Replacing a wheel
Undo the wheel nuts with wrench 1
fig. 255.
Position the jack 2 fig. 256 horizontally
so that its head 3 fig. 256 coincides
with the hole under the chassis nearest
to the wheel concerned.
Start raising the jack to rest the base
correctly (it should be slightly under the
vehicle and aligned with the jack head).
Undo the nuts and remove the tyre.
Position the spare tyre in the centre of
the hub.
Tighten the nuts and lower the jack.
When the tyre is on the ground, tighten
the screws hard and check their
tightness as soon as possible.IMPORTANT If you are using
tamper-proof screws, position them as
close as possible to the valve (it could
be impossible to fit the wheel plate).
WARNING
167)Activate hazard warning lights Park
the vehicle far from traffic on level, resistant
and not slippery ground. Pull up the
handbrake and engage a gear. Get all the
occupants out of the car and far from
traffic.
168)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.
169)Use your hazard lights, warning
triangle, etc to show that your vehicle is
stationary. Passengers should get out of
the vehicle, particularly if it is heavily
loaded, and wait for the wheel to be
changed away from the traffic.170)The spare tyre is not the same size as
the other four. Never fit more than one
spare tyre on the same vehicle. The
standard wheel is larger than the spare
wheel, so the vehicle will be lower. Replace
the spare tyre as soon as possible with a
tyre identical to the original. While in use,
which has to be temporary, your speed
should not exceed that indicated on the
wheel's label. If you have to use snow
chains, fit the spare tyre on the rear axle
and check the tyre pressures. Fitting this
tyre can alter the vehicle's normal
behaviour. Avoid accelerating or braking
abruptly and lower your speed on curves.
171)Never leave tools haphazardly in the
vehicle: if you brake suddenly, they could
scatter around the floorboards, causing a
hazard to the occupants. After use, be sure
to fasten the tools in the tool bag, then
place it correctly in its position: risk of
injuries. The jack must only be used for
changing a wheel. It should never be used
to raise the vehicle to perform a repair
underneath.
172)There should be no objects at the
driver's feet: in case of sharp braking, they
could slide under the pedals, preventing
their correct use.

IN AN EMERGENCY

if the pressure is greater than 1.3 bar
but less than prescribed, you need to
adjust it (see the label attached to the
driver's door pillar), otherwise see a Fiat
Dealership: you cannot repair it.
WARNING
173)There should be no objects at the
driver's feet: in case of sharp braking, they
could slide under the pedals, preventing
their correct use.
IMPORTANT
32)The kit can repair tyres whose treads A
fig. 257 are damaged by foreign objects
smaller than 4 millimetres. It cannot repair
all types of puncture, such as cuts larger
than 4 millimetres and those on side B
fig. 257 of the tyre. Also make sure the rims
are in good condition. Do not remove the
foreign object that caused the puncture if it
is implanted in the tyre.33)Do not use the inflation kit if the tyre is
damaged by driving with a puncture. Check
the tyre sides carefully before any
intervention. Travelling with partially or
completely deflated tyres (or punctured)
can cause safety problems and damage
the concerned tyre beyond repair. This
reparation is temporary. A tyre that has
been punctured must be examined (and
repaired if possible) by a specialist as soon
as possible. When replacing a tyre repaired
by the kit, always notify the tyre repairer.
When driving, you can feel vibrations
caused by the product being in the tyre.
34)The kit is approved only for inflating
tyres of vehicles that were originally
equipped with it. It should never be used to
inflate another vehicle's tyres or any other
object (life vests, inflatable mattresses,
etc.). Avoid splashing on skin when using
the repair canister. If the product comes in
contact with skin, rinse thoroughly. Keep
the kit out of the reach of children. Do not
leave empty canister in the environment.
Deliver it to a Fiat Dealership or to a
consortium specialised in its disposal. The
canister has an expiration date indicated on
the label. Check the expiration date. Go to
a Fiat Dealership to replace the inflation
hose and repair canister.
35)Before using the kit, park the vehicle so
it is sufficiently far from traffic, turn on the
emergency lights, pull up the handbrake
and get all the occupants out of the vehicle,
moving them far away from the traffic.
36)In case you are stopped by the
carriageway, warn other road users that
your vehicle is there by placing the warning
triangle or other device allowed by law in
the country you are driving in.37)Caution, a missing or badly screwed on
valve cap could impact the tyre's grip and
cause a loss of pressure. The valve caps
must all be identical to the original ones
and screwed tightly.
38)After repair using the kit, do not drive
farther than 200 km. In addition, lower your
speed, and in any case do not exceed
80 km/h. The label is to be attached in a
visible part of the dashboard. Depending
on the market country or local laws, a tyre
repaired with the inflation kit must be
replaced.

BATTERY
RECHARGING
179) 180) 181) 182)
40)
To avoid risk of sparks:Make sure the "electrical users"
(courtesy lights, etc.) are disconnected
before disconnecting or reconnecting a
battery.
if you want to recharge the battery,
turn off the battery charger before
connecting or disconnecting the
battery;
do not place metal objects on the
battery, to prevent a short circuit
between terminals;
wait at least one minute after turning
off the engine to disconnect the battery;
check that the terminals have been
reconnected correctly after refitting.
Connecting a battery charger
The battery charger has to be
compatible with a nominal voltage of
12 Volts.
Do not disconnect the battery while the
engine is started. Follow the battery
charger manufacturer's instructions for
the battery you plan to use.
WARNING
179)Handle the battery carefully, because
it contains sulphuric acid that must not
come into contact with eyes or skin. If that
happens, rinse thoroughly with water. If
necessary, see a doctor. Keep open
flames, incandescent items and sources of
sparks far from the battery's elements: risk
of explosion. When you intervene near the
engine, this last could be hot. Moreover,
the cooling fan could start up at any time.
Risk of injury.
180)Some batteries can have specific
recharging rules, please ask for information
at a Fiat Dealership. Avoid the risk of
sparks that could cause an immediate
explosion. Charge in a well ventilated
place. Danger of serious injury.
181)Battery fluid is poisonous and
corrosive: avoid contact with your skin and
eyes. The battery should be charged in a
well ventilated place, away from naked
flames or possible sources of sparks:
danger of explosion and fire.
182)Do not attempt to charge a frozen
battery: it must be thawed first, otherwise it
may explode. If freezing has occurred, the
battery should be checked by skilled
personnel to make sure that the internal
elements are not damaged and that the
body is not cracked, with the risk of leaking
poisonous and corrosive acid.
IMPORTANT
40)The engine must be stopped before
performing any operation in the engine
compartment.
