SNOW CHAINS
Use of snow chains should be in compli-
ance with local regulations.
Snow chains should only be applied to the
driving wheels (front wheels). We rec-
ommend using Lineaccessori Fiat snow
chains.
Check the tension of the chains after dri-
ving some ten metres.IMPORTANT Snow chains cannot be fit-
ted to the space-saver spare wheel. So, if
a front (drive) wheel is punctured and
chains are needed, a rear wheel should be
fitted to the front of the vehicle and the
spare wheel should be fitted to the rear.
This way with two normal drive wheels,
snow chains can be fitted to them to solve
an emergency.
IMPORTANT Tyres 205/50 R16 87V can-
not be fitted with snow chains.

Type of snow chains to be used
Snow chains with standard size
with max protrusion beyond the tyre profile of 12 mm.
Keep your speed
down when snow
chains are fitted. Do
not exceed 50 km/h.
Avoid potholes, steps and pavements
and avoid also to drive for long dis-
tances on roads not covered with snow
to prevent damaging the car and the
roadbed.
Refer to the above mentioned
table for information on the
wheels where snow chains can
be fitted. Follow the prescrip-
tions.

WARNING
LIGHTS AND
MESSAGES
IN AN
EMERGENCY
The jack should only be used
to change a wheel on the car
for which it was designed. It should
not be put to other uses or employed
to raise other models of cars. Under
no circumstances should it be used
when carrying out repairs under the
car. An incorrectly positioned jack
may cause the car to fall. Do not use
the jack to lift loads exceeding that
indicated on the label attached to the
jack itself. Do not fit snow chains on
a space-saver spare wheel. If a front
wheel (drive wheel) is punctured and
you require snow chains to proceed,
take a standard wheel from the rear
axle and fit the space-saver spare
wheel in its place. Having fitted two
standard wheels on the front drive
axle you can use snow chains, thus
solving the emergency situation.
WARNING
Fasten the wheel cap cor-
rectly to prevent the wheel
from coming free in motion. Never
tamper with the inflation valve. Nev-
er place tools between the rim and
tyre. Check the tyre and space-saver
spare wheel pressure regularly. The
tyre inflation pressure is shown in the
“Technical specifications” chapter.
WARNINGPlease note:
❒the jack cannot be repaired. If it breaks
it must be replaced with a new jack;
❒no tool other than its cranking device
may be fitted on the jack.
To change a wheel proceed as follows:
❒Stop the car in a position that is not
dangerous for oncoming traffic where
you can change the wheel safely. The
ground should be flat and adequately
firm;
❒Turn the engine off and pull up the
handbrake;
❒Engage first gear or reverse;
❒Lift the luggage compartment panel
mat;
❒Loosen the fastener A-fig. 11;
❒Take the tool bag Band go to the
wheel to be replaced;
❒Take the space-saver spare wheel C;
❒If the car is fitted with alloy rims, re-
move the wheel hub with the screw-
driver provided levering in the groove
