WHEELS AND TYRES
Check the pressure of each tyre, including the spare,
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 the "Wheels" paragraph in the
"Technical specifications" chapter.
Incorrect pressure causes abnormal tyre wear
fig. 195:
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.IMPORTANT
As far as possible, avoid sharp braking, screech
starts and violent shocks against pavements,
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 tread
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
replace it to avoid damage to the tyre, the rim,
suspension and steering system;
tyres age even if they are not used much. 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 dubious origin;
if a tyre is replaced, also replace 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.
