LIFTING THE
VEHICLE
If the vehicle needs to be jacked up, go
to a Fiat Dealership, which is equipped
with shop jacks and jack arms.
The vehicle lifting points are marked on
the side panels with the
symbols
(see illustration in fig. 164 ).
WHEELS AND TYRES
164) 165) 166) 167) 168)
SNOW CHAINS
69)
205/55 R16 and 195/65 R15 tyres can
be fitted with 9 mm snow chains.
Important notes
The use of snow chains should be in
compliance with local regulations of
each country. In certain countries, tyres
marked with code M+S (Mud and
Snow) are considered as winter
equipment; therefore their use is
equivalent to that of the snow chains.
The snow chains may be applied only
to the front wheel tyres.
Check the tension of the snow chains
after the first few metres have been
driven.
IMPORTANT Using snow chains with
tyres with non-original dimensions may
damage the vehicle.
IMPORTANT Using different size or type
(M+S, snow, etc.) tyres between front
and rear axle may adversely affect
vehicle driveability, with the risk of losing
control of the vehicle and resulting
accidents.
WARNING
164)The road holding qualities of the car
also depend on the correct inflation
pressure of the tyres.
165)If tyre pressure is too low, it may
overheat and be severely damaged as a
result.
166)If the tyres are "unidirectional", do not
switch tyres from the right-hand side of the
vehicle to the left-hand side, and vice
versa. This type of tyres can only be
switched from the front axle to the rear axle
and vice versa, keeping them on the same
side of the vehicle.
167)Never submit alloy rims to repainting
treatments requiring the use of
temperatures exceeding 150°C. The
mechanical properties of the wheels could
be impaired.
168)Travelling with partially or completely
deflated tyres can cause safety problems
and damage the concerned tyre beyond
repair.
IMPORTANT
69)Keep your speed down when snow
chains are fitted; do not exceed 50 km/h.
Avoid potholes, do not drive over steps or
sidewalks and do not drive long distances
over roads without snow, to avoid
damaging both your vehicle and the road
surface.

the tyre profile.

COLD TYRE INFLATION PRESSURE (bar)
When the tires are warm, the inflation pressure should be + 0.3 bar in relation to the recommended figure. However, recheck
that the value is correct with the tyre cold.
With snow tyres, add +0.2 bar to the pressure value prescribed for standard tyres.
If it is necessary to raise the vehicle, refer to the "Raising the vehicle" paragraph in the "In an emergency" chapter.

(*) After using the spare wheel in an emergency, where necessary, align the pressure of the wheel to the recommended value as soon as
possible.
WARNING
173)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. The highway
code speed limits must however always be complied with.
174)If winter tyres with a lower speed rating than that indicated in the Registration Document are used, do not exceed the maximum speed
corresponding to the speed rating of the tyres used.
