until the top splined area fits correctly
into the side member C of the car, next
to the
symbol on the side member
itself;
alert any bystander that the car is
about to be raised; all persons should
be kept away from the car and nobody
must touch it until it has been lowered;
use the wrench A to turn the jack
(clockwise) and raise the car until the
wheel is a few centimetres off the
ground;
with the wrench A, completely
unscrew the stud bolts and remove the
wheel with the puncture;
make sure the contact surfaces
between space-saver wheel and hub
are clean so that the mounting stud
bolts will not come loose;
to simplify fitting of the space-saver
spare wheel, screw the centring pin into
the highest hole in the wheel hub then
fit the wheel, screwing on the first stud
bolt by hand for at least two turns of
the thread;
remove the centring pin and screw
on the other stud bolts by hand;
using the wrench A, screw down all
the stud bolts.
turn the wrench A (anticlockwise) on
the hexagonal part of the jack to lower
the car, then extract the jack;
use the wrench A to fully tighten all
the stud bolts, working in a criss-cross
fashion as per the numerical sequence
illustrated in fig. 139;
place the wheel with the puncture in
the luggage compartment upside down
(with the finished side facing upwards),
then put the jack and the tools used
away in the correct positions;
replace the mat in the luggage
compartment, then return the
adjustable load platform to the level
position (see "Luggage Compartment"
section of the "Getting to know your
car" chapter);
Restore the standard wheel as soon as
possible, also because, since it is larger
than the space-saver spare wheel,
when it is placed in the relative
compartment the floor of the luggage
compartment becomes slightly uneven.
CHANGING A WHEEL
(versions with
subwoofer)
Versions with space-saver wheel
On these versions, the tools for

compartment.
In the case of a puncture, proceed as
follows:
open the luggage compartment and
then lift up the mat;
unscrew the locking device A
fig. 140, remove the space-saver spare
wheel B and fit it in place of the
punctured tyre, carrying out the
procedures described previously.
