WARNING
127)If left in the passenger compartment,
the punctured wheel and jack constitute a
serious risk to the safety of occupants in
the event of accidents or sharp braking.
Therefore, always place both the jack and
punctured wheel in the dedicated housing
in the boot.
128)It is extremely dangerous to attempt
to change a wheel on the side of the
vehicle next to the driving lane: make sure
that the vehicle is at a sufficient distance
from the road, to avoid being run over.
129)Alert other drivers that the car is
stationary in compliance with local
regulations: hazard warning lights, warning
triangle, etc. Any passengers on board
should leave the car, especially if it is
heavily laden. Passengers should stay
away from on-coming traffic while the
wheel is being changed. For safety
reasons, always block the wheels with the
chocks provided.130)The jack is a tool developed and
designed only for changing a wheel, if a
tyre gets punctured or damaged, on the
vehicle with which it is supplied or on other
vehicles of the same model. Any other use,
e.g. to jack up other vehicle models or
different things, is strictly prohibited. Never
use it to carry out maintenance or repairs
under the vehicle or to change
summer/winter wheels and vice versa.
Never go under the raised vehicle. If any
work under the vehicle is necessary,
contact the Fiat Service Network. Incorrect
placing of the jack can cause the vehicle to
drop: use it only in the positions indicated.
Do not use the jack for loads higher than
the one shown on its label. Never start the
engine with vehicle raised. If the vehicle is
raised more than necessary, everything can
become more unstable, with the risk of the
vehicle dropping violently. Thus, lift the
vehicle only as needed in order to access
the spare wheel.
131)Never tamper with the inflation valve.
Never introduce tools of any kind between
the rim and the tyre. Check tyre and
space-saver wheel pressures regularly,
complying with the values given in the
"Technical specifications" chapter.132)The jack is a tool developed and
designed only for changing a wheel, if a

e.g. to jack up other vehicle models or
different things, is strictly prohibited. Never
use it to carry out maintenance or repairs
under the vehicle or to change
summer/winter wheels and vice versa: we
advise you to contact a Fiat Dealership.

IMPORTANT
35)When turning the jack handle make
sure that it can turn freely without scraping
your hand against the ground. The moving
components of the jack ("worm screw" and
joints) can also cause injuries: avoid
touching them. If you come into contact
with lubricating grease, clean yourself
thoroughly.
36)Contact a Fiat Dealership as soon as
possible to have the correct tightening of
the wheel bolts checked.

less than 1.8 bar / 26 psi, switch off thecompressor, disconnect the sealing
fluid tube from the tyre valve, re-screw
the valve cap and move the vehicle
about 10 meters to allow the
distribution of sealing fluid in the tyre.
Securely stop the vehicle and repeat
the operation above until reaching the
required pressure. If after other 5 min.
from the compressor ignition, the
pressure gauge still indicates a pressure
lower than 1.8 bar / 26 psi, the TYRE IS
TOO DAMAGED AND CANNOT BE
REPAIRED. Remove and place the kit in
the specific compartment and contact a
Fiat Dealership;
if the required pressure is reached,
restart driving. Do not exceed 80 km/h.
Avoid sudden acceleration or braking.
After driving for about 8 km / 5 miles,
place the vehicle in a safe and smooth
area, engaging the parking brake. Pick
up the kit, ensure the on-off button is in0position, insert the electrical
connector in the vehicle 12V socket.
Remove the cap from the valve of
repaired tyre, disconnect and pull out
the black inflation tube 1 fig. 127,
connect and block it with the stack to
the valve. Inspect the pressure gauge to
check the tyre pressure;
if the pressure indicated is lower than
1.8 bar / 26 psi, the TYRE IS TOO
DAMAGED AND CANNOT BE
REPAIRED. Remove and place the kit in
the specific compartment and contact a
Fiat Dealership;
if the pressure indicated is equal to or
higher than 1.8 bar / 26 psi, switch on
the compressor and reach the required
pressure. Disconnect and replace the
kit in the specific compartment.
