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 pro-
ceed, 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. 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 for loads
over the value indicated on the
plate.
Fasten the wheel cap correctly
to prevent the wheel from com-
ing free in motion.
Never tamper with the inflation
valve.
Never 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 SPECIFI-
CATIONSchapter. Never fit a traditional
tyre on a space-saver
spare wheel rim. Have
the replace wheel repair and re-
fitted as soon as possible.
Never use two or more spare
wheels at the same time.
Do not lubricate the bolt
threads before fitting them back:
they could come loose.

91IN AN EMERGENCY
Please note:
– The jack requires no adjustments.
– The jack cannot be repaired. If it
breaks it must be replaced with a new
jack.
– No tool, other than its handle, in-
dicated in this chapter, can be fitted
onto the jack. CHANGING THE WHEEL
1)Loosen the wheel bolts on the
wheel to be changed by approximately
one turn fig. 4.
2)Turn the jack handle so that the
jack opens partially.
3)Position the jack near the wheel
to be changed.
4)Ensure that grooves A-fig. 5in
the jack fits properly into the side-
member B.
5)Warn any people present that the
vehicle is about to be raised; make
sure they keep at a safe distance and
do not touch the car until it is low-
ered once more.

6) Insert the handle in the jack and
turn it until the wheel to be changed
lifts a few centimetres off the ground.
When turning the handle make sure it
rotates freely without danger of graz-
ing your hands on the ground. Also
the moving parts of the jack (screws
and joints) can cause injury: do not
touch them. Clean yourself up if you
are soiled with lubricating grease.
7)Remove the wheel cap having re-
moved the three bolts securing it.
Then loosen the fourth bolt A-fig. 6
and remove the wheel.

5) Lower the car and remove the
jack.
6)Torque the screws in the order
described above fig. 8.
After refitting the wheel:
– place the spare wheel in its recess
in the boot and fasten it with the ring
nut A-fig. 3;
– put the jack in its bag and place this
in the replaced wheel.
IMPORTANTTubeless tyres are
used.
Check the inflation pressure of the
tyres and the spare wheel regularly.

P4Q00099
8) Ensure that the housings for the
wheel bolts on the spare wheel are
clean and free from dirt which could
cause the wheel bolts to come loose.
9) Fit the space-saver spare wheel
making peg A-fig. 7coincide with one
of the holes B on the wheel.
10)Screw the four fastening bolts.
11)Wind down the jack to lower
the car and remove the jack.
12)Fully tighten the bolts moving in
a criss-cross fashion following the or-
der shown in fig. 8.REFITTING THE STANDARD
WHEEL
1)Following the above procedure,
raise the car and remove the space-
saver wheel.
2)Refit a regular wheel inserting the
first bolt A-fig. 6in the hole opposite
the inflation valve.
3)Fit the wheel cap ensuring symbol
YA-fig. 9corresponds with the in-
flation valve and the previously fixed
bolt B.
4)Insert the other three bolts and
screw them using the specific wrench.

93IN AN EMERGENCY
IMPORTANTFor cars equipped
with optional alloy wheels, a specific
spare wheel is required which differs
from that used on cars equipped with
steel rims. When fitting alloy rims to
replace steel rims at a later date, the
four original wheel bolts should be
changed with a new set of adequately
sized bolts and a specific spare wheel.
It is advised to keep the bolts and
the spare wheel, which would become
necessary if you should decide to re-
turn to the original type of wheels. IF A BULB BURNS
OUT Only touch the metal
part when handling halo-
gen bulbs. If the transpar-
ent bulb is touched it reduces the
intensity of the light emitted and
can also reduce the life of the
bulb. If you touch the bulb acci-
dentally, rub it with a cloth
moistened with alcohol and leave
it to dry. Modifications or repairs
to the electrical system
carried out incorrectly
and without bearing the features
of the system in mind can cause
malfunctions with the risk of fire.
You should, where pos-
sible, have your bulbs
changed at a Fiat Dealer-
ship. Correct operation of the ex-
ternal light beams are essential
for safe driving and compliance
with legal requirements. Halogen bulbs contain
pressurised gas which, if
broken, may cause small
fragments of glass to be pro-
jected outwards.

94IN AN EMERGENCY
GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
When a light is not working, check
that it has not fused before changing
the bulb.
For location of fuses, refer to
IF A
FUSE BLOWS
in this chapter.
Before replacing a bulb that does not
work, check that the contacts are not
oxidised.
Burnt-out bulbs must be replaced
with ones of the same type.
Always check the height of the head-
light beam after changing a bulb.

IMPORTANTOn the inside sur-
face of the headlight there could ap-
pear a slight coat of fogging; this does
not show a defect, since it is a natural
occurrence due to low temperature
and to the degree of humidity in the
air; it will soon disappear as soon as
the lights are turned on. The presence
of drops inside the headlight shows
water seepage, refer to the Fiat
Dealership.

95IN AN EMERGENCY
