2012 FIAT BRAVO wheel size

WARNING
If the space-saver wheel is used, the
ESP system keeps operating. Always
remember that the space-saver wheel, being
smaller than the original wheel provides less
grip. For the correct operation of the ESP and
ASR systems it is vital that the tyres are the
same make and the same type on all the
wheels, in perfect condition and, above all, the
prescribed type, make and size.
ASR SYSTEM (Antislip Regulation)
This is integral to the ESP system and automatically
intervenes if one or both drive wheels slip, helping
the driver to control the car.
Depending on the slipping conditions, two different
control systems are activated:
❒if the slipping involves both drive wheels, the ASR
intervenes reducing the power transmitted by the
engine;
❒if the slipping only involves one of the drive
wheels, the ASR intervenes automatically braking
the wheel that is slipping.
The action of the ASR system is particularly helpful
in the following circumstances:
❒slipping of the inner wheel on bends due to
dynamic variations in the load or excessive
acceleration;❒excessive power transmitted to the wheels, also
in relation to road surface conditions;
❒acceleration on slippery, snowy or icy road
surfaces;
❒loss of grip on wet road surfaces (aquaplaning).
MSR SYSTEM (ENGINE DRIVE
REGULATION)
This is an integral part of the ASR system that, in
the event of a sudden gear downshifting, cuts in and
provides torque to the engine thus preventing
excessive drive wheel drive which, especially in
poor grip conditions, can lead to loss of stability.
ENGAGEMENT/DISENGAGEMENT OF THE
ASR SYSTEM
The ASR system switches on automatically each
time the engine is started.
When the system is active, a message is shown on
the display (see “Warning lights and messages”
chapter).
Whilst driving, the ASR can be deactivated and
subsequently activated again by pressing the ASR
OFF button on the dashboard, next to the steering
wheel.
Whilst driving, the ASR can be switched off and
subsequently switched on again by pressing button
C.

Every time the ignition key is turned to MAR-ON
the ASR OFF button LED switches on for a few
seconds to indicate that the system is running
a diagnosis. The LED activation should not
be understood as a fault.
When the ASR is switched off, the button LED
lights up (along with a message on the display, see
“Warning lights and messages” chapter).
If the ASR is switched off when driving, it is
automatically switched on again when the vehicle is
started up.When travelling on snowy roads with snow chains,
it may be helpful to turn the ASR off: in fact, in
these conditions, slipping of the drive wheels when
moving off makes it possible to obtain better
traction.
Fault indications In the event of a fault, the ASR
system will be deactivated automatically and the
warning light will switch on constantly on the
instrument panel (together with a message on the
display) (see “Warning lights and messages”
chapter). In this case, contact a Fiat Dealership as
soon as possible.
WARNING
The ASR system will not operate when
a spare wheel is fitted: in this case,
thewarning light will switch on constantly
in the instrument panel (together with a
message on the display) (see “Warning lights
and messages” chapter).
WARNING
For the correct operation of the ESP
and ASR systems it is vital that the
tyres are the same make and the same type on
all the wheels, in perfect condition and, above
all, the recommended type, make and size.

SNOW TYRESUse snow tyres of the same size as the normal
tyres provided with the car.
A Fiat Dealership will be happy to provide advice
concerning the most suitable type of tyre for
the customer's requirements.
For the type of tyre to be used, inflation pressures
and the specifications of snow tyres, follow the
instructions given in paragraph "Wheels" in section
"Technical specifications".
The winter features of these tyres are reduced
considerably when the tread depth is below 4 mm.
Replace them in this case.
Due to snow tyre features, under normal
conditions of use or on long motorway journeys,
the performance of these tyres is much 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 index below the one that can be
reached by the car (increased by 5%), place a notice
in the passenger compartment, plainly in view,
which states the maximum speed allowed by the
snow tyres (as per EC Directive).
All four tyres should be the same (brand and track)
to ensure greater safety when driving and braking
and better driveability.
Remember that you should not change the rotation
direction of the tyres.
WARNING
The maximum speed for snow tyres
marked “Q” is 160 km/h, while it is 190
km/h for “T” tyres and 210 km/h for "H" tyres.
You should, however, always stick to the speed
limits of the Road Traffic Code.

SNOW CHAINSThe use of snow chains should be in compliance
with local regulations.
The snow chains may be applied only onto the front
wheel tyres (drive wheels).
Check the tension of the snow chains after the first
few metres have been driven.
Use reduced size snow chains:
– on 195/65 R15” and 205/55 R16” tyres, use
reduced size snow chains with a maximum
projection of 9 mm beyond the tyre profile;
– on 225/45 R17” tyres, use reduced size snow
chains with a maximum projection of 7 mm beyond
the tyre profile.IMPORTANT Snow chains cannot be fitted to the
space-saver spare wheel. If the front tyre has a
puncture, replace a rear wheel with the spare wheel
and move the rear wheel to the front axle. This
way with two normal drive wheels, snow chains can
be fitted to them to solve an emergency.
IMPORTANT 225/40 R18 92V tyres cannot be
fitted with chains. Snow chains may cause
interference with the surrounding elements.
Keep your speed down when snow chains
are fitted; do not exceed 50 km/h. Avoid
potholes, steps and pavements and avoid
driving for long distances on roads not covered
with snow to prevent damaging the car and
the roadbed.
