Replacing A Wheel - Fiat 500 Owner's Handbook Manual

REPLACING A WHEEL

GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
The vehicle can be supplied (if request-
ed/provided for) with a normal spare
wheel or with a small spare wheel.
Wheel changing and correct use of the
jack and of the small spare wheel call for
some precautions as listed below.

WARNING
The small spare wheel (if
provided for) is specific for
your car. Do not use it on cars of dif-
ferent models. Do not use spare
wheels of different models on your
car. The small spare wheel must on-
ly be used in an emergency. Never use
it for more than strictly necessary and
never exceed 80 km/h. On the small
spare wheel there is an orange label,
summarizing the main warnings
about the small spare wheel usage re-
strictions. Never remove or cover the
label.
WARNING
Never apply any hub cap on
the small spare wheel. The
label contains the following indica-
tions in four languages: Warning! For
temporary use only! 80 km/h max!
Replace as soon as possible with a
standard service wheel. Never cover
this indication.
If you choose to install wheels of a
different type (with alloy rims instead
of the steel ones) you must change all
the fixing bolts with other of a suit-
able size.
