2007 FIAT SEICENTO wheel size

62GETTING TO KNOW YOUR CAR
The system is programmed at the
factory to ensure variable degrees of
assistance according to the require-
ments. In other words, power is in-
creased for parking and reduced as
the car’s speed increases.
The EPAS system only works when
the engine is running to avoid deploy-
ing the battery accidentally. Further-
more, it is equipped with a self-test
function to detect faults and incorrect
signals.
IMPORTANTThe steering wheel
may stiffen slightly in parking manoeu-
vres requiring a great deal of steering:
this is normal and caused by the
power steering motor overheat pro-
tection system tripping. The problem
does not require servicing and the
electric power steering system will
work normally the next time the car
is used.If the warning light comes on, see
chapter
GETTING TO KNOW YOUR CAR,
paragraph
WARNING LIGHTS.
FIAT 600 VAN
The version herein illustrated differs
from Fiat 600 saloon described in this
handbook for the different size of the
boot and the availability of two front
seats only.
Load recommendations
Fiat 600 Van has been designed and
approved on the basis of several set
maximum values:
– kerb weight
– payload
– gross vehicle weight
– total weight on the front axle
– total weight on the rear axle
– towable weight.
Each of these limits must be borne
in mind and must never be exceeded
under any circumstances. It is absolutely forbidden
to carry out whatever af-
ter-market operation in-
volving steering system or steer-
ing column modifications (e.g.: in-
stallation of anti-theft Device)
that could badly affect perfor-
mance and safety, cause the lapse
of warranty and also result in
non-compliance of the car with
homologation requirements.

84DRIVING YOUR CAR
WINTER TYRES
These are tyres which have been
specifically designed for use on snow
and ice and should be fitted in place of
the existing tyres.
Use winter tyres of the same size as
the tyres provided with the car.
Fiat Dealerships will be glad to of-
fer advice on the right type of tyres
according to your needs.
For information on the tyres to be
fitted, inflation pressure and winter
tyre specifications, follow the pre-
scriptions given in
WHEELS, TECHNICAL
SPECIFICATIONS
.The performance of winter tyres is
greatly reduced when the depth of the
tread is less than 4 mm. In this situa-
tion it would be safer to have them
replaced.
The specific characteristics of the
winter tyres mean that under normal
driving conditions or when driving
long distances on motorways, their
performance is greatly reduced in
comparison to those normally fitted
to the car.
The use of these tyres should there-
fore be limited to the conditions for
which they were designed.
IMPORTANTWhen using winter
tyres with a maximum speed rating
lower than the speed which can be
reached by the car (plus 5%), place a
suitable notice is the passenger com-
partment to inform the driver of the
top speed which the winter tyre can
run at (as per EC Directive).All four tyres should be the same
(brand and track) to ensure greater
safety when driving, braking and cor-
nering.
Remember not to invert the tyre di-
rection of rotation.
The maximum speed
for winter tyres with “Q”
marking is 160 km/h. Re-
spect the highway code speed
limits.

General instructions
Observe the instructions on this and
the following pages to use the jack and
space-saver spare wheel correctly. The space-saver spare
wheel is vehicle-specific.
Never use the wheel on
other models. Never fit other
model spare wheels on your car.
If you change the type of wheels
(alloy rims instead of steel rims)
you will have to change the en-
tire set of fastening bolts with an-
other set of suitably sized bolts.
Only use the spare-saver wheel
for emergencies. Do not exceed
80 km/h with the spare wheel fit-
ted. When driving with a space-
saver spare wheel fitted, the dri-
ving performance of your car
may change. Avoid accelerating
or braking suddenly, steering
abruptly or fast cornering.
A space-saver spare wheel has a
maximum life of 3,000 km after
which is must be replaced with a
wheel of the same type. Do not bump start by
pushing, towing or coast-
ing downhill. This way of
starting could cause a rush of fuel
into the catalytic exhaust pipe
and damage it beyond repair.
Remember that until
the engine has started
the brake booster and
power steering systems will not
work and a greater effort will
therefore be required to press
the brake pedal or turn the
steering wheel.
Alert 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 the wheel is being changed on
a steep or badly surfaced road,
place wedges or other suitable
material under the wheels to
stop the car.

93IN AN EMERGENCY
IMPORTANTFor cars equipped
with optional alloy wheels, a specific
spare wheel is required which differs
from that used on cars equipped with
steel rims. When fitting alloy rims to
replace steel rims at a later date, the
four original wheel bolts should be
changed with a new set of adequately
sized bolts and a specific spare wheel.
It is advised to keep the bolts and
the spare wheel, which would become
necessary if you should decide to re-
turn to the original type of wheels. IF A BULB BURNS
OUT Only touch the metal
part when handling halo-
gen bulbs. If the transpar-
ent bulb is touched it reduces the
intensity of the light emitted and
can also reduce the life of the
bulb. If you touch the bulb acci-
dentally, rub it with a cloth
moistened with alcohol and leave
it to dry. Modifications or repairs
to the electrical system
carried out incorrectly
and without bearing the features
of the system in mind can cause
malfunctions with the risk of fire.
You should, where pos-
sible, have your bulbs
changed at a Fiat Dealer-
ship. Correct operation of the ex-
ternal light beams are essential
for safe driving and compliance
with legal requirements. Halogen bulbs contain
pressurised gas which, if
broken, may cause small
fragments of glass to be pro-
jected outwards.

WHEELS
RIMS AND TYRES
Printed steel or alloy rims. Specific
wheel bolts (different in size and rec-
iprocally incompatible) for each of the
two types of rim.
Tubeless tyres with radial carcass.
The homologated tyres are listed in
the log book.
IMPORTANT In the event of dis-
crepancies between the information
provided in this Owner Handbook

ifications shown in the Log Book only.
To ensure safety of the car in move-
ment, it must be fitted with tyres of
specified size and of the same make
and type on all wheels.IMPORTANT Do not use inner
tubes with tubeless tyres.
Do not fasten alloy wheels with the
steel wheel bolts and vice versa. For
details on the compatibility between
rims and bolts - also with reference to
the space-saver spare wheel - see
