Please note that:
the jack weight is 4.5 kg;

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.
150)
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 must be flat and sufficiently
compact;
switch off the engine and pull the
handbrake;
engage first gear or reverse;
put on 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.);
In the event of a wheel change on a
slope or on unsurfaced roads, put
any object as stop under the wheels;
take the tool bag from under the
passenger seat (see "Compartment
under the front passenger side seat" in
the "Internal equipment" chapter in
"Knowing the vehicle").
The container includes these tools:
A - tow hook
B - rod for spanner
C - bolt spanner
D - jack
E - extension for spanner
F - screwdriver gripG - screwdriver bit
if the tool container is not provided,
for special trim versions, a bag
containing the above tools may be
provided;
for versions with alloy rims, remove
the press-fitted hub cap;
take the extension for spanner, the
bolt spanner and the rod for spanner
from the tool container;
with the tools assembled correctly,
loosen the fixing bolts for the wheel
to be changed by one turn;
turn the ring nut to partly extend the
jack;

IN AN EMERGENCY

with the tools assembled, undo the
bolts fig. 164 fully and remove the
wheel;
fit the spare wheel, lining up the
holes G fig. 165 with the corresponding
pins H. While fitting the spare wheel,
make sure that the mating surfaces are
clean and free of impurities that could
later cause the fixing bolts to come
loose;
screw in the 5 fastening bolts;
assemble the tools to tighten the
bolts fully, passing alternately from one
bolt to the diagonally opposite one,
following the scheme shown in fig. 165;
use the wheel removal wrench to
lower the vehicle and remove the jack;
At the end of the operation:
take the replaced wheel, reattach it
to the support E fig. 163 and tighten
the knob D;
insert the assembled tool fig. 162
equipped with the dedicated extension
B fig. 161 onto the screw A fig. 161
of the operating device on the spare
wheel compartment and turn it
clockwise to allow the spare wheel to
raise, until it rests fully against the
sub-platform, making sure that the the
locking mark D fig. 162 has appeared in
the window on the device.
154)
For vehicles with alloy rims, proceed as
follows:
carry out the above described
operations for changing the wheel until
loading the punctured wheel on the
spare wheel lifting device;
take the kit from the tool bag,
located in the glove compartment;
the kit includes one bracket, three
special screws and one Allen spanner,
10 size;

IN AN EMERGENCY

146)The spare wheel supplied (for
versions/markets, where provided) is
specific for your vehicle. Therefore, it must
not be used on other models. Do not
use spare wheels of other models on your
vehicle. The wheel bolts are specific for
your vehicle: do not use them on different
models and do not use bolts from other
models on your car.
147)Repair and refit the standard wheel as
soon as possible. Do not apply grease to
the bolt threads before fitting: they could
come unscrewed.
148)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 vehicle 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.
149)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.
150)No tools other than the crank
provided should be used with the spare
wheel lifting device; it should be operated
by hand only.
151)On versions equipped with self-
levelling air suspension, never introduce the
head or hands in the wheel arch: the
vehicle could raise or lower automatically
depending on possible load or temperature
changes.152)The device should only be operated
by hand, without using any type of tool
other than the crank provided like
pneumatic or electrical screwers.
153)The moving components of the jack
(screws and joints) can also cause injuries:
avoid touching them. If you come into
contact with lubricating grease, clean
yourself thoroughly.
154)At the end of the operation of
raising/locking the spare wheel, after
checking that the wheel is positioned
correctly under the platform (yellow notch
inside the window on the device), extract
the operating wrench. Take care not to turn
the wrench in the wrong direction (as in
fig. 166) to facilitate extracting it, to prevent
the attachment device from being
released and to ensure that the wheel
assembly remains safely fastened.
155)Each time the spare wheel is moved,
check that it is correctly positioned in its
housing under the platform. If it is not
correctly positioned, this could adversely
affect safety.
156)The spare wheel lifting device is
equipped with a clutch safety system for its
own protection; this could activated if an
excessive load is applied on the
maneuvering screw.FIX & GO
