CORRECT USE

OF THE CAR

IMPORTANT When snow tyres are used

with a max speed index below the one

that can be reached by the car (increased

by 5%), place a notice in the passenger’s

compartment, plainly in the driver’s view

which states the max permissible speed of

the snow tyres (as per EC Directive).

All four tyres should be the same (brand

and track) to ensure greater safety when

driving and braking and better driveability.

Remember that it is inappropriate to

change the direction of rotation of tyres.

SNOW CHAINS

Use of snow chains should be in compli-

ance with local regulations.

The snow chains may be applied only on-

to the front wheel tyres (drive wheels).

Use of Lineaccessori Fiat snow chains is

recommended.

Check the tension of the chains after the

first few metres have been driven.

IMPORTANT With snow chains, use the

accelerator with extreme care to prevent

or to limit as much as possible slipping of

the driving wheels that could cause chain

breaking resulting in damages to the car

body or mechanical components.

IMPORTANT Use low-clearance 9 mm

snow chains.

SNOW TYRES

Use snow tyres of the same size as the

normal tyres provided with the car.

Fiat Dealership will be happy to provide

advice concerning the most suitable type

of tyre for the customer’s requirements.

For the type of tyre to be used, inflation

pressures and the specifications of snow

tyres, follow the instructions given in para-

graph “Wheels” in section “Technical

specifications”.

The performance of these tyres is con-

siderably reduced when the tread depth

is less than 4 mm. Replace them in this

case.

Due to their specific features, the perfor-

mance of snow tyres is much lower than

that of normal types in normal conditions

or long motorway stretches. Limit per-

formance according the use for which they

were approved.

The max speed for snow

tyres with “Q” marking is

160 km/h; 190 km/h for tyres with “T”

marking and 210 km/h for tyres with

H marking. The Road Traffic Code

speed limits must however be always

strictly observed.
