WARNING
It is not possible to repair damage to the
tyre sidewall. Do not use the quick
repair kit if the tyre was damaged by running
on a flat .
WARNING
Repair is not possible if the wheel rim is
damaged (groove is deformed, causing
air to escape). Do not remove foreign bodies
(screws or nails) from the tyre.IMPORTANT INFORMATION:
The sealing fluid of the quick tyre repair kit is
effective at external temperatures of between -20°C
and +50°C.
WARNING
Do not operate the compressor for
longer than 20 minutes at a time. Risk
of overheating.The quick repair kit is not
suitable for definitive repairs, so the tyres
repaired may be used only temporarily.Dispose of the cylinder and the sealant
properly. Dispose according to the
national and local laws in force.

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.

RUBBER LINESFollow the requirements in “Scheduled Servicing
Plan” in this section carefully for brake and fuel
rubber lines.
Ozone, high temperatures and a prolonged lack of
fluid in the system may cause hardening and cracking
of the tubes, which could result in leaks. Careful
inspections are therefore necessary.
WINDSCREEN/REAR WINDOW
WIPERS(for versions/markets, where provided)
BLADES
Regularly clean the rubber part using appropriate
products; TUTELA PROFESSIONAL SC 35 is
recommended.
Replace the blades if the rubber edge is misshapen or
worn. In any event, it is advisable to replace them
approximately once a year.
A few simple precautions can reduce the possibility
of damage to the blades:
❒make sure that the rubber part is not stuck to the
windscreen at sub-zero temperatures. Use an
antifreeze product to release it if required;
❒remove any snow from the glass: in addition to
protecting the blades, this prevents the electric
motor from overheating;
❒do not operate the windscreen and rear window
wipers on dry glass.
WARNING
Driving with worn wiper blades is a
serious hazard, because visibility is
reduced in bad weather.
