and hub are clean so that the fastening bolts will not
come loose;
❒fit the standard wheel by inserting the first bolt two
threads into the hole closest to the inflation valve;
❒fit the hub cap by aligning the crescent hole with the
bolt you have fitted, then insert the other 3 bolts;
❒using the wrench provided, tighten the fastening bolts;
❒lower the car and remove the jack;
❒using the wrench provided, fully tighten the bolts in
the sequence shown previously.Versions with alloy rims

❒place the wheel onto the hub and tighten the bolts us-
ing the wrench provided;
❒lower the car and remove the jack;
❒using the wrench provided, fully tighten the bolts in
the sequence shown previously.
After tyre replacement
❒stow the spare wheel in the space provided in the boot;
❒ put the jack back in its container partially open by forc-
ing it slightly against the container walls to prevent it
from rattling around when travelling;

Remember that the car’s road holding de-
pends on correct tyre pressures
WARNING
If the pressure is too low, the tyre will over-
heat and could be seriously damaged.
WARNING
Avoid switching the tyres from the right
side of the vehicle to the left side and vice
versa.
Do not re-spray alloy wheel rims at temperatures
higher than 150°C. The mechanical characteris-
tics of the wheels may be compromised.
WARNING
❒check the tyres regularly for cuts on the sides, swelling
or irregular tread wear. Go to a Fiat Dealership if re-
quired;
❒avoid overloading the car when travelling: 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 kilo-
metres, keeping them on the same side of the car so
as not to reverse the direction of rotation.

(ç) Depending on the configuration, the spare wheel has a 175/65 R15 84T tyre and a 6Jx15”- ET43 rim. In this case the 175/65 R15 84T tyre has the
same specifications as the spare wheel: the information in “Changing a tyre” therefore refers to the 175/65 R15 84T tyre.
