FIAT Panda - Manual (Page 137)

WARNING
The jack provided is only intended to be
used for replacing tyres on the vehicle
with which it is supplied, or on same-model
vehicles. Never use the jack for other purposes,
such as lifting other car models. Never use it
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 those shown on the label. Never
install snow chains on the space-saver wheel; if
a front tyre (driving wheel) is punctured and
you need to use snow chains, 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, it is possible to
use snow chains.
WARNING
Fit the wheel cap correctly to prevent it
from coming free 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,
referring to the values shown in the "Technical
specifications" section.
JACK
Important notes:
❒ the jack weight is 1.76 kg;
❒ the jack requires no adjustment;
❒ the jack cannot be repaired and in the event of a
fault it must be replaced by another original one;
❒ no tool other than its cranking device may be
fitted on the jack.
To change a wheel proceed as follows:
❒ stop the car in a position that is not dangerous for
oncoming traffic where you can change the wheel
safely. The ground must be flat and sufficiently
compact;
❒ switch off the engine, pull up the handbrake and
engage the 1 st gear or the reverse gear. Wear the
reflective safety jacket (compulsory by law in
certain countries) before getting out of the car;
❒ open the luggage compartment, pull tab A fig. 101
and lift up the mat;
❒ using the wrench A fig. 102 located in the tool
box, loosen the locking device, take the tool box B
and place it close to the wheel to be replaced.
Then take the space-saver wheel C;
❒ take the wrench A fig. 103 and loosen the fixing
bolts by about one turn. For versions with alloy
rims, shake the car to facilitate detachment of the
rim from the wheel hub.
❒ position the jack under the car, near the wheel to
be changed;
