The TPMS does not replace the
correct tyre maintenance. It is up to the
driver to maintain the correct tyre
pressure level measuring it with
a suitable pressure switch. This is
necessary even if the decrease in the
inflation pressure value does not cause
the tyre pressure control warning light
to switch on.
The TPMS warns the driver of any
condition of insufficient tyre pressure
If this drops below the insufficient
pressure limit for any reason including
low temperature and normal pressure
loss of the tyre.
The seasonal temperature changes
affect tyre pressure.
The TPMS uses wireless devices with
electronic sensors mounted on the
wheel rims to constantly monitor the
value of tyre pressure. The sensors
mounted on each wheel as part of the
valve stem transmit various information
of the tyres to the receiver module, in
order to calculate the pressure.
IMPORTANT Monitoring and
maintaining the correct pressure in all
four tyres are particularly important.Tyre pressure monitoring system
low pressure warnings
The system warns the driver if one or
more tyres are flat by turning on the
warning light on the instrument
panel (together with a warning message
and an acoustic signal).
In this case, stop the vehicle as soon as
possible, check the inflation pressure
of each tyre and inflate to the cold tyre
pressure value prescribed for the
vehicle. The system will automatically
update and after receiving the tyre
pressure update the tyre pressure
control warning light switches off. You
may need to drive the vehicle for about
20 minutes at a speed higher than 20
km/h to allow the system to receive this
information.
TPMS operation faults
The system fault is indicated by the
corresponding warning light
, which
first flashes for 75 seconds and then
stays on continuously. This can occur in
any of the following situations:
interference caused by electronic
devices or radio frequency emissions
similar to those of the TPM sensors.
Application of tinted films which
interfere with the signals of the radio
waves.
Presence of snow or ice on the
wheels or the wheel arches.
Use of snow chains.
Use of wheels/tyres not equipped
with TPM sensors.
The space-saver wheel is not
equipped with the tyre pressure control
sensor. Therefore, the tyre pressure is
not controlled by the system.
If the space-saver wheel replaces a
tyre with a pressure lower than the
insufficient pressure limit, an acoustic
signal will be emitted and the
warning light will turn on at the next
start-up.
When the original tyre is repaired or
replaced and it is mounted back on
the vehicle to replace the space-saver
wheel, the TPMS will update
automatically and the warning light will
switch off, provided that the pressure of
none of the four tyres is below the
insufficient pressure limit. You may need
to drive the vehicle for about 20
minutes at a speed higher than 20
km/h to allow the TPMS to receive this
information.

111) 112) 113) 114)
To help increase occupant protection in
the event of a side impact, for
versions/markets where provided, the
car is equipped with front side bags
and window bags.
Side bags (for versions/markets where
provided) protect occupants from
side impacts of medium-high severity,
by placing the bag between the
occupant and the internal parts of the
side structure of the vehicle. Non-
activation of side bags in other types of
collisions (front collisions, rear shunts,
roll-overs, etc.) is not a system
malfunction.
An electronic control unit causes the
bags to inflate in the event of a side-on
collision. The bags inflate
instantaneously, placing themselves
between the occupant's body and the
structures which could cause injury.
They deflate immediately afterwards.
Side bags (for versions/markets where
provided) are not a replacement of
but complementary to the belts, which
you are recommended to always wear,
as specified by law in Europe and
most non-European countries.FRONT SIDE BAGS FOR
CHEST PROTECTION
(for versions/markets, where provided)
Housed in the seat backrests fig. 105,
they are composed of an instantly
inflating bag, which serves to protect
the occupants' chest and pelvis in the
event of a medium-high severity side
impact.
WINDOW BAGS
(for versions/markets, where provided)
They are composed of two bags,
one on the right side and one on the left
side of the vehicle, housed behind the
side roof trims and covered by special
trims fig. 106.
Window bags have been designed for
protecting the head of front occupants
in the event of side impact, thanks to
the wide bag inflation surface.IMPORTANT In the event of a side-on
crash, the system offers best protection
if you keep a correct position on the
seat because this allows the side bags
to inflate correctly.
IMPORTANT The front airbags and/or
side bags may be deployed if the
vehicle is subject to heavy knocks or
accidents involving the underbody area,
such as for example violent shocks,
against steps, kerbs or low obstacles,
vehicle falling into big potholes or
depressions in the road.

