slope or an uneven surface, place
chocks or other suitable items in
front of or behind the wheels to
stop the vehicle from moving.
•Never start or run the engine with
the vehicle on a jack.
•No person should place any portion
of their body under a vehicle that is
supported by a jack.
• Take the bag with compact spare
wheel and tools out of the trunk
compartment and remove it from the
bag.
• Remove from the compressor case
the inflation hose and the cable with
a plug for the power outlet.
• Unscrew the valve cap of the
compact spare wheel and screw the
fitting of the inflation hose onto the
valve.• Insert the plug in one of the
available power outlets fitted in the
trunk or passenger compartment.
• Turn the key in the ignition switch in
MAR (ON)position.
• Turn the compressor on by pressing
the switch.
• Stop the compressor pressing switch
again, when the pressure indicated
by the gage reaches the
recommended level (see “Tire
Inflation Pressure” in section
“Features and Specifications”) and
screw the cap on the compact spare
wheel valve.
CAUTION!
• In order to obtain a more accurate
reading, the compressor should be
switched off when checking the tirepressure of the compact spare wheel
on the pressure gage.
• Do not run the compressor for more
than 20 minutes: there is a risk it
could overheat. Also, prolonged
power absorption may discharge the
battery, subsequently preventing the
engine from starting.
• The compressor has been designed
exclusively to inflate compact spare
wheels; do not use it to inflate air
mattresses, dinghies etc.
• Fit the adapter on the wrench.
Extend the wrench as shown, then
loosen by approximately one turn,
the five bolts on the wheel to be
changed.
• Open the jack partially, releasing and
turning the control lever clockwise.

• Place the jack near the wheel to be
changed in one of the indicated
positions.
• Make sure that the head of the jack
is correctly inserted in one of the
slots beneath the sole bar.
WARNING!
•Never position yourself under a
jacked vehicle.
•The lifted vehicle may fall and
damage the vehicle's body if the
jack is not positioned correctly.
•Never use the jack to carry out
maintenance or repairs under the
vehicle.
• Turn the jack lever until the wheel is
raised a few centimeters off the
ground.
• Completely unscrew the five bolts
and remove the wheel. In case a
“Wheel Security Stud Bolt” is
installed, it can only be removed by
using the specific fitting wrench
provided with the “Wheel Security
Stud Bolt Kit”, available in the
Genuine Accessories range.
• Fit the compact spare wheel with the
valve stem facing outward, securing
it with the five bolts previously
removed.
• Turn the lever of the jack to lower
the vehicle and remove the jack.
• Fully tighten the bolts, alternately
tightening diametrically opposite

following the sequence shown in the
picture.
WARNING!
•Observe the tightening torque for
the bolts securing the wheels (72 ±
7 lbf·ft / 98 ± 10 Nm). This is
equivalent to a load of
approximately 44 lb (20 kg) being
placed on the handle of the wrench
supplied when extended for use.
•After refitting the standard wheel,
check the tire pressure.
WARNING!
•The spare wheel is narrower than
standard wheels and must only be
used to travel the distance required
to reach a service station, where thepunctured tire can be repaired or
replaced.
•Do not exceed a maximum speed of
50 mph (80 km/h) when using the
compact spare wheel; when this
limit is exceeded, the stability, road
holding and braking of the vehicle
will be compromised. Avoid
accelerating to full speed, heavy
braking and fast cornering.
•The compact spare wheel must be
inflated to the recommended tire
pressure (see “Tire Inflation
Pressure” in section “Features and
Specifications”).
•For safety reasons, it is absolutely
forbidden to drive with more than
one compact spare wheel fitted on
the vehicle.
•Snow chains cannot be fitted on the
compact spare wheel.
•The spare wheel can travel a
maximum of 1,800 mi (3.000 km).
NOTE:
The used wheel may soil the mats if it
is housed in the car: protect them if
possible.To Refit the Standard Wheel with
Repaired or Replaced Tire
• Following the procedure and the
caution described above, raise the
vehicle and remove the compact
spare wheel reusing the supplied
wrench with adapter, suitably
extended.
• Fit the standard wheel with repaired
or replaced tire.
• Tighten the original bolts on the
wheel.
• Lower the vehicle and remove the
jack.
• Fully tighten the bolts, alternately
tightening diametrically opposite.
WARNING!
•Observe the tightening torque for
the bolts securing the wheels (72 ±
