CHANGING A WHEEL
The vehicle is originally equipped
with the Fix&Go automatic quick
tyre repair kit (see instructions in the
next section). As an alternative,
the vehicle may have a normal-sized
spare wheel.
Wheel changing and correct use of
the jack and spare wheel call for
some precautions, as listed below.
108) 109) 110) 111)
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 punctured, for example) the
direction of the arrows on the spare
wheel tyre may not coincide with
the rotation direction 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
coincides with the one indicated by
the arrows.
Please note that:
❒the jack weight is 4 kg;
❒the jack requires no adjustment;
❒the jack cannot be repaired and in
the event of a fault it must be
replaced by another original one;
❒no tool other than its cranking device
may be fitted on the jack.
To change a wheel, proceed as
follows:
❒stop the vehicle in a position that is
not dangerous for oncoming traffic
where you can change the wheel
safely. The ground should be flat
if possible, and sufficiently firm;
❒stop the engine and pull the
handbrake;
❒engage first gear or reverse;
❒wear the reflective safety jacket
(compulsory by law in certain
countries) before getting out of the
vehicle;❒indicate that the vehicle has broken
down using the devices required by
the law in the current country (e.g.
warning triangle, hazard lights, etc.);
❒for Cargo versions fig. 180: move the
left front seat forward and operate
lever A to access the tool bag; take it
to the wheel that needs replacing;
❒for Doblò/Doblò Combi versions fig.
181: open the rear doors, inside the
compartment on the rear right side,
take the tool bag, unhooking the
elastic band from the buckle, and
take it next to the wheel to be
changed;
❒take wheel spanner B fig. 182 and
the extension with pentagonal fitting
C; inside the load area, fit extension
C on bolt A; use spanner B to lower
the wheel by unwinding the wire;

❒operate the jack using the knob
(release the handle from the clip and
the hole on the nut) in order to open
it partially fig. 187, then position it
under the vehicle in line with
references A fig. 188 near the wheel
to be changed.
❒operate the jack with the knob to
open it until the groove A fig. 189
of the jack is correctly inserted in the
lower profile B on the side member:❒warn anybody nearby that the vehicle
is about to be lifted. They must stay
clear and not touch the vehicle until it
is back on the ground.
❒introduce the handle in the hole on
the nut and the plastic clip, then
operate the jack and raise the
vehicle, until the wheel is a few
centimetres off the ground. When
turning the crank, ensure that it
rotates freely in order to avoid grazing
your hands against the ground. The
moving components of the jack
(screws and joints) can also cause
injuries: avoid touching them. If
you become soiled with the
lubricating grease, clean it off
thoroughly;
❒fully loosen the fixing bolts and
remove the wheel;❒make sure the contact surfaces
between spare wheel and hub are
clean so that the fastening bolts will
not come loose;
❒fit the standard wheel by inserting the
first bolt B fig. 190 two threads into
the hole closest to the inflation valve

adapter D fig. 193 and fit the plastic
spacer C between the spring and the
flange of the bracket. The plastic fin
must be directed downwards and
perfectly coincide with the flange cut
part;❒fit the bracket E fig. 194 in the
adapter D, fit the pin in the hole and
fasten by the knob F;
❒position the wheel vertically and rest
the fitted adaptor on the inside of the
rim, then using the screws provided
fix the wheel to the adaptor, using the
socket wrench for the wheel nuts G
fig. 195. Tighten the screws with
the wheel removal wrench.
NOTE Use the spare wheel covering
bag to protect the replaced alloy
wheel.
❒Check that the position of the
replaced wheel under the platform is
correct (the lifting system is equipped
with a clutch to limit the end of the
stroke, incorrect positioning may
jeopardise safety;)

Combi versions).
WARNING
108) The spare wheel (where
provided) is specifically for your
vehicle. Therefore, it must not be
used on other models. Do not
use spare wheels of other models
on your vehicle. The spare wheel
must be used only in an
emergency. Use of the spare
wheel must kept to the minimum
necessary.109) Use your hazard lights, warning
triangle, etc. to show that your
vehicle is stationary according to
the regulations in force.
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. If you are on a slope or
uneven surface, place wedges or
other suitable objects under the
wheels to secure the vehicle.
Have the wheel repaired and
refitted as soon as possible. Do
not apply grease to the bolt
threads before assembly: they
might spontaneously unscrew.
110) Use the jack only to replace
wheels on the vehicle with which
it is supplied or on other 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
those shown on the label.111) Incorrect hub cap assembly
may cause it to come off when the
vehicle is moving. Never tamper
with the inflation valve. Never
introduce tools of any kind
between rim and tyre. Check tyre
and spare wheel pressures
regularly, referring to the values
shown in the "Technical
specifications" section.

