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
