WARNING
48)Halogen bulbs must be handled by
holding the metallic part only. Touching the
transparent part of the bulb with your
fingers may reduce the intensity of the
emitted light and even reduce the lifespan
of the bulb. In the event of accidental
contact, wipe the bulb with a cloth
moistened with alcohol and let the bulb
dry.
49)If possible, we recommend to have
bulbs replaced by a Fiat Dealership. The
correct operation and alignment of the

WARNING
142)The space-saver wheel (for
versions/markets, where provided) is
specific to your vehicle, do not use it on
other models, or use the space-saver
wheel of other models on your vehicle. The
space-saver wheel must only be used in
the event of an emergency. It must only be
used for the distance necessary to reach
a service point and the vehicle speed must
not exceed 80 km/h. The space-saver
wheel has an orange label that
summarises the main cautions for use and
limitations. Never remove or cover the
label. The following information is provided
in four languages on the label: "Important!
For temporary use only! 80 km/h max!
Replace with a standard wheel as soon as
possible. Never cover this indication".
Never apply any hub cap to the
space-saver wheel.
143)Use your hazard lights, warning
triangle, etc to show that your vehicle is
stationary. 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. On hills or
uneven roads, use chocks or appropriate
objects to block the wheels of the vehicle.144)The vehicle's driving characteristics
will be modified with the space-saver wheel
fitted. Avoid violent acceleration and
braking, abrupt steering and fast cornering.
The overall duration of the space-saver
wheel is about 3000 km, after which the
relevant tyre must be replaced with another
one of the same type. Never install a
traditional tyre on a rim designed to be
used as a space-saver wheel. Have the
wheel repaired and refitted as soon as
possible. Using two or more space-saver
wheels at the same time is forbidden.
Do not apply grease to the bolt threads
before fitting: they could come unscrewed.
145)The jack may be used to replace
wheels only on the vehicle that it comes
with, or other vehicles of the same model.
Never use the jack for other purposes,
such as lifting other vehicle models. Never
use it for repair operations under the
vehicle. Incorrect positioning of the jack
may cause the vehicle to fall. Do not use
the jack for loads higher than those shown
on the label. Never install snow chains
on the space-saver wheel; if a front tyre
(driving wheel) is punctured and you need
to use snow chains, use a standard wheel
from the rear axle and install the
space-saver wheel on the rear axle. In this
way, with two normal front drive wheels,
it is possible to use snow chains.
146)Incorrect hub cap assembly may
cause it to come off when the vehicle is
moving. Never tamper with the inflation
valve. Never introduce tools of any kind
between rim and tyre. Check tyre and
space-saver wheel pressures regularly,
complying with the values given in the
"Technical specifications" chapter.

the handbrake engaged), resume
driving and drive with great care to the
nearest Fiat Dealership.
WARNING
147)Give the instruction brochure to the
personnel charged with handling the
tyre treated with the quick tyre repair kit.
148)Punctures on the sides of the tyre
cannot be repaired. Do not use the quick
tyre repair kit if the tyre is damaged as
a result of driving with it deflated.
149)If the wheel rim has been damaged
(bent so as to cause air to leak), the wheel
cannot be repaired. Do not remove foreign
