Signal that the car is sta-
tionary as per the highway
code: hazard lights, warn-
ing triangle, etc.
Any passengers must get out of
the car, especially if it is heavily
laden, and keep out of the way of
traffic while the wheel is being
changed.
If the ground is sloping or
bumpy, place wedges or other suit-
able material under the wheels to
stop the car from moving.The space-saver spare
wheel is specific to the ve-
hicle; do not use it on other
models and do not use spare
wheels designed for other models
on your car.
If you change the type of wheels
fitted (alloy rims instead of steel
ones), you must also change the se-
curing bolts for others of suitable
dimensions.
The space-saver spare wheel
must only be used in the event of
an emergency, and then only for as
little as possible and at no more
than 80 km/h. Driving will feel dif-
ferent with the space-saver spare
wheel fitted. Avoid sharp braking
and acceleration, sudden swerving
and fast cornering.The space-saver spare wheel has
a life-span of about 3000 km after
which the tyre should be replaced
with another of the same type.

1. STOP THE CAR
– Stop the car so it is not a danger
for on-coming traffic and in such a
position that the tyre can be changed
in safety. The ground must be flat and
adequately firm. During the night,
chose a lit area, if possible.
– Turn engine off and engage the
handbrake.
– Engage first or reverse gear.
– Signal that the car is stopped ac-
cording to traffic regulations: hazard
lights, warning triangle, etc.
Any passengers must leave the car
and watch out for traffic while the
tyre is being changed.
If the ground is sloping or bumpy,
place wedges or other suitable mate-
rial for stopping the car under the
wheels.2. TAKE OUT THE TOOLS,
JACK AND SPARE WHEEL
(space-saver wheel)
They are in the boot.
– Lift the carpeting.
– Unscrew the fastener A (fig. 2)
and take out the tool holder.
The tool holder contains:
B- vehicle tow ring;
C- jack handle;
D- wheel bolt wrench;
E- screwdriver;F- extension for screwing wheel
bolts and inflation valve cap;
G- jack.

– Take out the tools and remove the
space-saver spare wheel.
IMPORTANTThe indications
which follow must be complied with
to ensure that the jack and the spare
wheel are used correctly.
It must be remembered that:
– the jack weighs 1.85 kg;
– the jack does not require adjust-
ments;
– the jack cannot be repaired. If it
breaks, it must be changed with an-
other new jack;
– only the jack handle described in
this chapter can be fitted onto the
jack.
3. CHANGING THE WHEEL1)Remove the wheel cup with a
screwdriver (LS versions).
2)Loosen the wheel bolts of the
wheel to be changed by about 1 turn.
3)If the car is fitted with alloy rims,
shake the car to facilitate removing
the rim from the wheel hub.
4)Turn the jack handle Cso that
the jack opens partially.
5)Place the jack at the point marked
by a notch H (fig. 3)near the wheel to
be changed at approximately 10 cm
towards the centre of the car (fig. 3).6)Turn the handle Cto open the
jack until the jack groove is correctly
inserted in the sidemember ribbing.
7)Warn any other people present
that the car is going to be lifted. Other
people must stay clear and not touch
the car until it is back on the ground.
8)Turn jack handle and lift the ve-
hicle until the tyre is a few centime-
tres above the ground.
The jack handle must turn freely,
without touching the ground to avoid
scraping your hand.
Do not touch moving parts of the
jack (screws and joints) as they can
cause injuries. If you dirty your hands
with grease, clean them carefully.
9)Undo the 4 bolts completely and
remove the wheel cover (Nversion)
and wheel.

10)Ensure that the support surfaces
of the spare wheel are clean and free
from impurities which could succes-
sively cause the wheel bolts to loosen.
Mount the spare wheel so that the
holesI (fig. 4) coincide with the rela-
tive pinsL.
IMPORTANTDo not fit the wheel
cover on the space-saver spare wheel.
11)Tighten the 4 securing bolts.
12)Turn the jack handle to lower
the car, and remove the jack.
13)Tighten up the wheel bolts com-
pletely in criss-cross fashion following
the order shown in(fig. 5).
14)Put the punctured wheel in the
spare wheel compartment.The spare wheel is narrower than
normal wheels and must only be used
to travel to the nearest service station
so that the original tyre can be re-
paired.
Depending on whether the type of
wheels normally fitted to the car are
alloy or steel, the spare wheel (which
always has a steel rim) will differ in
construction so that it is compatible
with the wheel bolts which are specific
to each type of wheel.
If you wish to change the type of
wheel (alloy instead of steel and vice-
versa) the wheel bolts and a new
spare wheel must be employed.
Modifications or repairs
to the electrical system
carried out incorrectly and
without bearing the features of the
system in mind can cause mal-
functions with the risk of fire. REFITTING THE STANDARD
WHEEL
1)Following the above procedure,
raise the car and take off the space-
saver wheel.
4)Fit the wheel cover (1.2
16VM Nblueversion), mak-
ing sure that slit C (fig. 6)
corresponds with the inflation valve.
5)Insert the other three bolts, using
extensionF (fig. 2)(1.2
16VM Nblue
version).
6)Tighten the bolts using the spe-
cial wrench D (fig. 2).

7)Lower the car and re-
move the jack.
8)Tighten up the bolts com-
pletely in the order given previously in
(fig. 5).
9)Fit the wheel cover (LS version)
making sure that the inflation valve
seat is positioned correctly; press the
cover with the palm of your hands (do
not bang) against the rim shoulder
and ensure that all the retaining flaps
are inserted into the rim.
When you have finished:
– Put the space-saver spare
wheel into its special recess in
the boot.
– Refit the jack in its support mak-
ingA (fig. 7)coincide with the ring B
on the jack and positioning the base
of the jack to match C.
– Refit the tools you used on the sup-
port.
– Arrange the support and close the
fastenerA (fig. 8).
IMPORTANTCheck the inflation
pressure of the tyres and the spare
wheel regularly.

P4C00301
IMPORTANTIf the type of wheel is
to be changed (alloy wheels in place
of steel wheels and vice-versa) all the
wheel bolts must be replaced with
others of a suitable length and a spe-
cific spare wheel employed with dif-
ferent construction characteristics.
The original wheel bolts though,
should be kept in case you wish to
change back to the original wheels at
a later date.
To unscrew/screw the inflation valve
cap, use extension F (fig. 2).

WHEELS
RIMS AND TYRES
Pressed-steel or alloy rims; specific
wheel bolts (different dimensions and
reciprocally incompatible) for each of
the 2 types of rim.
Tubeless tyres.
The vehicle log-book also lists all
types of homologated tyres.IMPORTANTIn the event of dis-
crepancies between the information
given in the Owner Handbook and
that shown in the log-book, refer to
the latter only.
Even if the specified dimensions are
complied with, the vehicle, for safety
reasons, must still be fitted with tyres
of the same make and type on all
wheels.