CHANGING A WHEEL
GENERAL
INSTRUCTIONS
Wheel replacement and correct use of
the jack and spare wheel (for
versions/markets, where provided) call
for some precautions, which are listed
below.
145) 146) 147) 148) 149)
Please note that:
the jack weight is 4.5 kg;
the jack requires no adjustment;
the jack cannot be repaired: in the
event of a fault it must be replaced
by another original one;
no tool other than its cranking
device may be fitted on the jack.
150)
To change a wheel, proceed as
follows:
stop the vehicle in a position that is
not dangerous for oncoming traffic
where you can change the wheel safely.
The ground must be flat and sufficiently
compact;
switch off the engine and pull the
handbrake;
engage first gear or reverse;
put on the reflective safety jacket
(compulsory by law in certain countries)
before getting out of the vehicle;
indicate that the vehicle has broken
down using the devices required by
the law in the current country (e.g.
warning triangle, hazard lights, etc.);
In the event of a wheel change on a
slope or on unsurfaced roads, put
any object as stop under the wheels;
take the tool bag from under the
passenger seat (see "Compartment
under the front passenger side seat" in
the "Internal equipment" chapter in
"Knowing the vehicle").
The container includes these tools:
A - tow hook
B - rod for spanner
C - bolt spanner
D - jack
E - extension for spanner
F - screwdriver gripG - screwdriver bit
if the tool container is not provided,
for special trim versions, a bag
containing the above tools may be
provided;
for versions with alloy rims, remove
the press-fitted hub cap;
take the extension for spanner, the
bolt spanner and the rod for spanner
from the tool container;
with the tools assembled correctly,
loosen the fixing bolts for the wheel
to be changed by one turn;
turn the ring nut to partly extend the
jack;
157F1A0168
158F1A0420
170
IN AN EMERGENCY
with the tools assembled, undo the
bolts fig. 164 fully and remove the
wheel;
fit the spare wheel, lining up the
holes G fig. 165 with the corresponding
pins H. While fitting the spare wheel,
make sure that the mating surfaces are
clean and free of impurities that could
later cause the fixing bolts to come
loose;
screw in the 5 fastening bolts;
assemble the tools to tighten the
bolts fully, passing alternately from one
bolt to the diagonally opposite one,
following the scheme shown in fig. 165;
use the wheel removal wrench to
lower the vehicle and remove the jack;
At the end of the operation:
take the replaced wheel, reattach it
to the support E fig. 163 and tighten
the knob D;
insert the assembled tool fig. 162
equipped with the dedicated extension
B fig. 161 onto the screw A fig. 161
of the operating device on the spare
wheel compartment and turn it
clockwise to allow the spare wheel to
raise, until it rests fully against the
sub-platform, making sure that the the
locking mark D fig. 162 has appeared in
the window on the device.
154)
For vehicles with alloy rims, proceed as
follows:
carry out the above described
operations for changing the wheel until
loading the punctured wheel on the
spare wheel lifting device;
take the kit from the tool bag,
located in the glove compartment;
the kit includes one bracket, three
special screws and one Allen spanner,
10 size;

IN AN EMERGENCY
WHEELS AND TYRES
Check the pressure of each tyre,
including the space-saver wheel,
approximately every two weeks and
before long journeys: the pressure
should be checked with the tyre rested
and cold.
It is normal for the pressure to increase
when the vehicle is used; for the correct
tyre inflation pressure, see “Wheels” in
the “Technical specifications” section.
Incorrect pressure causes abnormal
tyre wear fig. 194:
Anormal pressure: tread evenly worn;
Blow pressure: tread particularly worn
at the edges;
Chigh pressure: tread particularly worn
in the centre.
The tyres must be replaced when the
tread is less than 1.6 mm thick. In
any case, follow the laws in force in the
country you are in.
196) 197) 198) 199)
IMPORTANT
INFORMATION
As far as possible, avoid sharp
braking and screech starts. Be careful
not to hit the kerb, potholes or other
hard obstacles. Driving for long
stretches over uneven roads can
damage the tyres;
periodically check that the tyres
have no cuts in the side wall, abnormal
swelling or irregular tyre wear. Contact
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 change it to avoid
damage to the tyre, the rim,
suspensions and steering system;
tyres age even if they are not used a
great deal. Cracks in the tread and on
the side walls are a sign of ageing.
In any event, have the tyres checked by
specialised personnel if they have
been fitted for longer than 6 years.
Remember to check the spare wheel
very carefully;
in the case of replacement, always
fit new tyres, avoiding those of
unknown 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.
IMPORTANT Replacing a tyre, check
that the tyre pressure monitoring
(TPMS) sensor is also taken from the
previous rim, together with the valve.
WARNING
196)Remember that the road holding
qualities of your vehicle also depend on the
correct inflation pressure of the tyres.
197)If the pressure is too low, the tyre will
overheat and could be seriously damaged.
198)Avoid switching the tyres from the
right side of the vehicle to the left side and
vice versa.
199)Never submit alloy rims to repainting
treatments requiring the use of
temperatures exceeding 150°C. The
mechanical properties of the wheels could
be impaired.
