening the wheel bolts. Push
down on the wrench while at the end of
the handle for increased leverage. Tighten
the wheel bolts in a star pattern until each
wheel bolt has been tightened twice. Re-
fer to “Wheel And Tire Torque Specifica-
tions” in “Technical Specifications” for
the proper lug bolt torque. If in doubt
about the correct tightness, have them
checked with a torque wrench by your
authorized dealer or service station.5. Lower the jack until it is free. Remove the
wheel blocks. Reassemble the lug wrench
to the jack assembly and stow it in the
spare tire area. Secure the assembly using
the means provided. Release the parking

NOTE:
This declaration becomes invalid, if technical
or operational modifications are introduced
without the manufacture’s consent. Follow
operational manual and instructions for use.Jack Usage Precautions
To complete the Use and Maintenance Hand-
book to which this supplement is attached,
given below are some instructions on the
proper use of the jack.
WARNING!
When using the crank, make sure it turns
freely without the risk of scraping hands
against the ground.
Even the moving parts of the jack, the
“worm screw” and joints can cause inju-
ries: avoid contact with them. Clean it
thoroughly if dirtied with grease.
CAUTION!
The jack is a tool designed exclusively for
changing a wheel, in case of a puncture or
damage to a tire of the vehicle on which it
is fitted or on vehicles of the same model.
Any other use, e.g. to jack up other vehicle
models or different things, is strictly pro-
hibited. Never use it to carry out mainte-
nance or repairs under the vehicle or to
CAUTION!
change summer/winter wheels and vice
versa. Never go under the raised vehicle. If
any work under the vehicle is necessary,
contact the Fiat Service Network. Incor-
rect placing of the jack can cause the
vehicle to drop: use it only in the positions
indicated. Do not use the jack for loads
higher than that specified on the label.
Never start the engine with vehicle raised.
If the vehicle is raised more than neces-
sary, everything can become more un-
stable, with the risk of the vehicle drop-
ping violently. Therefore raise the vehicle
only as much as necessary for the wheel/
spare.
Maintenance
• Make sure grime does not build up on the
“worm screw.”
• Keep the “worm screw” lubricated.
• Never modify the jack.
