HOW TO CHANGE A
TYRE
132) 133)
Before changing a tyre, first stop your
vehicle in a safe, flat location.
1. Park the vehicle on level and stable
ground, free of loose pebbles, etc.
2. Set the parking brake firmly.
3. On vehicles with manual
transmission, turn the ignition switch to
the “LOCK” position or put the
operation mode in OFF, and move the
gearshift lever to the “R” (Reverse)
position. On vehicles with automatic
transmission, move the selector lever to
the “P” (PARK) position, and turn the
ignition switch to the “LOCK” position
or put the operation mode in OFF.
4. Turn on the hazard flashers and set
up a warning triangle, flashing signal
lamp, etc., at an adequate distance
from the vehicle, and have all your
passengers leave the vehicle.
5. To prevent the vehicle from rolling
when jacking up the vehicle, place
chocks or blocks (A) at the tyre that is
diagonally opposite from the tyre (B)
you are changing.
257) 258)
NOTE The chocks shown in the
illustration do not come with your
vehicle. It is recommended that you
keep ones in the vehicle for use if
needed.
NOTE If chocks are not available, use
stones or any other objects that are
large enough to hold the wheel in
position.
6. Get the jack, jack handle and wheel
nut wrench ready. Refer to “Tools, jack
and jack handle”.Spare wheel information
The spare wheel is stored under the
floor of the cargo bed. Check the air
pressure of the spare tyre frequently
and make sure it is ready for
emergency use at any time.
Maintaining the spare wheel at the
highest specified air pressure will
ensure that it can always be used under
any conditions (city/high-speed driving,
varying load weight, etc.).
259)
To remove the spare wheel
1. Set the jack handle (Club cab) (refer
to “To use the jack handle, Club cab”).
2. Insert the jack handle (A) in the hole

TOWING
If your vehicle needs to be towed
If towing is necessary, we recommend
you to have it done by your Fiat
Dealership or a commercial tow truck
service. In the following cases,
transport the vehicle using a tow truck.
The engine runs but the vehicle does
not move, or an abnormal noise is
produced.
Inspection of the vehicle’s underside
reveals that oil or some other fluid is
leaking.
If a wheel gets stuck in a ditch, do not
try to tow the vehicle. Please contact
your Fiat Dealership or a commercial
tow truck service for assistance.
Only when you cannot receive a towing
service from a Fiat Dealership or
commercial tow truck service, tow your
vehicle carefully in accordance with the
instructions given in “Emergency
towing” in this part. The regulations
concerning towing may differ from
country to country. It is recommended
that you obey the regulations of the
area where you are driving your vehicle.Towing the vehicle by a tow truck

If your vehicle is to be towed by
another vehicle
1. The front towing hooks are located
as shown in the illustration. Secure the
tow rope to the front towing hook.
NOTE Using any part other than the
designated towing hooks could result in
damage to the vehicle body.
Using a wire rope or metal chain can
result in damage to the vehicle body. It
is best to use a non-metallic rope. If you
use a wire rope or metal chain, wrap it
with cloth at any point where it touches
the vehicle body.
Use care that the tow rope is kept as
horizontal as possible. An angled tow
rope can damage the vehicle body.
Secure the tow rope to the same side

IN CASE OF EMERGENCY

WARNING
281)If the vehicle is towed with the ignition
switch in the “ON” position or the operation
mode in ON and only the front wheels or
only the rear wheels raised off the ground,
the active traction control system may
operate, resulting in an accident.
282)If your vehicle equipped with the
Active Stability & Traction Control system
(ASTC), if the vehicle is towed with the
ignition switch in the “ON” position or the
operation mode in ON and only the front
wheels or only the rear wheels raised off
the ground, the active traction control
system may operate, resulting in an
accident.
283)Avoid sudden braking, acceleration
and steering wheel movements; such
driving operation could cause damage to
the towing hook or towing rope. People in
the vicinity could be injured as a result.284)When going down a long slope, the
brakes may overheat, reducing
effectiveness. Have your vehicle transport
by a tow truck.
285)The person in the vehicle being towed
must pay attention to the brake lamps of
the towing vehicle and make sure the rope
never becomes slack.
286)Do not use flexible cables for towing
and avoid jerking. During towing
operations, make sure that the fastened
joint does not damage adjoining
components.
287)When towing the vehicle comply with
the specific rules of the Highway Code
regarding the towing device and the
behaviour on the road.
288)Do not start the engine while towing
the vehicle.
289)Towing must be made exclusively on
roads/streets; the device must not be used
to recover the vehicle if it got off the road.
290)Towing must not be made for getting
past significant obstacles on the road (e.g.
heaps of snow or material on the road
surface).
291)Towing must take place with the two
vehicles (one towing, the other towed)
aligned as much as possible; towing by
roadside assistance vehicles, too, must
take place with the two vehicles aligned as
much as possible.
IMPORTANT
138)This vehicle must not be towed by a
tow truck using sling lift type equipment
(Type A) as illustrated. Using a sling lift will
damage the bumper and front end.
139)On 4WD vehicles, be sure to set the
drive mode-selector to “2H” position and
transport the vehicle with the driving wheels
on a carriage (Type D or E) as illustrated.
Never try to tow with the drive
mode-selector in “4H” or “4L” positions
(easy select 4WD), “4H”, “4HLc” or “4LLc”
positions (super select 4WD II) and with the
front or rear wheels on the ground (Type B
or C) as illustrated. This could result in the
driving system damage or vehicle may
jump at the carriage. If you cannot set the
drive mode-selector to “2H” position or the
transmission is malfunctioning or damaged,
transport the vehicle with the all wheels on
a carriage (Type D or E) as illustrated.
140)On 2WD vehicles, if the transmission
is malfunctioning or damaged, transport the
vehicle with the driving wheels on a
carriage (Type C, D or E) as illustrated.
141)If you tow the vehicles with automatic
transmission with the driving wheels on the
ground (Type B) as illustrated, make sure
that the towing speed and distance given
below are never exceeded, causing
damage to the transmission. Towing speed:
30 km/h Towing distance: 80 km For the
towing speed and the towing distance,
follow the local driving laws and
regulations.

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.
