Fiat Punto: Refitting the standard wheel

Fiat Punto Owners Manual

Proceed as follows:

• Following the procedure described previously, raise the car and remove the spare wheel;
• Make sure the contact surfaces between wheel and hub are clean so that the fastening bolts will not come loose;
• Fit the standard wheel by inserting the first stud (B) for two threads in the hole closest to the inflation valve (A);
• for cars fitted with press-fit wheel cap, press the cap edge with your palms (without hitting it) against the wheel;
• Fit the wheel cap, making the symbol (on the back of the cap)
  coincide with the inflation valve and fit the other three bolts;
• Fasten bolts using the wrench provided;
• Lower the car and remove the jack;
• fasten the bolts in the order shown above.

IMPORTANT Incorrect fitting may cause the wheel cap to come off when the car is travelling.

When you have finished

• Stow the spare wheel in the space provided in the boot;
• Refit the jack in its support as shown on the tool container;
• Put the tools back into their places in the container;
• Stow the container complete with tools on the spare wheel;
• Fasten the tool container retainer (A).

  Use the extension shown in the figure to fasten or loosen the inflation valve.

IMPORTANT Do not use inner tubes with Tubeless tyres.
