2016 FIAT FULLBACK oil change

VEHICLE CHANGES / ALTERATIONS
IMPORTANT
Any change or alteration of the vehicle might seriously affect its safety and road holding, thus causing accidents, in which the
occupants could even be fatally injured.
ACCESSORIES PURCHASED BY THE OWNER
If after buying the vehicle, you decide to install electrical accessories that require a permanent electrical supply (e.g. radio,
satellite anti-theft system, etc.) or accessories that in any case burden the electrical supply, contact a Fiat Dealership, whose
personnel will check whether the vehicles's electrical system is able to withstand the load required, or whether it needs to be
integrated with a more powerful battery.
IMPORTANT Take care when fitting additional spoilers, alloy wheels or non-standard wheel hubs: they could reduce the
ventilation of the brakes and affect efficiency under sharp, repeated braking or on long descents. Make sure that nothing
obstructs the pedal stroke (mats, etc.).
INSTALLING ELECTRICAL / ELECTRONIC DEVICES
Electrical and electronic devices installed after buying the vehicle in the context of after-sales service must carry the following
label: FCA Italy S.p.A. authorises the installation of transceivers provided that installation is carried out at a specialised
centre, in a workmanlike fashion and in compliance with manufacturer's specifications.
Traffic police may not allow the vehicle on the road if devices have been installed which modify the features of the vehicle. This
may also cause invalidation of warranty in relation to faults caused by the change either directly or indirectly related to it.
FCA Italy S.p.A. shall not be liable for damage caused by the installation of accessories either not supplied or recommended by
FCA Italy S.p.A. and not installed in compliance with the provided instructions.
RADIO TRANSMITTERS AND MOBILE PHONES
Radio transmitter equipment (vehicle mobile phones, CB radios, amateur radio etc.) cannot be used inside the vehicle unless a
separate aerial is mounted externally. Transmission and reception of these devices may be affected by the shielding effect of the
vehicle body. As far as the use of EC-approved mobile phones is concerned (GSM, GPRS, UMTS, LTE), follow the usage
instructions provided by the mobile phone Manufacturer. The use of these devices inside the passenger compartment (without
an external aerial) may cause the electrical systems to malfunction. This could compromise the safety of the vehicle in addition
to constituting a potential hazard for passengers' health. If mobile phones/laptops/smartphones/tablets are inside the vehicle
and/or close to the electronic key, a reduced performance of the Passive Entry/Keyless Entry-N-Go system may occur.

117)Never cross a stream where the water
is deep. Do not change gears while
crossing the stream. Frequent crossing of
streams can adversely affect the life span
of the vehicle; we recommend you to take
the necessary measures to prepare,
inspect, and repair the vehicle.
118)After crossing a stream, apply the
brakes to be sure they are functioning
properly. If the brakes are wet and not
functioning properly, dry them out by
driving slowly while lightly depressing the
brake pedal. Inspect each part of the
vehicle carefully.
WARNING
218)When attempting to rock your vehicle
out of a stuck position, be sure that the
area around the vehicle is clear of people
and physical objects. The rocking motion
may cause the vehicle to suddenly launch
forward or backward, causing injury or
damage to nearby people or objects.
219)Go straight up. Do not try to traverse
across a steep slope.
220)If you begin to lose traction, ease off
the accelerator pedal and gently turn the
steering wheel alternatively left and right to
regain adequate traction again.
221)Avoid snaking down a sharp grade.
Descend the grade as straight as possible.
CAUTIONS ON
HANDLING OF
4 WHEEL DRIVE
VEHICLES
Tyres and wheels
Since the driving torque can be applied
to the 4 wheels, the performance of the
vehicle when operating in 4-wheel drive
is greatly affected by the condition of
the tyres.
Pay close attention to the tyres.
Install specified tyres on all wheels.
Refer to “Tyres and wheels”.
Be sure to the appropriate tyre
inflation pressure according to no cargo
or cargo. Refer to “Tyre inflation
pressures”.
Be sure to fit all 4 tyres and wheels of
the same size and type. When
replacement of any of the tyres or
wheels is necessary, replace all of them.
All tyres should be rotated whenever
the wear difference between the front
and rear tyres is recognizable.
Good vehicle performance cannot be
expected if there is a difference in wear
between tyres. Refer to “Tyre rotation”.
Check the tyre inflation pressure
regularly.
119)
Towing
If towing is necessary, we recommend
you to have it done by a 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 abnormal noise is
produced.
Inspection of the vehicle’s underside
reveals that oil or some other fluid is
leaking.
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 “Towing”.

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.
