Instructions for Installing the Spare Wheel

Model: Fiat 500 312 - Years 2007-2024
Part: Tires

Many new generation cars no longer come with a spare wheel but are supplied with a puncture repair kit, and the spare wheel has been included in the accessory line: consider the savings for manufacturers no longer needing to provide a rim, tyre, and tool kit. That said, if you need to install the spare wheel, proceed as follows: retrieve the tool kit from under the driver's seat; open the boot and use the wheel nut key to lower the spare wheel; loosen the nuts of the wheel to be replaced before lifting the vehicle; apply the jack at the point indicated by the arrow and lift the vehicle to remove the wheel and install the spare; once the vehicle is lowered, tighten the nuts.
