dicator light (1) (for versions/markets,
where provided) comes on, overheating
is indicated. Follow the instructions for en-
gine overheating in the “EMERGENCY
SERVICE” section.

hicle when engine overheating is indicat-
ed can result in severe engine damage.

NOTE When you reconnect the negative
(–) terminal to the battery, the unit of
temperature will be reinitialized. Change
the unit again to your preference.
Oil life monitoring
The oil life monitoring indicates the re-
maining distance until the next timing to
change the engine oil and oil filter. When
the remaining distance become close to
0 km, you should change the engine oil and
oil filter immediately. The oil service light
in the instrument cluster may also come
on to let you know that you should change
the engine oil and oil filter immediately.
For details on how to change the engine
oil and oil filter, refer to “Changing Engine
Oil and Filter” in the “INSPECTION AND
MAINTENANCE” section.Whenever the engine oil and oil filter are
changed, the oil life monitoring must be
reset to monitor the next oil and oil fil-
ter change timing properly. To reset the
indicator, consult your Fiat Dealership.
When the oil life monitoring is reset, the
oil life monitoring indicates the remain-
ing distance until the next timing to change
engine oil and filter. If the oil service light
was on, it will go out.
IMPORTANT Change the engine oil and
filter immediately when the remaining dis-
tance of the oil life monitoring indication
becomes close to 0 km. If you keep op-
erating the engine with the indication
shows 0 km, severe engine damage can re-
sult.
NOTE If the vehicle is usually used under
severe driving conditions, the engine oil
and oil filter should be changed more fre-
quently regardless the oil life monitoring.
Refer to “Maintenance recommended un-
der severe driving condition” in the “IN-
SPECTION AND MAINTENANCE” sec-
tion.Transaxle selector position

IMPORTANT Replacing the original tires
with tires of a different size may result in
false speedometer or odometer readings.
Check with your Fiat Dealership before
purchasing replacement tires that differ in
size from the original tires.
IMPORTANT For 4-wheel drive (4WD)
models, replacing a tire with one of a dif-
ferent size, or using different brands
among the four tires can result in dam-
age to the drive train.
TIRE ROTATION
To avoid uneven wear of your tires and to
prolong their life, rotate the tires as illus-
trated. Tires should be rotated every
10,000 km (6,000 miles). After rotation,
adjust front and rear tire pressures to the
specification listed on your vehicle’s Tire
Information Label.
– Your Fiat is equipped with
tires which are all the same
type and size. This is important to en-
sure proper steering and handling of
the vehicle. Never mix tires of differ-
ent size or type on the four wheels of
your vehicle. The size and type of
tires used should be only those ap-
proved by Fiat as standard or op-
tional equipment for your vehicle.
– Replacing the wheels and tires
equipped on your vehicle with certain
combinations of aftermarket wheels
and tires can significantly change the
steering and handling characteristics
of your vehicle.
– Therefore, use only those wheel and
tire combinations approved by Fiat as
standard or optional equipment for
your vehicle.
