Clutch operation
Quick or slight clutch engagement
made while the engine is running at
high speed will cause damage to the
clutch and transmission because the
tractive force is very great. Operate the
pedal slowly and positively.Limited-slip differential
A limited-slip differential is applied for
the rear wheel differential only. The
features of this limited-slip differential
are described below:
Just as with a conventional differential,
the wheel on one side is allowed to turn
at a different speed from the wheel on
the other side when the vehicle is
cornering. The difference between the
limited-slip differential and a
conventional differential is that if the
wheel on one side of the vehicle loses
traction, a greater amount of torque is
applied to the wheel on the other side
to improve traction.
Even if there is a difference in the
amount of traction the wheels can get,
if both of them are spinning, the
limited-slip differential will not be
effective.
121) 122)
IMPORTANT
119)Always use tyres of the same size,
same type, and same brand which have no
wear differences. Using the tyres which
differ in size, type, brands or the degree of
wear or the inappropriate tyre inflation
pressure, will increase the differential oil
temperature and may be impossible to shift
the transfer, resulting in possible damage to
the driving system. Further, the drive train
will be subjected to excessive loading,
possibly leading to oil leakage, component
seizure, or other serious faults.
120)Be sure to set the drive mode-selector
to “2H” position and transport the vehicle
with the driving wheels on a carriage (Type
C or D) as illustrated. Never try to tow with
the drive mode-selector in “4H” or “4L”
position (Easy select 4WD), “4H”, “4HLc” or
“4LLc” position (Super select 4WD II) and
with the front or rear wheels on the ground
(Type A or B) as illustrated. This could result
in damage to the drivetrain, or unstable
towing. If you cannot set the drive
mode-selector to “2H” position or the
transmission is malfunctioning or damaged,
transport the vehicle with all the wheels on
a carriage (Type C or D) as illustrated.
121)Never start the engine while one of the
rear wheels is jacked up and the other in
contact with the ground; doing so may
cause the vehicle to jump forward.
122)When attempting to extract the
vehicle from snow, mud, etc., and the
engine is run continuously at high speed,
the limited-slip differential will be adversely
affected.

STARTING AND DRIVING

ENGINE
OVERHEATING
When the engine is overheating,will
blink. If this occurs, take the following
corrective measures:
1. Stop the vehicle in a safe place.
2. Check whether steam is coming from
the engine compartment.
If steam does not come from the engine
compartment: with the engine still
running, raise the bonnet to ventilate
the engine compartment.
If steam is coming from the engine
compartment: stop the engine, and
when the steam stops, raise the bonnet
to ventilate the engine compartment.
Restart the engine.
248) 249) 250)
3. Confirm that the cooling fan (B) is
turning.
If the cooling fan is turning: after the
high coolant temperature warning has
gone off, stop the engine
If the cooling fan is not turning: stop the
engine immediately and contact a Fiat
dealership for assistance.A — Radiator cap
B — Cooling fan
C — Reserve tank
251)
4. Check the coolant level in the reserve
tank (C).
5. Add coolant to the radiator and/or
reserve tank if necessary (refer to the
“Maintenance” section).
252)
131)
6. Examine the radiator hoses for
coolant leakage and the drive belt for
looseness or damage.
If there is anything wrong with the
cooling system or drive belt, have the
problem corrected at a Fiat Dealership.
WARNING
248)Do not open the bonnet while steam
is coming from the engine compartment. It
could cause steam or hot water to spurt
out, causing burns. Hot water could spurt
out even when there is no steam coming
out, and some parts will be very hot. Be
very careful when opening the bonnet.
249)Be careful of hot steam, which could
be blowing off the reserve tank cap.
250)Do not attempt to remove the radiator
cap while the engine is hot.
251)Be careful not to get your hands or
clothes caught in the cooling fan.
252)Make sure that the engine has cooled
down before removing the radiator cap (A),
because hot steam or boiling water
otherwise will gush from the filler port and
may scald you.

