TPMS – Tyre
Pressure
Monitoring System
(For versions/markets where provided)
Tyre pressure loss warning
This system warns the driver of any
pressure loss in one or more of the
tyres.
Operating principle
Each wheel (except the spare) has a
built-in sensor in the inflation valve that
measures tyre pressure at regular
intervals while driving. Warning light 1
fig. 202 stays on to warn the driver in
case of tyre pressure loss (deflated tyre,
puncture, etc.).Re-initialising the tyre pressure
reference value
This operation must be done:when the tyre reference pressure has
to be changed so it can be adapted to
use conditions (empty, with a load,
highway driving, etc.);
after tyre rotation ( however, this
practice is not advised);
after replacing a tyre.
This operation must always be done
after a cold tyre inflation pressure of all
the tyres.
Inflation pressure has to correspond to
the vehicle's current use (empty, with a
load, highway driving, etc.).
Re-initialisation procedure
With the engine running and the vehicle
stationary.
briefly press on button 3 or 4
fig. 203 to select the "TYRE
PRESSURE SET < LONG PRESS >"
function on display panel 2;
keep button 3 or 4 pressed (for
about 3 seconds) to start initialisation.
The appropriate message indicates that
the request to restore the tyre pressure
reference values is being processed.
A few minutes of driving is required to
complete the initialisation.NOTE The tyre pressure reference value
must not be less than that advised and
indicated on the the driver's door pillar.
Display
The display 2 fig. 203 on the instrument
panel indicates any inflation faults
(deflated tyre, puncture, etc.).
Warning light 1 fig. 202 stays on
permanently along with the message to
that effect. This indicates that at least
one tyre is deflated.
If necessary, check and adjust the
pressure of the four tyres when cold.
The warning light goes off after driving
for a few minutes.
IMPORTANT Unexpected loss of tyre
pressure (blowout, etc.) might not be
detected by the system.
The warning light turns on fixed
together with a dedicated message and
an acoustic signal.

Page 130 of 232
This message is accompanied by the
STOPwarning light.
This means that at least one of the tyres
is punctured or is very deflated.
Replace it or contact a Fiat Dealership if
it is punctured. Re-inflate the tyre if it is
deflated.
Warning light 1 fig. 202 flashes for a few
seconds before remaining permanent
along with the message to that effect.
This message is accompanied by the
light.
They indicate that one of the tyres has
no sensors (for example the spare). In
all other cases, contact a Fiat
Dealership.
New regulations concerning tyre
pressure
The tyre pressure must be checked
when cold(see the label located on
the driver's door pillar). If tyre pressure
checking cannot be donecold,
increase the pressure 0.2-0.3 bar
(3 PSI).
Never deflate a hot tyre.
Vehicle equipped with TPMS
In the event of a flat tyre (puncture,
insufficient inflation, etc.), the
warning light on the instrument
panel will turn on. Refer to the “TPMS –
TYRE PRESSURE MONITORING
SYSTEM” paragraph.Spare wheel
If the vehicle has one, the spare tyre
has no sensors. When this is mounted
on the vehicle, warning light 1
fig. 202 flashes for a few seconds
before staying on together with the
warning light, while a dedicated
message is displayed on the instrument
panel.
Spray can to repair the tyres and
inflation kit
According to the valve specifics, only
use equipment approved by a Fiat
Dealership. Please see the paragraph
"Tyre kit" in the "Emergency" chapter.
IMPORTANT This function provides an
additional aid to the driver; however, it
cannot replace him. It does not exempt
you from ordinary driving safety or from
responsibility in case of an accident.
Check tyre pressure, including the
spare tyre, once a month.
IMPORTANT For the safety of the driver
and anyone else on board, you must
stop as soon as traffic conditions allow
when theSTOPwarning light turns on.

