Fiat Doblo Owner's Handbook Manual - Snow Tyres

SNOW TYRES

These tyres have been specially de-

signed for driving on snow or ice, to

be fitted in place of the standard tyres.

Use snow tyres of the same size as

the standard tyres provided with the

vehicle.

Fiat Dealership will be happy to

provide advice concerning the most

suitable type of tyre for the customer’s

requirements.

For the type of tyre to be used, in-

flation pressures and the specifications

of snow tyres, follow the instructions

given at paragraph “Wheels” in section

“Technical Specifications”.

The winter features of these tyres

are reduced considerably when the

tread depth is below 4 mm. In this

case, they should be replaced.

Due to the snow tyre features, un-

der normal conditions of use or on

long motorway journeys, the perfor-

mance of these tyres is lower than that

of standard tyres.

It is therefore necessary to limit their

use to the purposes for which they are

certified.

IMPORTANT When snow tyres

are used with a max. speed index be-

low the one that can be reached by

the vehicle (increased by 5%), place a

notice in the passenger compartment,

plainly in the driver’s view which states

the max. permissible speed of the

snow tyres (as per EC Directive).

All four tyres should be the same

(brand and track) to ensure greater

safety when driving and braking and

better driveability.

Remember that it is inappropriate to

change the direction of rotation of

tyres.

The max. speed for

snow tyres with “T”

marking , is 190 km/h. The

Road Traffic Code speed limits

must however be always strictly

observed.
