FIAT Panda - Manual (Page 144)

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. On hills
or uneven roads, use chocks or appropriate
objects to block the wheels of the vehicle.
WARNING
The vehicle's driving characteristics will
be modified with the space-saver wheel
fitted. Avoid sudden starting or stopping, sharp
or fast turns.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 attempt to fit a conventional
tyre on a rim designed for use as a space-saver
wheel. Have the tire repaired and refitted as
soon as possible.Two or more space-saver
wheels should never be used together. Do not
grease the threads of bolts before fitting them:
they might slip out.
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.