To take the kit out, move the seat as far
forward as possible and lower the
backrest.
Undo the tool bag fixing screw C
fig. 258 and then turn the bag to
remove it.Precautions for using the kit
The kit must not be used for more than
15 consecutive minutes.
With the engine started and the
handbrake engaged;unwind the hose from the canister;
connect compressor hose 3
fig. 259 to the canister 8,
depending on the versions, connect
or screw in canister 8 to the
compressor where there is a hollow 7
fig. 259;
unscrew the tyre valve cap involved
and screw the inflation hose 1 fig. 259;
disconnect all the accessories
previously connected to the accessory
socket;
only connect plug 2 fig. 259 to the
vehicle’s accessory socket;
press switch 4 fig. 259 to inflate the
tyre to the prescribed pressure (refer to
the "Tyre inflation pressure” paragraph
in the “Maintenance and care” chapter);
after 15 minutes at most, stop
inflating;
NOTE While emptying the canister
(about 30 seconds), the pressure gauge
5 fig. 259 briefly indicates a pressure of
up to 6 bar, then it goes back down
again.
adjust the pressure: to increase it,
continue inflating the tyre with the kit; to
lower it, press button 6 fig. 259.
If after 15 minutes a minimum pressure
of 1.8 bar has not been reached, it
means that you cannot repair the tyre;
do not drive and contact a Fiat
Dealership.
Once the tyre has been correctly
inflated, remove the kit: slowly unscrew
the inflation hose 1 fig. 259 so the
product does not spatter and replace
the canister in a plastic bag so that the
product does not leak out.
Attach the instruction label on the
dashboard where the driver can see it;
replace the kit in the tool bag and put
it back under the driver's seat;
when the first inflation has been
done, the tyre will continue to lose air
and you need to start driving again to
plug the hole;
leave immediately and drive at a
speed between 20 and 60 km/h to
uniformly distribute the product on the
tyre and, after 3 kilometres, stop to
check the pressure;

Page 156 of 232
if the pressure is greater than 1.3 bar
but less than prescribed, you need to
adjust it (see the label attached to the
driver's door pillar), otherwise see a Fiat
Dealership: you cannot repair it.
WARNING
173)There should be no objects at the
driver's feet: in case of sharp braking, they
could slide under the pedals, preventing
their correct use.
IMPORTANT
32)The kit can repair tyres whose treads A
fig. 257 are damaged by foreign objects
smaller than 4 millimetres. It cannot repair
all types of puncture, such as cuts larger
than 4 millimetres and those on side B
fig. 257 of the tyre. Also make sure the rims
are in good condition. Do not remove the
foreign object that caused the puncture if it
is implanted in the tyre.33)Do not use the inflation kit if the tyre is
damaged by driving with a puncture. Check
the tyre sides carefully before any
intervention. Travelling with partially or
completely deflated tyres (or punctured)
can cause safety problems and damage
the concerned tyre beyond repair. This
reparation is temporary. A tyre that has
been punctured must be examined (and
repaired if possible) by a specialist as soon
as possible. When replacing a tyre repaired
by the kit, always notify the tyre repairer.
When driving, you can feel vibrations
caused by the product being in the tyre.
34)The kit is approved only for inflating
tyres of vehicles that were originally
equipped with it. It should never be used to
inflate another vehicle's tyres or any other
object (life vests, inflatable mattresses,
etc.). Avoid splashing on skin when using
the repair canister. If the product comes in
contact with skin, rinse thoroughly. Keep
the kit out of the reach of children. Do not
leave empty canister in the environment.
Deliver it to a Fiat Dealership or to a
consortium specialised in its disposal. The
canister has an expiration date indicated on
the label. Check the expiration date. Go to
a Fiat Dealership to replace the inflation
hose and repair canister.
35)Before using the kit, park the vehicle so
it is sufficiently far from traffic, turn on the
emergency lights, pull up the handbrake
and get all the occupants out of the vehicle,
moving them far away from the traffic.
36)In case you are stopped by the
carriageway, warn other road users that
your vehicle is there by placing the warning
triangle or other device allowed by law in
the country you are driving in.37)Caution, a missing or badly screwed on
valve cap could impact the tyre's grip and
cause a loss of pressure. The valve caps
must all be identical to the original ones
and screwed tightly.
38)After repair using the kit, do not drive
farther than 200 km. In addition, lower your
speed, and in any case do not exceed
80 km/h. The label is to be attached in a
visible part of the dashboard. Depending
on the market country or local laws, a tyre
repaired with the inflation kit must be
replaced.

