Changing A Wheel - Fiat Doblo Owner's Handbook Manual

CHANGING A WHEEL

The vehicle is originally equipped
with the Fix&Go automatic quick
tyre repair kit (see instructions in the
next section). As an alternative,
the vehicle may have a normal-sized
spare wheel.
Wheel changing and correct use of
the jack and spare wheel call for
some precautions, as listed below.

Note for one-way
tyres
One-way tyres have a few arrows on
the side indicating the rotation
direction. If a wheel is changed
(when punctured, for example) the
direction of the arrows on the spare
wheel tyre may not coincide with
the rotation direction of the wheel to
be replaced.
In these conditions, too, the tyre still
maintains its safety features.
Anyway, it is recommended to have
the wheel repaired and refitted as
soon as possible, as the best
performance is achieved when the
rotation direction of all tyres
coincides with the one indicated by
the arrows.
Please note that:
❒ the jack weight is 4 kg;
❒ the jack requires no adjustment;
❒ the jack cannot be repaired and in
the event of a fault it must be
replaced by another original one;
❒ no tool other than its cranking device
may be fitted on the jack.
To change a wheel, proceed as
follows:
❒ stop the vehicle in a position that is
not dangerous for oncoming traffic
where you can change the wheel
safely. The ground should be flat
if possible, and sufficiently firm;
❒ stop the engine and pull the
handbrake;
❒ engage first gear or reverse;
❒ wear the reflective safety jacket
(compulsory by law in certain
countries) before getting out of the
vehicle;
❒ indicate that the vehicle has broken
down using the devices required by
the law in the current country (e.g.
warning triangle, hazard lights, etc.);
❒ for Cargo versions fig. 180: move the
left front seat forward and operate
lever A to access the tool bag; take it
to the wheel that needs replacing;

❒ for Doblò/Doblò Combi versions fig.
181: open the rear doors, inside the
compartment on the rear right side,
take the tool bag, unhooking the
elastic band from the buckle, and
take it next to the wheel to be
changed;
❒ take wheel spanner B fig. 182 and
the extension with pentagonal fitting
C; inside the load area, fit extension
C on bolt A; use spanner B to lower
the wheel by unwinding the wire;