BOTTLE
REPLACEMENT
PROCEDURE
To replace the bottle, proceed as
follows:
❒disconnect coupling B fig. 203;
❒turn the bottle to be replaced
anticlockwise and raise it;
❒fit the new bottle and turn it
clockwise;
❒connect coupling B to the cylinder
and fit transparent pipe A in the
specific compartment.
WARNING
112) Give the instruction booklet to
the tyre repair workshop
personnel.
113) Do not use the compressor for
more than 20 consecutive
minutes. Risk of overheating.
Tyres repaired with the quick tyre
repair kit must only be used
temporarily, as the kit is not
suitable for a definitive repair.
114) Punctures on the sides of the
tyre cannot be repaired. Do not
use the quick tyre repair kit if the
damage is due to running with flat
tyre.
115) If the wheel rim has been
damaged (bent so as to cause air
to leak), the wheel may not be
repaired. Do not remove foreign
bodies (screws or nails) from
the tyre.116) The bottle contains ethylene
glycol. It contains latex that might
cause allergic reactions. It is
harmful if swallowed. It is irritant
for the eyes. It may cause
sensitisation if inhaled or on
contact. Avoid contact with eyes,
skin and clothes. In the case of
contact, wash immediately with
plenty of water. In the event that it
is swallowed, do not induce
vomiting. Rinse out your mouth,
drink large quantities of water and
seek immediate medical attention.
Keep out of the reach of children.
The product must not be used
by asthmatics. Do not inhale the
vapours during insertion and
suction. Call a doctor immediately
if allergic reactions are noted.
Store the bottle in the specific
compartment, away from sources
of heat. The sealant has an expiry
date. Replace the bottle if the
sealant has expired.
117) Wear the protective gloves
provided together with the quick
tyre repair kit.

IN AN EMERGENCY

IMPORTANT Do not directly connect
the negative terminals of the two
batteries: any sparks may ignite the
explosive gas which could come
out of the battery. If the auxiliary
battery is installed on another
vehicle, avoid any metal parts on the
latter and the vehicle with the flat
battery from accidentally coming
into contact.
29)
121)
BUMP STARTING
Never bump start the engine by
pushing, towing or coasting
downhill. This could cause fuel to
flow into the catalytic converter and
damage it beyond repair.IMPORTANT Remember that the
brake booster and the electric
power steering system are
not active until the engine is started,
so you will need to apply much
more force to the brake pedal or
steering wheel.
IMPORTANT
29) Never use a fast battery-charger
for emergency starting of the
engine as this could damage the
electronic systems of your vehicle,
particularly the ignition and fuel
supply control units.
WARNING
121) This procedure must be
performed by qualified personnel
as incorrect actions may cause
high-intensity electrical discharge.
Furthermore, battery fluid is
poisonous and corrosive: avoid
contact with skin and eyes. Keep
naked flames away from the
battery. No smoking. Do not cause
sparks.

TOWING THE
VEHICLE
The tow ring provided with the
vehicle is located in the tool box
behind the left seat backrest (Cargo
versions) or in the boot (Doblò /
Doblò Combi versions).
ATTACHING THE TOW
HOOK
Proceed as follows:
❒release the cap A fig. 205-fig. 206;
❒take the tow hook B from the tool
bag;
❒fully screw the hook onto the
threaded front or rear pin.
123) 124) 125)
30)
WARNING
123) Before starting towing
operations, turn the ignition key to
MAR and then to STOP, without
extracting it. If the key is
extracted, the steering lock
engages automatically and it is
consequently impossible to steer
the wheels.
124) Clean the threaded seat
carefully before fastening the ring.
Before towing the vehicle, make
sure that the tow ring is fully
tightened in its appropriate
housing. Do not start the engine
whilst the vehicle is being towed.125) When towing, remember that
greater effort is required on the
brake pedal in order to brake,
since the brake servo is not
providing assistance. Do not use
flexible cables when towing and
avoid jerky movements. During
towing operations, make sure that
the fastened joint does not
damage adjoining components.
When towing the vehicle, comply
with the specific rules of the
highway code regarding the
towing device and road conduct.
Do not start the engine whilst
the vehicle is being towed.
