Technical Lifting Points To Change Tires

[Because36678]

anyone know where the lifting/jacking points are located on the 2024 fiat 500e? No information was in the owners manual about where to lift the car on a jack to change tires

Hi. They're unusually (IMO) recessed. You can see them on the diagram below, although it doesn't give you a clear picture of how difficult it might be to use them on a road side flat tyre replacement situation:

I had a hard time recently to take out one of the front wheels as none of the jacks I have could easily fit under the car. My 2ton hydraulic didn't fit at all while the handle of a mechanical one I keep in my other car, just in case, is too short to clear the sill/body and allow a full rotation. It took me half an hour to turn it in very small increments. Nightmarish ...

With the help of IgptsxI’s post, I was able to change my tires on my Fiat 500e using the lift points in his picture. While I was doing this, I noticed that the underside of the car’s body does have jacking point indicators (little triangular arrows) pointing to the lifting spots. The first two pictures below show the lift point indicator and lifting point for the rear driver-side tire of the Fiat. The last three pictures show the lift point indicators and lifting points for the front driver-side tire. You can also see the type of trolley jack that I used, which was able to easily access the recessed lift points. In the front tire pictures, I also cushioned the top of the jack with a hockey puck to easily reach the recessed lift points.
