2014 FIAT QUBO inflation pressure

WARNING
Use your hazard lights, warning triangle,
etc . to show that your vehicle is
stationary according to the regulations in force.
Passengers should get out of the vehicle,
particularly if it is heavily loaded, and wait for
the wheel to be changed away from the traffic .
If you are on a slope or uneven surface, place
wedges or other suitable objects under the
wheels to secure the vehicle. Have the standard
wheel repaired and refitted as soon as possible.
Do not apply grease to the bolt threads before
fitting: they could unscrew themselves.
WARNING
Use the jack only to replace wheels on
the vehicle with which it is supplied
or on other vehicles of the same model. Never
use the jack for other purposes, such as lifting
other models. Never use the jack to carr y out
repairs under the vehicle. Incorrect positioning
of the jack may cause the raised vehicle to
fall. Do not use the jack for loads higher than
the one shown on its label.
WARNING
Incorrect hub cap assembly may cause it
to come off when the car is moving.
Never tamper with the inflation valve. Never
introduce tools of any kind between rim and
tyre. Check tyre and spare wheel pressures
regularly, complying with the values given in the
"Technical specifications" chapter.
Important notes:
❒the jack weighs 1.76 kg;
❒the jack requires no adjustment;
❒the jack cannot be repaired; if it breaks, it must be
replaced with a new one of the same type;
❒no tool other than the cranking handle may be
fitted on the jack.
To change a wheel proceed as follows:
❒stop the vehicle in a position where it is not a
danger for other traffic and where you can replace
the wheel safely. The ground should be flat and
solid;
❒stop the engine off and pull up the handbrake;
❒engage first gear or reverse;
❒wear the reflective safety jacket (compulsory by
law) before getting out of the vehicle;

❒make sure that switch E fig. 131 of the compressor
is at 0 (off ), start the engine, insert plug D fig. 130
in the cigar lighter socket and turn the compressor
on by setting switch E fig. 131 to I (on). Inflate
the tyre to the pressure specified in the "Cold tyre
pressures" paragraph in the "Technical
specifications" section. For a more accurate
reading, check pressure gauge F fig. 131 with the
compressor off;
❒if after 5 minutes it is still impossible to reach at
least 1.5 bar, disengage compressor from valve
and unplug it from the socket, then move the car
forth for approx. ten 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 suitable
sealing, contact Fiat Dealership;
❒if you do reach the tyre pressure specified in the
“Cold tyre pressures” paragraph of the “Technical
specifications” section, continue your journey
immediately;
WARNING
Apply the adhesive label where it can be
easily seen by the driver as a reminder
that the tyre has been treated with the quick
repair kit . Drive carefully, particularly on bends.
Do not exceed 80 km/h. Do not accelerate or
brake suddenly.

REGULAR CHECKSEvery 1,000 km or before long journeys, check and, if
necessary, top up:
❒engine coolant level;
❒brake fluid level;
❒windscreen washer fluid level;
❒tyre inflation pressure and condition;
❒operation of lighting system (headlamps, direction
indicators, hazard warning lights, etc.);
❒operation of screen wash/wipe system and
positioning/wear of windscreen/rear window wiper
blades.
Check and top up, if required, the engine oil level
every 3,000 km.
You are recommended to use PETRONAS
LUBRICANTS products, which have been designed
and produced specifically for Fiat vehicles (see
“Capacities” table in the “Technical specifications”
section).
HEAVY USAGE OF THE VEHICLEShould prevailing use of the vehicle be under one of
the following specially heavy conditions:
❒towing a trailer or caravan;
❒dusty roads;
❒short, repeated journeys (less than 7-8 km) at
sub-zero outside temperatures;
❒engine often idling, or driving long distances at low
speed (e.g. door to door deliveries) or long period
of idleness;
❒urban trips;
you should perform the following inspections more
frequently than shown in the Scheduled Servicing
Plan:
❒check front disc brake pad condition and wear;
❒check cleanliness of bonnet and boot locks,
cleanliness and lubrication of linkage;

IMPORTANT If the battery remains with the charge
below 50% for a long time it becomes damaged
through sulphation and its starting capacity is
reduced.
The battery is also more prone to the risk of freezing
(at temperatures as high as -10°C).
Refer to the paragraph "Vehicle inactivity" in "Starting
and driving" if the vehicle is left parked for a long
time.
If, after buying the vehicle, you want to install
electric accessories which require permanent electric
supply (alarm, etc.) contact the Fiat Dealership
whose qualified personnel, in addition to suggesting
the most suitable devices, will evaluate the overall
electric absorption, checking whether the vehicle
electric system is capable of withstanding the load
required, or whether it should be integrated with
a more powerful battery.
Since these devices continue to use electricity even
when the engine is off, they gradually run down
the battery.
WHEELS AND TYRESCheck 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
vehicle is used; for the correct tyre inflation
pressure, see “Wheels” in the “Technical
specifications” section.
Incorrect pressure causes abnormal tyre wear
fig. 173:A
normal pressure: tread evenly worn.
Blow 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 country where you are driving.fig. 173

IMPORTANT
❒Avoid braking suddenly, burning starts and violent
knocks against the curb, potholes or other
obstacles if possible. 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 required.
❒avoid overloading the car when travelling: this may
cause serious damage to the wheels and tyres;
❒if a tyre is punctured, stop immediately and charge
it to avoid damage to the tyre, the rim,
suspensions and steering system;
❒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 personnel if they have been fitted for
longer than six years. Remember to check the
spare wheel very carefully;
❒in the case of replacement, always fit new tyres,
avoiding those of dubious origin;
❒if a tyre is changed, also change the inflation valve;
❒to allow even wear between the front and rear
tyres, it is advisable to change them over every
10-15 thousand kilometres, keeping them on the
same side of the vehicle so as not to reverse
the direction of rotation.
WARNING
Remember that the road holding
qualities of your vehicle also depend on
the correct inflation pressure of the tyres.
WARNING
Excessively low pressure will cause
overheating of the tyre and may cause
severe tyre damage.
WARNING
Do not exchange the tyres from the left
to the right of the vehicle and vice versa.
WARNING
Do not repaint alloy wheel rims at
temperatures higher than 150°C.The
mechanical characteristics of the wheels might
be compromised.
