– Fully tighten the bolts in the sequence
shown in fig. 8, without refitting the cap.
REFITTING A NORMAL WHEEL
– Following the procedure described previously,
raise the car and remove the spare
wheel.
For versions with steel rims:
– Fit a normal wheel bearing in mind that
the pin (B-fig.7) must match one of the
holes (A-fig.7).
– Make sure that the contact surfaces of
the compact spare wheel with the hub are
clean and free of impurities which may latter
cause the fastening bolts to slacken.

– Screw the fastening bolts.
– Tighten the bolts following the order previously
described for the compact spare
wheel fig. 7.
– Place the cap near the wheel so that the
inflating valve can come out through the
countersunk hole. Press the wheel circumference
starting from the area next to the
valve countersunk hole until it is completely
inserted.
WARNING Incorrect fitting might cause
the wheel cap to come off when the car is
on the move.
For cars with alloy rims:
– Tighten the pin (A-fig. 9) in one of
the fastening bolt holes.
– Fit the wheel on the pin and fasten it
with four bolts.
– Remove the centering pin (A-fig. 9)
and tighten the last bolt.
– Lower the car and remove the jack; then
tighten the bolts as described previously for
the spare wheel (fig. 7).
After refitting the wheel:
– stow the spare wheel in the space provided
in the luggage compartment;
– insert the jack in its container forcing it
lightly to prevent it from vibrating during
travelling;
– place the tools used in the housings provided
on the support;
– place the tool container on the spare
wheel and secure everything with the clamping
device (A-fig. 2).
