2017 FIAT 124 SPIDER ABARTH tire pressure

When reinstalling a previously
removed tire pressure sensor to a
wheel, replace the grommet (seal
between valve body/sensor and wheel)
for the tire pressure sensor.
Caution!
The TPMS has been optimized for the
original equipment tires and wheels. TPMS
pressures and warning have been
established for the tire size equipped on
your vehicle. Undesirable system operation
or sensor damage may result when using
replacement equipment that is not of the
same size, type, and/or style. Aftermarket
wheels can cause sensor damage.
Using aftermarket tire sealants may
cause the Tire Pressure Monitoring System
(TPMS) sensor to become inoperable.
After using an aftermarket tire sealant it is
recommended that you take your vehicle
to an Authorized Dealership to have your
sensor function checked.
After inspecting or adjusting the tire
pressure always reinstall the valve stem
cap. This will prevent moisture and dirt
from entering the valve stem, which could
damage the TPMS sensor.

VEHICLE LOADING
Certification Label
As required by National Highway Traffic
Safety Administration regulations, your
vehicle has a certification label affixed to
the driver's side door or pillar.
This label contains the month and year
of manufacture, Gross Vehicle Weight
Rating (GVWR), Gross Axle Weight
Rating (GAWR) front and rear, and
Vehicle Identification Number (VIN). A
Month-Day-Hour (MDH) number is
included on this label and indicates the
Month, Day and Hour of manufacture.
The bar code that appears on the
bottom of the label is your VIN.
Gross Vehicle Weight Rating
(GVWR)
The GVWR is the total permissible
weight of your vehicle including driver,
passengers, vehicle, options and cargo.
The label also specifies maximum
capacities of front and rear axle
systems (GAWR). Total load must be
limited so GVWR and front and rear
GAWR are not exceeded.
Payload
The payload of a vehicle is defined as
the allowable load weight a truck can
carry, including the weight of the driver,
all passengers, options and cargo.
Gross Axle Weight Rating
(GAWR)
The GAWR is the maximum permissible
load on the front and rear axles. The
load must be distributed in the cargo
area so that the GAWR of each axle is
not exceeded.
Each axle GAWR is determined by the
components in the system with the
lowest load carrying capacity (axle,
springs, tires or wheels). Heavier axles
or suspension components sometimes
specified by purchasers for increased
durability does not necessarily increase
the vehicle's GVWR.
Tire Size
The tire size on the Vehicle Certification
Label represents the actual tire size on
your vehicle. Replacement tires must be
equal to the load capacity of this tire
size.
Rim Size
This is the rim size that is appropriate
for the tire size listed.
Inflation Pressure
This is the cold tire inflation pressure for
your vehicle for all loading conditions up
to full GAWR.

Contact an Authorized Dealer to check
the following:
Have the proper ratio of antifreeze in
the radiator.
Inspect the battery and its leads.
Cold reduces battery capacity.
Use an engine oil appropriate for the
lowest ambient temperatures that the
vehicle will be driven in.
Inspect the ignition system for
damage and loose connections.
Use winter windshield washer fluid
that will not freeze.
Note:
Remove snow before driving. Snow
left on the windshield is dangerous as
it could obstruct vision.
Drive slowly. Braking performance
can be adversely affected if snow or
ice adheres to the brake components.
If this situation occurs, drive the vehicle
slowly, releasing the accelerator pedal
and lightly applying the brakes several
times until the brake performance
returns to normal.
Do not open or close the soft top when
the temperature is 41 °F (5 °C) or less.
The material of the soft top could be
damaged by freezing.
Do not apply excessive force to a
window scraper when removing ice or
frozen snow on the mirror glass and
windshield. Never use warm or hot water for
removing snow or ice from windows
and mirrors as it could result in the
glass cracking.
Snow Tires
If your vehicle is equipped with the tire
pressure monitoring system (vehicle
with run-flat tires), the system may not
function correctly when using tires with
steel wire reinforcement in the
sidewalls.
Use Snow Tires on all Four Wheels
:
Do not exceed the maximum
permissible speed for your snow tires or
legal speed limits.
When snow tires are used, select the
specified size and pressure.
Tire Chains
Check local regulations before using tire
chains.
If your vehicle is equipped with the
TPMS system, the system may not
function correctly when using tire
chains.
Install the chains on the rear tires only.
Do not use chains on the front tires.
Note:
Chains may affect handling.
Do not go faster than 30 mph
(50 km/h) or the chain manufacturer's
recommended limit, whichever is lower.
Drive carefully and avoid bumps,
holes, and sharp turns.
Avoid locked-wheel braking.
Do not use chains on roads that are
free of snow or ice. The tires and
chains could be damaged.
Chains may scratch or chip
aluminium wheels.
Warning!
Using tires of different size and type (M+S,
Snow) between front and rear axles can
cause unpredictable handling. You could
lose control and have a collision.

