DRIVING YOUR CAR
150
The specific characteristics of the
winter tyres mean that under normal
driving conditions or when driving long
distances on motorways, their perfor-
mance is greatly reduced in compari-
son to those normally fitted to the car.
The use of these tyres should there-
fore be limited to the conditions for
which they were designed and certified.
IMPORTANT When using winter
tyres with a maximum speed rating
lower than the speed which can be
reached by the car (plus 5%), place a
suitable notice in the passenger com-
partment to inform the driver of the
top speed which the winter tyre can
run at (as per Directive CE).
All four tyres should be the same
(brand and track) to ensure greater
safety when driving, braking and cor-
nering.
SNOW CHAINS
The use of snow chains is regulated
by the legislation in force in the coun-
try the car is driven in.
The chains may only be applied to
the front wheel (drive wheel) tyres.
Use only low profile chains (maxi-
mum 12 mm off the tyre).
We recommend using Lineaccessori
Fiat snow chains.
Check the tautness of the chains af-
ter driving some ten meters.
The max speed for snow
tyres with “Q” marking is
160 km/h, 190 Km/h for
tyres with “T” marking and
210 Km/h for tyres with “H”
marking. The Road Traffic Code
speed limits must however be al-
ways strictly observed.
Remember not to invert the tyre di-
rection of rotation.