TOWING
If your vehicle needs to be towed
If towing is necessary, we recommend
you to have it done by your Fiat
Dealership or a commercial tow truck
service. In the following cases,
transport the vehicle using a tow truck.
The engine runs but the vehicle does
not move, or an abnormal noise is
produced.
Inspection of the vehicle’s underside
reveals that oil or some other fluid is
leaking.
If a wheel gets stuck in a ditch, do not
try to tow the vehicle. Please contact
your Fiat Dealership or a commercial
tow truck service for assistance.
Only when you cannot receive a towing
service from a Fiat Dealership or
commercial tow truck service, tow your
vehicle carefully in accordance with the
instructions given in “Emergency
towing” in this part. The regulations
concerning towing may differ from
country to country. It is recommended
that you obey the regulations of the
area where you are driving your vehicle.Towing the vehicle by a tow truck

Towing with front wheels off the
ground (Type B)
Place the gearshift lever in the “N”
(Neutral) position (manual transmission)
or the selector lever in the “N”
(NEUTRAL) position (automatic
transmission). Release the parking
brake.
142)
Towing with rear wheels off the
ground (Type C)
Place the gearshift lever in the “N”
(Neutral) position (manual transmission)
or the selector lever in the “N”
(NEUTRAL) position (automatic
transmission). Turn the ignition switch to
the “ACC” position or put the operation
mode in ACC and secure the steering
wheel in a straight-ahead position with
a rope or tiedown strap. Never place
the ignition switch in the “LOCK”
position or put the operation mode in
OFF when towing.
Emergency towing
If towing service is not available in an
emergency, your vehicle may be
temporarily towed by a rope secured to
the towing hook. If your vehicle is to be
towed by another vehicle or if your
vehicle tows another vehicle, pay
careful attention to the following points.

142)Never tow an automatic transmission
vehicle with the front wheels up (and the
rear wheels on the ground) (Type B) when
the automatic transmission fluid level is low.
This may cause serious and expensive
damage to the transmission.
143)When the engine is not running, the
brake booster and power steering pump do
not operate. This means higher brake
depression force and higher steering effort
are required. Therefore, vehicle operation is
very difficult.
144)Do not leave the ignition switch in the
“LOCK” position or the operation mode in
OFF. The steering wheel will lock, causing
loss of control.
145)On vehicles with super select 4WD II,
when you are going to tow another vehicle,
set the drive mode-selector to “4H”
position. Selecting “2H” drive may increase
the differential oil temperature, resulting in
possible damage to the driving system.
Further, the drive train will be subjected to
excessive loading possibly leading to oil
leakage, component seizure, or other
serious faults.OPERATION UNDER
ADVERSE DRIVING
CONDITIONS
On a flooded road
Avoid flooded roads. Water could enter
the brake discs, resulting in temporarily
ineffective brakes. In such cases, lightly
depress the brake pedal to see if the
brakes operate properly. If they do not,
lightly depress the pedal several times
while driving in order to dry the brake
pads.
When driving in rain or on a road with
many puddles a layer of water may
form between the tyres and the road
surface. This reduces a tyre’s frictional
resistance on the road, resulting in loss
of steering stability and braking
capability.
To cope with this, observe the following
items:
(a) Drive your vehicle at a slow speed.
(b) Do not drive on worn tyres.
(c) Always maintain the specified tyre
inflation pressures.On a snow-covered or frozen road
When driving on a snow-covered or
frozen road, it is recommended that you
use snow tyres or snow traction device
(tyre chains). Refer to the “Snow tyres”
and “Snow traction device (tyre chains)”
sections.
Avoid high-speed operation, sudden
acceleration, abrupt brake application
and sharp cornering.
Depressing the brake pedal during
travel on snowy or icy roads may cause
tyre slippage and skidding. When
traction between the tyres and the road
is reduced the wheels may skid and the
vehicle cannot readily be brought to a
stop by conventional braking
techniques. Braking will differ,
depending upon whether you have
anti-lock brake system (ABS). If you do
have ABS, brake by pressing the brake
pedal hard, and keeping it pressed. If
you do not have ABS, pump the brake
pedal with short rapid jabs, each time
fully applying and fully releasing for
greatest effect.
Allow extra distance between your
vehicle and the vehicle in front of you,
and avoid sudden braking.
Accumulation of ice on the braking
system can cause the wheels to lock.
Pull away from a standstill slowly after
confirming safety around the vehicle.

