The wipers will operate once if the lever
is moved to the “AUTO” position and
the knob (C) is turned in the “+”
direction when the ignition switch is in
the “ON” position or the operation
mode is in ON.
Windscreen washer
The washer fluid will be sprayed onto
the windscreen by pulling the lever
towards you. The wipers operate
automatically several times while the
washer fluid is being sprayed. On
vehicles equipped with the headlamp
washer, while the headlamps are on,
the headlamp washer will operate once
together with the windscreen washer.Precautions to observe when using
wipers and washers
If the moving wipers become
blocked partway through a sweep by
ice or other deposits on the glass, the
wipers may temporarily stop operating
to prevent the motor from overheating.
In this case, park the vehicle in a safe
place, turn the ignition switch to the
“OFF” position or put the operation
mode in OFF, and then remove the ice
or other deposits. Because the wipers
will start operating again after the wiper
motor cools down, check that the
wipers operate before using them.
Do not use the wipers when the
glass is dry. They may scratch the glass
surface and the blades wear out
prematurely.
Before using the wipers in cold
weather, check that the wiper blades
are not frozen onto the glass. The
motor may burn out if the wipers are
used with the blades frozen onto the
glass.
Avoid using the washer continuously
for more than 20 seconds. Do not
operate the washer when the fluid
reservoir is empty. Otherwise, the motor
may burn out.
Periodically check the level of washer
fluid in the reservoir and refill if required.
During cold weather, add a
recommended washer solution that will
not freeze in the washer reservoir.
Failure to do so could result in loss of
washer function and frost damage to
the system components.
WARNING
58)If the washer is used in cold weather,
the washer fluid sprayed against the glass
may freeze, which may hinder visibility.
Warm the glass with the defroster or rear
window demister before using the washer.

Turning sharp corners
When turning a sharp corner in “4H” or
“4L” position (Easy select 4WD), “4HLc”
or “4LLc” position (Super select 4WD II)
at low speed, a slight difference in
steering may be experienced similar to
as if the brakes were applied. This is
called tight corner braking and results
from each of the 4 tyres being at a
different distance from the corner.
Crossing a stream
4-wheel drive vehicles are not
necessarily waterproof. If the electrical
circuits become wet, further operation
of the vehicle will be impossible;
therefore, avoid crossing streams
unless absolutely necessary. If crossing
a stream is unavoidable, use the
following procedure:
Check depths of a stream and
geographical features before
attempting to cross a stream and
ford the stream where the water is
as shallow as practicable.Set the
drive mode-selector to “4L”
position (Easy select 4WD), “4LLc”
position (Super select 4WD II).Drive
slowly at a speed of approximately
5 km/h to avoid splashing too
much water.
117) 118)
Inspection and maintenance
following rough road operation
After operating the vehicle in rough road
conditions, be sure to perform the
following inspection and maintenance
procedures:
Check that the vehicle has not been
damaged by rocks, gravel, etc.
Carefully wash the vehicle with water.
Drive the vehicle slowly while lightly
depressing the brake pedal in order to
dry out the brakes. If the brakes still do
not function properly, we recommend
you to have the brakes checked as
soon as possible.
Remove the insects, dried grass, etc.
clogging the radiator core.
After crossing a stream, be sure to have
the following items inspected at a Fiat
Dealership and take the necessary
measures:
Check the brake system and, if
necessary, have it serviced.
Check the engine, transmission,
transfer, and differential oil or grease
level and turbidity. If the oil or grease is
milky, it indicates water contamination.
Replace it with new oil or grease.
Grease the propeller shaft.
Check the inside of the vehicle. If
water is found, dry the carpet etc.
Inspect the headlamps. If the
headlamp bulb is flooded with water,
have the headlamp drained off.
IMPORTANT
113)Selecting “4H” or “4L” position (Easy
select 4WD), “4HLc” or “4LLc” position
(Super select 4WD II) to drive on dry paved
road will increase the fuel consumption with
possible noise generation and early tyre
wear. It may also increase the differential oil
temperature, resulting in possible damage
to the driving system. Further, the drive
train will be subjected to excessive loading,
possibly leading to oil leakage, component
seizure, or other serious faults.
114)Avoid sudden braking, sudden
acceleration, and sharp turning; such
operations could cause skidding and
spinouts.
115)Do not force the vehicle or drive
recklessly on sandy surfaces. In
comparison with normal road surfaces, the
engine and other drive-system components
are put under excessive strain when driving
on such a surface, and this could lead to
accidents.
116)If any of following conditions occur
while the vehicle is being driven,
immediately park your vehicle in a safe
place and follow these procedures: the
needle in the temperature gauge
approaches the overheating zone. Refer to
“Engine overheating”; automatic
transmission fluid temperature warning
lamp comes on. Refer to “When the A/T
(automatic transmission) fluid temperature
warning lamp comes on”.

STARTING AND DRIVING
REAR VIEW CAMERA
(where provided)
The rear-view camera is a system that
shows the view behind the vehicle on a
screen of the Communication System
or the DISPLAY AUDIO.
228) 229) 230)
128)
Range of view of rear-view camera
The range of view of the rear-view
camera is limited to the area shown in
the illustrations. It cannot show the both
sides and the lower part of the rear
bumper, etc. When reversing, be sure
to visually confirm safety around the
vehicle.Location of rear-view camera
The rear-view camera (A) is integrated
into the part near the rear gate handle.How to use the rear-view camera
When you place the gearshift lever or
the selector lever in the “R” position
with the ignition switch in the “ON”
position or the operation mode in ON,
the view behind the vehicle will
automatically appear on the screen of
the DISPLAY AUDIO. When you move
the gearshift lever or the selector lever
to any other position, the screen will
return to its original indication.129)
Because the rear-view camera has a
special lens, the lines on the ground
between parking spaces may not look
parallel on the screen.
In the following situations, the screen
indication may be difficult to see. There
is no abnormality.
Low light (nighttime)
When the light of the sun or the light
from a vehicle’s headlamps shines
directly into the lens
If a fluorescent light shines directly
into the lens, the screen indication may
be flicker. There is no abnormality.
If the camera is hot and is then cooled
by rain or a car wash, the lens can mist
up. This phenomenon does not indicate
a malfunction.
If the atmospheric temperature is
extremely hot or extremely cold, the

REPLACEMENT OF
LAMP BULBS
299) 300) 301) 302) 303) 304)
Before replacing a bulb, ensure the
lamp is off. Do not touch the glass part
of the new bulb with your bare fingers;
the skin oil left on the glass will
evaporate when the bulb gets hot and
the vapor will condense on the reflector
and dim the surface.
NOTE If you are unsure of how to carry
out the work as required, we
recommend you to consult a specialist.
Be careful not to scratch the vehicle
body when removing a lamp and lens.
When it rains, or when the vehicle has
been washed, the inside of the lens
sometimes becomes foggy. This is the
same phenomenon as when window
glass mists up on a humid day, and
does not indicate a functional problem.When the lamp is switched on, the heat
will remove the fog. However, if water
gathers inside the lamp, we
recommend you to have the lamp
checked.

When replacing a bulb, use a new bulb
with the same wattage and colour.
