FIAT 500 - Manual (Page 131)

WARNING
On the space-saver wheel there is an
orange label, summarising the main
warnings regarding space-saver wheel usage
restrictions. Never remove or cover the label.
The following information is provided in four
languages on the label: "Important! For
temporary use only! 80 km/h max! Replace with
standard wheel as soon as possible. Never
cover this indication." Never apply a hub cap on
a space-saver wheel.
WARNING
If you change the type of wheel (alloy
rims instead of steel rims and vice versa)
you will have to change the entire set of
fastening bolts with another set of suitably sized
bolts.
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
parked on a slope or rough surface, chock the
wheels with wedges or other suitable devices.
WARNING
The driving features of the car may
change when a space-saver wheel is
fitted. Avoid violent acceleration and braking,
abrupt steering and fast cornering.The total life
of a space-saver wheel is approximately 3,000
km, after which it must be replaced by another
wheel of the same type. Never install a
traditional tyre on a rim designed to be used as
a space-saver wheel. Have the wheel repaired
and refitted as soon as possible. Using two
or more space-saver wheels at the same time is
forbidden. Do not apply grease to the bolt
threads before fitting: they could unscrew
themselves.
