IMPORTANT NOTES ABOUT
THE T.P.M.S. SYSTEM
Failure indications will not be stored and
therefore will not be displayed when turn-
ing the engine off and on again. If failure
persists, the control unit will send warn-
ing indications to the instrument panel on-
ly after a few seconds when the car is
moving.
IMPORTANT T.P.M.S. system cannot in-
dicate sudden tyre pressure drops (e.g.:
tyre burst). In this event, brake the car
cautiously and avoid sudden steering.
IMPORTANT Replacing standard tyres
with winter tyres and vice versa involves
T.P.M.S. system set-up that shall be per-
formed at Fiat Dealerships only.
IMPORTANT The T.P.M.S. system re-
quires special equipment. Consult Fiat
Dealership to know what type of acces-
sories are compatible with the system
(wheels, wheel caps, etc.). Using other ac-
cessories could cause system malfunc-
tioning.IMPORTANT Tyre pressure could change
according to outside temperature. For this
reason the T.P.M.S. system could tem-
porarily indicate low tyre pressure. In this
event check pressure with cold tyres and
restore proper inflation values if required.
IMPORTANT If the car is fitted with
T.P.M.S. system, tyre and/or rim removal
and refitting operations involve special
precautions; to prevent damages or wrong
sensor refitting, contact Fiat Dealership to
have tyre and/or rim changed.
IMPORTANT If the car is fitted with
T.P.M.S. system, when changing a tyre,
change also the rubber seal of the valve.
Contact a Fiat Dealership.
IMPORTANT Strong radiofrequency
noise may inhibit regular TPMS system op-
eration; in this event, a dedicated message
will be displayed to warn the driver. This
message will disappear automatically as
soon as noise disappears.SOUND SYSTEM

For the operation of the radio with
CD/MP3 CD (where provided), read the
instructions for use given in the Supple-
ment attached to the Owner Handbook.
Sound system (where provided)

CORRECT USE
OF THE CAR
IN AN
EMERGENCY
When driving with a space-
saver spare wheel fitted, the
driving performance of the car chan-
ges. Avoid accelerating or braking
sharply, abrupt turns or fast corne-
rings. The life of the spare wheel is
approx. 3000 Km, after this distance
it should be replaced with another of
the same type. Never attempt to fit
a conventional tyre on a rim designed
for use as a space-saver spare wheel.
Have the punctured wheel repaired
and refitted as soon as possible. Two
or more space-saver spare wheels
should never be used together. Do not
grease the threads of bolts before in-
stalling them: they might slip out.
WARNING
The jack shall only be used
for changing wheels on the
car with which it is provided or on
cars of the same model.
It must not be used for other purpo-
ses such as for instance raising cars of
other models. In no case should it be
used for repairs under the car. Incor-
rect positioning of the jack may cau-
se the jacked car to fall. Do not use
the jack for higher capacities than
stated on its label. Snow chains can-
not be fitted to the space-saver spa-
re wheel. So, if a front (drive) wheel
is punctured and chains are needed,
a rear wheel should be fitted to the
front of the car and the spare wheel
should be fitted to the rear. This way
with two normal drive wheels, snow
chains can be fitted to them to solve
an emergency.
WARNING
Fasten the wheel cap cor-
rectly to prevent the wheel
from coming free in motion. Never
tamper with the inflation valve. Ne-
ver place tools between the rim and
tyre. Check and restore, if required,
the pressure of tyres and spare wheel
to the values given in section “Tech-
nical Specifications”.

For versions with alloy rims
❒Insert the wheel on the hub and, using
the wrench provided, tighten the
bolts;
❒Lower the car and remove the jack;
❒Using the wrench provided, fully tigh-
ten the bolts in the sequence shown
in fig. 10;
❒Refit the snap-fitted wheel hub cap and
make sure that the reference hole on
the wheel is coinciding with the refe-
rence pin on the cap.
IMPORTANT Incorrect fitting may cause
the wheel cap to come off while the car
is travelling.When you have finished
❒Place the spacer;
❒Fit the jack partially open in its con-
tainer C-fig. 12forcing it lightly to
prevent it from vibrating when travel-
ling;
❒Put the tools back into their places in
the container; REFITTING THE STANDARD
WHEEL
Following the procedure described pre-
viously, raise the car and remove the spa-
re wheel.
For versions with steel rim
Proceed as follows:
❒Make sure the contact surfaces
between standard wheel and hub are
clean so that the fastening bolts will
not come loose;
❒Fit the standard wheel by inserting the
first bolt for two threads into the ho-
le closest to the inflation valve;
❒Fit the wheel cap making the groove
(on the wheel cap) coincide with the
inflation valve and fit the other four
bolts;
❒Using the wrench provided, tighten
the fastening bolts;
❒Lower the car and remove the jack;
❒Using the wrench provided, fully tigh-
ten the bolts in the sequence shown
previously.

MAINTENANCE
❒If a tyre is punctured, stop immediate-
ly and change it to avoid damage to the
tyre, the rim, suspensions and steering
system;
❒Tyres age even if they are not used
much. Cracks in the tread rubber are
a sign of ageing. In any case, if the tyres
have been on the car for over 6 years,
they should be checked by specialised
personnel, to see if they can still be
used. Also remember to check the
space-saver spare wheel;
❒In the case of replacement, always fit
new tyres, avoiding those of dubious
origin;
❒If a tyre is changed, 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 to not reverse the
direction of rotation.
Remember that road holding
depends also on the correct
tyre inflating pressure.
WARNING
Do not cross switch the
tyres, moving them from the
right of the car to the left and vice
versa.
WARNING
If the pressure is too low the
tyre overheats and this can
cause it serious damage.
WARNING
Never submit alloy rims to
repainting treatments re-
quiring to use temperatures exceed-
ing 150°C since the mechanical prop-
erties of the wheels could be im-
paired.
WARNING
RUBBER HOSES
As far as the brake system and fuel rubber
hoses are concerned, carefully follow the
“Service schedule” in this section.
Indeed ozone, high temperatures and pro-
longed lack of fluid in the system may
cause hardening and cracking of the hoses,
with possible leaks. Careful control is
therefore necessary.
