GENERAL WARNINGS
WARNING
Never travel with objects on your lap, in front of your chest or with a pipe,
pencil, etc. between your lips; injury may result in the event of the air bag being
triggered.WARNING
Do not cover the backrest of front seats with trims or covers that are not suitable
to be used with side bags.
If the car has been stolen or an attempt to steal it has been made, if it has been
subjected to vandals or floods, have the air bag system checked by Fiat
Dealership.WARNING
WARNINGAlways keep your hands on the steering wheel rim when driving, so that if the air
bag is triggered, it can inflate without meeting any obstacles which could cause
serious harm to you. Do not drive with the body bent forwards, keep the seat back
rest in the erect position and lean your back well against it.
WARNINGIf when turning the ignition key to MAR, the warning light ¬does not turn on or if
it stays on when travelling there could be a failure in safety systems; in this event
air bags or pretensioners could not trigger in case of impact or, in a minor number
of cases, they could trigger accidentally. Contact Fiat Dealership immediately to
have the system checked.

WARNINGThe space-saver spare wheel (where provided) is specific to your car, do not use it
on other models, or use the spare wheel of other models on your vehicle. The
space-saver spare wheel shall only be used in an emergency. It shall only be used
for the distance necessary to reach a service point and the car speed shall not
exceed 80 km/h. The spare wheel has an orange sticker that summarises the main
cautions for use and limitations. The sticker should never be removed or covered.
Never fit a wheel cap on a space-saver spare wheel. The sticker gives the following
information in four languages: caution! For temporary use only! 80 km/h max!
Replace by normal wheel as soon as possible. Do not cover this label in use.
If changing standard wheels (e.g.: wheels with alloy rims in place of steel rims)
change also all wheel bolts.
WARNINGWhen driving with a space-saver spare wheel fitted, the driving performance of the
car changes. Avoid accelerating or braking sharply, abrupt turns or fast cornerings.
The life of the spare wheel is approx. 3000 km, after this distance it should be
replaced with another of the same type. Never attempt to fit a conventional tyre
on a rim designed for use as a space-saver spare wheel. Have the punctured wheel
repaired and refitted as soon as possible. Two or more space-saver spare wheels
should never be used together. Do not grease the threads of bolts before installing
them: they might slip out.

❒to take out the small wheel, or (where provided) the normal size spare
wheel, you have to operate by wrench (A), provided in supply, on
relating bolt; turning it anticlockwise the wheel will lower until it
reaches the ground, to remove it from the supporting hoist, move the
locking bell underneath from position 1 to position 2;
❒only when 15” rims in alloy are present, check bracket (B) is supplied
for spare wheel and its fastening studs (C);
WARNING Check bracket (where provided) must compulsorily be
positioned in rim interior; fastening is through two studs. For positioning
the bell-shaped portion, follow relating pictures (positioning with spare
wheel in alloy, spare wheel made of metal sheet or spare small wheel).
❒Remove check bracket (B) (if present) unscrewing the two fastening
studs (C);
❒Remove the wheel cap (where provided) using a screwdriver as a lever
on the edge of the cap. Loosen the wheel bolts on the wheel to be
changed by approximately one turn;
❒For alloy rims, loosen the anchorage bolts and rock the car to remove
the alloy rim more easily from the wheel hub;
❒Turn the jack hand wheel to open it partially;

❒if a tyre is punctured, stop immediately and change
it to avoid damage to the tyre, the rim, suspensions
and steering system.
❒tyres age even if they are not used much. Cracks in
the tread rubber are a sign of ageing. In any case, if
the tyres have been on the car for over 6 years,
they should be checked by specialised personnel, to
see if they can still be used. Also remember to
check the space-saver spare wheel.
❒in the case of replacement, always fit new tyres,
avoiding those of dubious origin.
WARNINGRemember that road holding depends also on the correct tyre inflating pressure.
WARNINGIf the pressure is too low the tyre overheats and this can cause it serious damage.❒if a tyre is changed, also change the inflation valve.
❒to allow even wear between the front and rear
tyres, it is advisable to change them over every 10-
15 thousand kilometres, keeping them on the same
side of the car so as to not reverse the direction of
rotation.
WARNINGDo not cross switch the tyres, moving them from the right of the car to the left and
vice versa.
Never submit alloy rims to repainting treatments requiring to use temperatures
exceeding 150°C since the mechanical properties of the wheels could be
impaired.WARNING
