REPLACING A WHEEL
GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
Wheel changing and correct use of the jack and spare
wheel (for versions/markets, where provided) call for some
precautions as listed below.
Proceed as follows to start the car:
❒
raise the flap A to gain access to the battery positive
terminal fig. 152.
❒
connect the positive terminals (+ sign near terminal) of
both batteries using a lead;
❒
connect a second cable to the negative terminal (–) of
the auxiliary battery to the earth point as shown in
fig. 153;
❒
start the engine;
❒
when the engine has been started, follow the sequence
above in reverse order to remove the leads.
If after a few attempts the engine does not start, do not
insist but contact the nearest Fiat Dealership.
IMPORTANT Do not directly connect the negative terminals
of the two batteries: sparks could ignite the flammable gas from
the battery. If the auxiliary battery is installed on another ve-
hicle, avoid any metal parts on the latter and the vehicle with
the flat battery from accidentally coming into contact.
BUMP STARTING
Never bump start the engine by pushing, towing or driving
downhill. This could cause a flow of fuel into the catalytic
converter and damage it beyond repair.
IMPORTANT Remember that the brake servo and the
power steering system are not activated until the engine
is started, a greater effort will therefore be required to
press the brake pedal or turn the steering wheel.

INDEX
Indicate that the vehicle is stationary ac-
cording to the regulations in force: emer-
gency lights, refracting warning triangle, etc. Pas-
sengers should leave the vehicle, particularly if it
is very loaded, and wait for the wheel to be
changed away from on-coming traffic. Apply the
handbrake.
WARNING
The spare wheel (for versions/markets,
where provided) (where provided) is spe-
cific for your vehicle. Therefore, it must not be
used on vehicles of a different model. Do not use
spare wheels of different models on your vehicle.
Wheel bolts are specific to your vehicle: do not
use them on other models and do not use bolts
of other models.
