Tire Chains (Traction Devices)
Use of traction devices require sufficient
tire-to-body clearance. Follow these recom-
mendations to guard against damage:
Traction device must be of proper size for
the tire, as recommended by the traction
device manufacturer.
Install on front tires only.
For a 215/65R16 tire, use of a snow trac-
tion device with a maximum projection of
7 mm beyond the tire profile is recom -
mended.
No other tire sizes are recommended for
use with a tire chain or traction device.
NOTE:
Any aftermarket tire add on like tire chains
may effect the Tire Pressure Monitoring
System (TPMS) feature performance.
Tire Rotation Recommendations
The tires on the front and rear of your vehicle
operate at different loads and perform
different steering, handling, and braking
functions. For these reasons, they wear at
unequal rates.
These effects can be reduced by timely rota -
tion of tires. The benefits of rotation are
especially worthwhile with aggressive tread
designs such as those on On/Off Road type
tires. Rotation will increase tread life, help to
maintain mud, snow, and wet traction levels,
and contribute to a smooth, quiet ride.
Refer to the “Maintenance Plan” for the
proper maintenance intervals. The reasons
for any rapid or unusual wear should be
corrected prior to rotation being performed.
WARNING!
Using tires of different size and type
(M+S, Snow) between front and rear axles
can cause unpredictable handling. You
could lose control and have a collision.
CAUTION!
To avoid damage to your vehicle or tires,
observe the following precautions:
Because of restricted traction device
clearance between tires and other
suspension components, it is important
that only traction devices in good condi -
tion are used. Broken devices can cause
serious damage. Stop the vehicle imme-
diately if noise occurs that could indi -
cate device breakage. Remove the
damaged parts of the device before
further use.
Install device as tightly as possible and
then retighten after driving about ½ mile
(0.8 km).
Do not exceed 30 mph (48 km/h).
Drive cautiously and avoid severe turns
and large bumps, especially with a
loaded vehicle.
Do not drive for a prolonged period on
dry pavement.
Observe the traction device manufacturer’s
instructions on the method of installation,
operating speed, and conditions for use.
Always use the suggested operating speed
of the device manufacturer’s if it is less
than 30 mph (48 km/h).
Do not use traction devices on a compact
spare tire.
CAUTION! (Continued)

NOTE:
When the vehicle has not been started or driven
for at least 30 days, an Extended Park Start
Procedure is required to start the vehicle.
Refer to “Starting The Engine” in “Starting
And Operating” for further information.
BODYWORK
Preserving The Bodywork
Washing
Wash your vehicle regularly. Always wash
your vehicle in the shade using a mild car
wash soap, and rinse the panels
completely with clear water.
If insects, tar, or other similar deposits
have accumulated on your vehicle, use a
specific detergent to remove.
Use a high quality cleaner wax to remove
road film, stains and to protect your paint
finish. Take care never to scratch the
paint.
Avoid using abrasive compounds and
power buffing that may diminish the gloss
or thin out the paint finish.
Special Care
If you drive on salted or dusty roads or if
you drive near the ocean, hose off the
undercarriage at least once a month.
It is important that the drain holes in the
lower edges of the doors, rocker panels,
and trunk be kept clear and open.
If you detect any stone chips or scratches
in the paint, touch them up immediately.
The cost of such repairs is considered the
responsibility of the owner.
If your vehicle is damaged due to a colli-
sion or similar cause that destroys the
paint and protective coating, have your
vehicle repaired as soon as possible. The
cost of such repairs is considered the
responsibility of the owner.
If you carry special cargo such as chemi -
cals, fertilizers, de-icer salt, etc., be sure
that such materials are well packaged and
sealed.
If a lot of driving is done on gravel roads,
consider mud or stone shields behind
each wheel.
Touch up the scratches as soon as
possible. An authorized dealer has touch
up paint to match the color of your vehicle.
Some parts of the vehicle may be painted
with a matte paintwork which requires
special care for its preservation
CAUTION!
Before removal of the positive and
negative terminals to the battery, wait at
least a minute with ignition switch in the
OFF position and close the driver’s door.
When reconnecting the positive and
negative terminals to the battery be sure
the ignition switch is in the OFF position
and the driver’s door is closed. CAUTION!
Do not use abrasive or strong cleaning
materials such as steel wool or scouring
powder that will scratch metal and
painted surfaces.
Use of power washers exceeding 1,200
psi (8,274 kPa) can result in damage or
removal of paint and decals.

