2012 FIAT BRAVO tyre pressure

TPMS FAILURE
(for versions/markets, where provided)
On some versions, the display shows a message and
an amber symbol when a tyre pressure monitoring
system (TPMS) fault is detected: in this case,
contact a Fiat Dealership as soon as possible.
Should one or more wheels be fitted without
sensors, the display will show a warning message
until initial conditions are restored.INSUFFICIENT TYRE PRESSURE
(amber-red) / CHECK TYRE
PRESSURE (amber) / TYRE
PRESSURE UNSUITABLE FOR
SPEED (amber)
(for versions/markets, where provided)
This warning light switches on when the ignition
key is turned to MAR-ON, but it should switch off
after a few seconds.
Insufficient tyre pressure
The warning light (amber), or symbol in the display
(red), switch on when the inflation pressure of
one or more tyres falls below a preset level. In this
way the TPMS warns the driver that one or more
tyres may be dangerously flat and liable to
puncture.IMPORTANT Do not continue driving with one or
more flat tyres as handling may be compromised.
Stop the car, avoiding harsh braking and steering
manoeuvres. Replace the wheel immediately with
the space-saver wheel (for versions/markets, where
provided) or carry out a repair using the dedicated
kit (see “Changing a wheel” in the "In an
emergency" chapter) and contact a Fiat Dealership
as soon as possible.
Check tyre pressure
This warning light (or symbol in the display)
switches on in the instrument panel to indicate that
the tyre pressure is below the value recommended
to guarantee long tyre life and low fuel
consumption. It may also indicate a slow loss of
pressure.
Should two or more tyres be flat, the display will
show the indications corresponding to each tyre in
sequence.
Restore correct tyre pressures as soon as possible
(see “Cold tyre pressures” in the “Technical data”
chapter).
Tyre pressure unsuitable for speed
Should you need to travel at a speed higher than
160 km/h, inflate the tyres to the pressures
specified in “Tyre pressures” paragraph.
If the TPMS system (for versions/markets where
provided) detects that the pressure of one or more
tyres is unsuitable for the current speed, the

warning light will turn on (together with the
message on the display) (see “Tyre pressure low” in
this chapter) and it will stay on until the car slows
down to a speed below the preset threshold.
IMPORTANT In this case slow down immediately
since tyre overheating could impair tyre
performance and life beyond repair, and even make
the tyre to blow-out.
WARNING
Particularly strong radio frequency
interference may cause the TPMS to
function incorrectly.This condition is indicated
to the driver by a message (for versions/
markets where provided).The message will
disappear automatically as soon as the
interference ceases to affect the system.EXTERNAL LIGHT FAILURE
(amber)
This warning light (or symbol on the display)
switches on when a failure is detected in any of the
following lights:
❒side lights
❒brake (stop) lights or corresponding fuse (see the
description provided for this symbol
).❒rear fog lights
❒direction indicators
❒number plate lights.
The failure relating to these lights could be: one or
more blown bulbs, a blown protection fuse or a
break in the electrical connection.
The display will show the dedicated message.
BRAKE LIGHT FAILURE (amber)
The symbol switches on in the display when a
failure is detected in the brake (stop) lights.
The failure relating to these lights could be: one or
more blown bulbs, a blown protection fuse or a
break in the electrical connection.
On certain versions warning light
comes on
instead.
REAR FOG LIGHTS (amber)
The warning light switches on when the rear fog
lights are activated.

WARNING
Alert other drivers that the car is
stationary in compliance with local
regulations: hazard warning lights, warning
triangle, etc . Any passengers on board should
leave the car, especially if it is heavily laden.
Passengers should stay away from on-coming
traffic while the wheel is being changed. On
hills or uneven roads, use chocks or
appropriate objects to block the wheels of the
car.
WARNING
The car's driving characteristics will be
modified with the space-saver wheel
fitted. Avoid sudden starting or stopping, sharp
or fast turns.The total life of a space-saver
wheel is approximately 3000 km, after which it
must be replaced by another wheel of the
same type. Never install a traditional tyre on a
rim designed to be used as a space-saver
wheel. Have the tyre repaired and refitted as
soon as possible. Using two or more space-
saver wheels at the same time is forbidden. Do
not grease the threads of bolts before fitting
them: they might slip out .
WARNING
The jack provided is only intended to
be used for replacing wheels on the car
with which it is supplied, or on same-model
vehicles. Never use the jack for other
purposes, such as lifting other car models.
Never use it for repair operations under the
car. Incorrectly positioning the jack may cause
the car to fall. Do not use the jack for loads
higher than the one shown on its label. Never
install snow chains on the space-saver wheel; if
a front tyre (driving wheel) is punctured and
you need to use snow chains, use a standard
wheel from the rear axle and install the
space-saver wheel on the rear axle. In this
way, with two normal drive wheels, it is
possible to use snow chains.
WARNING
Fit the hub cap correctly to prevent it
from coming free in motion. Never
tamper with the inflating valve. Never
introduce tools of any kind between rim and
tyre. Check tyre and space-saver wheel
pressures regularly, referring to the values
shown in the "Technical data" chapter.

Check tyre pressure on pressure gauge F fig. 154
with compressor off to obtain a more precise
reading;❒if after 5 minutes it is still impossible to reach at
least 1.5 bar, disengage the compressor from the
valve and power socket, then move the car
forwards by approx. 10 metres in order to
distribute the sealing fluid inside the tyre evenly,
then repeat the inflation operation;
❒if after this operation it is still impossible after 5
minutes to reach at least 1.8 bar, do not start
driving since the tyre is excessively damaged and
the quick tyre repair kit cannot guarantee proper
hold, contact a Fiat Dealership;
❒if reaching the tyre pressure specified in
paragraph “Inflation pressure” in chapter
“Technical Data”, start driving immediately;
❒after having driven for about 10 minutes, stop
