SNOW TYRES
Fiat Dealerships will be happy to
provide advice concerning the most
suitable type of tyres 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 the "Wheels" paragraph of the
"Technical specifications" section.
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 characteristics, under
normal conditions of use or on long
motorway journeys, the performance of
these tyres is lower than that of
standard tyres. Limit performance
according to the use for which they
were approved.
IMPORTANT When using snow tyres
with a maximum speed index below the
one that can be reached by the vehicle
(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 as well as a
good manoeuvrability.Remember that you should not change
the rotation direction of the tyres.118)
WARNING
118)The max. speed for snow tyres with
“Q” marking is 160 km/h. The Road Traffic
Code speed limits must however be
always strictly observed.
SNOW CHAINS
The use of snow chains should be in
compliance with local 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.
119)
WARNING
119)Keep your speed down when snow
chains are fitted; do not exceed 50 km/h.
Avoid potholes, steps and pavements
and avoid driving for long distances on
roads not covered with snow to prevent
damaging the vehicle and the roadbed.

GENERAL
INSTRUCTIONS
Before replacing a bulb check the
contacts for oxidation;
burnt bulbs must be replaced by
others of the same type and power;
always check the headlight beam
alignment after replacing a bulb;
when a light is not working, check
that the corresponding fuse is intact
before changing a bulb. For the location
of fuses, refer to the paragraph “If a
fuse blows” in this section.
120) 121)
24) 25)IMPORTANT The headlight inner
surface might be slightly misted: this
does not indicate a fault, it is a natural
phenomenon due to low temperature
and the air humidity level. Misting
will disappear rapidly when the
headlights are turned on. The presence
of drops inside the headlights indicates
infiltration of water. Contact a Fiat
Dealership.
