Страница: 166 / 211

The tyres must be replaced when the
tread is less than 1.6 mm thick. In
any case, follow the laws in force in the
country you are in.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
❒
As far as possible, avoid sharp
braking, screech starts and violent
shocks against pavements, potholes
or other hard obstacles. Driving for
long stretches over uneven roads can
damage the tyres;
❒
periodically check that the tyres have
no cuts in the side wall, abnormal
swelling or irregular tread wear.
Contact an Abarth Dealership
if required.
❒
avoid overloading the car when
travelling: this may cause serious
damage to the wheels and tyres;
❒
if a tyre is punctured, stop
immediately and change it to avoid
damage to the tyre, the rim,
suspensions and steering system;
❒
tyres age even if they are not used a
great deal. Cracks in the tread and
on the side walls are a sign of ageing.
In any event, have the tyres checked
by specialised personnel if they
have been fitted for longer than 6
years. Also remember to check the
space-saver wheel with particular
care;
❒
in the case of replacement, always fit
new tyres, avoiding those of
unknown origin;
❒
if a tyre is changed, also change the
inflation valve;
❒
to allow even wear between the front
and rear tyres, it is advisable to
change them over every 10–15
thousand kilometres, keeping them
on the same side of the car to avoid
inverting the direction of rotation.
WARNING
133) Remember that the road
holding qualities of your car also
depend on correct tyre pressures.
134) If tyre pressure is too low, it
may overheat and be severely
damaged as a result.
135) Do not exchange the tyres from
the left to the right of the car and
vice versa.
136) Never submit alloy rims to
repainting treatments requiring
the use of temperatures
exceeding 150°C. The mechanical
properties of the wheels could
be impaired.
