WARNING!
•Overloading of your tires is dangerous.Overloading can cause tire failure, affect
vehicle handling, and increase your stopping distance.Use tires of the recom-
mended load capacity for your vehicle.Never overload them.
•Improperly inflated tires are dangerous and can cause collisions.Under-inflation is
the leading cause of tire failure and may result in severe cracking, component sepa-
ration, or “blow out”.Over-inflation reduces a tire’s ability to cushion shock.Ob-
jects on the road and chuck holes can cause damage that results in tire failure.
Unequal tire pressures can cause steering problems.You could lose control of your
vehicle.Over-inflated or under-inflated tires can affect vehicle handling and can fail
suddenly, resulting in loss of vehicle control.
TIRE ROTATION RECOMMENDATIONS
NOTE:
The front and rear wheels are different sizes and cannot be used in place of each other.
Rotate the wheels “side-to-side” as shown in the diagram.
•The tires on the front and rear of your
vehicle operate at different loads and
perform different steering, driving, and
braking functions.For these reasons, they
wear at unequal rates.
•These effects can be reduced by timely
rotation of tires.The benefits of rotation
are especially worthwhile with aggressive
tread designs such as those on all season
type tires.Rotation will increase tread life, help to maintain mud, snow and wet traction
levels, and contribute to a smooth, quiet ride.
•Refer to the “Maintenance Schedule” for the proper maintenance intervals.The reasons
for any rapid or unusual wear should be corrected prior to rotation being performed.

This guide has been prepared to help you get quickly acquainted with
your new FIAT and to provide a convenient reference source for common
questions. However, it is not a substitute for your Owner’s Manual.
For complete operational instructions, maintenance procedures and
important safety messages, please consult your Owner’s Manual,
Navigation/Uconnect
® Manuals and other Warning Labels in your vehicle.
Not all features shown in this guide may apply to your vehicle. For
additional information on accessories to help personalize your vehicle,
visit www.mopar.com (U.S.), www.mopar.ca (Canada) or your
local FIAT Dealer.
DRIVING AND ALCOHO L: Drunken driving is one of the most frequent
causes of collisions. Your driving ability can be seriously impaired with
blood alcohol levels far below the legal minimum. If you are drinking,
don’t drive. Ride with a designated non-drinking driver, call a cab, a friend,
or use public transportation.
Driving after drinking can lead to a collision. Your perceptions are less
sharp, your reflexes are slower, and your judgment is impaired when you
have been drinking. Never drink and then drive.
WARNING
If you are the first registered retail owner of your vehicle,
you may obtain a complimentary printed copy of the
Owner’s Manual, Navigation/Uconnect
® Manuals or
Warranty Booklet by calling 1-888-242-6342 (U.S.) or
1-800-387-1143 (Canada) or by contacting your dealer.

The driver’s primary responsibility is the safe operation of
the vehicle. Driving while distracted can result in loss of
vehicle control, resulting in a collision and personal injury.
Chrysler Group LLC strongly recommends that the driver use
extreme caution when using any device or feature that may take
their attention off the road. Use of any electrical devices such as
cell phones, computers, portable radios, vehicle navigation or
other devices by the driver while the vehicle is moving is
dangerous and could lead to a serious collision. Texting while
driving is also dangerous and should never be done while the
vehicle is moving. If you find yourself unable to devote your full
attention to vehicle operation, pull off the road to a safe location
and stop your vehicle. Some States or Provinces prohibit the use
of cellular telephones or texting while driving. It is always the
driver’s responsibility to comply with all local laws.
IMPORTANT : This User Guide is intended to familiarize you
with the important features of your vehicle. The DVD enclosed
contains your Owner’s Manual, Navigation/Uconnect
® Manuals,
Warranty Booklets, Tire Warranty and 24-Hour Towing
Assistance (new vehicles purchased in the U.S.) or Roadside
Assistance (new vehicles purchased in Canada) in electronic
format. We hope you find it useful. 5eplacement ' 9 ' kits
