Batteries contain toxic sub-
stances including sulfuric
acid and lead. They could have po-
tential negative consequences for the
environment and human health. Used
battery must be disposed or recycled
according to the local law and must
not be discarded with ordinary house-
hold trash. Make sure not to tip over
the battery when you remove it from
the vehicle. Otherwise, sulfuric acid
could run out and you might get in-
jury.

REPLACEMENT
OF THE BATTERY
To remove the battery
❒ Disconnect the negative cable (1).
❒ Disconnect the positive cable (2).
❒ Remove the retainer bolt (3) and re-
move the retainer (4).
❒ Remove the battery.
To install the battery:
❒ Install the battery in the reverse order
of removal.
❒ Tighten the retainer bolt and battery
cables securely.5.Crossed-out wheeled bin symbol
6.Chemical symbol of “Pb”
The crossed-out wheeled bin symbol (5)
located on the battery label indicates that
used battery should be collected sepa-
rately from ordinary household trash. The
chemical symbol of “Pb” (6) indicates the
battery contains more than 0.004% lead.
By ensuring the used battery is disposed
or recycled correctly, you will help pre-
vent potential negative consequences for
the environment and human health, which
could otherwise be caused by inappropri-
ate trash handling of the battery. The re-
cycling of materials will help to conserve
natural resources. For more detailed in-
formation about disposing or recycling of
the used battery, consult your Fiat Deal-
ership. NOTE When the battery is disconnect-
ed, some of the vehicle’s function will be
initialized and/or deactivated.
These function are required to reset af-
ter the battery is reconnected.

FUSES IN THE ENGINE
COMPARTMENT
The main fuse, primary fuses and some of
the individual fuses are located in the en-
gine compartment. If the main fuse blows,
no electrical component will function. If
a primary fuse blows, no electrical com-
ponent in the corresponding load group
will function. When replacing the main
fuse, a primary fuse or an individual fuse,
use a genuine Fiat replacement.
60G111
OK
BLOWN
If the main fuse or a primary
fuse blows, be sure to have
your vehicle inspected by an autho-
rized Fiat Dealership. Always use a
genuine Fiat replacement. Never use
a substitute such as a wire even for a
temporary repair, or extensive elec-
trical damage and a fire can result.
WARNING
FUSES
Your vehicle has three types of fuses, as
described below:
Main fuse
The main fuse takes current directly from
the battery.
Primary fuses
These fuses are between the main fuse and
individual fuses, and are for electrical load
groups.
Individual fuses
These fuses are for individual electrical cir-
cuits.
To remove a fuse, use the fuse puller pro-
vided in the fuse box. The amperage of
each fuse is shown in the back of the fuse
box cover.
63J095
NOTE Make sure that the fuse box always
carries spare fuses.

❒If the new blade is provided without the
two metal retainers, move them from
the old blade to the new one.
❒Install the new blade in the reverse or-
der of removal.
IMPORTANT Make sure the blade is
properly retained by all the hooks.

verse order of removal.
AIR CONDITIONING
SYSTEM
If you do not use the air conditioner for
a long period, such as during winter, it may
not give the best performance when you
start using it again. To help maintain op-
timum performance and durability of your
air conditioner, it needs to be run peri-
odically.Operate the air conditioner at least once
a month for one minute with the engine
idling. This circulates the refrigerant and
oil and helps protect the internal compo-
nents.

JUMP STARTING
INSTRUCTIONS
– Use the jack only to change
wheels on level, hard ground.
– Never jack up the vehicle on an in-
clined surface.
– Never raise the vehicle with the jack
in a location other than between the
frame bosses near the wheel to be
changed.
– Make sure that the jack is raised at
least 51 mm (2 inches) before it con-
tacts the flange. Use of the jack when
it is within 51 mm (2 inches) of being
fully collapsed may result in failure of
the jack.
– Never get under the vehicle when it
is supported by the jack.
– Never run the engine when the ve-
hicle is supported by the jack and
never allow passengers to remain in
the vehicle.
WARNING

Front wheel
Rear wheel
– Never attempt to jump
start your vehicle if the bat-
tery appears to be frozen. Batteries
in this condition may explode or rup-
ture if jump starting is attempted.
– When making jump lead connec-
tions, be certain that your hands and
the jump leads remain clear from pul-
leys, belts, or fans.
– Batteries produce flammable hy-
drogen gas. Keep flames and sparks
away from the battery or an explo-
sion may occur. Never smoke when
working in the vicinity of the battery.
– If the booster battery you use for
jump starting is installed in another
vehicle, make sure the two vehicles
are not touching each other.
– If your battery discharges repeat-
edly, for no apparent reason, have
your vehicle inspected by an autho-
rized Fiat Dealership.

