FIAT 500L - Manual (Page 189)

WARNING
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 wheel (see the
instructions on the next pages).
WARNING
The vehicle's driving characteristics will
be modified with the space-saver wheel
fitted. Avoid sudden starting or stopping, sharp
or fast turns.The overall duration of the
space-saver spare 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.
Two or more space-saver wheels should never
be used together. Do not grease the threads
of wheel studs before fitting them: they might
slip out.
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 the jack may cause the vehicle 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 inflating 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 "Technical specifications" chapter.
