between standard wheel and hub are

clean so that the fastening bolts will not

come loose;

For versions with hub caps

fastened with bolts only: fit the

standard wheel by inserting the first

bolt by two threads into the hole

closest to the inflation valve. Then fit

the hub cap, aligning the crescent hole

with the bolt already fitted, then fit the

other bolts.

without holes for wheel fastening

studs only: fit the standard wheel

and insert the fastening bolts without

tightening them;

using the wrench provided, tighten

the fastening bolts;

lower the car and remove the jack;

use the wrench provided to fully

tighten the bolts, passing alternately

from one bolt to the opposite one.

For versions with hub caps without

holes for wheel fastening studs

only:

use the wrench provided to fasten

the bolts completely in a criss-cross

fashion as shown in fig. 186;

once the standard wheel has been

fitted, insert the press-fit hubcap,

in terms of grip, noise, resistance to

wear and drainage on wet surfaces.

If, after a puncture, it is necessary

to fit such a tyre the wrong way

round, it will be necessary to continue

driving with great care, since the

tyre’s performance is limited in these

conditions. This precaution must be

borne in mind above all when the road

surface is wet.

engage the hub cap by applying an

axial force in several points as shown

in fig. 189 to allow the correct coupling

between hub cap and wheel.

use the wrench provided to fully

tighten the bolts, passing alternately

from one bolt to the opposite one;

reinsert the press-fitted hub cap,

making sure that the reference hole on

the wheel is aligned with the reference

pin on the cap.

NOTE If it is not fitted correctly, the

hub cap may detach when the car is

running.

In order to benefit completely

from the unidirectional tread, it is

advisable to restore all wheels to the

correct direction of rotation as soon as

possible.

At the end of the operation

stow the space-saver wheel in the

compartment provided in the luggage

compartment;

insert the jack and the other tools in

the container;

188

08046J0010EM

arrange the container and tools on

the space-saver wheel;

IMPORTANT

correctly reposition the boot mat.

NOTE The hub cap cannot be fitted

to the space-saver wheel (for TIPO

5DOOR version).

147) 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.

148) It is extremely dangerous to attempt

to change a wheel on the side of the car

next to the driving lane: make sure that

the car is at a sufficient distance from the

road, to avoid being run over.

NOTE If replacing a wheel with alloy

rim, stove it temporarily into the spare

wheel compartment with the cosmetic

side facing upwards.

Versions with alloy rims

Proceed as follows:

WARNINGS

Tyres with unidirectional tread can

be recognised by arrows on the side

of the tyre which indicate the direction

of rotation. It is compulsory to comply

with this direction. Only in this way can

the tyres maintain their characteristics

insert the wheel on the hub and use

the spanner provided to tighten the

bolts;

149) Indicate the presence of the

stationary car in accordance with current

regulations: hazard warning lights, warning

triangle, etc. Those on board should get

out of the car, especially if it is heavily

laden, and wait for the wheel to be

replaced away from the threat posed by

the traffic.

exceed 80 km/h. "Warning! For temporary

use only! 80 km/h max!”. Replace with

standard wheel as soon as possible.

Never remove or cover the sticker on the

space-saver wheel. Never apply a wheel

cap on a space-saver wheel. The vehicle's

driving characteristics will be modified

with the space-saver wheel fitted. Avoid

violent acceleration and braking, abrupt

steering and fast cornering. The driving

characteristics of the car will be modified

with the space-saver spare wheel or spare

wheel fitted. Avoid violent acceleration

and 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

spare wheels or spare wheels at the same

time is forbidden. Do not apply grease to

the bolt threads before fitting: they could

come unscrewed.

58) Contact a Fiat Dealership as soon as

possible to have the correct tightening of

the wheel bolts checked.

150) The jack is a tool developed and

designed only for changing a wheel, if a

tyre gets punctured or damaged, on

the car with which it is supplied or on

other cars of the same model. It must

not be used, for example, to jack other

vehicle models or objects. Never use it

to carry out servicing or repairs under

the vehicle or to change summer/winter

wheels and vice versa: we advise you

to contact a Fiat Dealership. Never go

under the raised vehicle: 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 car only

as needed in order to access the spare

wheel.

151) 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.

152) Observe the following instructions if

the car is equipped with a spare wheel

smaller than the normal size (a 16” spare

wheel is provided with 17" and 18" tyres)

or a space-saver spare wheel. The space-

saver wheel (for versions/markets where

provided) is specific to your car, do not

use it on other models, or use the space-

saver wheel of other models on your car.

The space-saver wheel must only be used

in the event of an emergency. Never use it

for more than strictly necessary and never
