WARNING
– Air pressures should be
checked when the tires are
cold or you may get inaccurate read-
ings.
– Check the inflation pressure from
time to time while inflating the tire
gradually, until the specified pressure
is obtained.
– Never underinflate or overinflate
the tires.
Underinflation can cause unusual
handling characteristics or can cause
the rim to slip on the tire bead, re-
sulting in an accident or damage to
the tire or rim.
Overinflation can cause the tire to
burst, resulting in personal injury.
Overinflation can also cause unusu-
al handling characteristics which may
result in an accident.
1. Tread wear indicator
2. Indicator location mark
❒ Check that the depth of the tread
groove is more than 1.6 mm (0.06 in.).
To help you check this, the tires have
molded- in tread wear indicators in the
grooves. When the indicators appear
on the tread surface, the remaining
depth of the tread is 1.6 mm (0.06 in.)
or less and the tire should be replaced.
❒ Check for abnormal wear, cracks and
damage. Any tires with cracks or oth-
er damage should be replaced. If any
tires show abnormal wear, have them
inspected by your Fiat Dealership.
WARNING
Hitting curbs and running
over rocks can damage tires
and affect wheel alignment. Be sure
to have tires and wheel alignment
checked periodically by your Fiat
Dealership.
❒ Check for loose wheel bolts.
