flat tire FIAT 500L 2015 2.G Owner's Manual

TIRE PRESSURES
•Check the inflation pressure of each tire, at least monthly and inflate to the recom-
mended pressure for your vehicle.
•The tire pressures recommended for your vehicle are found on the “Tire and Loading
Information” label located on the driver’s side door opening.
NOTE:
Refer to the Owner's Manual on the DVD
for more information regarding tire warn-
ings and instructions.
WARNING!
•Overloading of your tires is dangerous.Overloading can cause tire failure, affect
vehicle handling, and increase your stopping distance.Use tires of the recom-
mended load capacity for your vehicle.Never overload them.
•Improperly inflated tires are dangerous and can cause collisions.Under-inflation is
the leading cause of tire failure and may result in severe cracking, component sepa-
ration, or “blow out”.Over-inflation reduces a tire’s ability to cushion shock.Ob-
jects on the road and chuck holes can cause damage that results in tire failure.
Unequal tire pressures can cause steering problems.You could lose control of your
vehicle.Over-inflated or under-inflated tires can affect vehicle handling and can fail
suddenly, resulting in loss of vehicle control.
