If these conditions occur, the warning
light
flashes on the instrument panel
and the system, intervening on the
brakes and engine power, limits the
possibility that the wheels are raised
from the ground. It is not possible to
avoid tendency to roll over if the
phenomenon is due to reasons such as
driving on high side gradients, collision
with objects or other vehicles.
59)
TSC (Trailer Sway
Control) SYSTEM
The system employs a series of sensors
located on the vehicle to identify
excessive swerving of the trailer and
take the necessary precautions to
eliminate it.
To counteract the effect of trailer sway,
the system can reduce the engine
power and intervene on the wheels
involved. The TSC system activates
automatically once excessive sway of
the trailer is detected.
System intervention
When the system is active, the
warning light flashes on the
instrument panel, the engine power is
reduced and braking can be felt on the
individual wheels, following the attempt
to eliminate the swerving of the trailer.

WARNING
37)When the ABS intervenes and you feel
the brake pedal pulsating, do not reduce
the pressure, but hold it down firmly and
confidently; in doing so you will brake in the
shortest distance possible, depending on
the current road conditions.
38)To obtain the maximum efficiency of
the braking system, a bedding-in period of
about 500 km is needed: during this period
it is better to avoid sharp, repeated and
prolonged braking.
39)If the ABS intervenes, this indicates
that the grip of the tyres on the road is
nearing its limit: you must slow down to a
speed compatible with the available grip.
40)The ABS cannot overrule the natural
laws of physics, and cannot increase the
grip available according to the condition of
the road.
41)The ABS cannot prevent accidents,
including those due to excessive speed on
corners, driving on low-grip surfaces or
aquaplaning.
42)The capability of the ABS must never
be tested irresponsibly and dangerously, in
such a way as to compromise personal
safety and the safety of others.
43)For the correct operation of the ABS,
the tyres must of necessity be the same
make and type on all wheels, in perfect
condition and, above all, of the prescribed
type and dimensions.
44)The ESC system cannot alter the
natural laws of physics, and cannot
increase grip, which depends on the
condition of the road.45)The ESC system cannot prevent
accidents, including those due to excessive
speed on corners, driving on low-grip
surfaces or aquaplaning.
46)The capability of the ESC system must
never be tested irresponsibly and
dangerously, in such a way as to
compromise personal safety and the safety
of others.
47)For the correct operation of the ESC
system, the tyres must necessarily be of
the same make and type on all wheels, in
perfect condition and, above all, of the
prescribed type and size.
48)ESC performance features must not
induce the driver to take unnecessary or
unwarranted risks. Your driving style must
always be suited to the road conditions,
visibility and traffic. The driver is, in any
case, responsible for safe driving.
49)For the correct operation of the TC
system, the tyres must of necessity be the
same make and type on all wheels, in
perfect condition and, above all, of the
prescribed type and dimensions.
50)TC performance features must not
induce the driver to take unnecessary or
unwarranted risks. Your driving style must
always be suited to the road conditions,

SAFETY
IMPORTANT
64)When turning the jack handle make
sure that it can turn freely without scraping
your hand against the ground. The moving
components of the jack ("worm screw" and
joints) can also cause injuries: avoid
touching them. If you come into contact
with lubricating grease, clean yourself
thoroughly.
65)Contact a Fiat Dealership as soon as
possible to have the correct tightening of
the wheel bolts checked.

