HOW THE ABS WORKS
A computer continuously monitors wheel
speed. The computer compares the
changes in wheel speed when braking. If
the wheels slow suddenly, indicating a
skidding situation, the computer will
change braking pressure several times
each second to prevent the wheels from
locking. When you start your vehicle af-
ter a stop you may hear a momentary mo-
tor noise as the system checks itself.
The ABS may not work
properly if tires or wheels
other than those specified in the own-
er’s manual are used. This is because
the ABS works by comparing changes
in wheel speed. When replacing tires
or wheels, use only the size and type
specified in this owner’s manual.
WARNING
ELECTRONIC STABILITY
PROGRAM (ESP®)
(if equipped)
ESP®is a registered trademark of Daim-
lerChrysler AG.
The Electronic Stability Program (ESP
®)
helps to control the vehicle during cor-
nering if the vehicle is understeering or
oversteering. It also assists you in main-
taining traction while accelerating on loose
or slippery road surfaces. It does this by
regulating the engine’s output, and by se-
lectively applying the brakes. In addition,
ESP
®helps to avoid skidding by controlling
braking pressure.
The ESP®cannot enhance
the vehicle’s driving stabili-
ty in all situations and does not con-
trol your vehicle’s entire braking sys-
tem. The ESP
®cannot prevent acci-
dents, including those resulting from
excessive speed in turns, or hy-
droplaning. Only a safe and attentive
driver can prevent accidents. The ca-
pabilities of an ESP
®- equipped ve-
hicle must never be used as a substi-
tute for careful driving.
WARNING
The ESP®has the following three systems:
STABILITY CONTROL SYSTEM
The vehicle stability control system helps
provide integrated control of systems such
as anti- lock brakes, traction control, en-
gine control, etc. This system automati-
cally controls the brakes and engine to
help prevent the vehicle from skidding
when cornering on a slippery road surface
or when turning the steering wheel
abruptly.
TRACTION CONTROL SYSTEM
The traction control system automatical-
ly helps prevent the spinning of wheels
when the vehicle is started or accelerated
on slippery road surfaces. The system op-
erates only if it senses that some of the
wheels are spinning or beginning to lose
traction. When this happens, the system
operates the front or rear brakes and re-
duces engine power to limit wheel spin.
NOTE You may hear a clicking sound in
the engine compartment for a few seconds
when you start the engine or just after the
vehicle begins to move. This means that
the above systems are in the self-check
mode. This sound does not indicate a mal-
function.

WARNING
For Petrol Engine Model
Make sure the drive belt tension is cor-
rect. If the belt is too loose, insufficient
battery charging, engine overheating, poor
power steering, poor air conditioning, or
excessive belt wear can result. When you
press the belt with your thumb midway
between the pulleys, there should be a de-
flection according to the following chart.
The belts should also be examined to en-
sure that they are not damaged.
If you need to replace or adjust the belt
have it done by your Fiat Dealership.
For Diesel Engine Model
The drive belts tension is adjusted auto-
matically.

COOLANT REPLACEMENT
79J007
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 Petrol 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.
❒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.
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.

❒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
(1)
(3)
(2)
54G079
Never connect the jump lead
directly to the negative (–)
terminal of the discharged battery, or
an explosion may occur.
