compliance with local

regulations: hazard warning

lights, warning triangle etc.

GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS

Passengers on board should

leave the vehicle, especially if it is

heavily laden. Passengers should

stay away from oncoming traffic

while the wheel is being changed.

If the wheel is being changed on

a steep or badly surfaced road,

place wedges or other suitable

material under the wheels to

stop the vehicle.

The spare wheel is vehicle-spe-

cific. Never use the wheel on oth-

er models. Never fit other mod-

el spare wheels on your vehicle.

Catalysed vehicles must

not be bump started

(pushed, towed or coast-

ed down hill) as this could cause

fuel to flow into the catalytic ex-

haust system and damage it be-

yond repair.

Wheel changing and correct use of

the jack and spare wheel call for some

precautions as listed below.

Do not use the jack for

loads over the value indi-

cated on the plate.

The jack should only be used to

change a wheel on the vehicle for

which it was designed. It should

not be put to other uses or em-

ployed to raise other models of

vehicle. Under no circumstances

should it be used when carrying

out repairs under the vehicle.

An incorrectly positioned jack

may cause the vehicle to fall.

Remember that until

the engine has started the

brake booster and hy-

draulic power steering systems

will not work and a greater effort

will therefore be required to de-

press the brake pedal or turn the

steering wheel.

To change a wheel proceed as

follows:

2) Turn the engine off and pull up the

handbrake.

3 Engage first or reverse gear.

1) Stop the vehicle in a position that

is not dangerous for oncoming traffic

where you can change the wheel safe-

ly. The ground should be flat and ad-

equately firm.

come loose.

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 spare wheel

pressure regularly. The tyre in-

flation pressure is shown in sec-

tion “Technical specifications”.

4) Either move the left-hand front

seat back forwards (Fiat Doblò Car-

go versions) lifting lever A-fig. 2 and

take the tool bag shown in fig. 3 or lift

the rear seat (for Fiat Doblò Passen-

ger Transport versions) with lever B-

fig. 4 and take the bag shown in fig.

5. Take the bag to the wheel to be re-

placed.

5) Take the wheel removal wrench.

ty wire and remove the wheel.

11) Insert the handle and open the

jack so that groove A-fig. 9 on the

jack fits into the lower ribbing B on

several centimetres off the ground.

When turning the jack handle make

sure that it can be used easily and take

care not to scrape your hand against

the ground. The moving parts of the

jack (screw and joints) may also cause

injury if touched. Clean off any grease.

14) Remove the four wheel bolts are

15) 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.

17) Where relevant, take small

wheel cup and fasten the four fasten-

ing screws.

18) Turn the jack handle to lower

the vehicle and remove the jack.

19) Fasten bolts completely, work-

ing in a criss-cross fashion as shown in

fig. 11.

20) To versions with large wheel

cup, make symbol “ fig. 12 coincide

with the inflation valve. Fasten the four

bolts are shown in 19).

When you have finished

1) Arrange the wheel you have re-

placed in the specific housing under the

floor bed and secure the safety wire A-

fig. 14a into clip B.

2) Hook the top of support bracket

C-fig. 15 to the anchoring ring D and

tighten the support locking bolt fig. 6.

In certain Passengers Transport ver-

sions instead of the traditional spare

wheel, a space-saver spare wheel is

provided. For anchoring to support

proceed as follows:

– If the space-saver spare wheel is

used, the spacer pad cannot be refit-

ted on the outer side of the standard

wheel rim but it shall be stowed tem-

porarily in the luggage compartment.

– When fitting the space-saver spare

wheel back onto container, fit the

spacer tab on the outer side of the

rim, then position the space-saver

spare wheel with the outer side of the

rim fig. 14b facing upwards

– hook the lower side of the support

bracket C-fig. 16 to the anchoring

spring D and tighten the support bolt

fig. 6.

3) Put the jack and tools back in the

tool bag.

4) Rearrange the tool bag behind the

left-hand side seat (Fiat Dobló Cargo

versions) or under the rear seat (Fiat

Doblò Passengers Transport ver-

sions).

5) Fasten the bag with the elastic

band.

IMPORTANT Do not use inner

tubes with tubeless tyres.

Check the inflation pressure of the

tyres and the spare wheel regularly.

Use the extension shown in fig. 13

to fasten or loosen the inflation valve

cap.

gine and fit plug D-fig. 16e into the

nearest current outlet and then turn

on the compressor by setting switch

E-fig. 16f to I (on). Inflate the tyre to

the pressure specified in paragraph

“Inflation pressure” in section “Tech-

nical Specifications”. Check tyre pres-

pecially when cornering. Do not

exceed 80 km/h. Avoid heavy

braking and accelerating.

– if reaching the tyre pressure spec-

ified in paragraph “Inflation pressure”

in section “Technical Specifications”,

start driving immediately;

– if after 5 minutes it is still impossi-

ble to reach at least 1.5 bar, disengage

compressor from valve and current

outlet, then move the vehicle forth for

approx. ten metres in order to dis-

tribute the sealing fluid inside the tyre

FOR CHECKING AND

RESTORING PRESSURE

matic cannot guarantee proper

hold because the tyre is too

much damaged. Contact Fiat

Dealership.

The compressor can be also used

just for restoring pressure. Disconnect

the quick connection and connect it

directly to the tyre valve; in this way

the cylinder is not connected to com-

pressor and the sealing fluid will not

flow into the tyre.

– if at least 1.8 bar pressure is read,

restore proper pressure (with engine

running and handbrake on) and

restart;

– drive with the utmost care to the

nearest Fiat Dealership.
