The overall duration of the space-saver

wheel is about 3000 km, after which the

relevant tyre must be replaced with another

one of the same type. Never install a

traditional tyre on a rim designed to be

used as a space-saver wheel. Have the

wheel repaired and refitted as soon as

possible. Using two or more space-saver

wheels at the same time is forbidden.

53) 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.

145) 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 for maintenance or repair activities

under the car or to exchange the

adhesive label on the spray bottle A,

with the message "max. 80 km/h" to

be placed where the driver can easily

see it (for example on the dashboard)

after repairing the tyre;

possible to have the correct tightening

of the wheel bolts checked.

Never go under the raised vehicle. If any

work under the vehicle is necessary,

contact the Fiat Service Network. Incorrect

positioning of the jack may cause the

raised vehicle to fall: use 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.

temperatures between -40°C and +50°C. It

is possible to repair tyres which have

been damaged on tread up to a diameter

of 4mm; however, tyres damaged on

their side cannot be repaired. Before using

Fix&Go kit, ensure that the tyre isn't

excessively damaged and that the rim is in

good condition, otherwise do not use it

and call roadside assistance. Do not

remove foreign bodies from the tyre. Do

not let the compressor turned on for more

than 20 consecutive minutes - overheating

hazard.

If the pressure is equal to or higher

than 1.8 bar / 26 psi, switch on the

compressor to reach the required

pressure. Disconnect and replace the

kit in the specific compartment. Drive

carefully to a specialist or the
