correctly reposition the luggage

compartment mat.
NOTE If replacing a wheel with alloy

rim, stove it temporarily into the spare

wheel compartment with the cosmetic

side facing upwards.

WARNINGS

Tyres with unidirectional tread can

be recognised by arrows on the side

of the tyre which indicate the direction

of rotation. It is compulsory to comply

with this direction. Only in this way can

the tyres maintain their characteristics

in terms of grip, noise, resistance to

wear and drainage on wet surfaces.

If, after a puncture, it is necessary

to fit such a tyre the wrong way

round, it will be necessary to continue

driving with great care, since the

tyre’s performance is limited in these

conditions. This precaution must be

borne in mind above all when the road

surface is wet.

In order to benefit completely

from the unidirectional tread, it is

advisable to restore all wheels to the

correct direction of rotation as soon as

possible.

WARNING

150)

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.

151)

It is extremely dangerous to attempt

to change a wheel on the side of the car

next to the driving lane: make sure that

the car is at a sufficient distance from the

road, to avoid being run over.

152)

Indicate the presence of the

stationary car in accordance with current

regulations: hazard warning lights, warning

triangle, etc. Those on board should get

out of the car, especially if it is heavily

laden, and wait for the wheel to be

replaced away from the threat posed by

the traffic.

153)

The jack is a tool developed and

designed only for changing a wheel, if a

tyre gets punctured or damaged, on

the car with which it is supplied or on

other cars of the same model. It must

not be used, for example, to jack other

vehicle models or objects. Never use it

to carry out servicing or repairs under

the vehicle or to change summer/winter

wheels and vice versa: we advise you

to contact a Fiat Dealership. Never go

under the raised vehicle: use it only in

the positions indicated. Do not use the

jack for loads higher than the one shown

on its label. Never start the engine with

vehicle raised. If the vehicle is raised more

than necessary, everything can become

more unstable, with the risk of the vehicle

dropping violently. Thus, lift the car only

as needed in order to access the spare

wheel.

154)

Never tamper with the inflation valve.

Never introduce tools of any kind between

the rim and the tyre. Check tyre and

space-saver wheel pressures regularly,

complying with the values given in the

"Technical specifications" chapter.

155)

A 16” spare wheel is provided with

17" tyres. The spare wheel must only be

used in an emergency. Never use it for

more than strictly necessary and never

exceed 80 km/h. Important! For temporary

use only! 80km/h max! Replace with

standard wheel as soon as possible. Never

remove or cover the sticker on the spare

wheel. Never apply a hub cap to the spare

wheel. The driving characteristics of the

vehicle will be modified with the spare

wheel fitted. Avoid violent acceleration

and braking, abrupt steering and fast

cornering. Have the wheel repaired and

refitted as soon as possible. Using two or

more spare wheels at the same time is

forbidden. Do not apply grease to the bolt

threads before fitting: they could come

unscrewed.

62)

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.

163

63)

Contact a Fiat Dealership as soon as

possible to have the correct tightening of

the wheel bolts checked.

position).

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

car. 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.
