send the relative indications to the instrument

KNOW YOUR CAR
Tyre pressure must be checked with tyres rested
and cold. Should it become necessary for whatever
reason to check pressure with warm tyres, do
SAFETY
not reduce pressure even though it is higher than
the prescribed value, but repeat the check when
tyres are cold (see "Wheels" in the "Technical data"
STARTING AND
chapter).
DRIVING
The TPMS cannot indicate sudden tyre pressure
drops (for example when a tyre bursts). In this
case, stop the car, braking with caution and avoiding
WARNING LIGHTS
abrupt steering.
AND MESSAGES
Strong radio-frequency interference could inhibit
the correct operation of the TPMS. This condition
is indicated to the driver by the
or the symbol lighting up on the instrument panel
IN AN EMERGENCY
together with a message on the display. The
message will disappear automatically as soon as the
interference ceases to affect the system.
SERVICING AND
The TPMS requires the use of specific equipment.
MAINTENANCE
Contact a Fiat Dealership to find out which
accessories are compatible with the system
(wheels, hub caps, etc.). Using other accessories

may hinder the normal operation of the system.
SPECIFICATIONS
Given the valve unique specifications, only use
Fiat-approved sealers to repair the tyres. The use of
other sealers may affect the normal operation of
the system.
INDEX

If the vehicle is fitted with TPMS, when a tyre is
removed, it is advisable to replace the rubber
gasket for the valve as well as the ring nut fixing the
sensor. Have this operation performed at a Fiat
Dealership.
If the "punctured tyre" indication persists on the
instrument panel after the initial conditions have
been restored using the Fix&Go Automatic tyre
repair kit, contact a Fiat Dealership.
Changes in outside temperature may cause tyre
pressures to vary. The TPMS may temporarily
indicate insufficient pressure. In this case, check the
tyre pressure when cold and, if necessary, restore
the inflation values.
If the vehicle is fitted with TPMS, tyre and/or rims
fitting/removal operations require specific
warning light
precautions. To avoid damaging the sensors or
fitting them incorrectly, tyre and/or rims
fitting/removal operations should be carried out
only by specialists. Contact a Fiat Dealership.
