Replacing A Wheel - Alfa Romeo MiTo Owner's Manual

REPLACING A WHEEL

GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
The vehicle is equipped with the"Fix&Go automatic kit": to use
this device see the paragraph entitled "Fix&Go Automatic Kit".
As an alternative to the "Fix&Go Automatic Kit" the vehicle can be
provided with a small spare wheel: see the instructions on the fol-
lowing pages for changing the wheels.
The small spare wheel is specific to the vehicle: do
not use it on different vehicle models or use spare
wheels from other models on your car. The small
spare wheel must only be used in an emergency. Never
use it longer than strictly necessary and never exceed 80
km/h. On the small spare wheel there is a label, sum-
marizing the main warnings about the small spare wheel
usage restrictions. Never remove or cover the label. Nev-
er apply any hub cap to the small spare wheel.
IN AN EMERGENCY
Indicate that the car is stationary according to the
laws in force: emergency lights, refracting warn-
ing triangle, etc. Passengers should leave the car,
particularly if it is heavily loaded, and wait for the wheel
to be changed away from on-coming traffic. In the event
of a wheel change on a slope or on unsurfaced roads,
chock the rear wheels.
