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.

❒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. Lift the vehicle.
After lifting the vehicle:
❒for all versions, when gaining access through the
vehicle’s rear right wheel arch, adjust the screw
A-fig. 167 for the spare wheel retaining device, using
the spanner provided with the extension/adaptor B;
❒indicate that the vehicle has broken down using the
devices required by the regulations in the current
country (e.g. warning triangle, hazard lights etc.);
❒take the extension arm and the wrench from the
tool kit under the passenger seat (see
“Compartment under front passenger seat” in the
“Dashboard and Controls” section);
❒for versions with alloy jacks, remove the press-fitted
hub cap;
❒loosen the bolts on the wheel to be replaced by one
turn;
❒turn the wheel to extend the jack partly;
❒arrange the jack near the lift support closest to the
wheel to be replaced at the points shown in fig. 165.
For short wheelbase versions with retractable
footboard, the jack must be positioned at the lift
point shown in fig. 166 aligned (45°) so that it does
not interfere with the retractable footboard;
