geographical features before
attempting to cross a stream and
ford the stream where the water is
as shallow as practicable.Set the
drive mode-selector to “4L”
position (Easy select 4WD), “4LLc”
position (Super select 4WD II).Drive
slowly at a speed of approximately
5 km/h to avoid splashing too
much water.
144) 145)
Inspection and maintenance
following rough road operation
After operating the vehicle in rough road
conditions, be sure to perform the
following inspection and maintenance
procedures:
Check that the vehicle has not been
damaged by rocks, gravel, etc.
Carefully wash the vehicle with water.
Drive the vehicle slowly while lightly
depressing the brake pedal in order to
dry out the brakes. If the brakes still do
not function properly, contact a Fiat
Dealership as soon as possible to have
the brakes checked.
Remove the insects, dried grass, etc.
clogging the radiator core and the A/T
oil cooler.
After crossing a stream, be sure to have
the following items inspected at a Fiat
Dealership and take the necessary
measures:
Check the brake system and, if
necessary, have it serviced.
Check the engine, transmission,
transfer, and differential oil or grease
level and turbidity. If the oil or grease is
milky, it indicates water contamination.
Replace it with new oil or grease.
Grease the propeller shaft.
Check the inside of the vehicle. If
ingress of water is found, dry the carpet
etc.
Inspect the headlamps. If the
headlamp bulb is flooded with water,
have the headlamp drained off.
IMPORTANT
140)Selecting “4H” or “4L” position (Easy
select 4WD), “4HLc” or “4LLc” position
(Super select 4WD II) to drive on dry paved
road will increase the fuel consumption with
possible noise generation and early tyre
wear. It may also 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.
141)Avoid sudden braking, sudden
acceleration, and sharp turning; such
operations could cause skidding and
spinouts.142)Do not force the vehicle or drive
recklessly on sandy surfaces. In
comparison with normal road surfaces, the
engine and other drive-system components
are put under excessive strain when driving
on such a surface, and this could lead to
accidents.
143)If any of following conditions occur
while the vehicle is being driven,
immediately park your vehicle in a safe
place and follow these procedures: the
needle in the temperature gauge
approaches the overheating zone. Refer to
“Engine overheating”; automatic
transmission fluid temperature warning
lamp comes on. Refer to “When the A/T
(automatic transmission) fluid temperature
warning lamp comes on”.
144)Never cross a stream where the water
is deep. Do not change gears while
crossing the stream. Frequent crossing of
streams can adversely affect the life span
of the vehicle; we recommend you to take
the necessary measures to prepare,
inspect, and repair the vehicle.
145)After crossing a stream, apply the
brakes to be sure they are functioning
properly. If the brakes are wet and not
functioning properly, dry them out by
driving slowly while lightly depressing the
brake pedal. Inspect each part of the
vehicle carefully.
180
STARTING AND DRIVING

A film of water can be formed on the
brake discs or brake drums and
prevent normal braking after driving in
heavy rain or through large puddles, or
after the vehicle is washed. If this
occurs, dry the brakes out by driving
slowly while lightly depressing the brake
pedal.
When driving downhill
It is important to take advantage of the
engine braking by shifting to a lower
shift position while driving on steep
downhill roads in order to prevent the
brakes from overheating.
239)
Brake pads and linings
Avoid hard braking situations. New
brakes need to be broken-in by
moderate use for the first 200 km.
The disc brakes are provided with a
warning device which emits a shrieking
metallic sound while braking if the brake
pads have reached their wear limit. If
you hear this sound, have the brake
pads replaced.
240)
IMPORTANT
148)Avoid driving habits that cause heavy
braking and never “ride” the brakes by
resting your foot on the brake pedal while
driving. It causes bake overheating and
fade.
WARNING
237)Do not turn off the engine while your
vehicle is in motion. If you turn off the
engine while driving, the power assistance
for the braking system will stop working
and your brakes will not work effectively.
238)If the power assist is lost or if either
brake hydraulic system stops working
properly, have your vehicle checked
immediately.
239)Do not leave any objects near the
brake pedal or let a floor mat slide under it;
doing so could prevent the full pedal stroke
that would be necessary in an emergency.
Make sure that the pedal can be operated
freely at all times. Make sure the floor mat
is securely held in place.
240)Driving with worn brake pads will
make it harder to stop, and can cause an
accident.
CRUISE CONTROL
(where provided)
Cruise control is an automatic speed
control system that keeps a set speed.
It can be activated at approximately
40 km/h or more.
241) 242)
149) 150) 151)
NOTE Cruise control may not be able
to keep your speed on uphills or
downhills. Your speed may decrease on
a steep uphill. You may use the
accelerator pedal if you want to stay at
your set speed. Your speed may
increase to more than the set speed on
183
a steep downhill. You have to use the
brake to control your speed. As a
result, the set speed driving is
deactivated.

