TPMS FIAT 124 SPIDER 2017 2.G User Guide

Note:If the tire has been over
inflated, loosen the screw cap on the air
compressor and bleed some of the air
out.
20. When the tire inflates to the
specified tire inflation pressure, turn the
air compressor switch off, turn the
sleeve of the air compressor hose to
the left, and pull it out of the tire valve.
21. Install the tire valve cap.
22. Place the tire service kit back into
its storage location.
23. Start driving immediately to spread
the sealant in the tire.
Note:
Carefully drive the vehicle at a
speed of 50 mph (80 km/h) or less. If
the vehicle is driven at a speed of
50 mph (80 km/h) or more, the vehicle
may vibrate.
With TPMS system: if the tire is not
properly inflated, thewarning light
will illuminate.
After driving the vehicle for about
10 minutes or three miles (5 km),
connect the air compressor to the tire
using Step 9 of the procedure, and
check the tire inflation pressure using
the tire pressure gauge on the air
compressor. If the tire inflation pressure
is lower than the specified tire inflation
pressure, turn the air compressor on and wait until it reaches the specified
tire inflation pressure;
The emergency flat tire repair is
completed successfully if the tire
inflation pressure does not decrease.
Carefully drive the vehicle to the
nearest Authorized Dealer and have
the flat tire replaced. Replacement with
a new tire is recommended. If the tire is
to be repaired or reused, contact a
Authorized Dealer.
If an emergency flat tire repair has
been performed using the tire service
kit, FCA recommends that the tire be
replaced with a new one as soon as
possible. If the tire is to be repaired or
reused, contact an Authorized Dealer.
The tire can be reused if the sealant
adhering to it is removed. However,
replace the valve with a new one.
Replacing The Bottle
Note: The tire sealant has a period of
effective use. Check the period of
effective use indicated on the bottle
label and do not use it if it has expired.
Have the tire sealant replaced at an
Authorized Dealer before the period of
effective use has expired.
Inspect the tire service kit at regular
intervals as well as the operation of the
tire compressor.
JUMP STARTING
Preparations For Jump
Starting
If the battery is discharged, a jump
starting can be performed using the
battery and the cables of another
vehicle, or using a booster battery.
Jump-starting is dangerous if done
incorrectly, so follow the procedure in
this section carefully. If you feel unsure
about jump-starting, it is strongly
recommend that you have a competent
service technician do the work.
Note: When a booster battery is being
used, comply with the utilization and
precaution instructions specified by the
manufacturer.
218
IN CASE OF EMERGENCY

Tire Rotation
Recommendations
The front and rear tires are subject to
different loads and stress due to
steering, maneuver and braking. For
this reason they are subject to uneven
wear. To resolve this problem, tires
should be rotated at the appropriate
time.
The following rotation methods must
NOT be used with one-way
unidirectional tires! This type of tires can
only be switched from the front axle to
the rear axle and vice versa, keeping
them on the same side of the vehicle.
Rotate one-way unidirectional tires
and radial tires that have an
asymmetrical tread pattern only from
front to rear, not from side to side. Tire
performance will be reduced if rotated
from side to side.
Tire rotation means moving the wheels
to a different position, with respect to
the vehicle. During rotation, inspect tires
for correct balance. The single wheel will therefore operate
on a different axle and, where possible,
on the opposite side of the vehicle.
Note:
Rotate tires periodically. Irregular tire
wear is dangerous. To equalize tread
wear for maintaining good
performance in handling and braking,
rotate the tires every 6,200 miles
(10,000 km), or sooner if irregular wear
develops.
To equalize tread wear, rotate the
tires every 7,500 miles (12,000 km) at
the latest or sooner if irregular wear
develops. FCA recommends to rotate
every 5,000 miles (8,000 km) to help
increase tire life and distribute wear
more evenly.
Because your vehicle is not
equipped with a spare tire, you cannot
do a tire rotation safely with the jack
that may come with your vehicle if so
equipped. Contact an Authorized
Dealer for tire rotation.
Also, inspect them for uneven wear and
damage. Abnormal wear is usually
caused by one or a combination of the
following:
Incorrect tire pressure
Improper wheel alignment
Out-of-balance wheel
Severe braking
After rotation, inflate all tire pressures to
specification and inspect the wheel nuts
for tightness.
With Tire Pressure Monitor System
(TPMS)
The TPM system must be initialized
after adjusting the tire pressure, to
make the system operate normally.
Refer to “Tire Pressure Monitoring
System Initialization” paragraph in
“Safety” chapter.
Rotate unidirectional tires and radial
tires that have an asymmetrical tread
pattern only from front to rear, not from
side to side. Tire performance will be
reduced if rotated from side to side.
