IMPORTANT NOTES ABOUT THE TPMS
SYSTEM
The fault indications are not stored and will therefore not
be displayed after the engine has been switched off and
then on again. If the fault conditions persist, the control
unit will send the relative indications to the instrument
panel only after the vehicle has been in motion for a short
time.
WARNING Particularly strong radio frequency interference
may cause the TPMS system to function incorrectly. This
condition is indicated to the driver by a message on the dis-
play. The warning message will go off automatically as soon
as the interference stops disturbing the system.

CONTENTS
The presence of TPMS does not exoner-
ate the driver from regularly checking the
pressure of the tyres and the spare wheel (see
“Wheels” in the “Maintenance and care” section).
WARNING
The TPMS is not able to warn you of sud-
den tyre pressure losses (for example when
a tyre bursts). In this case, stop the car, braking
with care and avoiding sharp steering actions.
WARNING
Replacing the normal tyres with winter
tyres and vice versa requires an inspection
of the TPMS, which should be carried out only
by a Fiat Dealership.
WARNING
The TPMS requires the use of specific
equipment. Contact a Fiat Dealership to
find out which accessories are compatible with the
system (wheels, hub caps etc.). Using other ac-
cessories may hinder the normal operation of the
system.
WARNING
Changes in outside temperature may
cause tyre pressures to vary. The TPMS
system may temporarily indicate insufficient pres-
sure. In this case, check the tyre pressures with the
tyres cold and, if necessary, pump them up.
