WHEELS AND TYRES
Check the pressure of each tyre, includ-
ing the spare wheel, approximately once
every two weeks and before setting off on
a long journey: this check must be per-
formed with the tyre rested and cold.
It is normal for pressure to increase when
the car is used. For the correct tyre in-
flation pressure, see “Wheels” in “Tech-
nical specifications” section.
Incorrect pressure causes abnormal tyre
wearfig. 15:
A: normal pressure: evenly worn tread.
B: low pressure: tread particularly worn
on the edges.
C: excessive pressure: tread particularly
worn in the middle.
The tyres must be replaced when the
tread is less than 1.6 mm thick. In all cas-
es, follow the laws in force in the coun-
try where you are driving.
IMPORTANT NOTES
❒Avoid braking suddenly, burning starts
and violent knocks against the curb,
potholes or other obstacles if possible.
Long distances on rough roads may
damage the tyres;
❒check the tyres regularly for cuts on the
sides, swelling or irregular tread wear.
Go to a Fiat Dealership if required.
❒Do not overload your vehicle: this may
cause serious damage to wheels and
tyres;
❒if a tyre is punctured, stop the vehicle
immediately and charge it to avoid dam-
age to the tyre, the rim, suspensions
and steering system;
❒a tyre will age even if it is not used
much. Cracks in the tread and on the
sidewalls are a sign of ageing. Have the
tyres checked by specialised personnel
if they have been fitted for longer than
6 years. Remember to check the spare
wheel very carefully;
❒In case of replacement, always fit new
tyres, avoiding those with an unknown
origin.
fig. 15F0H0216m
Remember that the road
holding qualities of your car
also depends on the correct inflation
pressure of the tyres.
Excessively low pressure will cause
overheating of the tyre and may
cause severe tyre damage.
WARNING
Do not exchange the tyres
from the left to the right of
the car and vice versa.
Do not repaint alloy wheel rims at
temperatures higher than 150°C. The
mechanical characteristics of the
wheels might be disrupted.
WARNING
❒If a tyre is replaced, also change the in-
flation valve.
❒to allow even wear between the front
and rear tyres, it is advisable to change
them over every 10-15 thousand kilo-
metres, keeping them on the same side
of the car so as not to reverse the di-
rection of rotation.

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.
