2018 FIAT TIPO 5DOORS STATION WAGON winter tyres

NOTE The hub cap cannot be fitted to
the space-saver wheel (for TIPO
5DOOR version).
NOTE If replacing a wheel with alloy
rim, stove it temporarily into the spare
wheel compartment with the cosmetic
side facing upwards.
IMPORTANT NOTESTyres with unidirectional tread can be
recognised by arrows on the side of the
tyre which indicate the direction of
rotation. It is compulsory to comply with
this direction. Only in this way can the
tyres maintain their characteristics in
terms of grip, noise, resistance to wear
and drainage on wet surfaces.
If, after a puncture, it is necessary to
fit such a tyre the wrong way round, it
will be necessary to continue driving
with great care, since the tyre’s
performance is limited in these
conditions. This precaution must beborne in mind above all when the road
surface is wet.
In order to benefit completely from
the unidirectional tread, it is advisable to
restore all wheels to the correct
direction of rotation as soon as
possible.
WARNING
147)If left in the passenger compartment,
the punctured wheel and jack constitute a
serious risk to the safety of occupants in
the event of accidents or sharp braking.
Therefore, always place both the jack and
punctured wheel in the dedicated housing
in the boot.
148)It is extremely dangerous to attempt
to change a wheel on the side of the
vehicle next to the driving lane: make sure
that the vehicle is at a sufficient distance
from the road, to avoid being run over.
149)Alert other drivers that the car is
stationary in compliance with local
regulations: hazard warning lights, warning
triangle, etc. Any passengers on board
should leave the car, especially if it is
heavily laden. Passengers should stay
away from on-coming traffic while the
wheel is being changed.150)The jack is a tool developed and
designed only for changing a wheel, if a
tyre gets punctured or damaged, on the
vehicle with which it is supplied or on other
vehicles of the same model. Any other use,
e.g. to jack up other vehicle models or
different things, is strictly prohibited. Never
use it to carry out maintenance or repairs
under the vehicle or to change
summer/winter wheels and vice versa: we
advise you to contact a Fiat Dealership.
Never go under the raised vehicle: use it
only in the positions indicated. Do not use
the jack for loads higher than the one
shown on its label. Never start the engine
with vehicle raised. If the vehicle is raised
more than necessary, everything can
become more unstable, with the risk of the
vehicle dropping violently. Thus, lift the
vehicle only as needed in order to access
the spare wheel.
151)Never tamper with the inflation valve.
Never introduce tools of any kind between
the rim and the tyre. Check tyre and
space-saver wheel pressures regularly,
complying with the values given in the
"Technical specifications" chapter.

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.

(***) Versions for specific markets (**) For versions/markets, where provided. Tyres offering equivalent performance can be used as an alternative. (*) If the spare wheel is used in an emergency, check pressure and, if necessary, align it to the values prescribed for the tyre of the axle where it is used
.
187)The maximum speed for snow tyres marked “Q” is 160 km/h, while it is 190 km/h for “T” tyres and 210 km/h for "H" tyres. The highway
code speed limits must however always be complied with.
188)If winter tyres with a lower speed rating than that indicated in the Registration Document are used, do not exceed the maximum speed
corresponding to the speed rating of the tyres used.
189)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.
