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.

INTERIORS
Periodically check that water is not
trapped under the mats (due to water
dripping off shoes, umbrellas, etc.) which
could cause oxidisation of the sheet met-
al.
CLEANING SEATS AND FABRIC
PARTS
Remove dust with a soft brush or a vacu-
um cleaner. It is advisable to use a moist
brush on velvet upholstery.
Rub the seats with a sponge moistened
with a solution of water and neutral de-
tergent.
LEATHER SEATS
Remove dry dirt with a moist chamois
leather or cloth without pressing too hard.
Remove stains of liquid or grease with a
dry absorbing cloth. Do not rub. Then
wipe with a soft cloth or chamois leather
dipped in water and mild soap.
Use specific products for persistent stains
paying attention to instructions for use.
IMPORTANT Never use alcohol. Make
sure that the products used do not con-
tain alcohol or derivates, even in low con-
centrations. INTERIOR PLASTIC PARTS
It is advisable to clean interior parts with
a moist cloth and a solution of water and
mild soap. Use specific products for clean-
ing plastic, without solvents and specifically
designed to prevent damage to the ap-
pearance and colour of the treated parts
to remove grease and tough stains.
IMPORTANT Never use spirit or petro-
leum to clean the instrument panel trans-
parent cover or other plastic parts.
Do not keep aerosol cans in
the car: risk of explosion.
Aerosol cans must not be exposed to
a temperature exceeding 50°C. When
the vehicle is exposed to sunlight, in-
ner temperature can greatly exceed
this value.
WARNING
The fabric upholstery of your
car is designed to withstand
the normal wear and tear of
your car for a long time.
Some precautions are however need-
ed. Avoid prolonged rubbing against
clothing accessories, such as metal
buckles, Velcro strips and the like,
which by applying a high pressure on
the fabric in a small area could cause
the breakage of some threads and
damage the upholstery.
LEATHER STEERING
WHEEL/GEAR KNOB
These components must be cleaned with
mild soap and water only. Never use spir-
it and/or alcohol based products. Read
the product label carefully before using
specific products for cleaning the interi-
ors: make sure the product does not con-
tain alcohol or alcohol based substances.
If window cleaner accidentally drips onto
the steering wheel or gear lever knob,
wipe away immediately and then wash the
concerned area with mild soap and water.
IMPORTANT Be careful when arranging
a steering wheel lock device, where ap-
plicable, to prevent damaging the leather
upholstery by rubbing.
