2018 Abarth 500 rims

VEHICLE CHANGES/ALTERATIONS
WARNING
Any change or alteration of the vehicle might seriously affect its safety and road holding, thus causing accidents, in which the
occupants could even be fatally injured
ACCESSORIES PURCHASED BY THE OWNER
If after buying the vehicle, you decide to install electrical accessories that require a permanent electrical supply (e.g. radio,
satellite anti-theft system, etc.) or accessories that in any case burden the electrical supply, contact an Abarth Dealership,
whose personnel will check whether the vehicle’s electrical system is able to withstand the load required, or whether it needs to
be integrated with a more powerful battery.
IMPORTANT Take care when fitting additional spoilers, alloy wheel rims or non-standard wheel hubs: they could reduce the
ventilation of the brakes and affect efficiency under sharp, repeated braking or on long descents. Make sure that nothing
obstructs the pedal stroke (mats, etc.).
INSTALLING ELECTRICAL/ELECTRONIC DEVICES
Electrical and electronic devices installed after buying the car in the context of after-sales service must carry the following label
.
FCA Italy S.p.A. authorises the installation of transceivers provided that installation is carried out at a specialised centre, in a
workmanlike fashion and in compliance with manufacturer's specifications.
IMPORTANT Traffic police may not allow the vehicle on the road if devices have been installed which modify the features of the
vehicle. This may also cause invalidation of warranty in relation to faults caused by the change either directly or indirectly related
to it.
FCA Italy S.p.A. shall not be liable for damage caused by the installation of accessories either not supplied or recommended by
FCA Italy S.p.A. and/or not installed in compliance with the provided instructions.
RADIO TRANSMITTERS AND MOBILE PHONES
Radio transmitter equipment (vehicle mobile phones, CB radios, amateur radio etc.) cannot be used inside the vehicle unless a
separate aerial is mounted externally.

SNOW CHAINS
The use of snow chains should be in
compliance with local regulations of
each country.
Snow chains can be fitted to the tyres
of the front wheels (drive wheels) only.
Check the tension of the snow chains
after the first few metres have been
driven.
35)
WARNING
146)Remember that the road holding
qualities of your car also depend on
correct tyre pressures.
147)If tyre pressure is too low, the tyre
may overheat and be severely damaged as
a result.
148)Do not switch tyres from the
right­hand side of the vehicle to the
left­hand side, and vice versa.
149)Never submit alloy rims to repainting
treatments requiring the use of
temperatures exceeding 150°C. The
mechanical properties of the wheels could
be impaired.
150)The max. speed for snow tyres with
“Q” marking is 160 km/h. The Highway
Code speed limits must however be always
strictly observed.
WARNING
35)Keep the vehicle's speed down when
snow chains are fitted; never exceed 50
km/h. Avoid potholes, steps and
pavements and avoid driving long
distances on roads not covered with snow
to avoid damaging the car and the
roadbed.
BODYWORK
PRESERVING THE
BODYWORK
Paint
To correctly wash the car, proceed as
follows:
remove the aerial from the roof to
prevent damage to it if the car is
washed in an automatic system;
if high pressure jets or cleaners are
used to wash the vehicle, keep a
distance of at least 40 cm from the
bodywork to avoid damage or
alteration. It should be remembered
that the build up of water can damage
the car over a period of time;
wash the bodywork using a low
pressure jet of water;
wipe a sponge with a slightly soapy
solution over the bodywork, frequently
rinsing the sponge;
rinse well with water and dry with a
jet of air or a chamois.
Dry the less visible parts with special
care, such as the door frames, bonnet
and the headlight frames, where water
may stagnate more easily. The car
should not be taken to a closed area
immediately, but left outside so that
residual water can evaporate.

WHEELS
RIMS AND TYRES PROVIDED
Alloy or pressed steel rims. Tubeless radial carcass tyres.
All approved tyres are listed in the Registration Document.
IMPORTANT NOTE If there are any discrepancies between the Owner Handbook and the Registration Document, take the
information only from the latter. For safe driving, the car must be fitted with tyres of the same make and type on all wheels.
IMPORTANT Do not use inner tubes with tubeless tyres.
