Use your hazard lights, warning triangle,
etc to show that your car is stationary.
Passengers should get out of the car, particularly
if it is heavily loaded, and wait for the wheel to be
changed away from the traffic. If you are on a
steep slope or uneven surface, place wedges or
other suitable objects under the wheels to secure
the vehicle. Repair and refit the standard wheel
as soon as possible. Do not grease the bolt threads
before you fit them, because they could sudden-
ly come loose.
WARNING
Use the jack only to replace wheels on the
vehicle with which it is supplied or on oth-
er vehicles of the same model. Never use the jack
for other purposes, such as lifting other models.
Never use the jack to carry out repairs under the
vehicle. Incorrect positioning of the jack may
cause the lifted vehicle to fall. Do not use the jack
for loads higher than the one shown on its label.
WARNING
Incorrect hub cap assembly may cause it
to come off when the car is moving. Nev-
er tamper with the inflation valve. Never intro-
duce tools of any kind between the rim and the
tyre. Check tyre and spare wheel pressures regu-
larly, referring to the values shown in the “Tech-
nical specifications” section.
WARNING
Note for one-way tyres
One-way tyres have a few arrows on the side indicating
the rotation direction. If a wheel is changed (when punc-
tured, for example) the direction of the arrows on the spa-
re wheel tyre may not coincide with the rotation direc-
tion of the wheel to be replaced. In these conditions, too,
the tyre still maintains its safety features.
Anyway, it is recommended to have the wheel repaired
and refitted as soon as possible, as the best performance
is achieved when the rotation direction of all tyres coin-
cides with the one indicated by the arrows.

❒if in this case a pressure of at least 1.8 bar is not reached
within five minutes of switching on the compressor, do
not continue driving because the tyre is too damaged
and the hold cannot be guaranteed. Contact
a Fiat Dealership
❒if you do reach the tyre pressure specified in the “Cold
tyre pressures” paragraph of the “Technical specifica-
tions” section, continue your journey immediately; ❒make sure that switch E-fig. 145 of the compressor is
in position 0 (off), start the engine, insert plug D-fig.
144 into the socket and activate the compressor by
turning switch E-fig. 145 to position I (on). Inflate the
tyre to the pressure specified in the “Cold tyre pres-
sures” paragraph in the “Technical specifications” sec-
tion. For a more accurate reading, check pressure
gauge F-fig. 145 with the compressor off;
❒if a pressure value of a least 1.5 bar is not reached with-
in five minutes, disconnect the compressor from the
valve and socket, move the vehicle forwards by about
10 metres to distribute the sealant fluid within the tyre
and repeat the inflation procedure;

IMPORTANT NOTES
❒Where possible, avoid braking suddenly, wheel-spinning
and crashing into kerbs, potholes or other obstacles.
Long distances on uneven roads can damage the tyres;
❒check the tyres regularly for cuts on the sides, swelling
or irregular tread wear. Go to a Fiat Dealership if re-
quired.
❒avoid overloading the car when travelling: this may cause
serious damage to the wheels and tyres;
❒if a tyre is punctured, stop the vehicle immediately and
change it to avoid damage to the tyre, the rim, and the
suspension and steering systems;
❒a tyre will age even if it is not used much. Cracks in
the tread and on the sidewalls are a sign of ageing. In
any event, have the tyres checked by specialised per-
sonnel if they have been fitted for longer than six years.
Remember to check the spare wheel very carefully;
❒In case of replacement, always fit new tyres, avoidingWHEELS AND TYRES
Check the pressure of each tyre, including the spare, every
two weeks and before long journeys. The pressure should
be checked with the tyre rested and cold.
It is normal for the pressure to increase when the vehi-
cle is used; for the correct tyre inflation pressure, see
“Wheels” in the “Technical specifications” section.
Incorrect pressure causes abnormal tyre wear fig. 185:
A normal pressure: tread evenly worn.
B low pressure: tread particularly worn at the edges.
C high pressure: tread particularly worn in the centre.
The tyres must be replaced when the tread is less than 1.6
mm thick. In all cases, follow the laws in force in the coun-
try where you are driving.

those with an unknown origin.
❒If a tyre is replaced, you should also change the inflation
valve.
❒to allow even wear between the front and rear tyres,
it is advisable to switch them every 10-15 thousand kilo-
metres, keeping them on the same side of the car so
as not to reverse the direction of rotation.
Remember that road hold depends on cor-
rect tyre pressures.
WARNING
If the pressure is too low, the tyre
overheats and this can cause it serious
damage.
WARNING
Do not switch the tyres from the right of
the vehicle to the left and vice versa.
WARNING
Do not re-spray alloy wheel rims at tem-
peratures higher than 150 °C. The me-
chanical characteristics of the wheels may be
compromised.
