3.2.2 Tyre pressure
To drive in complete safety, check the tyre pressure regularly and before any long trip.
Check the pressure when cold. If you need to check the pressure while the tyres are hot, allow for an additional pressure of
0.3 bars. You must adapt the tyre pressure according to the vehicle’s load.
Driving with under-inflated tyres will reduce their lifespan and will create a risk of overheating which may seriously damage
them or even cause them to burst.
Tyre pressure when cold recommended on a FIAT chassis:

Changing a wheel
If you have to replace a wheel, before doing anything:
• Ensure that the ground is flat and stable (if the ground is not stable we advise you to place solid supports under the jack).
• Put the handbrake on.
• Place blocks or stabilisers to immobilise your vehicle.
• Release the wheel slightly before raising the vehicle (place the jack in the positions provided for this purpose so as not to
damage your vehicle).
Tip:
to make the task easier, you can use a wheel brace fitted with an extension tube for greater release strength. Do not
forget to check the tightness of the wheel around 100 km after changing it, and also remember to have your damaged tyre
repaired as soon as possible.
3.2.3 Fresh water
There are two ways of filling the fresh water tank:
• Via the filling pipe on which
the funnel is to be tightened.
You can find water supplies in service stations when filling up with fuel. An increasing number of service points are
being set up by local authorities (for filling up with fresh water and emptying your wastewater). Filling is done by
opening the door of the heating system technical area on the left side of your camping car.
• Via the dispenser located in the
technical area (optional).
