WHEELS AND TYRES
TYRE PRESSURE
Check the pressure of each tyre, including the spare wheel, every two
weeks and before long journeys. The pressure should be checked with
the tyre rested and cold.
It is normal for the pressure to rise when you are driving; for the correct
tyre inflation pressure, see “Wheels” in “Technical specifications”
section.
Incorrect pressure causes abnormal tyre wear:
(A) - Correct pressure: tread evenly worn.
(B) - Underinflated tyre: shoulder tread wear.
(C) - Overinflated tyre: centre tread wear.
Tyres must be replaced when the tread wears down to 1.6 mm. In any
case, comply with the regulations in force in the country where the car is
being driven.
IMPORTANT NOTES
❒As far as possible, avoid sharp braking and screech starts, etc. Be
careful not to hit the kerb, potholes or other obstacles hard. Driving
for long stretches over bumpy roads can damage 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, contact
a Fiat Dealership.
❒avoid overloading the vehicle when travelling: this may cause serious
damage to the wheels and tyres.
