IF A TYRE
IS PUNCTURED
Follow the instructions on this and
the following pages to use the jack
and the spare wheel correctly.
Signal the presence of
the stopped car according
to the laws in force: haz-
ard lights, reflecting triangle, etc.
Passengers should get out of the
car and stay clear from oncoming
traffic while the wheel is being
changed.
274
If the wheel is being
changed on a steep or
badly
surfaced
place wedges or other suitable
material under the wheels to stop
the car from moving.
Have
the
punctured
repaired and fitted back as soon
as possible. Do not lubricate the
bolt threads before fitting them
back: they could come loose.
Wheel bolts are specific
for the type of rim (alloy
or steel) fitted. Never use,
also if in an emergency, wheel
bolts for another type of rim.
When changing rims (alloy rims
instead of steel ones or vice
versa), also the whole wheel bolt
set shall be changed with other
bolts specific for the new type of
rim adopted.
The jack should only be
used to change a wheel on
road,
the car for which it was
designed. It should not be put to
other uses or employed to raise
other models of car. Under no
tyre
circumstances should it be used
when carrying out repairs under
the car.
An incorrectly positioned jack
may cause the car to fall.
Do not use the jack to lift loads
exceeding those indicated on the
label attached to the jack itself.
The wheel cap may fly off when
the car is moving if it is not fas-
tened correctly. Never tamper
with the inflation valve. Do not
insert tools between the rim and
the tyre.
Check the tyre and spare wheel
pressure regularly. Tyre pressure
is shown in the "Technical
Specifications" chapter.
