KNOWING YOUR CAR
IN AN
EMERGENCY
Use your hazard lights,
warning triangle, etc to
show that your car is stationary.
Passengers should get out of the
car, particularly if it is heavily
loaded, and wait for the wheel to
be changed away from the traffic.
If parked on a slope or rough
surface, chock the wheels with
wedges or other suitable devices.
The driving features of the car may
change when a space-saver wheel
is fitted. Avoid sudden acceleration
and braking, sudden steering and
fast cornering. The total life of
a space-saver wheel is approximately
3000 km, after which it must be
replaced by another wheel of the
same type. Never attempt to fit
a conventional tyre on a rim
designed for use as a space-saver
wheel. Have the punctured wheel
repaired and replaced as soon as
possible. Two or more space-saver
wheels should never be used
together. Do not apply grease to
the bolt threads before assembly:
they might spontaneously unscrew.
WARNING
The jack may be used to
replace wheels only on the
car that it comes with or other cars
of the same model. Never use
the jack for other purposes, such as
lifting other car models. In no case
should it be used for repairs under
the car. Incorrect positioning of
the jack may cause the jacked car
to fall. Do not use the jack for
loads higher than those shown on
the label. Snow chains cannot be
fitted to the space-saver wheel.
So, if a front (drive) wheel is
punctured and chains are needed,
a rear wheel should be fitted to
the front of the car and the space-
saver wheel should be fitted to the
rear. This way with two standard
drive wheels at the front, snow
chains can be fitted to them
to solve an emergency.
The jack supplied with the vehicle
must be used only to change
a wheel in an emergency.
WARNING
Fit the wheel cap correctly
to prevent it from coming
free in motion.
Never tamper with the inflation valve.
Never introduce tools of any kind
between the rim and the tyre.
Check tyre and spare wheel
pressures regularly, referring to
the values shown in the “Technical
specifications” section.
WARNING
JACK

❒
the jack weights 1.76 kg;
❒
the jack requires no adjustment;
❒
the jack cannot be repaired.

with a new jack;
❒
no tool other than its cranking device
may be fitted on the jack.
