2008 FIAT SEDICI ignition

660B128
You should take extreme
care when working on your
vehicle to prevent accidental injury.
Here are a few precautions that you
should be especially careful to ob-
serve:
– To prevent damage or unintended
activation of the air bag system or
seat belt pretensioner system, be sure
the battery is disconnected and the
ignition switch has been in the
“LOCK” position for at least 90 sec-
onds before performing any electrical
service work on your Fiat. Do not
touch air bag system components,
seat belt pretensioner system com-
ponents or wires.
The wires are wrapped with yellow
tape or yellow tubing, and the cou-
plers are yellow for easy identifica-
tion.
– Do not leave the engine running in
garages or other confined areas.
WARNING
– When the engine is run-
ning, keep hands, clothing,
tools, and other objects away from
the fan and drive belt. Even though
the fan may not be moving, it can au-
tomatically turn on without warning.
– When it is necessary to do service
work with the engine running, make
sure that the parking brake is set ful-
ly and the transaxle is in Neutral (for
manual transaxle vehicles) or Park
(for automatic transaxle vehicles).
– Do not touch ignition wires or oth-
er ignition system parts when starting
the engine or when the engine is run-
ning, or you could receive an electric
shock.
– Be careful not to touch a hot en-
gine, exhaust manifold and pipes,
muffler, radiator and water hoses.
– Do not allow smoking, sparks, or
flames around gasoline or the bat-
tery. Flammable fumes are present.
– Do not get under your vehicle if it is
supported only with the portable jack
provided in your vehicle.
WARNING
– Be careful not to cause ac-
cidental short circuits be-
tween the positive and negative bat-
tery terminals.
– Keep used oil, coolant, and other
fluids away from children and pets.
Dispose of used fluids properly; nev-
er pour them on the ground, into sew-
ers, etc.

NOTE If your engine is equipped with the
hightension cord type ignition wiring and
you experience some firing problem of
spark plugs, such as, hard engine- starting,
misfire etc., the cause may be located not
only on spark plugs but also on deterio-
rated ignition wirings (generally, used for
more than 80000 km or five years). If
spark plug replacement does not solve the
problem, have the ignition wiring and oth-
er ignition system inspected by your Fiat
Dealership.FUEL FILTER
(Diesel engine)
The fuel filter works as a water sedimen-
tor as well.
Drain water when the fuel filter warning
light comes on. To drain water:
❒Place a pan or ample rag under the fu-
el filter drain nozzle.
❒Loosen the drain knob (1). The water
will be drained.
❒Tighten the drain knob when the water
changes to the diesel fuel.
❒Tighten the drain knob.

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.
