IMPORTANT Do not drive with your
hand resting on the gear lever as the force
exerted, even if slight, could lead over time
to premature wear on the gearbox inter-
nal components.
IMPORTANT
❒To help avoid clutch damage, do not
use the clutch pedal as a footrest while
driving or use the clutch to keep the ve-
hicle stationary on a hill. Depress the
clutch fully when shifting.
❒When shifting or starting off, do not
race the engine. Racing the engine can
shorten engine life and prevent smooth
shifting.
USING THE 2WD/
4WD SWITCH
(if equipped)
This 4WD system enables you to select the
driving mode according to the driving con-
ditions by operating the 2WD/4WD
switch. With this feature, you can select 3
mode positions, “2WD”, “4WD AUTO”
and “4WD LOCK” by operating the 2WD/
4WD switch even when the vehicle is mov-
ing, provided the front wheels are in the
straight ahead position.
DESCRIPTION OF TRANSFER
CASE POSITIONS
2WD
In this position, engine power is supplied
to the front axle only. Use this position
for normal driving (on dry, hard surfaces).
4WD AUTO
In this position, engine power is supplied
to the front and rear axles at normal
speed, providing greater traction than 2-
wheel drive. Use this position for driving
on paved roads or on slippery roads (icy,
snow- covered, muddy, etc.).In the AUTO mode, the 4WD controller
judges the driving conditions using signals
from sensors.
When slipping of the front wheels is de-
tected, the electronically controlled cou-
pling supplies optimum driving force to the
rear wheels. This function improves dri-
ving stability and running through perfor-
mance on rough roads and stabilizes dri-
ving performance even on a snow covered
up- hill road or the like.
Also, during normal driving on paved
roads, torque distribution to the rear
wheels is reduced to achieve the nearly
front wheel drive condition, thereby fuel
consumption is improved.

NOTE
(For Diesel Engine Model)
Whenever the engine oil is changed, the
monitoring system to find the next oil
change stage must be reset whether the
oil pressure light blinks or not. For details
on how to reset the system, ask your Fi-
at Dealership. CHANGING ENGINE OIL AND
FILTER
Drain the engine oil while the engine is still
warm.
❒Remove the oil filler cap.
❒Place a drain pan under the drain plug.
❒Using a wrench, remove the drain plug

The engine oil temperature
may be high enough to burn
your fingers when the drain plug is
loosened. Wait until the drain plug is
cool enough to touch with your bare
hands.
WARNING
60G306A
New and used oil can be
hazardous.
Children and pets may be harmed by
swallowing new or used oil. Keep new
and used oil and used oil filters away
from children and pets.
Repeated, prolonged contact with
used engine oil may cause skin can-
cer.
Brief contact with used oil may irri-
tate skin.
WARNING
To minimize your exposure
to used oil, wear a long-
sleeve shirt and moisture- proof
gloves (such as dishwashing gloves)
when changing oil. If oil contacts your
skin, wash thoroughly with soap and
water.
Launder any clothing or rags if wet
with oil.
Recycle or properly dispose of used
oil and filters.

REPLACE THE OIL FILTER
❒Using an oil filter wrench, turn the oil
filter counterclockwise and remove it.
❒Using a clean rag, wipe off the mount-
ing surface on the engine where the
new filter will be seated.
❒Smear a little engine oil around the rub-
ber gasket of the new oil filter.
❒Screw on the new filter by hand until
the filter gasket contacts the mounting
surface.

IMPORTANT To tighten the oil filter
properly, it is Important to accurately
identify the position at which the filter gas-

ing surface (or to the specified torque)
using an oil filter wrench.

IMPORTANT When tightening the plug,
apply sealing compound Loctite 510 or
equivalent to the plug threads to prevent
oil leakage.

you trust this job to your authorized Fiat
Dealership.

Manual transaxleRear differential (4WD)
After driving the vehicle, the
gear oil temperature may be
high enough to burn you. Wait until
the oil filler plug is cool enough to
touch with your bare hands before in-
specting transaxle oil.
WARNING
GEAR OIL LEVEL CHECK
To check the gear oil level, use the fol-
lowing procedure:
❒Park the vehicle on a level surface with
the parking brake applied. Then, stop
the engine.
❒Remove the oil filler plug (1) or (2).
❒Feel the inside of the hole with your fin-
ger. If the oil level comes up to the bot-
tom of the plug hole, the oil level is cor-
rect. If so, reinstall the plug.
❒If the oil level is low, add gear oil
through the oil filler plug hole (1) or (2)
until the oil level reaches the bottom of
the filler hole, then reinstall the plug.

IMPORTANT When replacing spark
plugs, you should use the brand and type
specified for your vehicle. For the speci-
fied plugs, refer to the “SPECIFICA-
TIONS” section at the end of this book. If
you wish to use a brand of spark plug oth-
er than the specified plugs, consult your
Fiat Dealership.

IMPORTANT
❒When installing the spark plugs, screw
them in with your fingers to avoid strip-
ping the threads. Tighten with a torque
wrench to 25 Nm (2.5 kgm, 18.0 lb-ft).
Do not allow contaminants to enter the
engine through the spark plug holes
when the plugs are removed.
❒Never use spark plugs with the wrong
thread size.
IMPORTANT
❒When disconnecting the spark plug ca-
bles, pull on the boot, not on the ca-
ble itself. Pulling on the cable can dam-
age it.
❒When servicing the Iridium/ Platinum
spark plugs (slender center electrode
type plugs), do not touch the center
electrode, as it is easy to damage.

❒Remove the wheel bolts and wheel.
❒Before installing the new wheel, clean
any mud or dirt off from the surface of
the wheel and hub with a clean cloth.
Clean the hub carefully; it may be hot
from driving.
❒Install the new wheel and replace the
wheel bolts with their cone shaped
end facing the wheel. Tighten each bolt
snugly by hand until the wheel is se-
curely seated on the hub. CHANGING WHEELS
To change a wheel, use the following pro-
cedure:
❒Remove the jack, tools and spare wheel
from the vehicle.
❒Loosen, but do not remove the wheel
bolts.
❒Jack up the vehicle (follow the jacking
instructions in the “EMERGENCY SER-
VICE” section)
– Be sure to shift into “R” (Re-
verse) in manual transaxle
when you jack up the vehicle.
– Never jack up the vehicle with the
transaxle in “N” (Neutral). Other-
wise, unstable jack may cause an ac-
cident.
WARNING
Tightening torque for wheel bolt
85 Nm (8.5 kgm, 61.5 lb-ft)
❒Lower the jack and fully tighten the
bolts to the specified torque in a criss-
cross fashion with a wrench as shown
in the illustration.
81A05779J196Use genuine wheel bolts and
tighten them to the specified
torque as soon as possible after chang-
ing wheels. Incorrect wheel bolts or im-
properly tightened wheel bolts may
come loose or fall off, which can result
in an accident. If you do not have a
torque wrench, have the wheel bolt
torque checked by an authorized Fiat
Dealership.
