WELCOME FROM FIAT
Congratulations on selecting your new FIAT vehicle. Be assured that it represents
precision workmanship, distinctive styling, and high quality - all essentials that are
traditional to our vehicles.
Your new FIAT vehicle has characteristics to enhance the driver's control under
some driving conditions. These are to assist the driver and are never a substitute for
attentive driving. They can never take the driver's place. Always drive carefully.
Your new vehicle has many features for the comfort and convenience of you and
your passengers. Some of these should not be used when driving because they
take your eyes from the road or your attention from driving. Never text while driving
or take your eyes more than momentarily off the road.
This guide illustrates and describes the operation of features and equipment that
are either standard or optional on this vehicle. This guide may also include a de-
scription of features and equipment that are no longer available or were not ordered
on this vehicle. Please disregard any features and equipment described in this guide
that are not available on this vehicle. Chrysler Group LLC reserves the right to make
changes in design and specifications and/or make additions to or improvements to
its products without imposing any obligation upon itself to install them on products
previously manufactured.
This User Guide has been prepared to help you quickly become acquainted with
the important features of your vehicle. It contains most things you will need to oper-
ate and maintain the vehicle, including emergency information.
The DVD includes a computer application containing detailed owner's information
which can be viewed on a personal computer or MAC computer. The multimedia
DVD also includes videos which can be played on any standard DVD player. Addi-
tional DVD operational information is located on the back of the DVD sleeve.
For complete owner information, refer to your Owner's Manual on the
DVD in the owner’s kit provided at the time of new vehicle purchase.
For your convenience, the information contained on the DVD may also be printed
and saved for future reference.
We are committed to protecting our environment and natural resources. By con-
verting from paper to electronic delivery for the majority of the user information for
your vehicle, together we greatly reduce the demand for tree-based products and
lessen the stress on our environment.

- Malfunction Indicator Light (MIL)
Certain conditions, such as a loose or missing gas cap, poor fuel quality, etc., may
illuminate the MIL after engine start. The vehicle should be serviced if the light stays
on through several typical driving cycles. In most situations, the vehicle will drive
normally and not require towing.
If the MIL flashes when the engine is running, serious conditions may exist that
could lead to immediate loss of power or severe catalytic converter damage. We
recommend you do not operate the vehicle. Have the vehicle serviced immediately.
- Electronic Stability Control (ESC) Activation / Malfunction
Indicator Light
The “ESC Activation/Malfunction Indicator Light” in the instrument cluster will come
on for four seconds when the ignition switch is turned to the ON/RUN position. If
the “ESC Activation/Malfunction Indicator Light” comes on continuously with the
engine running, a malfunction has been detected in the ESC system. If this light re-
mains on, see your authorized dealer as soon as possible to have the problem diag-
nosed and corrected.
NOTE:
• The “ESC Off Indicator Light” and the “ESC Activation/Malfunction Indicator
Light” come on momentarily each time the ignition switch is turned to ON/RUN.
• Each time the ignition is turned to ON/RUN, the ESC system will be ON even if it
was turned off previously.
• ESC Activation/Malfunction Light can blink during a ESC or TC intervention.
- Generic Warning Light
The Generic Warning Light will illuminate if any of the following conditions occur: Oil
Change Request, Engine Oil Pressure Sensor Failure, External Light Failure, Fuel
Cut-Off Not Available, Parking Sensor Failure, DST System Failure.
- Electronic Throttle Control (ETC) Indicator Light
This light informs you of a problem with the system.
If a problem is detected, the light will come on while the engine is running. Cycle the
ignition when the vehicle has completely stopped and the shift lever is placed in the
PARK position; the light should turn off.
If the light remains lit with the engine running, your vehicle will usually be drivable.
However, see an authorized dealer immediately. If the light is flashing when the en-
gine is running, immediate service is required, and you may experience reduced
performance, an elevated/rough idle or engine stall, and your vehicle may require
towing.
WHAT TO DO IN EMERGENCIES

- Park/Headlight ON Indicator
This indicator will illuminate when the park lights or headlights are turned on.
- Power Steering System Warning
This light is used to manage the electrical warning of the EPS (Electric Power Steer-
ing System). When the ignition is turned to the ON/RUN position, the warning light
will illuminate momentarily. If the warning light stays on, cycle the ignition to the OFF
position and back to ON/RUN. If the warning light stays on, contact your authorized
dealer.
If the warning light switches on while driving, you may not have steering assistance. Al-
though it will still be possible to steer the car, the effort needed to operate the steering
wheel could be increased: contact an authorized dealer as soon as possible.
- Defroster Indicator
Indicates that defroster is on.
Change Engine Oil
• Your vehicle is equipped with an engine oil change indicator system. The
“Change Engine Oil” message will flash in the EVIC display for approximately 10
seconds after a single chime has sounded to indicate the next scheduled oil
change interval. The engine oil change indicator system is duty cycle based,
which means the engine oil change interval may fluctuate, dependent upon your
personal driving style.
• Unless reset, this message will continue to display each time you turn the ignition
switch to the ON/RUN position. To turn off the message temporarily, press and
release theMENUbutton. To reset the oil change indicator system (after per-
forming the scheduled maintenance), refer to the following procedure:
1. Turn the ignition switch to the ON position. (do not start the engine).
2. Fully depress the accelerator pedal slowly, three times within 10 seconds.
3. Turn the ignition switch to the OFF/LOCK position.
NOTE:If the indicator message illuminates when you start the vehicle, the oil change indicatorsystem did not reset. If necessary, repeat this procedure.

MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE
Your vehicle is equipped with an automatic oil change indicator system. The oil
change indicator system will remind you that it is time to take your vehicle in for
scheduled maintenance.
Based on engine operation conditions, the oil change indicator message will illumi-
nate. This means that service is required for your vehicle. Operating conditions such
as frequent short-trips, trailer tow, extremely hot or cold ambient temperatures, and
E85 fuel usage will influence when the “Change Oil” message is displayed. Severe
operating conditions can cause the change oil message to illuminate as early as
3,500 miles (5,600 km) since last reset. Have your vehicle serviced as soon as pos-
sible, within the next 500 miles (805 km).
Your authorized dealer will reset the oil change indicator message after completing
the scheduled oil change. If a scheduled oil change is performed by someone other
than your authorized dealer, the message can be reset by referring to the steps de-
scribed under “Electronic Vehicle Information Center (EVIC)” in “Understanding Your
Instrument Panel” in your Owners Manual on the DVD for further information.
NOTE:Under no circumstances should oil change intervals exceed 10,000 miles (16,000 km) ortwelve months, whichever comes first.
Severe Duty All Models
Change Engine Oil at 4000 miles (6,500 km) if the vehicle is operated in a dusty and
off road environment. This type of vehicle use is considered Severe Duty.
Once A Month Or Before A Long Trip:
Check engine oil level
Check windshield washer fluid level
Check the tire inflation pressures and look for unusual wear or damage
Check the fluid levels of the coolant reservoir and brake master cylinder as needed
Check function of all interior and exterior lights
