2007 FIAT IDEA spare wheel

ANNUAL INSPECTION
SCHEDULE
For cars with an annual mileage of below 20,000 km
(for example about 15,000 km) the following yearly
inspection programme is provided:
❒check tyre conditions/wear and adjust pressure if
required (including the spare wheel);
❒check lighting system operation (headlights,
direction indicators, hazard lights, boot lights,
passenger compartment lights, warning lights, etc.);
❒check windscreen/washer
(nozzles/and blade position regulation)
❒check front disk brake pad conditions and wear;
❒sight inspect the conditions of: engine, gearbox,
transmission, pipes and hoses (exhaust - fuel -
brakes), rubber parts (boots, sleeves, bushes, etc;
❒check for bonnet and boot lock cleanness, lever
cleanness and lubrication;
❒check battery charge;
❒visual check on various drive belt conditions;
❒top up fluid levels (engine coolant, brakes,
windscreen washer, battery, etc.);
❒change engine oil;
❒change engine oil filter;
❒replace pollen filter (where provided).
ADDITIONAL CHECKS
Every 1,000 km or before long journeys, check and top
up if required:
❒engine coolant fluid level;
❒brake fluid level;
❒windscreen washer fluid level;
❒tyre pressure and conditions.
Every 3,000 km check and top up if required: engine
oil level.
You are recommended to use FL Selenia products,
designed and produced specifically for Fiat cars (see
table “Capacities” in section “Technical
specifications”).

WHEELS AND TYRES
Check the pressure of each tyre, including the spare, every two weeks
and before long journeys. The pressure should be checked with the tyre
rested and cold.
For the correct tyre inflation pressure, see “Wheels” in “Technical
specifications” section.
Incorrect pressure causes abnormal tyre wear:
(A): normal pressure: tread evenly worn.
(B): low pressure: tread particularly worn at the edges.
(C): high pressure: tread particularly worn in the centre.
Tyres must be replaced when the tread wears down to 1.6 mm. In any
case, comply with the laws 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, have
the car seen to at a Fiat Dealership;

❒Avoid overloading the vehicle when travelling: this
may cause serious damage to the wheels and tyres;
❒If a tyre is punctured, stop immediately 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 spare wheel;
❒In the case of replacement, always fit new tyres,
avoiding those of dubious origin;
❒If a tyre is changed, also change the inflation valve;
❒To allow even wear between the front and rear
tyres, it is advisable to change them over every 10-
15 thousand kilometres, keeping them on the same
side of the car so as to not reverse the direction of
rotation.

WARNING
Never submit alloy rims to repainting treatments requiring to use temperatures
exceeding 150°C since the mechanical properties of the wheels could be impaired.WARNING
If the pressure is too low the tyre overheats and this can cause it serious damage.
WARNINGRemember that road holding depends also on the correct tyre inflating pressure.
WARNINGDo not cross switch the tyres, moving them from the right of the car to the left and
vice versa.