147)
1. Before replacing a fuse, always turn
off the electrical circuit concerned and
place the ignition switch in the “LOCK”
position or put the operation mode in
OFF.
2. Remove the fuse puller (A) from the
inside of the fuse block in the engine
compartment.
3. Referring to the fuse load capacity
table, check the fuse pertaining to the
problem.B. Fuse is OK
C. Blown fuse
NOTE If any system does not function
but the fuse corresponding to that
system is normal, there may be a fault
in the system elsewhere. We
recommend you to have your vehicle
checked.
4. Insert a new fuse of the same
capacity by using the fuse puller into
the same place at the fuse block.
WARNING
294)If the newly inserted fuse blows again
after a short time, we recommend you to
have the electrical system checked to find
the cause and rectify it.
295)Never use a fuse with a larger
capacity than specified or a substitute
(such as a cable or foil). Doing so could
cause the circuit wires to overheat and
create a fire.
296)Never replace a blown fuse with metal
wires or other material.
297)Before replacing a fuse, make sure
that the ignition key has been removed and
that all the other services are switched off
and/or disengaged.
298)If a general protection fuse for safety
systems (airbag system, braking system),
power unit systems (engine system,
transmission system) or steering system
blows, contact a Fiat Dealership.

REPLACEMENT OF
LAMP BULBS
299) 300) 301) 302) 303) 304)
Before replacing a bulb, ensure the
lamp is off. Do not touch the glass part
of the new bulb with your bare fingers;
the skin oil left on the glass will
evaporate when the bulb gets hot and
the vapor will condense on the reflector
and dim the surface.
NOTE If you are unsure of how to carry
out the work as required, we
recommend you to consult a specialist.
Be careful not to scratch the vehicle
body when removing a lamp and lens.
When it rains, or when the vehicle has
been washed, the inside of the lens
sometimes becomes foggy. This is the
same phenomenon as when window
glass mists up on a humid day, and
does not indicate a functional problem.When the lamp is switched on, the heat
will remove the fog. However, if water
gathers inside the lamp, we
recommend you to have the lamp
checked.
Bulb location and capacity
When replacing a bulb, use a new bulb
with the same wattage and colour.
Outside
Front
Except for vehicles with high
intensity discharge headlamps
1. Position lamps: 5 W (W5W)
2. Front turn-signal lamps: 21 W
(PY21W/P21W)
3. Headlamps, high/low beam:
60/55 W (H4)
4. Type 1: Front fog lamps: 35 W (H8)
Daytime running lamps: 13 W (P13W).

Glove box lamp
Have the glove box lamp bulb replaced
at a Fiat dealership.
WARNING
299)Bulbs are extremely hot immediately
after being turned off. When replacing a
bulb, wait for it to cool sufficiently before
touching it. You could otherwise be burnt.
300)Handle halogen lamp bulb with care.
The gas inside halogen lamp bulb is highly
pressurized, so dropping, knocking, or
scratching a halogen lamp bulb can cause
it to shatter.
301)Never hold the halogen lamp bulb
with a bare hand, dirty glove, etc. The oil
from your hand could cause the bulb to
break the next time the headlamps are
operated. If the glass surface is dirty, it
must be cleaned with alcohol, paint thinner,
etc., and refit it after drying it thoroughly.302)Always consult a specialist when
repairing or replacing the bulbs of high
intensity discharge headlamps. This is
because the power circuit, bulbs and
electrodes generate a high voltage that
could cause an electric shock.
303)Modifications or repairs to the electric
system that are not carried out properly or
do not take the system technical
specifications into account can cause
malfunctions leading to the risk of fire.
304)Only replace bulbs when the engine is
off. Also ensure that the engine is cold, to
prevent the risk of burns.
