– Work the jack and raise the car, until

the wheel is a few centimetres above

ground.

– Completely unscrew the fastening

bolts (A-fig. 16) and remove the

wheel.

– Make sure that the wheel to be in-

stalled is clean and free of impurities on

the hub contact surface which could cause

slackening of the fastening bolts later.

– Install the wheel making the hub pin

(A-fig. 10) coincide with one of the

holes (B-fig. 11) of the wheel.

– Tighten the five fastening bolts (A-

fig. 17).

For cars with alloy rims it is easier to in-

sert the wheel bolts using the specific

centering pin.

– Screw the centering pin (A-fig. 18)

in one of the fastening bolt holes.

– Push the wheel on the pin and fasten

it with four bolts.

– Remove the centering pin (A-fig. 19)

and screw the last fastening bolt.

– Lower the car and remove the jack

(fig. 20).

– Completely tighten the bolts in the se-

quence shown (fig. 21).

– If present, fit the hub cap so that the

valve can come out through the tapered

hole. Press the edges of the hub cap s-

tarting from near the valve hole (A-

fig. 22) and proceeding round until it is

securely attached.

IMPORTANT Incorrect fitting might

cause the wheel cap to come off when

the car is on the move.

After refitting a wheel:

– Stow the spare wheel in the space

provided in the luggage compartment and

fasten it with the ring nut (A-fig. 2).
