Tire Chains (Traction Devices); Tire Rotation Recommendations - Fiat 2013 500 ABARTH Owner's Manual

CAUTION!
Replacing original tires with tires of a different size
may result in false speedometer and odometer read-
ings.

TIRE CHAINS (TRACTION DEVICES)

Due to limited clearance, tire chains or traction devices
are not recommended.
CAUTION!
Damage to the vehicle may result if tire chains are
used.

TIRE ROTATION RECOMMENDATIONS

The tires on the front and rear of your vehicle operate at
different loads and perform different steering, driving,
and braking functions. For these reasons, they wear at
unequal rates.
These effects can be reduced by timely rotation of tires.
The benefits of rotation are especially worthwhile with
aggressive tread designs such as those on all season type
tires. Rotation will increase tread life, help to maintain
mud, snow and wet traction levels, and contribute to a
smooth, quiet ride.
Refer to the "Maintenance Schedule" for the proper
maintenance intervals. The reasons for any rapid or
unusual wear should be corrected prior to rotation being
performed.
