Fiat 500L 2013 Owner's Handbook Manual page 322

Alert other drivers that the car is
stationary in compliance with local
regulations: hazard warning lights, warning
triangle, etc. Any passengers on board should
leave the car, especially if it is heavily laden.
Passengers should stay away from on-coming
traffic while the wheel is being changed. If you
are on a slope or uneven surface, place the
wedge provided under the wheels (see the
instructions on the next pages).
The vehicle's driving characteristics will
be modified with the space-saver wheel
fitted. Avoid violent acceleration and braking,
abrupt steering and fast cornering.The overall
duration of the space-saver wheel is of about
3000 km, after which the relevant tyre must be
replaced with another one of the same type.
Never install a standard tyre on a rim that is
designed for use with a space-saver wheel. Have
the wheel repaired and refitted as soon as
possible. Using two or more small space-saver
wheels at the same time is forbidden. Do not
grease the threads of the stud bolts before
fitting them: they might slip out.

WARNING
WARNING
WARNING
The jack shall only be used for raising
the car model it has been supplied with.
Never use the jack for other purposes, such as
raising other car models. Never use the jack for
repair operations under the vehicle. Incorrectly
positioning of the jack may cause the car to fall.
Do not use the jack for loads higher than the
one shown on its label.The space-saver wheel
cannot be fitted with snow chains. If a front
(drive) tyre is punctured and chains are needed,
use a standard wheel from the rear axle and
install the space-saver wheel on the rear axle. In
this way, with two normal drive wheels at the
front axle, it is possible to use snow chains.
WARNING
Incorrectly fitting the wheel cap may
cause it to fall off when the vehicle is in
motion. Never tamper with the inflation valve.
Never introduce tools of any kind between rim
and tyre. Check tyre and space-saver wheel
pressures regularly, complying with the values
given in the "Wheels" paragraph.
