WHAT TO DO IN EMERGENCIES
Be sure to mount the spare tire with the valve stem facing outward. The vehicle could
be damaged if the spare tire is mounted incorrectly.
NOTE:
• Your vehicle may be equipped with a
compact spare tire or a limited —
use spare tire. For further information
refer to "Tires — General Informa-
tion" in "Maintaining And Caring For
Your Vehicle" in your Owner' s Manual
on
www.fiatusa.com/en/owners/manuals
for further information.
• For vehicles so equipped, do not at-
tempt to install a center cap or wheel
cover on the compact spare.
8. Install the wheel bolts with the threaded
end of the wheel bolt toward the
wheel. Lightly tighten the wheel bolts.
To avoid the risk of forcing the vehicle off the jack, do not fully tighten the wheel bolts
until the vehicle has been lowered. Failure to follow this warning may result in serious
injury.
9. Lower the vehicle to the ground by turning the wheel bolt wrench counterclockwise.
10. Finish tightening the wheel bolts. Push down on the wrench while at the end of the
handle for increased leverage. Tighten the wheel bolts in a star pattern until each
wheel bolt has been tightened twice. The correct torque specification for the wheel
bolts is 89 Ft-Lbs (120 Nm). If in doubt about the correct tightness, have them
checked with a torque wrench by your authorized dealer or at a service station.
11. Securely stow the jack, tools, chocks and flat tire.
