This position ensures optimum use on
crumbly terrain (sane, mud, dry leaves,
etc.). In this position, the driver is
responsible for controlling the engine
speed. The system automatically
moves to "Road" mode after 50 km/h
and the indicator light
on the
instrument panel turns off.
HILL HOLDER STARTING
ON AN INCLINE
ASSISTANCE
148)
Depending on the steepness, the
system helps the driver when
confronting an incline. It inhibits going
backwards, depending on the
steepness, intervening on the brakes
when the driver lifts his foot off the
brake to use the accelerator.
System operation
It only functions when the gear lever is
not in idle and when the vehicle is
completely stopped (brake pedal
pressure).
WARNING
142)The brakes still work. However, abrupt
braking is dangerous, and for this reason
you need to stop immediately when traffic
allows. Contact a Fiat Dealership.
143)The ABS cannot prevent accidents,
including those due to excessive speed on
corners, driving on low-grip surfaces or
aquaplaning.144)The capability of the ABS must never
be tested irresponsibly and dangerously, in
such a way as to compromise personal
safety and the safety of others.
145)For the correct operation of the ABS,
the tyres must of necessity be the same
make and type on all wheels, in perfect
condition and, above all, of the prescribed
type and dimensions.
146)The ESC system cannot alter the
natural laws of physics, and cannot
increase grip, which depends on the
condition of the road.
147)These functions constitute an
additional contribution to safety in critical
driving conditions, allowing the driver to
adapt the vehicle's behaviour to the
trajectory set by the driver. These functions
do not intervene in the driver's place nor
do they allow the driver to ignore the
vehicle driving limits, encouraging faster
driving. As a result, they never replace the
driver's attention and liability when
manoeuvring the vehicle (the driver must
always pay close attention to unexpected
situations that can occur while driving).
148)The hill start system may not prevent
the vehicle from rolling back completely in
all cases (steep slope, etc.). However, the
driver can operate the brake pedal to stop
the vehicle from rolling back. Assisted
departure up a hill cannot be used for
prolonged stops: use the brake pedal. This
function was not designed to immobilise
the vehicle permanently. If necessary, use
the brake pedal to stop the vehicle. The
driver must be especially careful of slippery
surfaces or surfaces with poor grip. Danger
of serious injury.
IMPORTANT
23)When replacement is needed, only
tyres of the same brand, size, type and
structure can be mounted on the vehicle.
They need to be identical to the original
equipment, or correspond to those
recommended by Fiat Dealerships.

Replacing a wheel
Undo the wheel nuts with wrench 1
fig. 263.
Position the jack 2 fig. 264 horizontally
so that its head 3 fig. 264 coincides
with the hole under the chassis nearest
to the wheel concerned.
Start raising the jack to rest the base
correctly (it should be slightly under the
vehicle and aligned with the jack head).
Undo the nuts and remove the tyre.
Position the spare tyre in the centre of
the hub.
Tighten the nuts and lower the jack.
When the tyre is on the ground, tighten
the screws hard and check their
tightness as soon as possible.IMPORTANT If you are using
tamper-proof screws, position them as
close as possible to the valve (it could
be impossible to fit the wheel plate).
WARNING
178)Activate hazard warning lights Park
the vehicle far from traffic on level, resistant
and not slippery ground. Pull up the
handbrake and engage a gear. Get all the
occupants out of the car and far from
traffic.
179)It is extremely dangerous to attempt
to change a wheel on the side of the
vehicle next to the driving lane: make sure
that the vehicle is at a sufficient distance
from the road, to avoid being run over.
180)Use your hazard lights, warning
triangle, etc to show that your vehicle is
stationary. Passengers should get out of
the vehicle, particularly if it is heavily
loaded, and wait for the wheel to be
changed away from the traffic.181)The spare tyre is not the same size as
the other four. Never fit more than one
spare tyre on the same vehicle. The
standard wheel is larger than the spare
wheel, so the vehicle will be lower. Replace
the spare tyre as soon as possible with a
tyre identical to the original. While in use,
which has to be temporary, your speed
should not exceed that indicated on the
wheel's label. If you have to use snow
chains, fit the spare tyre on the rear axle
and check the tyre pressures. Fitting this
tyre can alter the vehicle's normal
behaviour. Avoid accelerating or braking
abruptly and lower your speed on curves.
182)If snow chains must be used and a
front tyre is punctured, fit the spare wheel
on the rear axle and check inflation
pressure. Snow chains cannot be fitted on
the spare wheel.
183)Never leave tools haphazardly in the
vehicle: if you brake suddenly, they could
scatter around the floorboards, causing a
hazard to the occupants. After use, be sure
to fasten the tools in the tool bag, then
place it correctly in its position: risk of
injuries. The jack must only be used for
changing a wheel. It should never be used
to raise the vehicle to perform a repair
underneath.
184)There should be no objects at the
driver's feet: in case of sharp braking, they
could slide under the pedals, preventing
their correct use.

