2016 FIAT FULLBACK power steering

IF THE VEHICLE
BREAKS DOWN
If the vehicle breaks down on the road,
move it to the shoulder and use the
hazard warning flashers and/or the
warning triangle etc. Refer to “Hazard
warning flasher switch”.
If the engine stops/fails
Vehicle operation and control are
affected if the engine stops. Before
moving the vehicle to a safe area, be
aware of the following:
The brake booster becomes
inoperative and the pedal effort will
increase. Press down the brake pedal
harder than usual.
Since the power steering system is
no longer operative, the steering wheel
feels heavy when turning it.

If the engine cannot be started because
the battery is weak or dead, the battery
from another vehicle can be used with
jumper cables to start the engine.
1. Get the vehicles close enough so the
jumper cables can reach, but be sure
the vehicles aren’t touching each other.
2. Turn off all lamps, heater and other
electrical loads.
3. Set the parking brake firmly on each
vehicle. Put an automatic transmission
in “P” (PARK) or a manual transmission
in “N” (Neutral). Stop the engine.
4. Make sure battery electrolyte is at the
proper level. Refer to “Battery”.
5. Connect one end of one jumper
cable (1) to the positive (+) terminal of
the discharged battery (A), and the
other end (2) to the positive (+) terminal
of the booster battery (B).
Connect one end of the other jumper
cable (3) to the negative (−) terminal of
the booster battery (B), and the other
end (4) to the engine block of the
vehicle with the discharged battery at
the point farthest from the battery.
NOTE Open the terminal cover before
connecting the jumper cable to the
positive (+) terminal of the battery. Refer
to “Battery”.Petrol-powered vehicles

271)Mount the spare wheel with the valve
stem (J) facing outboard. If you cannot see
the valve stem (J), you have installed the
wheel backwards. Operating the vehicle
with the spare wheel installed backwards
can cause vehicle damage and result in an
accident.
272)Be sure to open the release valve
slowly. If it is opened quickly, the vehicle will
drop abruptly and the jack may come out
of position, causing a serious accident.
273)Never use your foot or a pipe
extension for extra force in the wheel nut
wrench. If you do so, you will tighten the
nut too much.
274)The tyre pressure should be
periodically checked and maintained at the
specified pressure while the tyre is stowed.
275)After changing the tyre and driving the
vehicle about 1,000 km, retighten the
wheel nuts to make sure that they have not
come loose.
276)If the steering wheel vibrates when
driving after changing the tyre, we
recommend you to have the tyres checked
for balance.
277)Do not mix one type of tyre with
another or use a different size from the one
listed. This would cause early wear and
poor handling.
278)The spare wheel should always be
securely in position. If a flat tyre is
changed, put the flat tyre in the spare
wheel mounting position with the wheel
outer surface upward, and use the wheel
nut wrench to secure it firmly.279)Never tamper with the inflation valve.
Never introduce tools of any kind between
rim and tyre. Check tyre and spare wheel
pressure regularly, referring to the values
shown in the "Technical specifications"
section.
280)The moving components of the jack
(screw and joints) can also cause injuries:
do not touch them. If you come into
contact with lubricating grease, clean
yourself thoroughly.
IMPORTANT
132)Avoid using different size tyres from
the one listed and the combined use of
different types of tyres, as this can affect
driving safety.
133)Even if a wheel has the same rim size
and offset as the specified type of wheel,
its shape may prevent it from being fitted
correctly. Consult an authorised Fiat
Dealership before using wheels that you
have.
134)When installing or removing the spare
wheel, please observe the followings. If you
do not follow them, it could result in break
the spare wheel carrier. Do not use the
power tool. Use the wheel nut wrench
stowed on the vehicle. Do not apply a force
of 400 N or more at the end of the wheel
nut wrench.
135)Never apply oil to either the wheel
bolts or the nuts or they will tighten too
much.
136)If the release valve is loosened too
much (2 or more turns) in the anticlockwise
direction, the jack’s oil will leak and the jack
cannot be used.137)Close the release valve slowly when
lowering the vehicle, or the valve may be
damaged.

