154) 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 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. IMPORTANT
65) 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.
66) Contact a Fiat Dealership as soon as
possible to have the correct tightening of
the wheel bolts checked.
