If a tire gets a puncture

– Insert the wrench onto the jack and
rotate it until the wheel rises a few
inches off the ground.
– Loosen the 5 studs completely and
remove the wheel.
– Fit the spare wheel fixing it with the
5 studs just removed.
WARNING: The spare wheel must be
fitted using the studs that fix the
standard wheels.
– Turn the jack using the wrench to
lower the car and withdraw the jack.
– Fully tighten the studs as shown in
the illustration below, starting first
with one stud and then with the one
diagonally opposite and so on.
The spare wheel is narrower
than the standard ones and
must be used only to travel
the necessary distance to reach a
service station, where the punctured
tire can be repaired.
With the spare wheel fitted,
never exceed the maximum
speed of 50 mph (80 km/h);
exceeding this speed jeopardizes the
vehicle's stability, road holding and
braking. Avoid accelerating at full
throttle, braking sharply and
cornering at high speeds.
The inflating pressure for the
spare wheel must be 2.2 bar
(220 kPa - 31.9 psi).
For safety reasons, it is
absolutely forbidden to travel
with more than one spare
wheel fitted on the vehicle at the same
time.
Snow chains cannot be fitted
on spare wheels.
The maximum total life of the
spare wheel is approximately
1,860 mi. (3,000 km).
