GENERAL

INSTRUCTIONS

Before replacing a bulb check the

contacts for oxidation;

burnt bulbs must be replaced by

others of the same type and power;

always check the headlight beam

direction after changing a bulb;

when a light is not working, check

that the corresponding fuse is intact

before replacing a bulb. For the

location of fuses, refer to the paragraph

"Replacing fuses" in this chapter.

WARNING When the weather is cold or

damp or after heavy rain or washing,

the surface of headlights or rear lights

may steam up and/or form drops of

condensation on the inside. This

is a natural phenomenon due to the

difference in temperature and humidity

between the inside and the outside

of the glass which does not indicate

a fault and does not compromise the

normal operation of lighting devices.

The mist disappears quickly when

the lights are turned on, starting from

the centre of the diffuser, extending

progressively towards the edges

136)

Modifications or repairs to the electric

system that are not carried out properly

or do not take the system technical

specifications into account can cause

malfunctions leading to the risk of fire.

137)

Halogen bulbs contain pressurised

gas, in the case of breakage they may

burst causing glass fragments to be

projected outwards.

138)

Only replace the light bulbs when the

engine is off and in a position that does

not interfere with traffic and lets you safely

replace them (see the description in the

"Replacement” paragraph). Also ensure

that the engine is cold, to prevent the risk

of burns.

139)

Before replacing the bulb, wait for the

exhaust ducts to cool down: DANGER OF

SCALDING!

140)

Due to the high power supply

voltage, gas discharge bulbs (Xenon)

should only be replaced by specialised

technicians: danger of death! Contact a

Fiat Dealership.

36)

Halogen bulbs must be handled

holding the metallic part only. Touching

the transparent part of the bulb with your

fingers may reduce the intensity of the

emitted light and even reduce the lifespan

of the bulb. In the event of accidental

contact, wipe the bulb with a cloth

moistened with alcohol and let the bulb

dry.

37)

Where possible, it is advisable to have

bulbs changed at a Fiat Dealership. The

correct operation and direction of the

external lights are absolutely essential for

the safety of the car and of compliance

with the law.

38)

The intervention must be carried out

taking all precautions necessary to avoid

damaging the bodywork (please use a

sufficiently rigid and appropriately thick

put on the reflective safety jacket

before getting out of the car (if required

by the regulations in force). In any case,

follow the road safety laws in force in

the country where you are driving;

raise the mat on the floor of the

luggage compartment;

unscrew the locking device (B)

fig. 117;

take out the toolbox (C) fig. 117

and bring it next to the wheel to be

replaced;

take the space saver spare wheel (D)

fig. 117;

117

F0S0127

for vehicles with wheel cap: use the

screwdriver provided, applying leverage

to the dedicated opening on the outer

edge;

for cars equipped with 15” steel

wheels with aesthetic hub caps: take

the extractor (A) fig. 118 from the

Owner Handbook compartment;

156)

117

118

F0S0671

hold the extractor with two fingers,

insert the tab between the tyre and

hub cap (B) fig. 119 and pull towards

yourself, perpendicularly to the wheel;

119

F0S0670

for cars fitted with alloy wheels:

remove the press-fitted hub cap using

the screwdriver provided;

loosen the retaining bolts for the

wheel to be changed by about one turn

using the spanner provided;

if the car is equipped with side skirts,

to let the jack pass under the car,

the latter must be tilted (as shown in

fig. 120);

120

F0S0328

40)

turn the jack handle to partially open

it;

position the jack near the wheel to be

repaired at the reference point

on

the side member;

Lifting the front wheel: fig. 121;

Lifting the rear wheel: fig. 122.

121

F0S0630

122

F0S0631

make sure that the jack fig. 123 is

positioned correctly;

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;

123

F0S0653

fit the handle to operate the jack and

raise the car until the wheel is a few

centimetres above the ground. When

turning the jack handle, make sure that

it can turn freely without scraping your

hand against the ground. The moving

IN AN EMERGENCY

118

components of the jack (screws and

joints) can also cause injuries: avoid

touching them. If you come into

contact with lubricating grease, clean

yourself thoroughly;

loosen the bolts completely and

remove the wheel to be replaced;

make sure the contact surfaces

between space-saver wheel and hub

are clean so that the fastening bolts will

not come loose;

fit the space-saver wheel aligning the

pin with one of the holes on the wheel;

screw in the 4 fastening bolts;

turn the jack handle to lower the car

and remove the jack;

fasten the bolts completely, passing

alternately from one bolt to the

opposite one.

