HEADLIGHT SWITCHThe headlight switch is located on the left side of
the instrument panel. This switch controls the
operation of the headlights, parking lights, in-
strument panel lights, instrument panel light dimming,
interior lights and fog lights.
(fig. 62)
Rotate the headlight switch clockwise to the first
detent for parking light and instrument panel light
operation. Rotate the headlight switch to the second
detent for headlight, parking light and instrument panel
light operation. AUTOMATIC HEADLIGHTS
(for versions/markets, where provided)
This system automatically turns the headlights on or off
according to ambient light levels. To turn the system
on, rotate the headlight switch counterclockwise to
the AUTO position. When the system is on, the
headlight time delay feature is also on. This means the
headlights will stay on for up to 90 seconds after you
turn the ignition switch OFF. To turn the automatic
system off, move the headlight switch out of the AUTO
position.
NOTE:
The engine must be running before the head-
lights will come on in the automatic mode.
HEADLIGHTS ON WITH WIPERS
(AVAILABLE WITH AUTOMATIC
HEADLIGHTS ONLY)
When this feature is active, the headlights will turn on
approximately 10 seconds after the wipers are turned
on if the headlight switch is placed in the AUTO
position. In addition, the headlights will turn off when
the wipers are turned off if they were turned on by this
feature.
NOTE: The Headlights On with Wipers feature can be
turned on and off using the Uconnect® System, refer
to “Uconnect® Settings” in “Knowing Your Vehicle”
for further information.

Spare Tire Removal
NOTE:On seven-passenger models, fold the third-
row passenger seats flat. This will provide more space
when accessing the jacking tools and when operating
the winch mechanism.
1. Remove the jack-handle components 1, 2 and 3 from storage and assemble them. (fig. 167) NOTE:
Assemble components 2 and 3 by seating the
small ball at the end of component 2 in the small hole at
the end of component 3. This will lock these compo-
nents together. Assemble components 1 and 2 so that
the wheel nut socket at the end of component 1 faces
upward when seated on component 2. This will make it
easier to rotate the assembly when operating the
winch mechanism.
2. Fit the assembled jack-handle over the winch drive nut located in the jack storage area. Rotate the
jack-handle assembly counterclockwise until the
spare tire is on the ground with enough cable slack
to allow you to pull the spare tire out from under-
neath the vehicle.

The winch mechanism is designed for use
with the jack-handle only. Use of an air
wrench or other power tools is not rec-
ommended and it can damage the winch.
3. Pull the spare tire out from underneath the vehicle and raise it upright so the tire's tread is on the
ground.
4. Tilt the retainer at the end of the winch cable and remove it from the center of the wheel. (fig. 168) Spare Tire Stowage
NOTE:
Refer to “Spare Tire Removal” for information
on assembling the winch tools.
1. Place the spare tire near to the winch cable. Hold the spare upright so that the tire's tread is on the
ground and the valve stem is at the top of the wheel
facing away from the rear of the vehicle.
2. Tilt the retainer at the end of the winch cable and drop it through the center of the wheel. Then place
the spare tire with the cable and retainer under-
neath the vehicle.
3. Fit the assembled jack-handle over the winch drive nut. Rotate the jack-handle assembly clockwise to
raise the spare tire into the storage area. Continue
to rotate the jack-handle assembly until you hear
the winch mechanism click three times. It cannot be
over tightened. Push against the tire several times to
be sure it is held securely in place.

Do not attempt to raise the vehicle by
jacking on locations other than those
indicated in the Jacking Instructions for
this vehicle.
(fig. 170)
1. Remove the spare tire, jack, and jack-handle from stowage.
2. Loosen, but do not remove, the wheel nuts on the wheel with the flat tire. Turn the wheel nuts coun-
terclockwise one turn while the wheel is still on the
ground. 3.Place the jack underneath the lift area that is closest
to the flat tire. Center the jack saddle between the
drain flute formations on the sill flange. Turn the jack
screw clockwise to firmly engage the jack saddle with
the lift area of the sill flange.
(fig. 171) (fig. 172)
(fig. 173) (fig. 174)
4. Raise the vehicle by turning the jack screw clock- wise with the jack handle. Raise the vehicle until the
tire just clears the road surface and enough clear-
ance is obtained to install the spare tire. Minimum
tire lift provides maximum stability.

Be sure to mount the spare tire with the
valve stem facing outward. The vehicle
could be damaged if the spare tire is
mounted incorrectly.
(fig. 175) NOTE:
• For vehicles so equipped, do not attempt to install a
center cap or wheel cover on the compact spare.
• Refer to “Compact Spare Tire” and to “Limited-Use Spare” under “Tires — General Information” in
“Technical Specifications” for additional warnings,
cautions, and information about the spare tire, its
use, and operation.

Install the wheel nuts with the cone-shaped end of the
nut toward the wheel. Lightly tighten the wheel nuts.
WARNING!
To avoid the risk of forcing the vehicle off
the jack, do not tighten the wheel nuts
fully until the vehicle has been lowered. Failure to
follow this warning may result in personal injury.
8. Lower the vehicle by turning the jack screw coun- terclockwise with the jack handle.
9. Finish tightening the lug nuts. Push down on the wrench while at the end of the handle for increased
leverage. Tighten the lug nuts in a star pattern until
each nut has been tightened twice. Refer to “Torque
Specifications” in this section for proper lug nut
torque. If in doubt about the correct tightness, have
them checked with a torque wrench by your autho-
rized dealer or service station.

ROAD TIRE INSTALLATION
Vehicles Equipped With Wheel Covers
1. Mount the road tire on the axle.
2. To ease the installation process for steel wheels with wheel covers, install two lug nuts on the
mounting studs which are on each side of the valve
stem. Install the lug nuts with the cone shaped end
of the nut toward the wheel. Lightly tighten the lug
nuts.WARNING!
To avoid the risk of forcing the vehicle
off t h
e jack, do not tighten the lug nuts
fully until the vehicle has been lowered. Failure to
follow this warning may result in personal injury.
(fig. 176)
3. Align the valve notch in the wheel cover with the valve stem on the wheel. Install the cover by hand,
snapping the cover over the two lug nuts. Do not
use a hammer or excessive force to install the cover.

BULB REPLACEMENT
NOTE:Lens fogging can occur under certain atmo-
spheric conditions. This will usually clear as atmo-
spheric conditions change to allow the condensation to
change back into a vapor. Turning the lamps on will
usually accelerate the clearing process.
Where possible, it is advisable to have
bulbs changed at a FIAT Dealership.
Proper operation and orientation of the
external lights are essential for driving safety and
complying with the law.
LOW BEAM/HIGH BEAM/FRONT TURN
SIGNAL AND FRONT POSITION LAMP
1. Open the hood.
NOTE: It may be necessary to remove the air cleaner
filter housing and position the Totally Integrated Power
Module (TIPM) aside to replace certain lamps in the left
headlamp housing.
2. Rotate the applicable bulb and connector assembly ¼ turn counterclockwise and remove the assembly
from the headlamp housing. (fig. 178)
3. Disconnect the bulb from the harness connector and then connect the replacement bulb.
Do not touch the new bulb with your
fingers. Oil contamination will severely
shorten bulb life. If the bulb comes in
contact with any oily surface, clean the bulb with
rubbing alcohol.
4. Install the bulb and connector assembly into the headlamp housing and rotate it ¼ turn clockwise to
lock it in place.
