TYRE INFLATION
PRESSURE WHEN COLD
The tyre inflating ratings shown in this manual
must be read as values applicable with cold
tyres.
CAUTION
When winter tyres are fitted,
it is advisable not to exceed a speed
of 220 km/h. Always observe the
regulations in force in the country
where you are driving and follow
the instructions provided by the tyre
manufacturer.
CAUTION
When using the spare wheel
(emergency wheel) do not exceed 80
km/h. Avoid driving at full throttle,
braking sharply and cornering at high
speeds.

WINTER TYRES

These tyres are specially designed for driving on
snow and ice and are fitted to replace the ones
supplied with the vehicle.
CAUTION
Only use winter tyres having
the same dimensions as those provided
with the vehicle or as indicated on
page 196.
The Authorised Service Centres of the
Manufacturer's Network are available to
provide suggestions as to the types of tyres most
suited to the use foreseen by the Customer.
For the type of tyres to use, inflation pressures
and relative specifications for winter tyres,
carefully follow the indications found in the
section "Capacities and technical specifications".
The features of these tyres are markedly reduced
in winter when tread depth is less than 4 mm. In
this case, they should be replaced.

USING THE VEHICLE
The specific features of the winter tyres lead to
lower performance under normal environmental
conditions or on long highway trips, compared to
the standard tyres.
Therefore, they should only be fitted for
their intended use, for which they have been
approved.
CAUTION
Fit identical (manufacturer and
tread) tyres on all four wheels, in
order to ensure safe driving, braking
and good manoeuvrability.
CAUTION
Remember that the direction of
tyre rotation should not be reversed.
