146) If the hub cap is not fitted correctly, it

may come off when the car is travelling.

Never tamper with the inflation valve. Never

introduce tools of any kind between rim

and tyre. Check tyre and space-saver

braking, abrupt steering and fast cornering.

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.

Do not apply grease to the bolt threads

before fitting: they could come unscrewed.

WARNING

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.

one cartridge A containing sealant

and fitted with: transparent tube for

injecting the sealant D and sticker

C with the wording “Max 80 km/h” to

be placed in a clearly visible position

(e.g. on the dashboard) after repairing

the tyre;

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

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

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.

54) Contact a Fiat Dealership as soon as

possible to have the correct tightening

of the wheel bolts checked.
