Check tyre pressures
The symbol is shown on the display to indicate the flat
tyre. Should two or more tyres be flat, the display will
show the indications corresponding to each tyre in
sequence.
Restore correct tyre pressures as soon as possible (see
“Cold tyre pressures” in the “Technical specifications”
section).
Tyre pressure low
The symbol is shown on the display if the pressure of
one or more tyres drops below the preset level. In this
way the TPMS system warns the driver that one or
more tyres may be dangerously flat and liable to
puncture.
n
IMPORTANT Do not continue driving with one or
more flat tyres as handling may be compromised. Stop
the car, avoiding harsh braking or steering manoeuvres.
Repair using the dedicated kit (see the “Automatic
Fix&Go quick tyre repair kit” paragraph in the “In an
emergency” section) and contact an Abarth Dealership
as soon as possible.
Tyre pressure unsuitable for speed
Should travelling at a higher speed than 160 km/h be
required, inflate tyres to pressures values specified in
paragraph “Inflation pressures”.
If the TPMS system (where provided) detects that the
pressure of one or more tyres is unsuitable for the
current speed, the symbol will be shown on the display
together with the dedicated message (see paragraph
“Low tyre pressure” in this section) and it will stay on
until the car speed returns within the preset threshold.
IMPORTANT In this case, slow down immediately
because tyre overheating could compromise tyre
performance and durability beyond repair, and may even
make the tyre explode.
