WARNING
291)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 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.292)Have the wheel repaired and refitted
as soon as possible. Do not apply grease
to the bolt threads before fitting: they could
come unscrewed.
293)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.
294)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. Apply the handbrake. in the
event of a wheel change on a slope or on
unsurfaced roads, put any object as stop
under the wheels.
295)Be sure to apply chocks or blocks to
the correct tyre when jacking up the
vehicle. If the vehicle moves while jacked
up, the jack could slip out of position,
leading to an accident.
296)The pressure should be periodically
checked and maintained at the specified
pressure while the tyre is stowed. Driving
with an insufficient tyre pressure can lead
to an accident. If you have no choice but to
drive with an insufficient tyre pressure,
keep your speed down and inflate the tyre
to the correct pressure as soon as
possible. (Refer to “Tyre inflation
pressures”).297)Set the jack only at the positions
shown here. If the jack is set at a wrong
position, it could dent your vehicle or the
jack might fall over and cause personal
injury.
298)Do not use the jack on a tilted or soft
surface. Otherwise, the jack might slip and
cause personal injury. Always use the jack
on a flat, hard surface. Before setting the
jack, make sure there are no sand or
pebbles under the jack base.
299)Stop jacking up the vehicle as soon
as the tyre is raised off the ground. It is
dangerous to raise the vehicle any higher.
Do not get under your vehicle while using
the jack. Do not bump the raised vehicle or
leave it sitting on the jack for a long time.
Both are very dangerous. Do not use a jack
except the one that came with your
vehicle. The jack should not be used for
any purpose other than to change a tyre.
No one should be in your vehicle when
using the jack. Do not start or run the
engine while your vehicle is on the jack. Do
not turn the raised wheel. The tyres still on
the ground could turn and make your
vehicle fall off the jack.
300)Do not get under your vehicle while
using the jack.
301)Do not bump the raised vehicle or
leave it sitting on the jack for a long time.
Both are very dangerous.
302)Do not use a jack except the one that
came with your vehicle.
303)The jack should not be used for any
purpose other than to change a tyre.
304)No one should be in your vehicle
when using the jack.
305)Do not start or run the engine while
your vehicle is on the jack.
221

306)Do not turn the raised wheel. The
tyres still on the ground could turn and
make your vehicle fall off the jack.
307)Handle the wheel carefully when
changing the tyre, to avoid scratching the
wheel surface.
308)Mount the spare wheel with the valve
stem (J) facing outboard. If you cannot see
the valve stem (J), you have installed the
wheel backwards. Operating the vehicle
with the spare wheel installed backwards
can cause vehicle damage and result in an
accident.
309)Be sure to open the release valve
slowly. If it is opened quickly, the vehicle will
drop abruptly and the jack may come out
of position, causing a serious accident.
310)Never use your foot or a pipe
extension for extra force in the wheel nut
wrench. If you do so, you will tighten the
nut too much.
311)The tyre pressure should be
periodically checked and maintained at the
specified pressure while the tyre is stowed.
312)After changing the tyre and driving the
vehicle about 1,000 km, retighten the
wheel nuts to make sure that they have not
come loose.
313)If the steering wheel vibrates when
driving after changing the tyre, we
recommend you to have the tyres checked
for balance.
314)Do not mix one type of tyre with
another or use a different size from the one
listed. This would cause early wear and
poor handling.315)The spare wheel should always be
securely in position. If a flat tyre is
changed, put the flat tyre in the spare
wheel mounting position with the wheel
outer surface upward, and use the wheel
nut wrench to secure it firmly.
316)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.
317)The moving components of the jack
(screw and joints) can also cause injuries:
do not touch them. If you come into
contact with lubricating grease, clean
yourself thoroughly.
IMPORTANT
163)Avoid using different size tyres from
the one listed and the combined use of
different types of tyres, as this can affect
driving safety.
164)Even if a wheel has the same rim size
and offset as the specified type of wheel,
its shape may prevent it from being fitted
correctly. Consult an authorised Fiat
Dealership before using wheels that you
have.
165)When installing or removing the spare
wheel, please observe the followings. If you
do not follow them, it could result in break
the spare wheel carrier. Do not use the
power tool. Use the wheel nut wrench
stowed on the vehicle. Do not apply a force
of 400 N or more at the end of the wheel
nut wrench.166)Never apply oil to either the wheel
bolts or the nuts or they will tighten too
much.
167)If the release valve is loosened too
much (2 or more turns) in the anticlockwise
direction, the jack’s oil will leak and the jack
cannot be used.
168)Close the release valve slowly when
lowering the vehicle, or the valve may be
damaged.
