WHEELS AND TYRES

Check the pressure of each tyre, including the spare, every two weeks

and before long journeys. The pressure should be checked with the tyre

rested and cold.

For the correct tyre inflation pressure, see “Wheels” in “Technical

specifications” section.

Incorrect pressure causes abnormal tyre wear:

(A): normal pressure: tread evenly worn.

(B): low pressure: tread particularly worn at the edges.

(C): high pressure: tread particularly worn in the centre.

Tyres must be replaced when the tread wears down to 1,6 mm. In any

case, comply with the laws in the country where the car is being driven.

IMPORTANT NOTES

❒

As far as possible, avoid sharp braking and screech starts, etc. Be

careful not to hit the kerb, potholes or other obstacles hard. Driving

for long stretches over bumpy roads can damage the tyres;

❒

Periodically check that the tyres have no cuts in the side wall,

abnormal swelling or irregular tyre wear. If any of these occur, have

the car seen to at a Fiat Dealership;