DESCRIPTION
The Fix&Go quick tyre repair kit
fig. 183 is located in the boot, inside a
dedicated container and consists of:
one cartridge 1 containing sealant
and fitted with: transparent tube for
injecting the sealant 4 and sticker 3 with
the wording “Max. 80 km/h” to be
placed in a clearly visible position (e.g.
on the dashboard) after repairing the
tyre;
one compressor 2;
one leaflet containing instructions for
using the kit;
a pair of gloves located in the hose
compartment of the cartridge 4.
159
152)Observe the following instructions if
the car is equipped with a spare wheel
smaller than the normal size (a 16” spare
wheel is provided with 17" and 18" tyres)
or a space-saver spare wheel. The
space-saver wheel (for versions/markets
where provided) is specific to your car, do
not use it on other models, or use the
space-saver wheel of other models on your
car. The space-saver spare wheel or spare
wheel must be used only in an emergency.
Never use it for more than strictly
necessary and never exceed 80 km/h.
There is an orange sticker on the
space-saver spare wheel which
summarises the main warnings regarding
wheel usage restrictions. Never remove or
cover the label. The label contains the
following indications in four languages:
"Warning! For temporary use only! 80 km/h
max! Replace with standard wheel as soon
as possible. Never cover this indication."
Never apply a hub cup on a space-saver
spare wheel or spare wheel. The driving
characteristics of the car will be modified
with the space-saver spare wheel or spare
wheel fitted. Avoid violent acceleration and
braking, abrupt steering and fast cornering.
The overall duration of the space-saver
wheel is about 3000 km, after which the
relevant tyre must be replaced with another
one of the same type. Never install a
traditional tyre on a rim designed to be
used as a space-saver wheel. Have the
wheel repaired and refitted as soon as
possible. Using two or more space-saver
spare wheels or spare wheels at the same
time is forbidden. Do not apply grease to
the bolt threads before fitting: they could
come unscrewed.

SNOW CHAINS
86)
205/55 R16 and 195/65 R15 tyres can
be fitted with 9 mm snow chains.
7 mm chains can be fitted to
225/45 R17 tyres.
Chains cannot be fitted on
225/40 R18 92W XL tyres.
Important notes
The use of snow chains should be in
compliance with local regulations of
each country. In certain countries, tyres
marked with code M+S (Mud and
Snow) are considered as winter
equipment; therefore their use is
equivalent to that of the snow chains.
The snow chains may be applied only
to the front wheel tyres.
Check the tension of the snow chains
after the first few metres have been
driven.
IMPORTANT Using snow chains with
tyres with non-original dimensions may
damage the vehicle.IMPORTANT Using different size or type
(M+S, snow, etc.) tyres between front
and rear axle may adversely affect
vehicle driveability, with the risk of losing
control of the vehicle and resulting
accidents.
WARNING
178)The road holding qualities of the car
also depend on the correct inflation
pressure of the tyres.
179)If tyre pressure is too low, it may
overheat and be severely damaged as a
result.
180)If the tyres are "unidirectional", do not
switch tyres from the right-hand side of the
vehicle to the left-hand side, and vice
versa. This type of tyres can only be
switched from the front axle to the rear axle
and vice versa, keeping them on the same
side of the vehicle.
181)Never submit alloy rims to repainting
treatments requiring the use of
temperatures exceeding 150°C. The
mechanical properties of the wheels could
be impaired.
182)Travelling with partially or completely
deflated tyres can cause safety problems
and damage the concerned tyre beyond
repair.
IMPORTANT
86)Keep your speed down when snow
chains are fitted; do not exceed 50 km/h.
Avoid potholes, do not drive over steps or
sidewalks and do not drive long distances
over roads without snow, to avoid
damaging both your vehicle and the road
surface.

SERVICING AND CARE
WHEELS
SNOW TYRES
187)
Use snow tyres of the same size as the
standard tyres provided with the car.
The Fiat Dealership will be happy to
provide advice concerning the most
suitable type of tyre for the customer's
requirements.
For the type of snow tyre to be used,
inflation pressures and the
specifications of the tyres, carefully
follow the instructions given in this
chapter.
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; always comply with
specific local regulations relating to the
use of snow tyres.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.
209
RIMS AND TYRES PROVIDED
188)
Alloy or pressed steel rims. Tubeless radial carcass tyres.
All approved tyres are listed in the Registration Document.
IMPORTANT If there are any discrepancies between the Owner Handbook and the Registration Document, take the information
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 air chambers with tubeless tyres.
