INSTALLATION OF
RADIO FREQUENCY
TRANSMITTERS
We recommend that you always ask a FI-
AT Dealership about frequency band, max
output power, antenna position at vehicle
and specific conditions for installation
and/or use before installing a radio trans-
mitter in your vehicle. Such equipments
may cause the electronic control system
to malfunction if they are incorrectly in-
stalled or they are not suited for the ve-
hicle.
RADIO ANTENNA
(for versions/markets, where provided)
The radio antenna at the front of the roof
can be folded down and is removable. To
fold the antenna rearward, be sure to grip
the bottom of antenna. To remove the an-
tenna, turn it counterclockwise. To rein-
stall the antenna, turn it clockwise firmly
by hand.
IMPORTANT To avoid damage to the ra-
dio antenna:
Remove the antenna when using an au-
tomatic vehicle wash.
Remove or fold down the antenna
when the antenna hits anything such as
a low ceiling in a parking garage or
putting a vehicle cover over your ve-
hicle.

ROOF RAILS OR ROOF
RACK ANCHORS
(for versions/markets, where provided)
You can use the roof rails to attach the
optional roof rack which is available at
your Fiat Dealership. If you use a roof
rack, observe the instructions and pre-
cautions in this section and provided with
the roof rack.
Make sure the roof rack is securely in-
stalled.
To mount various types of cargo (such
as skis, bicycles, etc.) properly, use suit-
able attachments which are available
from your Fiat Dealership. Be sure to
install the attachments properly and se-
curely according to the instructions
provided. Do not mount cargo direct-
ly on the roof panel. The cargo can
damage the roof panel.
The gross weight of the roof rack plus
cargo must not exceed the loading ca-
pacity (50 kg -110 lbs). Also, do not let
the gross vehicle weight (fully loaded
vehicle including driver, passengers, car-
go, roof load and trailer tongue weight)
exceed the Gross Vehicle Weight Rat-
ing (GVWR) listed in the “SPECIFICA-
TIONS” section of this manual.

ADDING COOLANT
Engine coolant is harmful or
fatal if swallowed or inhaled.
Do not drink antifreeze or coolant so-
lution. If swallowed, do not induce
vomiting. Immediately contact a poi-
son control center or a physician.
Avoid inhaling mist or hot vapors; if
inhaled, remove to fresh air. If
coolant gets in eyes, flush eyes with
water and seek medical attention.
Wash thoroughly after handling. So-
lution can be poisonous to animals.
Keep out of the reach of children and
animals.
WARNINGIMPORTANT
❒The mixture you use should contain
50% concentration of antifreeze.
❒If the lowest ambient temperature in
your area is expected to be –35°C
(–31°F) or below, use higher concen-
trations up to 60% following the in-
structions on the antifreeze container.
❒When putting the cap on the reservoir
tank, line up the arrow on the cap and
the arrow on the tank. Failure to follow
this can result in coolant leakage.
If the coolant level is below the “LOW”
mark, more coolant should be added.
When the engine is cool, remove the de-
gassing tank cap by turning it anticlock-
wise slowly to release any pressure. And
add coolant until the degassing tank level
reaches the “FULL” mark. Never fill the
degassing tank above the “FULL” mark.
It is hazardous to remove the
degassing tank cap for Diesel
engine when the water temperature
is high, because scalding fluid and
steam may be blown out under pres-
sure. Wait until the coolant temper-
ature has lowered before removing
the cap.

It is hazardous to remove the
radiator cap when the water
temperature is high, because scalding
fluid and steam may be blown out un-
der pressure. Wait until the coolant
temperature has lowered before re-
moving the cap.
WARNING
For Gasoline Engine Model
❒When the engine is cool, remove the
radiator cap by turning it slowly to the
left until a “stop” is felt. Do not press
down while turning the cap. Wait until
any pressure is released, then press
down on the cap and continue turning
it anticlockwise.For Diesel Engine Model
Since special procedures are required, we
recommend you take your vehicle to your
Fiat Dealership for coolant replacement.
❒Remove the reservoir by lifting it up,
and drain the reservoir completely.
❒Loosen the drain plug attached to the
lower part of the radiator and drain the
coolant into a suitable container.
❒Reinstall the reservoir and fill it with
coolant to the “FULL” line.
❒Tighten the drain plug on the radiator.
❒Fill the radiator with coolant and install
the radiator cap.
❒After filling, let the engine idle for about
2–3 minutes to get rid of air in the cool-
ing system.
❒Stop the engine.
❒Check the coolant level in the radiator
again. If the level has gone down, add
more coolant.
IMPORTANT The coolant must be re-
placed with the vehicle on level ground.
