159)The jack is a tool developed and
designed only for changing a wheel, if a
tyre gets punctured or damaged, on the
vehicle with which it is supplied or on other
vehicles of the same model. Any other
use, e.g. to jack up other vehicle models or
different things, is strictly prohibited. Never
use it to carry out maintenance or repairs
under the vehicle or to change summer/
winter wheels and vice versa. Never go
under the raised vehicle. If any work under
the vehicle is necessary, contact the Fiat
Service Network. Incorrect placing of
the jack can cause the vehicle to drop: 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
vehicle only as needed in order to access
the spare tyre.
160)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.
161)If the hub cap is not fitted correctly, it
may come off when the car is travelling.
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.162)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.
163)Be very careful when removing/
refitting the hub cap due to the proximity of
the brake disc. We recommend using
heat protection gloves.
WARNING
53)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: do not
touch them. If you come into contact
with lubricating grease, clean yourself
thoroughly.
54)Contact a Fiat Dealership as soon as
possible to have the correct tightening
of the wheel bolts checked.