❒Turn off all vehicle accessories, except
those necessary for safety reasons (for
example, headlights or hazard lights).
❒Make jump lead connections as follows:
– Connect one end of the first jump
lead to the positive (+) terminal of
the flat battery (1).
– Connect the other end to the posi-
tive (+) terminal of the booster bat-
tery (2).
– Connect one end of the second jump
lead to the negative (–) terminal of
the booster battery (2).
– Make the final connection to an un-
painted, heavy metal part (i. e. engine
hook (3)) of the engine of the vehi-
cle with the flat battery (1).
❒If the booster battery you are using is
fitted to another vehicle, start the en-
gine of the vehicle with the booster bat-
tery. Run the engine at moderate
speed.
❒Start the engine of the vehicle with the
flat battery.
❒Remove the jump leads in the exact re-
verse order in which you connected
them. IMPORTANT Your vehicle should not be
started by pushing or towing. This start-
ing method could result in permanent
damage to the catalytic converter. Use
jump leads to start a vehicle with a weak
or flat battery.
WHEN JUMP STARTING YOUR
VEHICLE, USE THE
FOLLOWING PROCEDURE
❒Use only a 12 volt battery to jump start
your vehicle. Position the good 12 V
battery close to your vehicle so that the
jump leads will reach both batteries.
When using a battery installed on an-
other vehicle, DO NOT LET THE VE-
HICLES TOUCH. Set the parking
brakes fully on both vehicles.
– To avoid harm to yourself
or damage to your vehicle or
battery, follow the jump starting in-
structions below precisely and in order.
If you are in doubt, call for qualified
road service.
WARNING

Never connect the jump lead
directly to the negative (–)
terminal of the discharged battery, or
an explosion may occur.

2-WHEEL DRIVE (2WD)
MANUAL TRANSAXLE
Manual transaxle vehicles may be towed
using either of the following methods.
❒From the front, with the front wheels
lifted and the rear wheels on the
ground. Before towing, make sure that
the parking brake is released.
❒From the rear, with the rear wheels lift-
ed and the front wheels on the ground,
provided the steering and drivetrain are
in operational condition. Before tow-
ing, make sure that transaxle is in neu-
tral, the steering wheel is unlocked (the
ignition key should be in the “ACC” po-
sition), and the steering wheel is se-
cured with a clamping device designed
for towing service.
IMPORTANT The steering column is not
strong enough to withstand shocks trans-
mitted from the front wheels during tow-
ing. Always unlock the steering wheel be-
fore towing.
TOWING
If you need to have your vehicle towed,
contact a professional service. Your deal-
er can provide you with detailed towing
instructions.
IMPORTANT To help avoid damage to
your vehicle during towing, proper equip-
ment and towing procedures must be
used.
2- WHEEL DRIVE (2WD)
AUTOMATIC TRANSAXLE
Automatic transaxle vehicles may be
towed using either of the following meth-
ods.
❒From the front, with the front wheels
lifted and the rear wheels on the
ground. Before towing, make sure that
the parking brake is released.
❒From the rear, with the rear wheels lift-
ed and a dolly under the front wheels.
IMPORTANT Towing your vehicle with
the front wheels on the ground can result
in damage to the automatic transaxle.4-WHEEL DRIVE (4WD)
Your vehicle should be towed under one
of the following conditions:
❒With all four wheels on a flat-bed truck.
❒With the front or rear wheels lifted and
a dolly under the other wheels.
❒If you can shift the 2WD/4WD switch
to the “2WD” mode, and if the steer-
ing and drive train are in good condi-
tion and the engine can be started, the
vehicle may also be towed according to
the instructions in the “Towing Your
Vehicle (recreational towing)” section.
IMPORTANT Towing your vehicle with
front and/or rear wheels on the ground
can result in damage to the automatic
transaxle and/or the 4WD drive system.
