USING THE 2WD/4WD
SWITCH
(for versions/markets, where provided)
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 3 MODE 4 X 4
SYSTEM 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.
80J009
4WD LOCK
In this position, engine power is supplied
to the front and rear axles at reduced
speed. Use this position when it is hard to
start off in the “4WD AUTO” mode such
as in mud, sand or on snow.
NOTE
Avoid operating your vehicle in the
“4WD LOCK” on wet pavement as
much as possible. Operating your vehi-
cle in the “4WD LOCK” on wet pave-
ment may cause severe damage to the
drive train.
As the vehicle speed increases, the
“4WD LOCK” mode is automatically
canceled and the “4WD AUTO” mode
is selected.
When the ignition switch is turned to
the “OFF” position, the “4WD LOCK”
mode is canceled.

Tightening torque for drain plug
For Gasoline Engine Model:
35 Nm (3.5 kgm, 25.3 lb·ft)
For Diesel Engine Model:
20 Nm (2,0 kgm, 14.4 lb-ft)
❒Reinstall the drain plug and gasket.
Tighten the plug with a wrench to the
specified torque.
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
and drain out the engine oil.

OpenClose
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
60G306
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.

IMPORTANT To prevent oil leakage,
make sure that the oil filter is tight, but do
not over-tighten it. 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.

properly, it is Important to accurately
identify the position at which the filter gas-
ket first contacts the mounting surface.
❒Tighten the filter specified turn from
the point of contact with the mount-
ing surface (or to the specified torque)
using an oil filter wrench.

TRANSAXLE (AT) FLUID
SPECIFIC FLUID
Contact Fiat Dealership to receive indi-
cations about the proper fluid to use.
FLUID LEVEL CHECK
IMPORTANT Driving with too much or
too little fluid can damage the transaxle.
You must check the fluid level with the au-
tomatic transaxle fluid at normal operat-
ing temperature.
To check the fluid level:
❒To warm up the transaxle fluid, drive
the vehicle or idle the engine until the
temperature gauge indicates normal op-
erating temperature.
❒Then drive for ten more minutes.
IMPORTANT To prevent damages to the
automatic transaxle of your vehicle, nev-
er use a fluid different than that recom-
mended by Fiat Dealership.
❒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.

❒Insert the new wheel to the wheel
hanger. Install the wheel bolts to bolt
holes other than the position of wheel
hanger with their cone shaped end fac-
ing the wheel. Tighten each bolt snug-
ly by hand until the wheel is securely
seated on the hub.
❒Remove the wheel hanger and install a
wheel bolt. 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).
❒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.
❒Tighten the wheel hanger (1) in one of
the bolt holes on the wheel hub.
IMPORTANT Do not tighten the wheel
hanger too hard since the wheel hanger
can be damaged.

– Be sure to shift into “P”
(Park) for an automatic
transaxle vehicle, or into “R” (Reverse)
for a manual transaxle vehicle 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

Use 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.
