WHEELS AND TYRES
RIMS AND TYRES
For the type of wheel rims and tyres
fitted on the vehicle see the "Wheels"
paragraph in the "Technical data"
chapter.
IMPORTANT NOTES
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 tyre tread wear.
Go to 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 sidewalls are a sign of ageing. In
any event, have the tyres checked
by specialised technicians 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.

SNOW CHAINS
The use of snow chains should be in
compliance with local regulations of
each country. The snow chains may be
applied only onto the front wheel (drive
wheels). Check the tension of the
snow chains after the first few metres
have been driven.
151)
WARNING
147)Remember that the road holding
qualities of your vehicle also depend on the
correct inflation pressure of the tyres.
148)If tyre pressure is too low, the tyre
may overheat and be severely damaged as
a result.
149)Do not switch tyres from the
righthand side of the vehicle to the
lefthand side, and vice versa.
150)Never submit alloy rims to repainting
treatments requiring the use of
temperatures exceeding 150°C. The
mechanical properties of the wheels could
be impaired.
151)Keep the vehicle's speed down when
snow chains are fitted; never exceed 50
km/h. Avoid potholes, do not drive over
steps or pavements, and do not drive long
distances over roads without snow, to
avoid damaging both your vehicle and the
road surface.

ENGINE MARKING
It is stamped on the cylinder block and
includes the type and the engine serial
number.
CYLINDER MARKING
49)
Each methane cylinder is identified in
the plant by information stamped on
the cylinder cone.
The other plates (provided with the
vehicle documentation) contain the date
for the first inspection of the cylinders.
179F0T0361
WARNING
49)If the vehicle has been registered in a
country other than Italy, the certification
data, identification and inspection
procedures for the methane cylinders
should conform to the legislation in that
country. In any case, it should be
remembered that the life of the cylinders is
20 years from the production date as set
out in ECE Regulation no. 110.
SYSTEM INSPECTION
The cylinders must be inspected, in
accordance with ECE Regulation
Procedure no. 110, every 4 years from
the vehicle registration date or in
accordance with specific regulations in
individual countries.

(*) (for versions/markets, where provided)
When the tires are warm, the inflation pressure should be + 0.3 bar in relation to the recommended figure. However, recheck
that the value is correct with the tyre cold.
With snow tyres, add +0.2 bar to the pressure value prescribed for standard tyres.
When running at speeds over 160 km/h, inflate tyres at full-load pressures.
WARNING
152)Never use the space-saver spare wheel for more than strictly necessary and never exceed 80 km/h. On the space-saver wheel there is
an orange label, summarising the main warnings regarding usage restrictions. Never remove or cover the label.

WARNING
INTERIOR FITTINGS
Never travel with the glove compartment open: it could injure the passenger in the event of a crash.
The cigar lighter gets extremely hot. Handle it carefully and make sure children don't touch it: risk of fire and/or burning.
Do not use the ashtray as a waste paper basket: it may catch fire in contact with cigarette stubs.
Do not use the book rest in a vertical position with the vehicle in motion.
ROOF RACK/SKI RACK
Fully comply with the regulations in force concerning maximum clearance.
After travelling for a few kilometres, check to ensure that the fixing screws for the attachments are well tightened.
INTERIOR
Never use flammable products, such as petroleum ether or modified petrol, to clean the inside of the vehicle. The electrostatic charges
which are generated by rubbing during the cleaning operation may cause a fire.
Do not keep aerosol cans in the vehicle: they might explode. Aerosol cans must not be exposed to temperatures of more than 50°C.
When the vehicle is exposed to sunlight, the temperature inside can greatly exceed this value.
EOBD SYSTEM
If, when the ignition key is turned to MAR, thewarning light does not switch on, switches on constantly or flashes when driving (on
certain versions together with the message on the display), contact a Fiat Dealership as soon as possible. The operation of thewarning
light may be checked by the traffic police using specific devices. Comply with the laws and regulations of the country where you are driving.
WHEELS AND TYRES
You must not exceed 160 km/h on snow tyres with a “Q” mark; in any case, make sure you stick to the rules of the highway code.
POWER SUPPLY
Modifications or repairs to the supply system that are not carried out correctly or do not take the system technical specifications into
account can cause malfunctions leading to the risk of fire.
RIM PROTECTOR TYRES
DO NOT fit wheel hub caps when using integral hub caps fixed (with springs) to the steel rim and after sale tyres provided with a Rim
Protector. Use of unsuitable tyres and wheel caps may cause sudden decrease of tyre pressure.
183
WARNING
ROOF RACK/SKI RACK
Distribute the load evenly and pay attention to side winds when driving.
Never exceed the maximum permitted loads (see chapter "Technical specifications").
INSTRUMENT PANEL
If the needle for the engine coolant temperature reaches the red area, stop the engine immediately and contact a Fiat Dealership.
“COMFORT-MATIC" TRANSMISSION Messages on the display
If the warning light(together with the message in the display) continues to remain on in the panel, go to a Fiat Dealership.
If the message is still shown in the display, contact a Fiat Dealership.
To keep the clutch in good condition, do not use the accelerator to keep the car stationary (e.g. when stopped facing uphill); the clutch
could be damaged by overheating. Use the brake pedal instead and operate the accelerator only when you are ready to set off.
BODYWORK
Some automatic systems equipped with old generation blades and/or with a poor maintenance can damage the paint, promoting the
creation of microscoring which give an opaque/coated appearance to the paint, especially on dark colours. In this case, just lightly polish with
specific products.
WARNING
BODYWORK
Detergents pollute the environment. The vehicle should be washed in areas equipped for collecting and purifying the liquid used in the
washing process.
