TIRES
The front and rear tire pressure specifi-
cations for your vehicle are listed on the
Tire Information Label. Both the front and
rear tires should have the specified tire
pressure.
Note that the value does not apply to the
compact spare tire.
TIRE INSPECTION
Inspect your vehicle’s tires at least once
a month by performing the following
checks
❒Measure the air pressure with a tire
gauge. Adjust the pressure if necessary.
Remember to check the spare tire, too.
CLUTCH PEDAL
FLUID CONTROL CLUTCH
Check the clutch pedal for smooth oper-
ation and clutch fluid level from time to
time. If clutch dragging is felt with the ped-
al fully depressed, have the clutch in-
spected by your Fiat Dealership. If the
clutch fluid level is near the “MIN” line, fill
it up to the “MAX” line with TUTELA
TOP 4 SAE J1704 or DOT4 brake fluid.

❒Place the spare wheel near the wheel
being lifted as shown in the illustration
in case that the jack is slipped.
❒Position the jack vertically and raise the
jack by turning the jack handle clock-
wise until the jack head recess fits the
rod of the body.
❒Continue to raise the jack slowly and
smoothly until the tire clears the
ground. Do not raise the vehicle more
than necessary.
JACKING
INSTRUCTIONS
❒Place the vehicle on level, hard ground.
❒Set the parking brake firmly and shift in-
to “R” (Reverse) if your vehicle has a
manual transaxle.
79J016

– Be sure to shift into “R” (Re-
verse) in manual transaxle
when you jack up the vehicle.

transaxle in “N” (Neutral). Other-
wise, unstable jack may cause an ac-
cident.

❒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.

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.
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.
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.
IF THE STARTER DOES
NOT OPERATE
❒Try turning the ignition switch to the
“START” position with the headlights
turned on to determine the battery
condition. If the headlights go exces-
sively dim or go off, it usually means
that either the battery is flat or the bat-
tery terminal contact is poor. Recharge
the battery or correct battery terminal
contact as necessary.
❒If the headlights remain bright, check
the fuses. If the reason for failure of the
starter is not obvious, there may be a
major electrical problem. Have the ve-
hicle inspected by your authorized
Fiat Dealership.
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)
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.

When washing the vehicle, park it where
direct sunlight does not fall on it and fol-
low the instructions below:
Flush the underside of body and wheel
housings with pressurized water to remove
mud and debris. Use plenty of water.
IMPORTANT When washing the vehicle,
avoid directing steam or hot water of
more than 80°C (176°F) on plastic parts.
To avoid damaging engine components, do
not use pressurized water in the engine
compartment.Rinse the body to loosen the dirt. Remove
dirt and mud from the body exterior with
running water. You may use a soft sponge
or brush. Do not use hard materials which
can scratch the paint or plastic. Remem-
ber that the headlight covers or lenses are
made of plastic in many cases.
IMPORTANT To avoid damage to the
paint or plastic surface, do not wipe the
dirt off without ample water. Be sure to
follow above procedure.
Wash the entire exterior with a mild de-
tergent or vehicle wash soap using a
sponge or soft cloth. The sponge or cloth
should be frequently soaked in the soap
solution.
IMPORTANT When using a commercial
vehicle wash product, observe the cau-
tions specified by the manufacturer. Nev-
er use strong household detergents or
soaps.
– Never attempt to wash
and wax your vehicle with
the engine running.
– When cleaning the underside of the
body and fender, where there may
be sharp-edged parts, you should
wear gloves and a long sleeved shirt
to protect your hands and arms from
being cut.
– After washing your vehicle, care-
fully test the brakes before driving to
make sure they have maintained
their normal effectiveness.