REFITTING THE

STANDARD WHEEL

41)

Following the procedure described

previously, raise the car and remove

the space-saver wheel.

Versions with steel wheels

Proceed as follows:

make sure the contact surfaces

between standard wheel and hub are

clean so that the fastening bolts will not

come loose;

fit the standard wheel inserting the 4

bolts into the holes;

using the wrench provided, tighten

the fastening bolts;

lower the vehicle and remove the

jack;

use the wrench provided to fully

tighten the bolts, passing alternately

from one bolt to the opposite one;

insert the pressure-fit cup making the

suitable slot coincide with the inflation

valve;

place the inner part of the hub cap

on the wheel rim;

engage the hub cap by applying an

axial force in several points as shown

in fig. 124 to allow the correct coupling

between hub cap and wheel.

124

F0S0632

For cars equipped with 15" steel

wheels with cosmetic hub caps:

156)

once the normal wheel has been

fitted, insert the press-fit hub cap,

aligning the slot with the inflation valve;

place the inner part of the hub cap

on the wheel rim;

engage the hub cap by applying an

axial force in several points as shown

in fig. 125 to allow the correct coupling

between hub cap and wheel.

125

F0S0669

Versions with alloy rims

Proceed as follows:

insert the wheel on the hub and use

the spanner provided to tighten the

bolts;

lower the vehicle and remove the

jack;

use the wrench provided to fully

tighten the bolts in an alternating

sequence;

reinsert the press-fitted hub cap,

making sure that the reference hole on

the wheel is aligned with the reference

pin on the cap.

119

WARNING If it is not fitted correctly, the

hub cap may detach when the vehicle

is running.

147)

The space-saver wheel (for

versions/markets where provided) is

specific to your car, do not use it on

other models, nor use the space-saver

wheel of other models on your car. 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.

148)

On the space-saver wheel there is

an orange sticker, summarising the main

warnings regarding space-saver wheel

usage restrictions. Never remove or cover

the label. The label contains the following

indications in four languages: "Warning!

For temporary use only! 80 km/h max.!

Replace with standard wheel as soon

as possible. Never cover this indication".

Never apply a wheel cap on a space-saver

wheel.

149)

If you change the type of wheel (alloy

rims instead of steel rims and vice versa)

you will have to change the entire set of

fastening bolts with another set of suitably

sized bolts.

150)

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. On hills or uneven

roads, use chocks or appropriate objects

to block the wheels of the vehicle.

151)

The driving features of the car

may change when a space-saver wheel

is fitted. Avoid violent acceleration

and braking, abrupt steering and fast

cornering. The total life of a space-saver

spare wheel is approximately 3,000 km,

after which it must be replaced by another

wheel of the same type. Never install a

traditional tyre on a rim designed to be

used as 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 apply grease to the bolt threads before

fitting: they could come unscrewed.

152)

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.

153)

Snow chains cannot be fitted to

the space-saver wheel. So, if a front

(drive) wheel is punctured and chains are

needed, a rear wheel should be fitted to

the front of the car and the space-saver

wheel should be fitted to the rear. In this

way, equipped with two normal drive

wheels at the front, they can be fitted

with snow chains, thus resolving the

emergency situation.

154)

Incorrectly fitting the wheel cap

may cause it to fall off when the car is in

motion. Never tamper with the inflation

valve. Never introduce tools of any kind

between rim and tyre. Check tyre and

space-saver wheel pressures regularly,

complying with the values given in the

"Technical specifications" chapter.

155)

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.

156)

Be very careful when

removing/refitting the hub cap due to

the proximity of the brake disc. We

recommend using heat protection gloves.

40)

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.
