The tyre pressure also increases while
driving the vehicle: this is a normal
condition and does not require any
adjustment of the pressure.
The TPMS continues to advise the
driver of the low tyre pressure condition
until this is corrected; the warning
continues until the pressure
corresponds or exceeds the pressure
prescribed for the cold tyres. When the
tyre low pressure control warning
light
switches on constantly, the
inflation pressure must be adjusted until
it reaches the pressure prescribed for
cold tyres. After the automatic update
of the system, the tyre pressure control
warning light switches off. You may
need to drive the vehicle for about 20
minutes at a speed higher than 20
km/h to allow the TPMS to receive this
information.
NOTE
❒The TPMS does not replace the
normal tyre maintenance service and
does not indicate any fault in a tyre.
❒Therefore, the TPMS should not be
used as pressure switch while
adjusting the tyre inflation pressure.❒Driving with insufficient tyre pressure
causes their overheating and can
result in tyre failure. The low inflation
pressure reduces fuel efficiency
and tyre tread life and may also affect
handling and braking performance
of the vehicle.
❒The TPMS does not replace the
correct tyre maintenance. It is up to
the driver to maintain the correct tyre
pressure level measuring it with a
suitable pressure switch. This is
necessary even if the decrease in the
inflation pressure value does not
cause the tyre pressure control
warning light to switch on.
❒The TPMS warns the driver of any
condition of insufficient tyre pressure
If this drops below the insufficient
pressure limit for any reason including
low temperature and normal
pressure loss of the tyre.
❒The seasonal temperature changes
affect tyre pressure.
The TPMS uses wireless devices with
electronic sensors mounted on the
wheel rims to constantly monitor the
value of tyre pressure. The sensors
mounted on each wheel as part of the
valve stem transmit various information
of the tyres to the receiver module, in
order to calculate the pressure.WARNING Monitoring and maintaining
the correct pressure in all four tyres
are particularly important.
Tyre pressure
monitoring system low
pressure warnings
The system warns the driver if one or
more tyres are flat by switching on
the warning light
on the instrument
panel (together with a warning message
and an acoustic signal).
In this case, stop the vehicle as soon as
possible, check the inflation pressure
of each tyre and inflate to the cold tyre
pressure value prescribed for the
vehicle. The system will automatically
update and after receiving the tyre
pressure update the tyre pressure
control warning light switches off. You
may need to drive the vehicle for about
20 minutes at a speed higher than 20
km/h to allow the system to receive this
information.

❒if the tool container is not provided,
for special trim versions, a bag
containing the above tools may be
provided;
❒for versions with alloy rims, remove
the press-fitted hub cap;
❒take the extension for spanner, the
bolt spanner and the rod for spanner
from the tool container;
❒with the tools assembled correctly,
loosen the fixing bolts for the wheel
to be changed by one turn;
❒turn the ring nut to partly extend the
jack;❒arrange the jack near the lift support
closest to the wheel to be replaced
at the points shown in fig. 181.
For short wheelbase versions with
retractable footboard, the jack must
be positioned at the lift point shown
in fig. 183 aligned (45°) so that it
does not interfere with the retractable
footboard;
❒warn all bystanders that the vehicle is
about to be lifted. They must stay
clear and not touch the vehicle until it
is back on the ground.❒for versions equipped with
self-levelling air suspension, before
raising the vehicle with the jack,
press buttons A and B fig. 184
simultaneously for at least 5 seconds.
The operating mode for raising the
vehicle is activated: the LEDs on the
buttons come on constantly. To
exit this mode, press buttons A and
B simultaneously for another 5
seconds; both LEDs on the buttons
will go out and full system operation
will be restored. This mode
deactivates automatically when the
speed of approx. 5 km/h is
exceeded.

IN AN EMERGENCY

At the end of the operation:
❒take the removed wheel, re-attach it
to the mount E fig. 187 and tighten
the knob D;
❒introduce the assembled tool fig. 186
with the suitable extension B fig. 185
on the screw A fig. 185 of the spare
wheel housing manoeuvring device
and turn clockwise to lift the spare
wheel back up until it is fully
supported in its housing under the
platform, checking that the
attachment reference D fig. 186
appears in the window on the device;
155)
For vehicles with alloy rims, proceed as
follows:
❒carry out the above described
operations for changing the wheel
until loading the punctured wheel on
the spare wheel lifting device;❒take the kit from the tool bag, located
in the glove compartment;
❒the kit includes one bracket, three
special screws and one Allen
spanner, 10 size;
❒go to the rear side of the vehicle
where the spare wheel is located;
❒make sure to have fully unwound the
cable of the spare wheel lifting
device; take the bell and position it
inside the circular bracket fig. 191;
❒tighten the knob on the screw to
secure the bracket fig. 192.
❒lay the bracket on the inside of the
alloy rim fig. 193.
❒use the Allen spanner and tighten the
three special screws on the nuts of
the bracket fig. 194 locking the rim;

IN AN EMERGENCY

WARNING
198) Remember that the road
holding qualities of your vehicle
also depend on the correct
inflation pressure of the tyres.
199) If the pressure is too low, the
tyre will overheat and could be
seriously damaged.
200) Avoid switching the tyres from
the right side of the vehicle to the
left side and vice versa.
201) Never submit alloy rims to
repainting treatments requiring
the use of temperatures
exceeding 150°C. The mechanical
properties of the wheels could
be impaired.
RUBBER HOSES
As far as the brake system and fuel
supply system rubber hoses are
concerned, follow the "Scheduled
Servicing Plan" in this chapter carefully.
Ozone, high temperatures and
prolonged lack of fluid in the system
may cause hardening and cracking of
the hoses, with possible leaks. Careful
checking is therefore necessary.
WINDSCREEN
WIPER
BLADES
Periodically clean the rubber part using
special products; TUTELA
PROFESSIONAL SC 35 is
recommended.
Replace the blades if the rubber edge is
deformed or worn. In any case, it is
advisable to replace them
approximately once a year.
A few simple precautions can reduce
the possibility of damage to the blades:
❒if the temperature falls below zero,
make sure that ice has not frozen
the rubber against the glass. Use a
de-icing product to release it if
required;
❒remove any snow from the glass: in
addition to protecting the blades,
this prevents effort on the motor and
overheating;
❒do not operate the windscreen and
rear window wipers on dry glass.
