IMPORTANT NOTES
❒ Where possible, avoid braking suddenly, wheel-spinning
and crashing into kerbs, potholes or other obstacles.
Long distances on uneven roads can damage the tyres;
❒ check the tyres regularly for cuts on the sides, swelling
or irregular tread wear. Go to a Fiat Dealership if re-
quired.
❒ avoid overloading the car when travelling: this may cause
serious damage to the wheels and tyres;
❒ if a tyre is punctured, stop the vehicle immediately and
change it to avoid damage to the tyre, the rim, and the
suspension and steering systems;
❒ a tyre will age even if it is not used much. Cracks in
the tread and on the sidewalls are a sign of ageing. In
any event, have the tyres checked by specialised per-
sonnel if they have been fitted for longer than six years.
Remember to check the spare wheel very carefully;
❒ In case of replacement, always fit new tyres, avoidingWHEELS AND TYRES
Check the pressure of each tyre, including the spare, every
two weeks and before long journeys. The pressure should
be checked with the tyre rested and cold.
It is normal for the pressure to increase when the vehi-
cle is used; for the correct tyre inflation pressure, see
“Wheels” in the “Technical specifications” section.
Incorrect pressure causes abnormal tyre wear fig. 186:
A normal pressure: tread evenly worn.
B low pressure: tread particularly worn at the edges.
C high pressure: tread particularly worn in the centre.
The tyres must be replaced when the tread is less than 1.6
mm thick. In all cases, follow the laws in force in the coun-
try where you are driving.

VEHICLE BODY
AND UNDERBODY WARRANTY
Your vehicle is covered by warranty against perforation
due to rust of any original element of the structure or
body.
For the general terms of this warranty, refer to your War-
ranty Booklet.
ADVICE FOR PRESERVING THE BODYWORK
Paint
Paintwork does not only serve an aesthetic purpose, but
also protects the underlying sheet metal.
Touch up abrasions and scratches immediately to prevent
the formation of rust. Use only original paint products
for touch-ups (see “Bodywork paint identification plate”
in the “Technical specifications” section).
Standard upkeep of the paintwork consists of washing the
vehicle: the frequency depends on the conditions and en-
vironment where the vehicle is used.
For example, it is advisable to wash the vehicle more of-
ten in areas with high atmospheric pollution or if you are
travelling on roads sprinkled with salt.BODYWORK
PROTECTION FROM ATMOSPHERIC
AGENTS
The main causes of corrosion are the following:
❒ atmospheric pollution;
❒ salty air and humidity (coastal areas or hot and humid
climates);
❒ seasonal environmental conditions.
The abrasive action of wind-borne atmospheric dust and
sand, as well as mud and gravel raised by other cars, is al-
so not to be underestimated.
Fiat used the best manufacturing technologies on your ve-
hicle to effectively protect the bodywork against corro-
sion.
These are the most important:
❒ painting products and systems which give the vehicle
particular resistance to corrosion and abrasion;
❒ use of galvanised (or pre-treated) steel sheets with high
resistance to corrosion;
❒ spraying the underbody, engine compartment, wheel-
house internal parts and other elements with highly pro-
tective wax-based products;
❒ spraying protective plastic materials in the most exposed
areas: underdoor, inner mudguard parts, edges, etc.;
❒ using “open” boxed sections to prevent condensation
and pockets of moisture from triggering rust inside.

For diesel engines, in the event of an emergency in which the original p\
roducts are not available, lubricants with at least ACEA C2
performance are acceptable; however, in this case optimum engine perform\
ance is not guaranteed and the lubricants should be
replaced with recommended products as soon as possible at a Fiat Dealers\
hip.
The use of products with lower specifications than ACEA C2 could cause d\
amage to the engine not covered by the warranty.
When the vehicle is used under particularly harsh climate conditions req\
uest from Fiat Dealership the appropriate product of the PETRONAS
