FAILURE WARNINGS
In the event of failure, the ESP system is automatically disconnected and
the instrument panel warning light (A) comes on together with the
message on the display (see section “Warning lights and messages”).
In this case, go to a Fiat Dealership as soon as possible.
WARNINGDuring the use of the space-saver spare wheel, the ESP system carries on working.
However, you must remind that the space-saver spare wheel presents dimensions
smaller than the standard tyre and therefore its grip is reduced as to the other car
tyres.
For correct operation of the ESP system, the tyres must absolutely be of the same
brand and type on all wheels, in perfect conditions and, above all, of type, brand
and size specified.WARNING

When travelling the ASR can be switched off and on
again pressing switch (A) on the centre console.
When the ASR is off this is shown by the lighting up of
the led on the switch.If the ASR is switched off when travelling, it will turn
on again automatically the next time the engine is
started.
When travelling on snow with snow chains, it may be
helpful to turn the ASR off: in fact, in these conditions,
slipping of the driving wheels when moving off makes it
possible to obtain better drive.
WARNINGThe performance of the system, in terms of active safety should not induce the
driver to take pointless and unnecessary risks. The style of driving must in any case
always be adapted to the conditions of the road surface, visibility an traffic. Road
safety is always the driver’s responsibility.
For correct operation of the ASR system, the tyres must absolutely be of the same
brand and type on all wheels, in perfect conditions and, above all, of type, brand
and size specified. WARNING

SNOW TYRES
These tyres have been specially designed for driving on
snow or ice, to be fitted in place of the standard tyres.
Use snow tyres of the same size as the standard tyres
provided with the car.
Fiat Dealership will be happy to provide advice
concerning the most suitable type of tyre for the
customer’s requirements.
For the type of tyre to be used, inflation pressures and
the specifications of snow tyres, follow the
instructions given in paragraph “Wheels” in section
“Technical specifications”.
The winter features of these tyres are reduced
considerably when the tread depth is below 4 mm. In
this case, they should be replaced.
Due to the snow tyre features, under normal
conditions of use or on long motorway journeys, the
performance of these tyres is lower than that of
standard tyres.It is therefore necessary to limit their use to the
purposes for which they are certified.
IMPORTANT When snow tyres are used with a max
speed index below the one that can be reached by the
car (increased by 5%), place a notice in the passenger
compartment, plainly in the driver’s view which states
the max permissible speed of the snow tyres (as per
EC Directive).
All four tyres should be the same (brand and track) to
ensure greater safety when driving and braking and
better driveability.
Remember that it is inappropriate to change the
direction of rotation of tyres.
The max speed for snow tyres with “Q” marking is 160 km/h. The Road Traffic
Code speed limits must however be always strictly observed.WARNING

BUMP STARTING
Never bump start the engine by pushing, towing or
coasting downhill.
This could cause fuel to flow into the catalytic
converter and damage it beyond repair.
IMPORTANT Remember that the servobrake and
electrical power steering system are not operating
until the engine is started, a greater effort will
therefore be required to press the brake pedal or turn
the steering wheel.IF A TYRE IS PUNCTURED
GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
For versions/markets where applicable, the car can be
fitted with a quick tyre repair kit called FIX & GO,
replacing the usual tool fitting, the spare wheel lifting
winch and the space-saver spare wheel.
Normal spare small wheel, or (where provided)
normal size spare wheel, can be supplied on request;
for its use, follow what indicated below.
VAN versions are fitted as standard with a spare
wheel with steel rim of the same type and size as the
standard wheels mounted on the car.
Wheel changing and correct use of the jack and space-
saver spare wheel call for some precautions as listed
below.
WARNINGAlert other drivers that the car is stationary in compliance with local regulations:
hazard warning lights, warning triangle, etc. Any passengers on board should leave the
car, especially if it is heavily laden. Passengers should stay away from oncoming traffic
while the wheel is being changed. If parked on a slope or rough surface, chock the
wheels with wedges or other suitable devices to prevent the car from rolling.
