SNOW TYRES
Fiat Dealerships will be happy to
provide advice concerning the most
suitable type of tyres for the
Customer’s requirements.
For the type of snow tyre to be
used, inflation pressures and the
specifications of the tyres, carefully
follow the instructions given in the
“Wheels” paragraph in the
“Technical Specifications” section.
The winter features of these tyres
are reduced considerably when the
tread depth is less than 4 mm. They
should be replaced in this case.
Due to snow tyre characteristics,
under normal conditions of use or
on long motorway journeys, the
performance of these tyres is lower
than that of standard tyres. Their
usage should therefore be restricted
in accordance with their type
approval.IMPORTANT When using snow
tyres with a maximum speed rating
lower than that of the vehicle
(increased by 5%), place a clearly
visible warning sign in the passenger
compartment warning other drivers
of the maximum speed rating of the
snow tyres used (as required by EC
directive).All four tyres should be
the same (brand and track) to
ensure greater safety when driving,
during braking and better
driveability.
Remember that it is inadvisable to
change the rotation direction of
tyres.
USING THE GEARBOX
To engage gears, fully depress the
clutch pedal and put the gear lever
into one of the positions in the
diagram fig. 106 (the diagram is also
shown on the knob).
IMPORTANT Reverse may be
engaged only when the vehicle is
stationary. With the engine running,
wait for at least 2 seconds with the
clutch pedal fully pressed before
engaging reverse, to prevent damage
to the gears and grating.
You must not exceed
160 km/h on snow tyres
with a “Q” mark; in any case,
make sure you comply with the
regulations of the highway
code.
