WHEELS
RIMS AND TYRES
Pressed steel or alloy rims. Tubeless radial carcass tyres.
All approved tyres are listed in the Vehicle Registration
Document.
IMPORTANT In the event of discrepancies between the
information provided in this “Owner’s handbook” and
the “Registration Document”, consider the specifications
shown in the log book only.
For safe driving, the car must be fitted with tyres of the
same make and type on all wheels.
IMPORTANT Do not use inner tubes with Tubeless tyres.
SPACE-SAVER WHEEL
Pressed steel wheel. Tubeless tyre.

The figures refer to the car in running order.UNDERSTANDING TYRE MARKING fig. 5
Example: 195/55 R 16 91 V
195 = Nominal width (S, distance in mm between
sidewalls).
55 = Height/width ratio (H/S) as a percentage.
R = Radial tyre.
16 = Rim diameter in inches (Ø).
91 = Load rating (capacity).
V = Maximum speed index.

UNDERSTANDING RIM MARKING fig. 5
Example: 6J x 15 H2 ET 31.5
6 = rim diameter in inches (1).
J = rim drop centre outline (side projection where the
tyre bead rests) (2).
15 = rim nominal diameter in inches (corresponds to di-
ameter of the tyre to be mounted) (3 = Ø).
H2 = shape and number of humps (contour used for
withholding tubeless tyre beads on the rim).
ET 31.5 = wheel camber angle (distance between the
disc/rim supporting plane and the wheel rim
centre line).
fig. 5aL0E0193m
RIM PROTECTORS fig. 5a
Do not fit wheel caps when using caps fixed
(with springs) to the steel rim and tyres other
than factory-fitted tyres provided with Rim
Protector (fig. 5a). The use of unsuitable tyres and
wheel hub caps could cause a sudden pressure loss
in the tyre.

(*) Depending on the trim level, the space-saver for the 1.9 Twin Turbo Multijet and the 2.0 Multijet has a 205/55 R16-91V tyre
and a 7Jx16"-ET31 rim. In this case the 205/55 R16 91V tyre has the same specifications as the space-saver: the information
in “Replacing a wheel” therefore refers to the 205/55 R16 91V tyre.

On 205/55 R16-91V tyres, use reduced size snow chains with a maximum projection of 9 mm beyond
the tyre profile. On 225/45 R17-91W tyres, use reduced size snow chains with a maximum projec-
tion of 7 mm beyond the tyre profile.
IMPORTANT Special techniques need to be adopted for 225/40 R18 92W tyres. For this reason, this tyre can only
be ordered when the car is purchased. Do not fit this tyre after the vehicle has been purchased!

Add +0.3 bar to the prescribed pressure when the tyres are warm. Check correct pressure on a cold tyre.
With snow tyres, add +0.2 bar to the inflation pressure value prescribed for standard tyres.
When travelling at speeds over 160 km/h, inflate the tyres to the values specified for fully laden conditions.
