WHEELS AND TYRES
Check the pressure of each tyre, includ-
ing the spare wheel, approximately once
every two weeks and before starting a
long journey: this check must be per-
formed with the tyre rested and cold.
It is normal for pressure to increase when
the vehicle is used. For the correct tyre
inflation pressure, see “Wheels” in “Tech-
nical specifications” section.
Incorrect pressure causes abnormal tyre
wearfig. 9:
Anormal pressure: evenly worn tread;
Blow pressure: tread particularly worn
on the edges;
Cexcessive pressure: tread particularly
worn in the middle.
The tyres must be replaced when the
tread is less than 1.6 mm thick. In all cas-
es, follow the laws in force in the coun-
try where you are driving.IMPORTANT NOTES
❒Avoid braking suddenly, burning starts
and violent knocks against the curb,
potholes or other obstacles if possible.
Long distances on rough roads may
damage the tyres;
❒check the tyres regularly for cuts on the
sides, swelling or irregular tread wear.
Go to a Fiat Dealership if required.
❒Do not overload your vehicle: this may
cause serious damage to wheels and
tyres;
❒if a tyre is punctured, stop the vehicle
immediately and charge it to avoid dam-
age to the tyre, the rim, suspensions
and steering system;❒a tyre will age even if it is not used
much. Cracks in the tread and on the
sidewalls are a sign of ageing. Have the
tyres checked by specialised personnel
if they have been fitted for longer than
6 years. Remember to check the spare
wheel very carefully.
❒In case of replacement, always fit new
tyres, avoiding those with an unknown
origin.
❒If a tyre is replaced, also change the in-
flation valve.
❒To allow even wear between the front
and rear tyres, it is advisable to change
them every 10-15 thousand kilometres,
keeping them on the same side of the
vehicle so as not to reverse the direc-
tion of rotation.

RUBBER HOSES
As far as the brake system and fuel rubber
hoses are concerned, carefully follow the
instructionsprovided in the “Scheduled
servicing plan” in this section.
Ozone, high temperatures and prolonged
lack of fluid in the system may cause hard-
ening and cracking of the hoses, with pos-
sible leaks. Careful inspections are there-
fore necessary.Remember that road holding
also depends on the correct
tyre inflation pressure.
WARNING
If the pressure is too low the
tyre overheats and this can
cause serious damage.
WARNING
Do not cross switch the
tyres, moving them from the
right of the vehicle to the left and
vice versa.
WARNING
Never submit alloy rims to
repainting treatments re-
quiring the use of temperatures ex-
ceeding 150°C. The mechanical prop-
erties of the wheels could be im-
paired.

BODYWORK
PROTECTION FROM
WEATHER CONDITIONS
The main causes of corrosion are the fol-
lowing:
❒atmospheric pollution;
❒salty air and humidity (coastal areas or
hot humid climates);
❒seasonal environment conditions.
Equal importance must be attributed to
the abrasive action of wind-borne atmos-
pheric dust as well as sand and mud and
gravel raised by other vehicles.
On your vehicle Fiat has adopted the best
manufacturing technologies to effectively
protect the bodywork against corrosion.These are the most important technolo-
gies:
❒painting products and systems which
give the vehicle particular resistance to
corrosion and abrasion;
❒use of galvanised (or pre-treated) steel
sheets with high resistance to corro-
sion;
❒spraying the underbody, engine com-
partment, wheelhouse internal parts
and other parts with highly protective
wax products;
❒spraying of plastic parts with a protec-
tive function in the more exposed
points: underdoor, inner fender parts,
edges, etc.;
❒use of “open” boxed sections to pre-
vent condensation and pockets of mois-
ture from triggering rust inside.VEHICLE BODY
AND UNDERBODY WARRANTY
Your vehicle is covered by warranty
against perforation due to rust of any orig-
inal element of the structure or body.
For the general terms of this warranty, re-
fer to the Fiat Warranty Booklet.

CLEANING SEATS
AND FABRIC PARTS
Remove dust with a soft brush or a vacu-
um cleaner. It is advisable to use a moist
brush on velvet upholstery.
Rub the seats with a sponge moistened
with a solution of water and neutral de-
tergent.CLEANING PLASTIC PARTS
It is advisable to clean interior plastic parts
with a moist cloth and a solution of wa-
ter and mild soap. Remove grease and
tough stains using specific solvent-free
products for cleaning plastic parts specif-
ically designed to prevent damage to the
appearance and colour of the treated
parts.
IMPORTANT Never use spirit or petro-
leum to clean the instrument panel.STEERING WHEEL/GEARBOX
LEVER KNOB/HANDBRAKE
COATED WITH REAL LEATHER
(where provided)
These components must be cleaned with
mild soap and water only. Never use spir-
it and/or alcohol based products.
Before using specific products for clean-
ing the interiors, carefully read the in-
structions on the product label and ensure
that it does not contain alcohol and/or al-
cohol-based substances.
If drops of the specific product for clean-
ing windows accidentally falls onto the
leather of the steering wheel / gear lever
knob during windscreen window washing,
immediately wipe the drops away and then
wash the area with mild soap and water.
IMPORTANT If a lock device is installed
on the steering wheel, maximum care
must be taken during installation in order
to prevent abrasions of the leather up-
holstery.
