SNOW TYRESUse snow tyres of the same size as the normal tyres pro-
vided with the car.
Fiat Dealership will be happy to provide advice concern-
ing the most suitable type of tyres for the customer’s re-
quirements.
For the type of tyre to be used, inflation pressures and the
specifications of snow tyres, follow the instructions given
in paragraph “Wheels” in section “Technical specifica-
tions”.
The winter features of these tyres are reduced consider-
ably when the tread depth is below 4 mm. Replace them
in this case.
Due to snow tyre features, under normal conditions of
use or on long motorway journeys, the performance of
these tyres is much lower than that of standard tyres. Lim-
it performance according to the use for which they were
certified.
IMPORTANT When snow tyres are used with a max.
speed index below the one that can be reached by the
car (increased by 5%), place a notice in the passenger’s
compartment, plainly in the driver’s view which states the
max. permissible speed of the snow tyres (as per EC
Directive).
The max. speed of snow tyres with “Q”
marking is 160 km/h. The Highway Code
speed limits must however be always complied
with.
WARNING
All four tyres should be the same (brand and track) to
ensure greater safety when driving and braking and bet-
ter driveability.
Remember that it is inappropriate to change the rotation
direction of tyres.

EOBD ENGINE CONTROL SYSTEM FAILURE
Under standard conditions, when the ignition key is moved
to MAR, the warning light turns on and should go off after
engine start-up. The initial switching-on indicates that the
warning light is working properly. If the warning light ei-
ther stays on or comes on while travelling:
❒switched on steadily: it signals a failure in the supply/
ignition system which could cause high emissions at the
exhaust, possible lack of performance, poor handling
and high consumption levels.
On some versions the display shows the dedicated message.
Under these conditions, you may continue travelling at
moderate speed without demanding excessive effort from
the engine. Prolonged use of the car with the warning light
on may cause damages. Contact a Fiat Dealership as soon
as possible. The warning light goes off if the failure disap-
pears, but it is still stored by the system.
❒flashing: it indicates the possibility of damage to the cat-
alytic converter (see “EOBD system” in section “Know
your vehicle”).
If the warning light flashes, it is necessary to release the ac-
celerator pedal to lower the speed of the engine until the
warning light stops flashing; continue the journey at mod-
erate speed, trying to avoid driving conditions that may
cause further flashing and contact Fiat Dealership as soon
as possible.
If, turning the ignition key to MAR, the
warning light Udoes not turn on or if it
turns on steadily or flashing when travelling
(on certain versions together with the message on
the display), contact a Fiat Dealership as soon as
possible. The operation of the warning light Umay
be checked by the traffic control authorities using
specific devices. Always comply with the traffic
regulations in force in the country where you are
driving.

REPLACING A WHEELGENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
The car can be delivered (upon request/where provided)
with standard spare wheel or space-saver wheel; see
changing instructions on the following paragraphs. Wheel
changing and correct use of the jack and spare wheel call
for some precautions as listed below.
The space-saver wheel (where provided) is
specific to your car, do not use it on other
models, nor use the spare wheel of other models
on your car. The space-saver wheel must only be
used in case of emergency. It shall only be used for
the distance necessary to reach a service point and
the car speed shall not exceed 80 km/h. The spare
wheel has an orange sticker that summarises the
main cautions for use and limitations. The sticker
should never be removed or covered. Never apply
a wheel cup on a space-saver wheel. The sticker
gives the following information in four languages:
Caution! For temporary use only! 80 km/h max.!
Replace by standard wheel as soon as possible. Do
not cover this label in use. If you change the type
of wheel (alloy rims instead of steel rims) you will
have to change the entire set of fastening bolts with
another set of suitably sized bolts.
WARNING
Alert other drivers that the car is station-
ary in compliance with local regulations:
hazard warning lights, warning triangle, etc. Any
passengers on board should leave the car, espe-
cially if it is heavily laden. Passengers should stay
away from on-coming traffic while the wheel is
being changed. If parked on a slope or rough sur-
face, chock the wheels with wedges or other suit-
able devices.
WARNING
The driving features of the car may change
when a space-saver wheel is fitted. Avoid
sudden acceleration and braking, sudden steering
and fast cornering. The total life of a space-saver
wheel is approximately 3000 km, after which it
must be replaced by another wheel of the same
type. Never attempt to fit a conventional tyre on
a rim designed for use as a space-saver wheel.
Have the punctured wheel repaired and replaced
as soon as possible. Two or more space-saver
wheels should never be used together. Do not
grease the threads of bolts before installing them:
they might slip out.

Please note that:❒
the jack weights 1.76 kg;
❒
the jack requires no adjustment;
❒
the jack cannot be repaired. If it breaks it must be re-
placed with a new jack;
❒
no tool other than its cranking device may be fitted on
the jack.
To change a wheel proceed as follows:
❒
stop the car in a position so that it is not a danger for
on-coming traffic and where you can replace the wheel
safely. The ground must be flat and compact;
❒
turn the engine off and pull up the handbrake.
❒
engage the first gear or reverse;
❒
lift the boot mat A-fig. 121;
Fasten the wheel cup correctly to prevent
the wheel from coming free in motion.
Never tamper with the inflation valve. Never in-
troduce tools of any kind between rim and tyre.
Regularly check tyre and space-saver wheel pres-
sure, complying with the data in the chapter
“Technical specifications”.
WARNING
The jack shall only be used for changing
wheels on the car with which it is provid-
ed or on cars of the same model. Never use the
jack for other purposes, such as lifting other car
models. In no case should it be used for repairs un-
der the car. Incorrect positioning of the jack may
cause the jacked car to fall. Do not use the jack
for loads higher than those shown on the label.
Snow chains cannot be fitted to the space-saver
wheel. So, if a front (drive) wheel is punctured and
chains are needed, a rear wheel should be fitted
to the front of the car and the space-saver wheel
should be fitted to the rear. This way with two
standard drive wheels, snow chains can be fitted
to them to solve an emergency.

of the jack (screws and joints) can cause injuries: avoid
to touch them. Clean off any lubricating grease;

At the end of the procedure❒
stow the space-saving wheel D-fig. 122 in the space pro-
vided in the boot;
❒
fit the partially-open jack in its box C by forcing it slight-
ly to prevent it from vibrating when travelling;
❒
put the tools back into their locations;
❒
arrange the container and tools in the spare wheel and
secure the clamping device B;
❒
correctly reposition the boot stiff cover.
IMPORTANT Do not use inner tubes with tubeless tyres.
Check the inflation pressure of the tyres and the space-
saving wheel regularly.
IMPORTANT You will need to change the set of bolts if
you want to change the type of wheels fitted (alloy rims
instead of steel rims, and vice versa).The whole set of fas-
tening bolts must be replaced by another set of suitably
sized bolts and use a special space-saving wheel having dif-
ferent building characteristics.
You should keep the bolts and space-saving wheel in case
you decide to use the original type of wheel later on.
