WHEELS AND TYRESCheck the pressure of each tyre, including the space-saver
wheel, approximately every two weeks and before long
journeys: the pressure should be checked with the tyre
rested and cold.
While driving the car, the pressure increases under stan-
dard conditions: for the correct tyre inflation pressure, see
“Wheels” in “Technical specifications” chapter.
Incorrect pressure causes abnormal tyre wear fig. 185:
A standard pressure: tread evenly worn.
B low pressure: tread particularly worn at the edges.
C high pressure: tread particularly worn in the centre.
❒
the ceiling lights must be off. The car is however pro-
vided with an automatic system for switching-off inter-
nal lights;
❒
do not keep accessories (e.g. sound system, hazard
warning lights, etc...) switched on for a long time when
the engine is not running;
❒
before performing any operation on the electric system,
disconnect the battery negative cable;
❒
battery terminals shall always be perfectly tightened.
IMPORTANT If the charge level remains for a long time
under 50%, the battery is damaged by sulphation, reduc-
ing its capacity and starting attitude.
The battery will also be more at risk of freezing (e.g. al-
ready at −10 °C). Refer to the paragraph “Car inactivity”
in “Starting and driving” if the car is left parked for a long
time.
If after buying the car, you want to install electric acces-
sories which require permanent electric supply (alarm, etc.)
or accessories influencing the electrical supply require-
ments, contact Fiat Dealership whose skilled personnel, in
addition to suggesting the most suitable devices included
in Lineaccessori Fiat, will evaluate the overall electric ab-
sorption, checking whether the car’s electric system is ca-
pable of withstanding the load required, or whether it
should be integrated with a more powerful battery.
Since these devices continue absorbing energy even when
the ignition key is off, they gradually run down the battery.
