clock FIAT FREEMONT 2013 Owner handbook (in English)

NOTE:Assemble components 2 and 3 by seating the
small ball at the end of component 2 in the small hole at
the end of component 3. This will lock these compo-
nents together. Assemble components 1 and 2 so that
the wheel nut socket at the end of component 1 faces
upward when seated on component 2. This will make it
easier to rotate the assembly when operating the
winch mechanism.
2. Fit the assembled jack-handle over the winch drive nut located in the jack storage area. Rotate the
jack-handle assembly counterclockwise until the
spare tire is on the ground with enough cable slack
to allow you to pull the spare tire out from under-
neath the vehicle.
The winch mechanism is designed for use
with the jack-handle only. Use of an air
wrench or other power tools is not rec-
ommended and it can damage the winch.
3. Pull the spare tire out from underneath the vehicle and raise it upright so the tire's tread is on the
ground.
4. Tilt the retainer at the end of the winch cable and remove it from the center of the wheel. (fig. 152) Spare Tire Stowage
NOTE:
Refer to “Spare Tire Removal” for informa-
tion on assembling the winch tools.
1. Place the spare tire near to the winch cable. Hold the spare upright so that the tire's tread is on the
ground and the valve stem is at the top of the wheel
facing away from the rear of the vehicle.
2. Tilt the retainer at the end of the winch cable and drop it through the center of the wheel. Then place
the spare tire with the cable and retainer under-
neath the vehicle.
3. Fit the assembled jack-handle over the winch drive nut. Rotate the jack-handle assembly clockwise to

Do not attempt to raise the vehicle by
jacking on locations other than those
indicated in the Jacking Instructions for
this vehicle.
(fig. 154)
1. Remove the spare tire, jack, and jack-handle from stowage.
2. Loosen, but do not remove, the wheel nuts on the wheel with the flat tire. Turn the wheel nuts coun-
terclockwise one turn while the wheel is still on the
ground.
3. Place the jack underneath the lift area that is closest to the flat tire. Center the jack saddle between the drain flute formations on the sill flange. Turn the
jack screw clockwise to firmly engage the jack saddle
with the lift area of the sill flange. (fig. 155)
(fig. 156)
4. Raise the vehicle by turning the jack screw clock- wise with the jack handle. Raise the vehicle until the
tire just clears the road surface and enough clear-
ance is obtained to install the spare tire. Minimum
tire lift provides maximum stability.

NOTE:
 For vehicles so equipped, do not attempt to install acenter cap or wheel cover on the compact spare.
 Refer to “Compact Spare Tire” and to “Limited-Use Spare” under “Tires — General Information” in
“Technical Specifications” for additional warnings,
cautions, and information about the spare tire, its
use, and operation.
7. Install the wheel nuts with the cone-shaped end of the nut toward the wheel. Lightly tighten the wheel
nuts.
WARNING!
To avoid the risk of forcing the vehicle
of
f the jack, do not tighten the wheel
nuts fully until the vehicle has been lowered.
Failure to follow this warning may result in per-
sonal injury.
8. Lower the vehicle by turning the jack screw coun- terclockwise with the jack handle.
9. Finish tightening the lug nuts. Push down on the wrench while at the end of the handle for increased
leverage. Tighten the lug nuts in a star pattern until
each nut has been tightened twice. The correct
tightness of each lug nut is 130 N·m. If in doubt
about the correct tightness, have them checked with a torque wrench by you authorized dealer or
service station.
10. Lower the jack to its fully closed position.
11. Place the deflated (flat) tire in the cargo area. Do
not stow the deflated tire in the spare tire
stowage location. Have the deflated (flat) tire
repaired or replaced as soon as possible.
12. To stow the winch cable and retainer, fit the assembled jack-handle over the winch drive nut.
Rotate the jack-handle assembly clockwise until
you hear the winch mechanism click three times. It
cannot be over tightened.
13. Stow the jack-handle and jack. Remove the wheel blocks from the vehicle and release the park brake.
14. Check the tire pressure as soon as possible. Adjust the tire pressure as required.
ROAD TIRE INSTALLATION
Vehicles Equipped With Wheel Covers
1. Mount the road tire on the axle.
2.
To ease the installation process for steel wheels with
wheel covers, install two lug nuts on the mounting
studs which are on each side of the valve stem. Install
the lug nuts with the cone shaped end of the nut
toward the wheel. Lightly tighten the lug nuts.