5. Insert the jack lever and attach the
lug wrench to tire jack.
Warning!
Being under a jacked-up vehicle is
dangerous. The vehicle could slip off the
jack and fall on you. You could be crushed.
Never get any part of your body under a
vehicle that is on a jack. If you need to get
under a raised vehicle, take it to a service
center where it can be raised on a lift.
6. Turn the jack handle clockwise and
raise the vehicle high enough so that
the tire is raised off the ground and can
be removed. Before removing the lug
nuts, make sure your vehicle is firmly in
position and that it cannot slip or move.
Warning!
Raising the vehicle higher than necessary
can make the vehicle less stable. It could
slip off the jack and hurt someone near it.
Raise the vehicle only enough to remove
the tire.
7. Remove the wheel nuts by turning
them counterclockwise; then remove
the wheel.Locking Lug Nuts — If Equipped
If your vehicle has optional antitheft
wheel lug nuts, one on each wheel will
lock the tires and you must use a
special key to unlock them. This key will
attach to the lug wrench.
Register them with the lock
manufacturer by filling out the card
provided in the glove compartment and
mailing it in the accompanying
envelope. If you lose this key, contact
an authorized dealer or use the lock
manufacturer's order form, which is
with the registration card.
Accessory wheel locks cannot be used
on steel wheels. This includes situations
when the spare tire is installed. If the
spare tire is installed, one of the original
lug nuts (which should still be in the
vehicle) must be installed in place of the
wheel lock.
To Remove An Antitheft Lug Nut
Proceed as follows:
1. Obtain the special key for the
antitheft lug nut.
2. Place the special key on top of the
antitheft lug nut, and be sure to hold
the key square to it. If you hold the key
at an angle, you may damage both key
and nut. Do not use a power impact
wrench.
3. Place the lug wrench on top of the
key and apply pressure. Turn the
wrench counterclockwise.

may damage both key and nut. Do not
use a power impact wrench.
2. Place the lug wrench on top of the
special key, apply pressure, and turn it
clockwise.
Mounting The Tire
Proceed as follows:
1. Remove dirt and grime from the
mounting surfaces of the wheel and
hub, including the hub bolts, with a
cloth.
2. Mount the tire and install the wheel
nuts with the beveled edge inward;
tighten them by hand.
Caution!
Be sure to mount the spare tire with the
valve stem facing outward. The vehicle
could be damaged if the spare tire is
mounted incorrectly.
3. Turn the lug wrench
counterclockwise and lower the vehicle.
Use the lug wrench to tighten the nuts
in the order shown.
Warning!
To avoid the risk of forcing the vehicle off the
jack, do not tighten the wheel nuts fully until
the vehicle has been lowered. Failure to follow
this warning may result in serious injury.
4. Remove the tire blocks and store
the tools and jack.
5. Check the inflation pressure.
If in doubt about the correct tightness,
have them checked with a torque
wrench by your authorized dealer or
service station.
With TPMS
Do not push the tire pressure
monitoring system set switch after
installing the spare tire. The switch is
only to be pushed after installing the
repaired flat tire or installing a
replacement tire.
Note:To prevent the jack and tool from
rattling, store them properly.
Warning!
A loose tire or jack thrown forward in a
collision or hard stop could endanger the
occupants of the vehicle. Always stow the
jack parts and the spare tire in the places
provided. Have the deflated (flat) tire
repaired or replaced immediately.