INTERIORS
Seats And Fabric Parts
Use a specific product to clean fabric uphol-
stery and carpeting.
Stain Repel Fabric Cleaning Procedure — If
Equipped
Stain Repel seats may be cleaned in the
following manner:
Remove as much of the stain as possible
by blotting with a clean, dry towel.
Blot any remaining stain with a clean,
damp towel.
For tough stains, apply a mild soap solu -
tion to a clean, damp cloth and remove
stain. Use a fresh, damp towel to remove
soap residue.
For grease stains, apply a specific product to
a clean, damp cloth and remove stain. Use a
fresh, damp towel to remove soap residue.
Do not use any harsh solvents or any other
form of protectants on Stain Repel products.
Seat Belt Maintenance
Do not bleach, dye or clean the belts with
chemical solvents or abrasive cleaners. This
will weaken the fabric. Sun damage can also
weaken the fabric.
If the belts need cleaning, use a mild soap
solution or lukewarm water. Do not remove
the belts from the vehicle to wash them. Dry
with a soft cloth.
Replace the belts if they appear frayed or
worn or if the buckles do not work properly.
CAUTION!
Avoid washing with rollers and/or brushes
in washing stations. Wash the vehicle only
by hand using neutral pH detergents; dry it
with a wet chamois leather. Abrasive
products and/or polishes should not be
used for cleaning the car. Bird droppings
must be washed off immediately and
thoroughly as the acid they contain is
particularly aggressive. Avoid (if at all
possible) parking the vehicle under trees;
remove vegetable resins immediately as,
when dried, it may only be possible to
remove them with abrasive products and/or
polishes, which is highly inadvisable as
they could alter the typical opaqueness of
the paint. Do not use pure windshield
washer fluid for cleaning the front
windshield and rear window; dilute it min.
50% with water. Only use pure windshield
washer fluid when strictly necessary due to
outside temperature conditions.
WARNING!
Do not use volatile solvents for cleaning
purposes. Many are potentially flammable,
and if used in closed areas they may cause
respiratory harm.
WARNING!
A frayed or torn belt could rip apart in a
collision and leave you with no protection.
Inspect the belt system periodically, checking
for cuts, frays, or loose parts. Damaged parts
must be replaced immediately. Do not
disassemble or modify the system. Seat belt
assemblies must be replaced after a collision
if they have been damaged (i.e., bent
retractor, torn webbing, etc.).

Fuel System CautionsNOTE:
Intentional tampering with the emissions
control system can result in civil penalties
being assessed against you.
Carbon Monoxide Warnings
FUEL REQUIREMENTS —
DIESEL ENGINE
Diesel Engine
Use good quality diesel fuel from a reputable
supplier. If the outside temperature is very
low, the diesel fuel thickens due to the
formation of paraffin clots with consequent
defective operation of the fuel supply
system.
In order to avoid these problems different
types of fuel are distributed according to the
season: summer type, winter type and arctic
type (cold/mountain areas). If fueling with
diesel fuel whose features are not suitable
for the temperature of use, it is advisable to
mix in a suitable additive with the fuel. With
the proportions shown on the container, pour
the additive in the tank before fueling.
When using or parking the vehicle for a long
time in the mountains or cold areas, it is
advisable to refuel using locally available
fuel. In this case, it is also advisable to keep
the tank over half full.
CAUTION!
Follow these guidelines to maintain your
vehicle’s performance:
The use of leaded gasoline is prohibited
by law. Using leaded gasoline can impair
engine performance and damage the
emissions control system.
An out-of-tune engine or certain fuel or
ignition malfunctions can cause the
catalytic converter to overheat. If you
notice a pungent burning odor or some
light smoke, your engine may be out of
tune or malfunctioning and may require
immediate service. Contact an autho-
rized dealer for service assistance.
The use of fuel additives, which are now
being sold as octane enhancers, is not
recommended. Most of these products
contain high concentrations of meth-
anol. Fuel system damage or vehicle
performance problems resulting from the
use of such fuels or additives is not the
responsibility of the manufacturer and
may void or not be covered under the
New Vehicle Limited Warranty.
WARNING!
Carbon monoxide (CO) in exhaust gases is
deadly. Follow the precautions below to
prevent carbon monoxide poisoning:
Do not inhale exhaust gases. They
contain carbon monoxide, a colorless
and odorless gas, which can kill. Never
run the engine in a closed area, such as
a garage, and never sit in a parked
vehicle with the engine running for an
extended period. If the vehicle is
stopped in an open area with the engine
running for more than a short period,
adjust the ventilation system to force
fresh, outside air into the vehicle.
Guard against carbon monoxide with
proper maintenance. Have the exhaust
system inspected every time the vehicle
is raised. Have any abnormal conditions
repaired promptly. Until repaired, drive
with all side windows fully open.

CAUTION!
Mixing of engine coolant (antifreeze)
other than specified Organic Additive
Technology (OAT) engine coolant (anti -
freeze), may result in engine damage
and may decrease corrosion protection.
Organic Additive Technology (OAT)
engine coolant is different and should
not be mixed with Hybrid Organic Addi -
tive Technology (HOAT) engine coolant
(antifreeze) or any “globally compatible”
coolant (antifreeze). If a non-OAT engine
coolant (antifreeze) is introduced into
the cooling system in an emergency, the
cooling system will need to be drained,
flushed, and refilled with fresh OAT
coolant (conforming to MS.90032), by
an authorized dealer as soon as possible.Do not use water alone or alcohol-based
engine coolant (antifreeze) products. Do
not use additional rust inhibitors or anti -
rust products, as they may not be
compatible with the radiator engine
coolant and may plug the radiator.
This vehicle has not been designed for
use with propylene glycol-based engine
coolant (antifreeze). Use of propylene
glycol-based engine coolant (antifreeze)
is not recommended.
The use of products with different spec-
ifications than those indicated above
could cause damage to the engine that is
not covered by the warranty.
CAUTION! (Continued)
Use AdBlue® only according to DIN 70
070 and ISO 22241-1. Other fluids may
cause damage to the system: also
exhaust emissions would no longer
comply with the law.
The distribution companies are respon -
sible for the compliance of their product.
Observe the precautions of storage and
servicing, in order to preserve the initial
qualities. The manufacturer of the
vehicle does not recognize any guarantee
in case of malfunctions and damage
caused to the vehicle due to the use of
AdBlue® not in accordance with regula-
tions.
