General instructions
The car can be delivered (upon request/if
provided) with space-saver spare wheel
or with quick tyre repair kit (called Fix &
Go).
Wheel changing and correct use of the jack
and space-saver spare wheel call for some

book this Supplement is attached to. In the
Owner Handbook you will also find how
to use the Fix & Go kit (quick tyre repair
kit).
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 hand-
brake;
❒engage first gear or reverse;
❒take out the tool bag fig. 3set under the
driver’s seat and take it near the wheel
to be changed;

❒take the space-saver spare wheel A;
❒loosen the bolts on the wheel to be
replaced with the wrench provided A-

❒place the jack near the wheel to be
changed in line with mark Oon the

After changing the wheel
❒put the jack partly open and the tools
used into the tool bag;
❒stow the bag with tools into its place
under the driver’s seat.
IMPORTANT Replaced wheel shall be
placed in the boot under the cover mat as
shown in fig. 10.
IMPORTANT Do not use inner tubes
with tubeless tyres. Check tyre and space-
saver spare wheel pressure regularly.IMPORTANT Changing original wheels
with others of different type (i.e.: with al-
loy rim instead of steel rims and vice ver-
sa) will involve to change the whole set
of wheel bolts with others of suitable
length. It is however recommended to
keep replaced bolts in the event of future
refitting of the original wheels.
