FIAT 500 - Manual (Page 132)

WARNING
The jack may be used to replace wheels
only on the car that it comes with or
other cars of the same model. Never use the
jack for other purposes, such as lifting other car
models. Never use the jack to carry out repairs
under the car. Incorrect positioning of the
jack may cause the jacked car to fall. Do not
use the jack for loads higher than the one
shown on its label.
WARNING
Snow chains cannot be fitted to the
space-saver wheel. So, if a front (drive)
wheel is punctured and chains are needed, a
rear wheel should be fitted to the front of the
car and the space-saver wheel should be fitted
to the rear. In this way, equipped with two
normal drive wheels at the front, they can be
fitted with snow chains, thus resolving the
emergency situation.
WARNING
If the hub cap is not fitted correctly, it
may come off when the car is travelling.
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 "Technical specifications" chapter.
JACK
Please note that:
❒ the jack weight is 1,76 kg;
