SNOW TYRESUse snow tyres of the same size as the normal
tyres provided with the car.
A Fiat Dealership will be happy to provide advice
concerning the most suitable type of tyre for
the customer's requirements.
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 specifications".
The winter features of these tyres are reduced
considerably 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. Their usage should therefore
be restricted in accordance with their type
approval.IMPORTANT When using snow tyres with a
maximum speed index below the one that can be
reached by the car (increased by 5%), place a notice
in the passenger compartment, plainly in view,
which states the maximum speed allowed by the
snow tyres (as per EC Directive).
All four tyres should be the same (brand and track)
to ensure greater safety when driving and braking
and better driveability.
Remember that you should not change the rotation
direction of the tyres.
WARNING
The maximum speed for snow tyres
marked âQâ is 160 km/h, while it is 190
km/h for âTâ tyres and 210 km/h for "H" tyres.
You should, however, always stick to the speed
limits of the Road Traffic Code.
