IN AN EMERGENCY

WARNING
143)If the replaced fuse blows again,
contact a Fiat Dealership.
144)Never replace a fuse with another
with a higher amp rating; DANGER OF
FIRE
145)If a fuse NOT indicated in this or the
previous page is used, contact a Fiat
Dealership.
146)Before replacing a fuse, make sure
that the ignition device is at STOP, that the
key, if mechanical, has been removed and
that all devices are switched off and/or
disconnected.
IMPORTANT
73)Never replace a fuse with metal wires
or anything else.
74)If it is necessary to wash the engine

the fuse box and the window wiper motor
with the water jet.
CHANGING A WHEEL
JACK
154) 155)
Please note that:
the jack weight is 2.8 kg;
the jack requires no adjustment;
the jack cannot be repaired and in
the event of a fault it must be replaced
by another genuine one;
no tool other than its cranking device
may be fitted on the jack.
Maintenance
prevent any dirt from depositing on
the "worm screw";
keep the "worm screw" lubricated;
never modify the jack.
Conditions for non-use
temperatures below −40°C;
on sandy or muddy ground;
on uneven ground;
on steep roads;
in extreme weather conditions:
thunderstorms, typhoons, hurricanes,
blizzards, storms, etc...
in direct contact with the engine or
for repairs under the car;
on boats.
CHANGING PROCEDURE
147) 148) 149) 150) 151) 152) 153)
Proceed as follows:
stop the car in a position that is not
dangerous for oncoming traffic where
you can change the wheel safely. The
ground must be flat and sufficiently
compact;
stop the engine, engage the hazard
warning lights and the electric parking
brake;
engage first gear or reverse or, for
versions with automatic transmission,
move the lever to position P (Park);
wear the reflective safety jacket
(compulsory by law) before getting out
of the car;
open the luggage compartment and
set the adjustable load platform in the
diagonal position (see "Luggage
Compartment" section of the "Getting
to know your car" chapter);
take out the tool bag supplied,
anchored to the boot mat by special
fasteners. The bag contains fig. 136:
jack A; screwdriver B; adaptor C for
refuelling in the event of an emergency;
pin D for centring the wheel (where
provided, to be used in the spare wheel
fitting procedure); special anti-theft nut
E (where provided, to be used in the
wheel stud bolt fitting/removal
procedure); chock F for blocking the
163

wheels and the vehicle; tow hook G;
key H for the wheel stud bolts and the
jack; Allen key I for emergency
operation of the sun roof (where
provided);
lift up the mat A fig. 137 and take out
the space-saver spare wheel B;
position the spare wheel and tool
bag next to the wheel for changing;
take the chock A (where provided)
fig. 138 and fold it out as shown in the
diagram;
place the chock A on the wheel
diagonally opposite the one to be
replaced (see fig. 139 ) to prevent the
car from moving irregularly when it is
lifted from the ground;
using the spanner A fig. 140, loosen
the fixing stud bolts by about one turn.
For versions with alloy rims it is a good
idea to "shake" the car to facilitate
detachment of the rim from the wheel
hub.
position the jack under the car, near
the wheel to be changed;

IN AN EMERGENCY

insert the wrench A fig. 141 on the
hexagonal part of the jack B to extend it
until the top splined area fits correctly
into the side member C of the car, next
to the
symbol on the side member
itself;
alert any bystander that the car is
about to be raised; all persons should
be kept away from the car and nobody
must touch it until it has been lowered;
use the wrench A to turn the jack
(clockwise) and raise the car until the
wheel is a few centimetres off the
ground;
with the wrench A, completely
unscrew the stud bolts and remove the
wheel with the puncture;
make sure the contact surfaces
between space-saver wheel and hub
are clean so that the mounting stud
bolts will not come loose;
to simplify fitting of the space-saver
spare wheel, screw the centring pin into
the highest hole in the wheel hub then
fit the wheel, screwing on the first stud
bolt by hand for at least two turns of
the thread;
remove the centring pin and screw
on the other stud bolts by hand;
using the wrench A, screw down all
the stud bolts.
turn the wrench A (anticlockwise) on
the hexagonal part of the jack to lower
the car, then extract the jack;
use the wrench A to fully tighten all
the stud bolts, working in a criss-cross
fashion as per the numerical sequence
illustrated in fig. 142;
replace the mat in the luggage
compartment, then return the
adjustable load platform to the level
position (see "Luggage Compartment"
section of the "Getting to know your
car" chapter);
Restore the standard wheel as soon as
possible, also because, since it is larger
than the space-saver spare wheel,
when it is placed in the relative
compartment the floor of the luggage
compartment becomes slightly uneven.
CHANGING A WHEEL
(versions with
subwoofer)
Versions with space-saver wheel
On these versions, the tools for
replacing the wheel are located in a
dedicated bag in the luggage
compartment.
In the case of a puncture, proceed as
follows:
open the luggage compartment and
then lift up the mat;
unscrew the locking device A
fig. 143, remove the space-saver spare
wheel B and fit it in place of the
punctured tyre, carrying out the
procedures described previously.
141F1B0224C
142F1B0225C
165
ˆ place the punctured wheel in the
boot safely, restoring the correct
fastening, and then correctly reposition
the jack and the tools used.

Versions with “Fix&Go Automatic”
kit
To find the “Fix&Go Automatic” kit,
open the luggage compartment then lift
up the mat: the kit A fig. 144 is located
on the right-hand side.WARNING
147)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.
148)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.
149)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.150)The vehicle's driving characteristics
will be modified with the space-saver 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
standard tyre on a rim that is designed for
use with a space-saver wheel. Have the
wheel repaired and refitted as soon as
possible. Using two or more space-saver
wheels at the same time is forbidden. Do
not grease the threads of the stud bolts
before fitting them: they might slip out
when driving!
151)The space-saver wheel (where
provided) is specific to your vehicle: do not
use it on other models, or use the
space-saver wheel of other models on your
vehicle. 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.
“Important! For temporary use only!
80 km/h max!”. Replace with standard
wheel as soon as possible. Never remove
or cover the sticker on the space-saver
wheel. Never apply a wheel cap on a
space-saver wheel. The vehicle's driving
characteristics will be modified with the
space-saver wheel fitted. Avoid violent
acceleration and braking, abrupt steering
and fast cornering.
