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

once the key has been removed, refit
lower upholstery C fig. 162, make sure
it locks correctly and tighten the fixing
screws B firmly.
IMPORTANT
79)It is advisable to contact a Fiat
Dealership to have the refitting procedure
carried out. If you would like to proceed
autonomously, special attention must be
paid to the correct coupling of the retaining
clips. Otherwise, noise might be heard due
to an incorrect fastening of the lower cover
with the upper cover.

WARNING
163)For versions with key without remote
control, before towing, turn the ignition key
to MAR and then to STOP without
removing it. The steering column will
automatically lock when the key is removed
and the wheels cannot be steered. Also
check that the gearbox is in neutral (on
versions equipped with automatic
transmission, check that the gear lever is in
N position). For versions with electronic
key, move the ignition device to MAR and
then to STOP, without opening the door.164)The brake servo and the
electromechanical power steering will not
work while the vehicle is being towed. You
will therefore need to apply more force on
the brake pedal and steering wheel. Do not
use flexible ropes when towing, and avoid
jerky movements. While towing, make sure
that the trailer hitch does not damage any
components it is touching. When towing
the car, you must comply with all specific
traffic regulations and adopt an appropriate
driving behaviour. Do not start the engine
while towing the vehicle. Before tightening
the ring, clean the threaded housing
thoroughly. Make sure that the ring is fully
screwed into the housing before towing the
car.
165)The front and rear tow hooks should
be used only for emergencies on the road.
You are allowed to tow the vehicle for short
distances using an appropriate device in
accordance with the highway code (a rigid
bar), to move the vehicle on the road in
readiness for towing or transport via a
breakdown vehicle. Tow hooks MUST NOT
be used to tow vehicles off the road or
where there are obstacles and/or for
towing operations using cables or other
non-rigid devices. In compliance with the
above conditions, towing must take place
with the two vehicles (one towing, the other
towed) aligned as much as possible along
the same centre line.

SCHEDULED
SERVICING
Correct servicing is crucial for
guaranteeing a long life for the car
under the best conditions.
For this reason, Fiat has planned a
series of checks and services at fixed
distance and/or time intervals, as
described in the Service Schedule.
To keep the car’s efficiency in tip-top
condition, in the following Scheduled
Service plan pages a few additional
checks are listed that should be carried
out more frequently with respect to the
normal coupon redemption schedule.
Scheduled Servicing is offered by all
Fiat Dealerships according to fixed time
or kilometres/miles intervals. If, during
each operation, in addition to the ones
scheduled, the need arises for further
replacements or repairs, these may be
carried out with the owner's explicit
agreement only. If your car is used
frequently for towing, the interval
between one scheduled servicing
operation and the next should be
reduced.
IMPORTANT Scheduled Servicing
interventions are set out by the
Manufacturer. Failure to comply with the
schedule may invalidate the warranty.We advise sharing any doubts
regarding the car’s proper operation
with your Fiat Dealership, before waiting
for the next coupon redemption.
