REPLACING A WHEEL
GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
Wheel changing and correct use of the jack and spare
wheel (for versions/markets where provided) call for
some precautions, which are listed below. Proceed as follows to start the car:
❒raise the flap A to gain access to the positive battery
terminal fig. 163.
❒connect the positive terminals (+ sign near the
terminal) of the two batteries with a jump lead;
❒connect the negative terminal (–) of the auxiliary
battery to the earth point with a second cable as
shown in fig. 164;
❒Start the engine;
❒when the engine has been started, follow the
sequence above in reverse order to remove the
leads.
If after a few attempts the engine does not start, do not
persist but contact the nearest Fiat Dealership.
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,
prevent any metal parts on the latter and the vehicle
with the flat battery from accidentally coming into
contact.
BUMP STARTING
Never bump start the engine by pushing, towing or
driving downhill. This could cause a flow of fuel into the
catalytic converter and damage it beyond repair.
IMPORTANT Remember that the brake servo and the
power steering system are not activated until the engine
is started, a greater effort will therefore be required to
press the brake pedal or turn the steering wheel.Indicate that the vehicle is stationary
according to the regulations in force:
emergency lights, refracting warning triangle,
etc. Passengers should leave the vehicle,
particularly if it is very loaded, and wait for the
wheel to be changed away from on-coming
traffic. Apply the handbrake.
WARNING
The spare wheel (for versions/markets
where provided) is specific for your
vehicle. Therefore, it must not be used on
vehicles of a different model. Do not use spare
wheels of different models on your vehicle. The
wheel bolts are specific to your vehicle: do not
use them on other models and do not use bolts
of other models.

Please note that:
❒the jack weight is 4.5 kg;
❒the jack requires no adjustment;
❒the jack cannot be repaired. If it breaks it must be
replaced with a new jack;
❒no tool other than its cranking device may be fitted
on the jack.
Repair and refit the standard wheel as
soon as possible. Do not apply grease to
the bolt threading before assembly: they might
come unscrewed.
WARNING
The jack may only be used to replace
wheels on the car which it equips or
other cars of the same model. Never use the
jack for other purposes, such as lifting other car
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.
WARNING
Never tamper with the inflation valve.
Never introduce tools of any kind
between rim and tyre. Check tyre and spare
wheel pressure regularly referring to the values
shown in the “Technical Specifications” section.
WARNING
No tools other than the crank provided
should be used with the spare wheel
lifting device; it should be operated by hand
only.
WARNING
To change a wheel proceed as follows:
❒stop the vehicle in a position where it does not pose
a danger for on-coming traffic and where you can
replace the wheel safely. The ground must be flat
and sufficiently compact;
❒turn the engine off and pull up the handbrake;
❒engage first gear or reverse;
❒wear the reflecting safety jacket (compulsory by law
in certain countries) before getting out of the
vehicle;

For a more accurate reading, it is advisable to check
the pressure reading on the pressure gauge F-fig. 179
with the compressor off and without moving the
centre selector from the repair position;
❒if a pressure of at least 3 bar is not reached within
10 minutes, detach the transparent filler pipe from
the valve and switch off the 12 V current pin, then
move the vehicle about 10 metres forward to
distribute the sealant liquid inside the tyre and repeat
the inflation operation;
❒if after this operation it is still not possible to reach
at least 3 bar after 10 minutes, do not start driving
since the tyre is excessively damaged and the fast
tyre repair kit cannot guarantee adequate hold.
Contact a Fiat Dealership;
❒if the tyre reaches the pressure specified in the
“Inflation pressure” paragraph in the „Technical
Specifications“ chapter, start driving immediately;
Apply the adhesive label in a position
clearly visible by the driver as a reminder
that the tyre has been treated with the quick
repair kit. Drive carefully, particularly on bends.
Do not exceed 80 km/h. Do not accelerate and
brake suddenly.
WARNING
❒After driving for about 10 minutes stop and check
the tyre pressure again; pull up the handbrake.
If the pressure falls below 3 bars, do not
drive any further: the quick tyre repair kit
Fix & Go automatic cannot guarantee adequate
hold because the tyre is too damaged. Contact
a Fiat Dealership.
