When the system is deactivated, the LED on the AS R OFF
button turns on and a me ssage appears in the reconfig-
urable multifunction di splay . When the AS R is s witched
off whils t driving, the next time the car i s s tarted up the
A SR is automaticall y s witched on b y the system.
When travelling on snowy roads with s now chains , it may
be helpful to turn the AS R off: in fact, in these conditions,
the driving wheels s kidding when moving off give s y ou
better traction.

STARTING AND DRIVING193
3
Keep your speed down when snow chains are
fitted. Do not exceed 50 km/h. Avoid potholes,
steps and pavements and also avoid driving
long distances on roads not covered with snow in
order to prevent damaging the car and the roadbed.
SNOW CHAINS
The use of snow chains should be in compliance with lo-
cal regulations.
The snow chains may be applied only onto the front wheel
(drive wheels).
Check the tension of the snow chains after the first few
metres have been driven.
IMPORTANT Snow chains cannot be fitted to the space-
saver wheel. So, if a front (drive) wheel is punctured and
chains are needed, a rear wheel should be fitted to the front
of the car and the space-saver wheel should be fitted to
the rear. In this way, with two normal drive wheels at the
front, snow chains can be fitted.
CAR INACTIVITY
If the car is to be left inactive for longer than a month, the
following precautions should be followed:
❍ park the car in a covered, dry and, if possible, well-
ventilated place;
❍ engage a gear;
❍ check that the handbrake is not engaged;
❍ disconnect the negative battery terminal;
❍ clean and protect the painted parts of the vehicle with
protective wax;
❍ clean and protect the shiny metal parts using special
compounds commercially available;
❍ sprinkle talcum powder on the rubber windscreen and
rear window wiper blades and lift them off the glass;
❍ open the windows slightly;
❍ cover the car with a fabric or perforated plastic sheet.
Do not use sheets of non-perforated plastic as they do
not allow moisture on the car body to evaporate;
❍ inflate tyres to a pressure of +0.5 bar above the nor-
mal specified pressure and check regularly;
❍ do not drain the engine cooling system.

Never remove or cover the label. Never apply
a hub cap on a space-saver wheel. The la-
bel bears the following instructions in four
languages: WARNING! FOR TEMPORARY USE
ONLY! 80 KM/H MAX.! REPLACE WITH STAN-
DARD WHEEL AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. DO NOT
COVER THIS LABEL.
If you change the type of wheel (alloy rims instead
of steel rims) you will have to change the entire set
of fastening bolts with another set of suitably sized
bolts.
Alert other drivers that the car is stationary
in compliance with local regulations: hazard
warning lights, warning triangle, etc. Any
passengers on board should leave the car, especial-
ly if it is heavily laden. Passengers should stay
away from on-coming traffic while the wheel is be-
ing changed. If parked on a slope or rough surface,
chock the wheels with wedges or other suitable de-
vices.
204IN AN EMERGENCY
The jack can only be used for changing
wheels on the car with which it is provided
or on cars of the same model. Never use the
jack for other purposes, such as lifting other car
models. Never use it for repair operations under the
car. Incorrect positioning of the jack may cause the
car to fall. Do not use the jack for loads higher than
those shown on the label. Snow chains cannot be fit-
ted to the space-saver wheel. Therefore, if a front
(drive) wheel is punctured and chains are required,
a rear wheel should be fitted at the front of the car
and the space-saver wheel should be fitted to the
rear. This way, with two normal front driving
wheels, you can install the snow chains on them,
thus resolving the emergency.
If the hub cap is not installed properly, it may
detach when the vehicle is running. Never
tamper with the inflation valve. Never intro-
duce tools of any kind between rim and tyre. Reg-
ularly check tyre and space-saver wheel pressure,
complying with the data in the chapter “6”.

(*) Depending on the trim level, the space-saver wheel for the 1.6 Multijet \
120 HP version has a 205/55 R16-91V tyre and a 7Jx16” - ET31 rim. In this case the 205/55 R16 91V tyre has the same specifications as the space-saver wheel: the informa-
tion in “Replacing a wheel” paragraph therefore refers to the 205/55 R16 91V tyre.

Rim Tyre
On 205/55 R16-91V tyres, use reduced size snow chains with a maximum pro\
jection of 9 mm beyond
the tyre profile. On 225/45 R17-91W tyres, use reduced size snow chains \
with a maximum projection
of 7 mm beyond the tyre profile.
IMPORTANT Special techniques need to be adopted for 225/40 R18 92W tyres. For this reason, these tyres can only
be requested when the vehicle is purchased. Do not fit this tyre after vehicle has been purchased !
