184 F0T0925
position the wheel vertically and rest
the fitted adaptor on the inside of the
rim, then using the screws provided
fix the wheel to the adaptor fig. 185.
Tighten the screws with the wheel
spanner;
185 F0T0926
check that the position of the
replaced wheel under the platform is
correct (the lifting system is equipped
with a clutch to limit the end of the
stroke, incorrect positioning may
jeopardise safety);
lift the wheel by fastening the bolt (A)
fig. 176;
put jack and tools back in the
specific tool bag;
reposition the tool bag behind the
left seat (Cargo versions) or in the boot
(Combi versions);
secure the tool box to the hooks.
WARNING
121)
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.
122)
It is extremely dangerous to attempt
to change a wheel on the side of the
vehicle next to the driving lane: make sure
that the vehicle is at a sufficient distance
from the road, to avoid being run over.
123)
The spare wheel (for
versions/markets, where provided) is
specifically for your vehicle. Therefore, it
must not be used on other models. Do
not use spare wheels of other models on
your vehicle. The spare wheel must be
used only in an emergency. Use of the
spare wheel must be strictly reduced to
the necessary minimum.
124)
Use your hazard lights, warning
triangle, etc to show that your vehicle is
stationary. Passengers should get out
of the vehicle, particularly if it is heavily
loaded, and wait for the wheel to be
changed away from the traffic. If you
are on a slope or uneven surface, place
wedges or other suitable objects under
the wheels to secure the vehicle. Have
the wheel repaired and refitted as soon as
possible. Do not apply grease to the bolt
threads before fitting: they could come
unscrewed.
125)
The jack is a tool developed and
designed only for changing a wheel, if a
tyre gets punctured or damaged, on the
vehicle with which it is supplied or on other
vehicles of the same model. Any other
use, e.g. to jack up other vehicle models
or different things, is strictly prohibited.
Never use it to carry out maintenance 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