Tire Service Usage
Precautions
The tire sealant cannot be reused. If the
sealant has been used, or is expired,
purchase new tire sealant at an
authorized dealer.
Note:The Tire Service Kit cannot be
used in the following cases. Consult an
authorized dealer if any of these
conditions exist:
The period of effective use for the
tire sealant has expired (the period of
effectiveness is indicated on the bottle
label)
The tear or puncture in the tire
exceeds about 0.16 inches (4 mm)
The damage has occurred to an
area of the tire other than the tread
The vehicle has been driven with
nearly no air remaining in the tire
The tire has come off the wheel rim
Damage to the wheel rim has
occurred
The tire has two or more punctures
Sealing A Tire With Tire
Service
Warning!
Do not attempt to seal a tire on the side
of the vehicle closest to traffic. Pull far
enough off the road to avoid the danger of
being hit when using the Tire Service Kit.
Do not use Tire Service Kit or drive the
vehicle under the following circumstances:
If the puncture in the tire tread is
approximately 1/4 inch (6 mm) or larger.
If the tire has any sidewall damage.
If the tire has any damage from driving
with extremely low tire pressure.
If the tire has any damage from driving
on a flat tire.
If the wheel has any damage.
If you are unsure of the condition of the
tire or the wheel.
Keep Tire Service Kit away from open
flames or heat source.
A loose Tire Service Kit thrown forward
in a collision or hard stop could endanger
the occupants of the vehicle. Always stow
the Tire Service Kit in the place provided.
Failure to follow these warnings can result
in injuries that are serious or fatal to you,
your passengers, and others around you.
Take care not to allow the contents of
Tire Service Kit to come in contact with
hair, eyes, or clothing. Tire Service Kit
sealant is harmful if inhaled, swallowed, or
absorbed through the skin. It causes skin,
eye, and respiratory irritation. Flush
immediately with plenty of water if there is
any contact with eyes or skin. Change
clothing as soon as possible, if there is any
contact with clothing.
Tire Service Kit Sealant solution contains
latex. In case of an allergic reaction or rash,
consult a physician immediately. Keep Tire
Service Kit out of reach of children. If
swallowed, rinse mouth immediately with
plenty of water and drink plenty of water.
Do not induce vomiting! Consult a
physician immediately.
U.S.A. And CANADA Markets:
Proceed as follows:
1. Pull over to a safe location and turn
on the vehicle’s hazard warning lights.
2. Verify that the valve stem (on the
wheel with the deflated tire) is in a
position that is near to the ground. This
will allow the Tire Service Kit hoses to
reach the valve stem and keep the Tire
Service Kit flat on the ground. This will
provide the best positioning of the kit
when injecting the sealant into the
deflated tire and running the air pump.
Move the vehicle as necessary to place
the valve stem in this position before
proceeding.

IN CASE OF EMERGENCY

Note:Make sure that the air
compressor switch is off before
inserting the air compressor hose to the
injection valve of the bottle. If the air
compressor hose is not installed to the
injection valve of the bottle securely, the
sealant may leak.
9. Remove the valve cap from the valve
of the flat tire, install the injection hose
to the tire valve, and turn the sleeve to
the right, and tighten it. 10. Install the bottle to the air
compressor and push it in until the left
and right tabs are engaged securely.11. Insert the air compressor plug into
the accessory socket inside the vehicle
and place the ignition to ACC.
Note:
When inserting the air
compressor plug into or removing it
from the accessory socket, make sure
that the air compressor switch is off .
When turning the air compressor on/off,
use the air compressor switch. Before
checking the tire inflation pressure using
the tire pressure gauge, turn the air
compressor switch off.
12. The sealant is injected into the tire
when the air compressor is switched
on. After the sealant is injected
completely, wait until the tire inflation
pressure increases to the specified tire
inflation pressure. For the correct
pressure, check the tire inflation
pressure label on the driver's door
frame.
Note: The inflation pressure may
increase to about 43.5 psi (3 Bar)
temporarily to inject the sealant through
the valve. Normally, the inflation
pressure decreases gradually and it
reaches the actual inflation pressure
after about 30 seconds.

IN CASE OF EMERGENCY

Warning!
Never use the air compressor above
43.5 psi (3 Bar). Using the air compressor
at an inflation pressure above 3 Bar
(43.5 psi) continuously is dangerous. If the
air compressor overheats, hot air will be
exhausted and you could get burned.
Caution!
If the tire inflation pressure does not
increase, repair of the tire is not possible. If
the tire does not reach the specified tire
inflation pressure within 10 minutes, it may
have received extensive damage. In this
case, the repair using the tire service kit
was not successful.
Do not operate the air compressor for a
continuous 10 minutes or longer because
using it for long periods could cause a
malfunction.
13. Adhere the speed restriction sticker
to an area where it can be viewed easily
by the driver.
Warning!
Do not adhere the speed restriction sticker
to the padded area on the steering wheel.
Adhering the speed restriction sticker to
the padded area on the steering wheel is
dangerous because the air bag may not
operate (deploy) normally resulting in
serious injury. In addition, do not adhere
the sticker to areas where warning lights or
the speedometer cannot be viewed.
14. Adhere the repaired tire sticker to
the wheel of the flat tire.
15. When the tire inflates to the
specified tire inflation pressure, turn the
air compressor switch off, turn the
sleeve of the injection hose to the left,
and pull it out of the tire valve. 16. Remove the air compressor hose
from the injection valve of the bottle.
Then, install the injection hose to the
injection valve of the bottle to prevent
leakage of any remaining sealant.
Note:
The remaining sealant in the
hose may spray out when the hose is
removed. Remove the hose carefully
because you may not be able to
remove the sealant contacting clothing
or other objects.
17. Install the tire valve cap.
18. Place the Tire Service Kit back into
its storage location.
19. Start driving immediately to spread
the sealant in the tire.
Note: Carefully drive the vehicle at a
speed of 50 mph (80 km/h) or less. If