If the engine cannot be started because
the battery is weak or dead, the battery
from another vehicle can be used with
jumper cables to start the engine.
1. Get the vehicles close enough so the
jumper cables can reach, but be sure
the vehicles aren’t touching each other.
2. Turn off all lamps, heater and other
electrical loads.
3. Set the parking brake firmly on each
vehicle. Put an automatic transmission
in “P” (PARK) or a manual transmission
in “N” (Neutral). Stop the engine.
4. Make sure battery electrolyte is at the
proper level. Refer to “Battery”.
5. Connect one end of one jumper
cable (1) to the positive (+) terminal of
the discharged battery (A), and the
other end (2) to the positive (+) terminal
of the booster battery (B).
Connect one end of the other jumper
cable to the negative (−) terminal of the
booster battery (B), and the other end
to the engine block of the vehicle with
the discharged battery at the point
farthest from the battery.
NOTE Open the terminal cover before
connecting the jumper cable to the
positive (+) terminal of the battery. Refer
to “Battery”.6. Start the engine in the vehicle which
has the booster battery, let the engine
idle a few minutes, then start the engine
in the vehicle with the discharged
battery.
NOTE For vehicles equipped with the
Start&Stop system, press the
“Start&Stop OFF” switch to deactivate
the Start&Stop system and prevent the
engine from automatically stopping
before the battery is sufficiently
charged. Refer to “To deactivate”.
7. After the engine is started,
disconnect the cables in the reverse
order and keep the engine running for
several minutes.
NOTE If the vehicle is put in motion
without fully charging the battery, it
might cause the loss of the smooth
engine operation and the antilock brake
warning lamp to illuminate. Refer to
“Anti-lock brake system (ABS)”.
WARNING
267)To start the engine using jumper
cables from another vehicle, perform the
correct procedures according to the
instruction below. Incorrect procedures
could result in a fire or explosion or
damage to the vehicles.
268)Keep sparks, cigarettes and flames
away from the battery because the battery
may produce an explosion.
269)Do not attempt to start the engine by
pulling or pushing the vehicle. It could
damage your vehicle.
270)Check the other vehicle. It must have
a 12-volt battery. If the other system isn’t
12-volt, shorting can damage both
vehicles.
271)Use the proper cables suitable for the
battery size to prevent overheating of the
cables.
272)Check the jumper cables for damage
and corrosion before use.
273)Always wear protective eye goggles
when working near the battery.
274)Keep the battery out of the reach of
children.
275)Turn off the ignition on both vehicles
beforehand. Make sure that the cables or
your clothes cannot be caught by the fan
or drive belt. Personal injury could result.
276)If electrolyte fluid is not visible, or
appears to be frozen, Do Not Attempt
Jump Starting! A battery might rupture or
explode if the temperature is below the
freezing point or if it is not filled to the
proper level.

277)Electrolyte is corrosive diluted
sulphuric acid. If electrolyte (battery acid)
comes into contact with your hands, eyes,
clothes or the painted surface of your
vehicle, it should be thoroughly flushed
with water. If electrolyte gets in your eyes,
flush them with water immediately and
thoroughly, and get prompt medical
attention.
278)Make sure that the connection is
made to the appointed position (shown in
the illustration). If the connection is made
directly to the negative (−) side of the
battery, the inflammable gases generated
from the battery might catch fire and
explode.
279)When connecting the jumper cables,
do not connect the positive (+) cable to the
negative (−) terminal. Otherwise sparks
might cause explosion of the battery.
280)Use care not to get the jumper cable
caught in the cooling fan or other rotating
part in the engine compartment.
281)Keep the engine of the vehicle giving
assistance running.
282)Battery fluid is poisonous and
corrosive: avoid contact with your skin and
eyes. The battery should be charged in a
well ventilated place, away from naked
flames or possible sources of sparks:
danger of explosion and fire.
283)Do not attempt to charge a frozen
battery: it must be thawed first, otherwise it
may explode. If freezing has occurred, the
battery should be checked by skilled
personnel to make sure that the internal
elements are not damaged and that the
body is not cracked, with the risk of leaking
poisonous and corrosive acid.ENGINE
OVERHEATING
