leasing the secondary latch. Be sure to
close the hood securely after check-
ing for proper latch operation. See “All
latches, hinges & locks” of “CHASSIS
AND BODY” in the “Periodic Main-
tenance Schedule” in the “INSPEC-
TION AND MAINTENANCE” section
for lubrication schedule.Once a month, or each time you fill your
fuel tank, check the tire pressure using a
tire pressure gauge. Also check the tire
pressure of the spare tire.❒Adjust the seat and adjustable head re-
straint (if equipped).
❒Check the brake pedal and the park-
ing brake lever.

TIRES
The front and rear tire pressure specifi-
cations for your vehicle are listed on the
Tire Information Label. Both the front and
rear tires should have the specified tire
pressure.
Note that the value does not apply to the
compact spare tire.
TIRE INSPECTION
Inspect your vehicle’s tires at least once
a month by performing the following
checks
❒Measure the air pressure with a tire
gauge. Adjust the pressure if necessary.
Remember to check the spare tire, too.
CLUTCH PEDAL
FLUID CONTROL CLUTCH
Check the clutch pedal for smooth oper-
ation and clutch fluid level from time to
time. If clutch dragging is felt with the ped-
al fully depressed, have the clutch in-
spected by your Fiat Dealership. If the
clutch fluid level is near the “MIN” line, fill
it up to the “MAX” line with TUTELA

COMPACT SPARE TIRE
(if equipped)
1.Wear indicator
2.Indicator location mark
Your vehicle comes equipped with the
compact spare tire. The compact spare is
designed to save space in your storage area,
and its lighter weight makes it easier to in-
stall if a flat tire occurs. It is only intended
for temporary emergency use, until the
conventional tire can be repaired or re-
placed. The inflation pressure of the com-
pact spare tire should be checked at least
monthly. Use a quality pocket- type infla-
tion pressure gauge and set at 4.2 bar (60
psi). At the same time, check that the tire
is stored securely. If it is not, tighten it.
Note that two or more compact spare
tires should not be used on one vehicle si-
multaneously.
54G115
The compact spare tire and
wheel are intended for tem-
porary emergency use only. Continu-
ous use of this spare can result in tire
failure and loss of control. Always ob-
serve these precautions when using
this spare:
– Your vehicle will handle differently
with this temporary spare.
– Do not exceed 80 km/h (50 mph)
speed.
– Replace this spare with a standard
tire and wheel as soon as possible.
– Use of this spare will reduce ground
clearance.
o Recommended air pressure for this
spare is 4.2 bar (60 psi).
– Do not use tire chains on the com-
pact spare. If you must use tire
chains, rearrange the wheels so stan-
dard tires and wheels are fitted to the
front axle.
WARNING
– The compact spare tire has
a much shorter tread life
than the conventional tires on your
vehicle. Replace the tire as soon as
the tread wear indicator appears.
– When replacing the compact spare
tire, use a replacement tire with the
exact same size and construction.

cident.

diagonally opposite of the wheel being
lifted.
