SNOW TYRES 30)
Use snow tyres of the same size as the standard tyres provided with the car.
All four tyres should be the same (brand and track) to ensure greater safety when driving and braking as well as a good
manoeuvrability.
Remember that you should not change the rotation direction of the tyres.
The winter features of these tyres are reduced considerably when the tread depth is below 4 mm.
Replace them in this case.
Due to the specific characteristics of snow tyres, in normal weather conditions or on long motorway journeys, the
performance of these tyres is lower than that of standard tyres.
Their usage should therefore be restricted in accordance with their type approval.
IMPORTANT When using snow tyres with a maximum speed index below the one that can be reached by the car (increased
by 5%), place a notice in the passenger compartment, plainly in view, which states the maximum speed allowed by the snow
tyres (as per EC Directive).

The figure already takes into account the 80% tank filling limit and the residual fluid required for priming; this figure
represents the maximum permitted capacity. There may be slight variations to this figure as a result of:
differences between the network pump supply pressures, pumps having different supply/locking features,

FLUIDS AND LUBRICANTS 39) 22) 3)
Your vehicle is equipped with an engine oil that has been thoroughly developed and tested in order to meet the requirements
of the Scheduled Servicing Plan. Constant use of the prescribed lubricants guarantees the fuel consumption and emission
specifications. Lubricant quality is crucial for engine operation and duration.
If lubricants conforming to the specific request are not available, products that meet the indicated specifications can be used
to top up; in this case optimal performance of the engine is not guaranteed.
