2015 FIAT BRAVO inflation pressure

TPMS (Tyre Pressure Monitoring
System)(for versions/markets, where provided)
The car may be fitted with a tyre pressure
monitoring system (TPMS), which informs the driver
of the tyre inflation status via the "Check tyre
pressure" and "Low tyre pressure" messages on the
display. For a detailed description of the two
messages, see the "Warning lights and messages"
chapter.
The system comprises a radio-frequency transmitter
fitted to each wheel (on the wheel rim inside the
tyre), which is able to send information on the tyre
inflation pressure of each wheel to the control unit.
WARNING
The presence of the TPMS does not
permit the driver to neglect regular
checking of the pressure of the tyres and the
spare wheel (see "Wheels" in the "Maintenance
and care" chapter).
WARNING
Sensor malfunctioning fault indications are not stored
and will therefore not be displayed after the engine
has been switched off and then on again. If the
fault conditions persist, the control unit will send the
relative indications to the instrument panel only
after the vehicle has been in motion for a short time. Tyre pressure must be checked with tyres rested and
cold. Should it become necessary for whatever
reason to check pressure with warm tyres, do not
reduce pressure even though it is higher than the
prescribed value, but repeat the check when tyres
are cold (see "Wheels" in the "Technical data"
chapter).
The TPMS is not able to warn you of sudden tyre
pressure losses (for example when a tyre bursts). In
this case, stop the car, braking with caution and
avoiding abrupt steering.
Particularly strong radio-frequency interference may
cause the TPMS to function incorrectly. This
condition is indicated to the driver by a warning light
or symbol lighting up on the instrument panel
together with a dedicated message. The message will
disappear automatically as soon as the radio-
frequency interference ceases to affect the system.
The TPMS requires the use of specific equipment.
Contact a Fiat Dealership to find out which
accessories are compatible with the system (wheels,
hub caps, etc.). Using other accessories may hinder
the normal operation of the system. Given the
unique valve specifications, only use Fiat-approved
sealers to repair the tyres. The use of other sealers
may prevent the normal operation of the system.

If the vehicle is fitted with TPMS, when a tyre is
removed, it is advisable to replace the rubber gasket
for the valve as well as the ring nut fixing the sensor.
Have this operation performed at a Fiat Dealership.
If the punctured tyre indication persists on the
instrument panel after the initial conditions have
been restored using the tyre repair kit ("Fix&Go
Automatic"), contact a Fiat Dealership.
Changes in outside temperature may cause tyre
pressures to vary. The TPMS may temporarily
indicate insufficient pressure. In this case, check the
tyre pressure when cold and, if necessary, restore
the inflation values.
If the vehicle is fitted with TPMS, tyre and/or rims
fitting/removal operations require specific
precautions. To avoid damaging the sensors or fitting
them incorrectly, tyre and/or rims fitting/removal
operations should be carried out only by specialists.
Contact a Fiat Dealership.
The tyre repair kit ("Fix&Go Automatic")
provided with the car is compatible with
the TPMS sensors; using sealants not
equivalent with that in the original kit may
adversely affect its operation. If sealants not
equivalent with the original one are used, it
is recommended to have the TPMS sensors
checked by a qualified repair centre.

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.

❒fit the hub cap so that the inflation valve can exit
through the special slot visible on the cap itself;
❒ pressure-fit the hub cap starting from the parts
nearest to the inflation valve and continue until
it is completely fitted.
IMPORTANT If it is not fitted properly, the hub cap
may detach itself when the car is running. Versions with alloy rims
Proceed as follows:
❒
tighten centering pin A fig. 130 in one of the fixing
bolt openings on the wheel hub;
❒ place the wheel on the pin and tighten the bolts
using the wrench provided. Bolt insertion is eased
by the use of the extension B provided;
❒ undo centering pin A and tighten the last fastening
bolt;
❒ lower the car and remove the jack;
❒ using the wrench provided, fully tighten the bolts
in the same sequence shown previously for the
space-saver wheel (see fig. 129);
❒ refit the hub cap.

INFLATING PROCEDURE
WARNING
Wear the protective gloves provided
with the kit .
Proceed as follows:
❒ operate the handbrake. Unscrew the tyre valve
cap, take out the flexible filler pipe A fig. 134
and tighten the ring nut B on the tyre valve;
❒ make sure that switch E fig. 136 for the
compressor is in position 0 (off ), start the engine,
insert plug D fig. 135 into the cigar lighter socket
and switch on the compressor by placing switch
E fig. 136 in position I (on). Inflate the tyre to the
pressure specified in the "Cold tyre pressures"
paragraph in "Technical data" chapter. Check tyre
pressure on pressure gauge F fig. 136 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 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 and
recheck the tyre pressure; remember to apply the
handbrake;
❒ if, on the other hand, the pressure is at least 1.8
bar, restore the correct pressure (with the engine
running and the handbrake applied) and resume
driving;
❒ drive with the utmost care to the nearest Fiat
Dealership.
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 Fix&Go
Automatic kit . Drive carefully, particularly on
bends. Do not exceed 80 km/h. Do not
accelerate or brake suddenly.
WARNING
If the pressure has fallen below 1.8 bar,
do not drive any further: the Fix&Go
Automatic kit cannot guarantee proper hold
because the tyre is too damaged. Contact a Fiat
Dealership.WARNING
You must always indicate that the tyre
was repaired using the Fix&Go
Automatic kit . Give the booklet to the
technicians who will be handling the tyre that
was treated using the kit .

WARNING
If the car will be unused for an extended period of time in extremely cold
weather conditions, remove the battery andstore it in a heated area to prevent it fromfreezing.
WARNING
Always wear appropriate goggles whenworking on or near the battery.
WHEELS AND TYRESBefore long trips, and every two weeks, check thetyre and space-saver wheel inflation pressure (forversions/markets, where provided). Check the tyreswhen cold. While driving the car, the pressure increases under standard conditions: for the correct tyre inflationpressure, see "Wheels" paragraph in the "Technicalspecifications" chapter. Incorrect pressure causes abnormal tyre wear fig. 178: A normal pressure: tread evenly worn;B low pressure: tread particularly worn at the edges;C high pressure: tread particularly worn in the
centre.fig. 178