SERVICING
PROCEDURES
The vehicle respects the recycling
criteria and scrapped vehicle
assessment that will become law in
2016.
Therefore, some of the vehicle’s
components are designed with their
ultimate recycling in mind.
These components can easily be
disassembled to be recovered and
reused in the recycling industry.
Moreover, thanks to its advanced
design, its original setup and its modest
fuel consumption, the vehicle complies
with the anti-pollution regulations in
force. We are actively committed to
reducing polluting gases and saving
energy. But the level of polluting gas
emissions and vehicle consumption
also depend on you. Take care to use
and service your vehicle correctly.
Keep in mind that lack of respect for
anti-pollution laws can expose the
vehicle's owner to administrative
sanctions. Moreover, replacing engine,
fuel system and exhaust parts with
other non-original ones voids the
vehicle's compliance with the
anti-pollution regulations.

WHEELS AND TYRES
SAFETY INFORMATION
The tyres are the vehicle's only contact
with the road surface, so they need to
be kept in good condition.
Local laws concerning rules of the road
must be respected.
206) 207) 208) 209) 210)
53) 54)
MAINTENANCE
The tyres must always be in good
condition, the treads have to be thick
enough; the tyres approved by Fiat
have wear warnings 1 fig. 272 that are
made up of protuberances incorporated
in the tread thickness.When the tread pattern is reduced to
the level of the warning protuberances,
they become visible 2 fig. 272: you
need to replace your tyres because the
tread depth is approximately1.6 mm
and that means low grip on wet roads.
An overloaded vehicle, travelling too
long on highways, in very hot weather
or driving on bumpy roads contributes
to deteriorating the tyres faster.
INFLATION PRESSURE
Respect the inflation pressure (including
the spare tyre), check it at least once a
year and before any long trips (see the
label located on the driver's door pillar).
The pressure must be checked with
cold tyres: do not consider higher
pressures that could be reached during
hot months or after hard driving. If tyre
pressure checking cannot be done with
cold tyres, increase the pressure 0.2 to
0.3 bar (or 3 PSI).
Never deflate a hot tyre.
Vehicles equipped with TPMS: in case
of under-inflating or puncture, the
warning light
on the instrument
panel turns on. Refer to the “TPMS –
Tyre Pressure Monitoring System”
paragraph in the “Safety” chapter.

IMPORTANT For cars used at full load
(Maximum Authorised Mass) and with a
tow trailer, the maximum speed must
not exceed 100 km/h and the tyre
pressure must be increased by 0.2 bar.
Refer to the “Weights” paragraph on
the “Technical data” chapter.Risk of
tyres bursting.

SUGGESTIONS ABOUT
THE ROTATION OF THE
TYRES
We advise you not to do this kind of
operation.
WINTER USE
55) 56) 57) 58)
Chains
For safety reasons, mounting snow
chains on the rear axle is prohibited.
The use of larger sized tyres than the
original ones makes fitting chains
impossible.Snow tyres
We advise you to fit these tyres to
guarantee the best vehicle grip
possible.
IMPORTANT These tyres sometimes
mean a maximum speed limit that may
be less than vehicle’s maximum speed.
Studded tyres
(For versions/markets where provided)
This type of tyre can only be used for a
limited period determined by local laws.
You need to respect the speed limits
imposed by local laws in effect.
These tyres can be fitted on at least
both front wheels.
In any case, it is advisable to
contact a Fiat Dealership.
WARNING
206)Insufficient pressure can cause the
tyres to wear early and heat up abnormally,
with obvious consequences for safety;
poor road grip, risk of blow-out or treads
detaching. Inflation pressure depends on
the load and the speed. Adjust the
pressure according to the conditions of
use (see the label located on the inside of
the driver's door pillar).
207)For safety reasons, only a specialised
technician should carry out this operation.
Fitting a different type of tyre can alter the
vehicle's compliance with the regulations in
force, cornering performance, steering and
fitting snow chains.
