52)If the vehicle will be unused for an
extended period of time in extremely cold
weather conditions, remove the battery and
store it in a heated area to prevent it from
freezing.
IMPORTANT
6)Batteries contain substances which are
very dangerous for the environment. For
battery replacement, contact a Fiat
Dealership.
WHEELS AND TYRES
SAFETY INFORMATION
The tyres are the vehicle's only contact
with the road surface, so they need to
be kept in good condition.
Local laws concerning rules of the road
must be respected.
220) 221) 222) 223) 224)
53) 54)
MAINTENANCE
The tyres must always be in good
condition, the treads have to be thick
enough; the tyres approved by Fiat
have wear warnings 1 fig. 280 that are
made up of protuberances incorporated
in the tread thickness.When the tread pattern is reduced to
the level of the warning protuberances,
they become visible 2 fig. 280: you
need to replace your tyres because the
tread depth is approximately1.6 mm
and that means low grip on wet roads.
An overloaded vehicle, travelling too
long on highways, in very hot weather
or driving on bumpy roads contributes
to deteriorating the tyres faster.
INFLATION PRESSURE
Respect the inflation pressure (including
the spare tyre), check it at least once a
year and before any long trips (see the
label located on the driver's door pillar).
The pressure must be checked with
cold tyres: do not consider higher
pressures that could be reached during
hot months or after hard driving. If tyre
pressure checking cannot be done with
cold tyres, increase the pressure 0.2 to
0.3 bar (or 3 PSI).
Never deflate a hot tyre.
Vehicles equipped with TPMS: in case
of under-inflating or puncture, the
warning light
on the instrument
panel turns on. Refer to the “TPMS –
Tyre Pressure Monitoring System”
paragraph in the “Safety” chapter.

Label A fig. 282
To read it open the driver's door
fig. 283.
B: front tyre inflation pressure when
not driving on a highway, or when there
are fewer than four people on board.
C: rear tyre pressure inflation when
not driving on a highway, or when there
are fewer than four people on board.
D: pressure inflation for front tyres
when travelling on a highway or when
there is a significant load.
E: pressure inflation for rear tyres
when travelling on a highway or when
there is a significant load.
IMPORTANT For cars used at full load
(Maximum Authorised Mass) and with a
tow trailer, the maximum speed must
not exceed 100 km/h and the tyre
pressure must be increased by 0.2 bar.
Refer to the “Weights” paragraph on
the “Technical data” chapter.Risk of
tyres bursting.
SPARE TYRE
Please see the paragraph "Replacing a
tyre" in the "Emergency" chapter.
SUGGESTIONS ABOUT
THE ROTATION OF THE
TYRES
We advise you not to do this kind of
operation.
WINTER USE
55) 56) 57) 58)
Chains
For safety reasons, mounting snow
chains on the rear axle is prohibited.
The use of larger sized tyres than the
original ones makes fitting chains
impossible.Snow tyres
We advise you to fit all four wheels to
guarantee the best vehicle traction
possible.
IMPORTANT These tyres sometimes
mean a direction and maximum speed
that could be less than maximum
vehicle speed.
Studded tyres
(For versions/markets where provided)
This type of tyre can only be used for a
limited time determined by local laws.
You need to respect the speed limits
imposed by local laws in effect.
These tyres can be fitted on at least
both front wheels.
In any case, it is advisable to
contact a Fiat Dealership.
WARNING
220)Insufficient pressure can cause the
tyres to wear early and heat up abnormally,
with obvious consequences for safety;
poor road grip, risk of blow-out or treads
detaching. Inflation pressure depends on
the load and the speed. Adjust the
pressure according to the conditions of
use (see the label located on the inside of
the driver's door pillar).
