WHEELS AND TYRES
Before embarking on a long trip, and every two weeks, check the tyre
inflation pressure and space-saver wheel. Check the tyres when cold.
While driving the car, the pressure increases under standard
conditions: for the correct tyre inflation pressure, see "Wheels"
paragraph in the "Technical specifications" chapter.
Incorrect pressure causes abnormal tyre wear fig. 166:
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.IMPORTANT
Take the following precautions to prevent damage to the tyres:
❒avoid braking suddenly, racing starts and violent impact against the
curb, potholes or other obstacles and driving for extended periods
on uneven road surfaces;
❒periodically check that the tyres have no cuts in the side wall,
abnormal swelling or irregular tyre wear;
❒avoid travelling with the car overloaded. If you puncture a tyre, stop
immediately and replace it;
❒change the position of the tyres every 10-15 thousand kilometres,
keeping them on the same side of the car to avoid inverting the
direction of rotation;
❒tyres age even if they are not used much. Cracks in the tread and on
the sidewalls are a sign of ageing. Have the tyres checked by
specialised personnel if they have been fitted for longer than 6
years. Remember to check the space-saver wheel very carefully;
❒In the case of replacement, always fit new tyres, avoiding those of
dubious origin;
❒if a tyre is replaced, also replace the inflation valve.

AUX
(for versions/markets, where provided)
INTRODUCTION
This section describes the variants regarding the operation of the
AUX source: as far as the operation of the radio is concerned, refer
to the description in the "Functions and Adjustments" section.
AUX MODE
To activate the AUX source, press the MEDIA button or the SRC
control on the steering wheel repeatedly until the corresponding
source is displayed.
The AUX socket is located on the central tunnel next to the power
socket (or next to the cigar lighter socket, depending on the
versions) fig. 3.IMPORTANT
The functions of the device connected with the AUX socket are
directly managed by the device itself; it is not possible to change
track/folder/playlist with radio or steering wheel controls.
Do not leave the cable of your portable player connected to the
AUX socket after disconnecting, to avoid possible hiss from the
speakers.