SUGGESTIONS ABOUT
THE ROTATION OF THE
TYRES
We advise you not to do this kind of
operation.
WINTER USE
55) 56) 57) 58)
Chains
For safety reasons, mounting snow
chains on the rear axle is prohibited.
The use of larger sized tyres than the
original ones makes fitting chains
impossible.Snow tyres
We advise you to fit all four wheels to
guarantee the best vehicle traction
possible.
IMPORTANT These tyres sometimes
mean a direction and maximum speed
that could be less than maximum
vehicle speed.
Studded tyres
(For versions/markets where provided)
This type of tyre can only be used for a
limited time determined by local laws.
You need to respect the speed limits
imposed by local laws in effect.
These tyres can be fitted on at least
both front wheels.
In any case, it is advisable to
contact a Fiat Dealership.
WARNING
220)Insufficient pressure can cause the
tyres to wear early and heat up abnormally,
with obvious consequences for safety;
poor road grip, risk of blow-out or treads
detaching. Inflation pressure depends on
the load and the speed. Adjust the
pressure according to the conditions of
use (see the label located on the inside of
the driver's door pillar).

221)For safety reasons, only a specialised
technician should carry out this operation.
Fitting a different type of tyre can alter the
vehicle's compliance with the regulations in
force, cornering performance, steering and
fitting snow chains.
222)For safety and to respect legislation in
force, when replacement is necessary, you
must only fit the same brand, size, type
and structure tyres on the same axles.
They have to have a load and speed
capacity that is at least identical to the
original tyres, or they correspond to those
recommended by a Fiat Dealership. Failure
to observe these instructions can
compromise safety and vehicle
compliance. Risk of losing control of the
vehicle.
223)If the tyres are "unidirectional", do not
switch tyres from the right-hand side of the
vehicle to the left-hand side, and vice
versa. This type of tyres can only be
switched from the front axle to the rear axle
and vice versa, keeping them on the same
side of the vehicle.
224)Never submit alloy rims to repainting
treatments requiring the use of
temperatures exceeding 150°C. The
mechanical properties of the wheels could
be impaired.
IMPORTANT
53)Some driving accidents, such as
"hitting the curbstone" can damage the
tyres and change the front or rear end
adjustments. In that case, have them
checked by a Fiat Dealership.54)Caution, a missing or badly screwed on
valve cap could impact the tyre's grip and
cause a loss of pressure. Always use valve
caps that are identical to the original ones
and make sure that they are screwed on
fully.
55)Snow chains cannot be fitted with 17”
tyres, you must obtain specific equipment
from the Fiat Dealership.
56)Snow chains can only be fit on tyres of
the same dimensions as those originally on
the vehicle.
57)If you want to fit chains, you must
obtain specific ones. Consult a Fiat
Dealership.
58)Keep your speed down when snow
chains are fitted; do not exceed 50 km/h.
Avoid potholes, do not drive over steps or
pavements, and do not drive long
distances over roads without snow, to
avoid damaging both your vehicle and the
road surface.
WINDSCREEN/REAR
WINDOW WIPER
WIPER BLADES
IMPORTANT Check the status of the
wiper blades. Their duraton depends on
proper maintenance:
clean both windscreen and rear
window wipers regularly with soapy
water;
do not use them when the
windscreen and rear window are dry;
detach them from the windscreen or
rear window if they have not been used
for a long time.
59) 60) 61)
Replacing wiper blades with the
starter device inserted, engine
stopped:
completely lower the wiper arm;
lift up the wiper arms 1 and 2
