IMPORTANT NOTES ABOUT
THE T.P.M.S. SYSTEM
Failure indications will not be stored and
therefore will not be displayed when turn-
ing the engine off and on again. If failure
persists, the control unit will send warn-
ing indications to the instrument panel on-
ly after a few seconds when the car is
moving.
IMPORTANT T.P.M.S. system cannot in-
dicate sudden tyre pressure drops (e.g.:
tyre burst). In this event, brake the car
cautiously and avoid sudden steering.
IMPORTANT Replacing standard tyres
with winter tyres and vice versa involves
T.P.M.S. system set-up that shall be per-
formed at Fiat Dealerships only.
IMPORTANT The T.P.M.S. system re-
quires special equipment. Consult Fiat
Dealership to know what type of acces-
sories are compatible with the system
(wheels, wheel caps, etc.). Using other ac-
cessories could cause system malfunc-
tioning.IMPORTANT Tyre pressure could change
according to outside temperature. For this
reason the T.P.M.S. system could tem-
porarily indicate low tyre pressure. In this
event check pressure with cold tyres and
restore proper inflation values if required.
IMPORTANT If the car is fitted with
T.P.M.S. system, tyre and/or rim removal
and refitting operations involve special
precautions; to prevent damages or wrong
sensor refitting, contact Fiat Dealership to
have tyre and/or rim changed.
IMPORTANT If the car is fitted with
T.P.M.S. system, when changing a tyre,
change also the rubber seal of the valve.
Contact a Fiat Dealership.
IMPORTANT Strong radiofrequency
noise may inhibit regular TPMS system op-
eration; in this event, a dedicated message
will be displayed to warn the driver. This
message will disappear automatically as
soon as noise disappears.SOUND SYSTEM
(where provided)
For the operation of the radio with
CD/MP3 CD (where provided), read the
instructions for use given in the Supple-
ment attached to the Owner Handbook.
Sound system (where provided)
The system includes:
❒2 tweeters (power 40W max. each),
located on front doors;
❒2 mid-woofers, (diameter 165 mm,
power 40W max. each), located on
front doors;
❒2 rear full-range speakers, (diameter
165 mm, power 40W max. each), lo-
cated on rear doors.

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).
All four tyres should be the same (brand
and track) to ensure greater safety when
driving and braking and better driveabili-
ty.
Remember that it is inappropriate to
change the direction of rotation of tyres.SNOW TYRES
Use snow tyres of the same size as the
normal tyres provided with the car.
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 para-
graph “Wheels” in section “Technical
specifications”.
The winter features of these tyres are re-
duced considerably when the tread depth
is below 4 mm. In this case, they should
be replaced.
Due to the snow tyre features, under nor-
mal conditions of use or on long motor-
way journeys, the performance of these
tyres is lower than that of normal tyres. It
is therefore necessary to limit their use to
the purposes for which they are certified.

The max speed for snow
tyres with “Q” marking is
160 km/h; 190 km/h for tyres with “T”
marking and 210 km/h for tyres with
H marking. The Road Traffic Code
speed limits must however be always
strictly observed.

OF THE CAR
IN AN
EMERGENCY
When driving with a space-
saver spare wheel fitted, the
driving performance of the car chan-
ges. Avoid accelerating or braking
sharply, abrupt turns or fast corne-
rings. The life of the spare wheel is
approx. 3000 Km, after this distance
it should be replaced with another of
the same type. Never attempt to fit
a conventional tyre on a rim designed
for use as a space-saver spare wheel.
Have the punctured wheel repaired
and refitted as soon as possible. Two
or more space-saver spare wheels
should never be used together. Do not
grease the threads of bolts before in-
stalling them: they might slip out.
WARNING
The jack shall only be used
for changing wheels on the
car with which it is provided or on
cars of the same model.
It must not be used for other purpo-
ses such as for instance raising cars of
other models. In no case should it be
used for repairs under the car. Incor-
rect positioning of the jack may cau-
se the jacked car to fall. Do not use
the jack for higher capacities than
stated on its label. Snow chains can-
not be fitted to the space-saver spa-
re 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 spare wheel
should be fitted to the rear. This way
with two normal drive wheels, snow
chains can be fitted to them to solve
an emergency.
WARNING
Fasten the wheel cap cor-
rectly to prevent the wheel
from coming free in motion. Never
tamper with the inflation valve. Ne-
ver place tools between the rim and
tyre. Check and restore, if required,
the pressure of tyres and spare wheel
to the values given in section “Tech-
nical Specifications”.

In fact, since these devices continue ab-
sorbing energy even when the ignition key
is off, they gradually run down the battery.
The total intake of these systems (facto-
ry and after-market) must be less than 0,6
mA x Ah (of the battery) as shown in the
following table:
IMPORTANT NOTES
❒As far as possible, avoid sharp brak-
ing and screech starts, etc. Be careful
not to hit the kerb, potholes or oth-
er obstacles hard. Driving for long
stretches over bumpy roads can dam-
age the tyres;
❒Periodically check that the tyres have
no cuts in the side wall, abnormal
swelling or irregular tyre wear. If any
of these occur, have the car seen to at
a Fiat Dealership;
❒Avoid overloading the car when trav-
elling: this may cause serious damage
to the wheels and tyres;

(*) Versions fitted with alarm.
WHEELS AND TYRES
Check the pressure of each tyre, includ-
ing the spare, every two weeks and before
long journeys. The pressure should be
checked with the tyre rested and cold.
For the correct tyre inflation pressure, see
“Wheels” in “Technical specifications”
section.
Incorrect pressure causes abnormal tyre
wear:
Anormal pressure: tread evenly worn.
Blow pressure: tread particularly worn
at the edges.
Chigh pressure: tread particularly worn
in the centre.
Tyres must be replaced when the tread
wears down to 1.6 mm. In any case, com-
ply with the laws in the country where the
car is being driven.

Add +0.3 bar to the prescribed inflation pressure when the tyres are warm. Recheck pressure value with cold tyres.
With snow tyres, add +0.2 bar to the inflation pressure value prescribed for standard tyres.
If travelling at a speed higher than 160 km/h, inflate tyres at the values specified for fully laden conditions.
