(Continued)
Never use a tire with a smaller load index or
capacity, other than what was originally
equipped on your vehicle. Using a tire with a
smaller load index could result in tire overloading
and failure. You could lose control and have a
collision.
Failure to equip your vehicle with tires having
adequate speed capability can result in sudden
tire failure and loss of vehicle control.
Replacing original tires with tires of a
different size may result in false speed-
ometer and odometer readings. TIRE CHAINS
Use of Security Chain Company (SCC) Super Z6
SZ143 or Iceman Z6 IZ-643 cables or equivalent are
recommended on 225/65R17 tires.
NOTE:
These chains can be found referring to an authorized
FIAT Dealership.
Do not use tire chains on a compact spare tire.
To avoid damage to your vehicle or tires,
observe the following precautions:
Use chains on 225/65R17 tires only.
Because of restricted chain clearance between
tires and other suspension components, it is im-
portant that only chains in good condition are
used. Broken chains can cause serious damage.
Stop the vehicle immediately if noise occurs that
could indicate chain breakage. Remove the dam-
aged parts of the chain before further use.
Install chains on the front wheels as tightly as
possible and then retighten after driving about
0.8 km.
