Jacking up a 4-wheel drive vehicles
222)
Clutch operation
Quick or slight clutch engagement
made while the engine is running at
high speed will cause damage to the
clutch and transmission because the
tractive force is very great. Operate the
pedal slowly and positively.Limited-slip differential
A limited-slip differential is applied for
the rear wheel differential only. The
features of this limited-slip differential
are described below:
Just as with a conventional differential,
the wheel on one side is allowed to turn
at a different speed from the wheel on
the other side when the vehicle is
cornering. The difference between the
limited-slip differential and a
conventional differential is that if the
wheel on one side of the vehicle loses
traction, a greater amount of torque is
applied to the wheel on the other side
to improve traction.
Even if there is a difference in the
amount of traction the wheels can get,
if both of them are spinning, the
limited-slip differential will not be
effective.
121) 122)
IMPORTANT
119)Always use tyres of the same size,
same type, and same brand which have no
wear differences. Using the tyres which
differ in size, type, brands or the degree of
wear or the inappropriate tyre inflation
pressure, will increase the differential oil
temperature and may be impossible to shift
the transfer, 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.
120)Be sure to set the drive mode-selector
to “2H” position and transport the vehicle
with the driving wheels on a carriage (Type
C or D) as illustrated. Never try to tow with
the drive mode-selector in “4H” or “4L”
position (Easy select 4WD), “4H”, “4HLc” or
“4LLc” position (Super select 4WD II) and
with the front or rear wheels on the ground
(Type A or B) as illustrated. This could result
in damage to the drivetrain, or unstable
towing. If you cannot set the drive
mode-selector to “2H” position or the
transmission is malfunctioning or damaged,
transport the vehicle with all the wheels on
a carriage (Type C or D) as illustrated.
121)Never start the engine while one of the
rear wheels is jacked up and the other in
contact with the ground; doing so may
cause the vehicle to jump forward.
122)When attempting to extract the
vehicle from snow, mud, etc., and the
engine is run continuously at high speed,
the limited-slip differential will be adversely
affected.

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.

6. Start the engine in the vehicle which
has the booster battery, let the engine
idle a few minutes, then start the engine
in the vehicle with the discharged
battery.
7. After the engine is started,
disconnect the cables in the reverse
order and keep the engine running for
several minutes.
NOTE On vehicles with anti-lock brake
system, if the vehicle is put in motion
without fully charging the battery, it
might cause the loss of the smooth
engine operation and the antilock brake
warning lamp to illuminate. Refer to
“Anti-lock brake system (ABS)”.
WARNING
231)To start the engine using jumper
cables from another vehicle, perform the
correct procedures according to the
instruction below. Incorrect procedures
could result in a fire or explosion or
damage to the vehicles.
232)Keep sparks, cigarettes and flames
away from the battery because the battery
may produce an explosion.
233)Do not attempt to start the engine by
pulling or pushing the vehicle. It could
damage your vehicle.
234)Check the other vehicle. It must have
a 12-volt battery. If the other system isn’t
12-volt, shorting can damage both
vehicles.
235)Use the proper cables suitable for the
battery size to prevent overheating of the
cables.
236)Check the jumper cables for damage
and corrosion before use.
237)Always wear protective eye goggles
when working near the battery.
238)Keep the battery out of the reach of
children.
239)Turn off the ignition on both vehicles
beforehand. Make sure that the cables or
your clothes cannot be caught by the fan
or drive belt. Personal injury could result.
240)If electrolyte fluid is not visible, or
appears to be frozen, Do Not Attempt
Jump Starting! A battery might rupture or
explode if the temperature is below the
freezing point or if it is not filled to the
proper level.241)Electrolyte is corrosive diluted
sulphuric acid. If electrolyte (battery acid)
comes into contact with your hands, eyes,
clothes or the painted surface of your
vehicle, it should be thoroughly flushed
with water. If electrolyte gets in your eyes,
flush them with water immediately and
thoroughly, and get prompt medical
attention.
242)Make sure that the connection is
made to the appointed position (shown in
the illustration). If the connection is made
directly to the negative (−) side of the
battery, the inflammable gases generated
from the battery might catch fire and
explode.
243)When connecting the jumper cables,
do not connect the positive (+) cable to the
negative (−) terminal. Otherwise sparks
might cause explosion of the battery.
244)Use care not to get the jumper cable
caught in the cooling fan or other rotating
part in the engine compartment.
245)Keep the engine of the vehicle giving
assistance running.
246)Battery fluid is poisonous and
corrosive: avoid contact with your skin and
eyes. The battery should be charged in a
well ventilated place, away from naked
flames or possible sources of sparks:
danger of explosion and fire.
247)Do not attempt to charge a frozen
battery: it must be thawed first, otherwise it
may explode. If freezing has occurred, the
battery should be checked by skilled
personnel to make sure that the internal
elements are not damaged and that the
body is not cracked, with the risk of leaking
poisonous and corrosive acid.A

IN CASE OF EMERGENCY

ENGINE
OVERHEATING
When the engine is overheating,will
blink. If this occurs, take the following
corrective measures:
1. Stop the vehicle in a safe place.
2. Check whether steam is coming from
the engine compartment.
If steam does not come from the engine
compartment: with the engine still
running, raise the bonnet to ventilate
the engine compartment.
If steam is coming from the engine
compartment: stop the engine, and
when the steam stops, raise the bonnet
to ventilate the engine compartment.
Restart the engine.
248) 249) 250)
3. Confirm that the cooling fan (B) is
turning.
If the cooling fan is turning: after the
high coolant temperature warning has
gone off, stop the engine
If the cooling fan is not turning: stop the
engine immediately and contact a Fiat
dealership for assistance.A — Radiator cap
B — Cooling fan
C — Reserve tank
251)
4. Check the coolant level in the reserve
tank (C).
5. Add coolant to the radiator and/or
reserve tank if necessary (refer to the
“Maintenance” section).
252)
131)
6. Examine the radiator hoses for
coolant leakage and the drive belt for
looseness or damage.
If there is anything wrong with the
cooling system or drive belt, have the
problem corrected at a Fiat Dealership.
WARNING
248)Do not open the bonnet while steam
is coming from the engine compartment. It
could cause steam or hot water to spurt
out, causing burns. Hot water could spurt
out even when there is no steam coming
out, and some parts will be very hot. Be
very careful when opening the bonnet.
249)Be careful of hot steam, which could
be blowing off the reserve tank cap.
250)Do not attempt to remove the radiator
cap while the engine is hot.
251)Be careful not to get your hands or
clothes caught in the cooling fan.
252)Make sure that the engine has cooled
down before removing the radiator cap (A),
because hot steam or boiling water
otherwise will gush from the filler port and
may scald you.

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

Towing with front wheels off the
ground (Type B)
Place the gearshift lever in the “N”
(Neutral) position (manual transmission)
or the selector lever in the “N”
(NEUTRAL) position (automatic
transmission). Release the parking
brake.
142)
Towing with rear wheels off the
ground (Type C)
Place the gearshift lever in the “N”
(Neutral) position (manual transmission)
or the selector lever in the “N”
(NEUTRAL) position (automatic
transmission). Turn the ignition switch to
the “ACC” position or put the operation
mode in ACC and secure the steering
wheel in a straight-ahead position with
a rope or tiedown strap. Never place
the ignition switch in the “LOCK”
position or put the operation mode in
OFF when towing.
Emergency towing
If towing service is not available in an
emergency, your vehicle may be
temporarily towed by a rope secured to
the towing hook. If your vehicle is to be
towed by another vehicle or if your
vehicle tows another vehicle, pay
careful attention to the following points.

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.
