Tire Rotation Recommendations - Fiat 500e Owner's Manual

248 STARTING AND OPERATING
CAUTION! (Continued)
• Do not drive for prolonged period on dry pave-
ment.
• Observe the tire chain manufacturer's instructions
on the method of installation, operating speed, and
conditions for use. Always use the lower suggested
operating speed of the chain manufacturer if dif-
ferent from the speed recommended by the manu-
facture.
• Do not use traction devices on a compact spare tire.

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.
The front and rear wheels are different sizes and cannot
be used in place of each other. Rotate the wheels "side-
to-side" as shown in the diagram.
