WHEELS AND TYRES
RIMS AND TYRES
For the type of wheel rims and tyres
fitted on the vehicle see the "Wheels"
paragraph in the "Technical data"
chapter.
IMPORTANT NOTES
As far as possible, avoid sharp
braking, screech starts and violent
shocks against pavements, potholes or
other hard obstacles. Driving for long
stretches over uneven roads can
damage the tyres;
periodically check that the tyres
have no cuts in the side wall, abnormal
swelling or irregular tyre tread wear.
Go to a Fiat Dealership if required;
avoid overloading the car when
travelling: this may cause serious
damage to the wheels and tyres;
if a tyre is punctured, stop
immediately and replace it to avoid
damage to the tyre, the rim, suspension
and steering system;
tyres age even if they are not used
much. Cracks in the tread and on
the sidewalls are a sign of ageing. In
any event, have the tyres checked
by specialised technicians if they have
been fitted for longer than 6 years.
Remember to check the spare wheel
very carefully;
in the case of replacement, always
fit new tyres, avoiding those of
unknown origin;
if a tyre is changed, also change the
inflation valve;
to allow even wear between the
front and rear tyres, it is advisable to
change them over every 10–15
thousand kilometres, keeping them on
the same side of the vehicle so as
not to reverse the direction of rotation.

SNOW CHAINS
The use of snow chains should be in
compliance with local regulations of
each country. The snow chains may be
applied only onto the front wheel (drive
wheels). Check the tension of the
snow chains after the first few metres
have been driven.
151)
WARNING
147)Remember that the road holding
qualities of your vehicle also depend on the
correct inflation pressure of the tyres.
148)If tyre pressure is too low, the tyre
may overheat and be severely damaged as
a result.
149)Do not switch tyres from the
right­hand side of the vehicle to the
left­hand side, and vice versa.
150)Never submit alloy rims to repainting
treatments requiring the use of
temperatures exceeding 150°C. The
mechanical properties of the wheels could
be impaired.
151)Keep the vehicle's speed down when
snow chains are fitted; never exceed 50
km/h. Avoid potholes, do not drive over
steps or pavements, and do not drive long
distances over roads without snow, to
avoid damaging both your vehicle and the
road surface.
