GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
Wheel changing and correct use of the
jack and spare wheel call for some pre-
cautions, as listed below.
Use your hazard lights,
warning triangle, etc to show
that your car is stationary. Passengers
should get out of the car, particular-
ly if it is heavily loaded, and wait for
the wheel to be changed away from
the traffic. Apply the handbrake.
WARNING
The spare wheel provided is
specific for your vehicle.
Therefore, it must not be used on dif-
ferent models and you should not use
spare wheels from other models on
your vehicle. The wheel bolts are spe-
cific for your vehicle: do not use them
on different models and do not use
bolts from other models on your car.
WARNING
Repair and refit the standard
wheel as soon as possible.
Do not apply grease to the bolt
threads before assembly: they might
spontaneously unscrew.
WARNING
The jack may be used to re-
place wheels only on the car
which it equips or other cars of the
same model. Never use the jack for
other purposes, such as lifting other
models. Never use the jack to carry
out repairs under the car. Incorrect
positioning of the jack may cause the
car to fall. Do not use the jack for
loads higher than the one shown on
its label.
WARNING
Incorrect hub cap assembly
may cause it to come off
when the car is moving. Never tam-
per with the inflation valve. Never in-
troduce tools of any kind between the
rim and the tyre. Check tyre and
spare wheel pressure regularly, refer-
ring to the values shown in the “Tech-
nical specifications” section.

WHEELS AND TYRES
Check the pressure of each tyre, includ-
ing the spare, every two weeks and before
long journeys. The pressure should be
checked with the tyre rested and cold.
It is normal for the pressure to increase
when the car is used; for the correct tyre
inflation pressure, see “Wheels” in the
“Technical specifications” section.
Incorrect pressure causes abnormal tyre
wearfig. 8:
Anormal pressure: tread evenly worn.
Blow pressure: tread particularly worn
at the edges.
Chigh pressure: tread particularly worn
in the centre.
The tyres must be replaced when the
tread is less than 1.6 mm thick. In all cas-
es, follow the laws in force in the coun-
try where you are driving.
fig. 8F0M0160m
IMPORTANT NOTES
❒Where possible, avoid braking sudden-
ly, wheel-spinning and crashing into
curbs, potholes or other obstacles.
Long distances on uneven roads can
damage the tyres;
❒check the tyres regularly for cuts on the
sides, swelling or irregular tread wear.
Go to a Fiat Dealership if required.
❒avoid overloading the car when travel-
ling: this may cause serious damage to
the wheels and tyres;
❒if a tyre is punctured, stop the vehicle
immediately and change it to avoid
damage to the tyre, the rim, and the
suspension and steering systems;
❒a tyre will age even if it is not used much.
Cracks in the tread and on the sidewalls
are a sign of ageing. In any event, have
the tyres checked by specialised per-
sonnel if they have been fitted for longer
than 6 years. Remember to check the
spare wheel very carefully;
❒in case of replacement, always fit new
tyres, avoiding those with an unknown
origin;
❒if a tyre is replaced, you should also
change the inflation valve;
❒to allow even wear between the front
and rear tyres, it is advisable to switch
them every 10–15 thousand kilometres,
keeping them on the same side of the
car so as not to reverse the direction
of rotation.
Remember that the road
holding qualities of your car
also depend on correct tyre pressures.