IN CASE OF EMERGENCY

142)Never tow an automatic transmission
vehicle with the front wheels up (and the
rear wheels on the ground) (Type B) when
the automatic transmission fluid level is low.
This may cause serious and expensive
damage to the transmission.
143)When the engine is not running, the
brake booster and power steering pump do
not operate. This means higher brake
depression force and higher steering effort
are required. Therefore, vehicle operation is
very difficult.
144)Do not leave the ignition switch in the
“LOCK” position or the operation mode in
OFF. The steering wheel will lock, causing
loss of control.
145)On vehicles with super select 4WD II,
when you are going to tow another vehicle,
set the drive mode-selector to “4H”
position. Selecting “2H” drive may 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.OPERATION UNDER
ADVERSE DRIVING
CONDITIONS
On a flooded road
Avoid flooded roads. Water could enter
the brake discs, resulting in temporarily
ineffective brakes. In such cases, lightly
depress the brake pedal to see if the
brakes operate properly. If they do not,
lightly depress the pedal several times
while driving in order to dry the brake
pads.
When driving in rain or on a road with
many puddles a layer of water may
form between the tyres and the road
surface. This reduces a tyre’s frictional
resistance on the road, resulting in loss
of steering stability and braking
capability.
To cope with this, observe the following
items:
(a) Drive your vehicle at a slow speed.
(b) Do not drive on worn tyres.
(c) Always maintain the specified tyre
inflation pressures.On a snow-covered or frozen road
When driving on a snow-covered or
frozen road, it is recommended that you
use snow tyres or snow traction device
(tyre chains). Refer to the “Snow tyres”
and “Snow traction device (tyre chains)”
sections.
Avoid high-speed operation, sudden
acceleration, abrupt brake application
and sharp cornering.
Depressing the brake pedal during
travel on snowy or icy roads may cause
tyre slippage and skidding. When
traction between the tyres and the road
is reduced the wheels may skid and the
vehicle cannot readily be brought to a
stop by conventional braking
techniques. Braking will differ,
depending upon whether you have
anti-lock brake system (ABS). If you do
have ABS, brake by pressing the brake
pedal hard, and keeping it pressed. If
you do not have ABS, pump the brake
pedal with short rapid jabs, each time
fully applying and fully releasing for
greatest effect.
Allow extra distance between your
vehicle and the vehicle in front of you,
and avoid sudden braking.
Accumulation of ice on the braking
system can cause the wheels to lock.
Pull away from a standstill slowly after
confirming safety around the vehicle.

IN CASE OF EMERGENCY

Fuse replacement
294) 295) 296) 297) 298)
147)
1. Before replacing a fuse, always turn
off the electrical circuit concerned and
place the ignition switch in the “LOCK”
position or put the operation mode in
OFF.
2. Remove the fuse puller (A) from the
inside of the fuse block in the engine
compartment.
3. Referring to the fuse load capacity
table, check the fuse pertaining to the
problem.B. Fuse is OK
C. Blown fuse
NOTE If any system does not function
but the fuse corresponding to that
system is normal, there may be a fault
in the system elsewhere. We
recommend you to have your vehicle
checked.
4. Insert a new fuse of the same
capacity by using the fuse puller into
the same place at the fuse block.
WARNING
294)If the newly inserted fuse blows again
after a short time, we recommend you to
have the electrical system checked to find
the cause and rectify it.
295)Never use a fuse with a larger
capacity than specified or a substitute
(such as a cable or foil). Doing so could
cause the circuit wires to overheat and
create a fire.
296)Never replace a blown fuse with metal
wires or other material.
297)Before replacing a fuse, make sure
that the ignition key has been removed and
that all the other services are switched off
and/or disengaged.
298)If a general protection fuse for safety
systems (airbag system, braking system),
power unit systems (engine system,
transmission system) or steering system
blows, contact a Fiat Dealership.
