REPLACING A WHEEL The vehicle is originally equipped with the Fix&Go automatic quick tyre repair kit (see instructions in the next section). As an alternative to Fix&Go Automatic, the vehicle may have a normal-sized spare wheel. Wheel changing and correct use of the jack and spare wheel call for some precautions, as listed below. 121) 122) 123) 124) Note for one-way tyres One-way tyres have a few arrows on the side indicating the rotation direction. If a wheel is changed (when punctured, for example) the direction of the arrows on the spare wheel tyre may not coincide with the rotation direction of the wheel to be replaced. In these conditions, too, the tyre still maintains its safety features. Anyway, it is recommended to have the wheel repaired and refitted as soon as possible, as the best performance is achieved when the rotation direction of all tyres coincides with the one indicated by the arrows. JACK Please note that: the jack weight is 4 kg; the jack requires no adjustment; the jack cannot be repaired and in the event of a fault it must be replaced by another genuine one; no tool other than its cranking device may be fitted on the jack. WHEEL REPLACEMENT PROCEDURE To change a wheel, proceed as follows: stop the vehicle 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 and pull the handbrake; engage first gear or reverse; before getting out of the vehicle, put on the reflective safety jacket (if required by the regulations in force); In any case, follow the road safety laws in force in the country where you are driving. indicate that the vehicle has broken down using the devices required by the law in the current country (e.g. warning triangle, hazard lights, etc.); for Cargo versions fig. 178: move the left front seat forward and operate lever A to access the tool bag; take it to the wheel that needs replacing; |
