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.
INSTALLATION OF ACCESSORIES
Before fitting any accessories, please consult your authorised Fiat Dealership.

mode in any mode other than OFF, the
operation mode ON reminder inner
buzzer sounds intermittently to remind
you to put the operation mode in OFF.WARNING
6)Do not remove the ignition key from the
ignition switch while driving. The steering
wheel will be locked, causing loss of
control.
7)If the ignition device has been tampered
with (e.g. an attempted theft), have it
checked over by a Fiat Dealership before
driving again.
8)Always remove the key when you leave
your vehicle to prevent someone from
accidentally operating the controls.
Remember to engage the handbrake.
Engage first gear if the vehicle is parked
uphill or reverse gear if the vehicle is
parked downhill. Never leave children
unattended in the vehicle.9)Never extract the key while the vehicle is
moving. The steering wheel will lock as
soon as it is turned. This also applies to
cases in which the vehicle is towed.
10)Under no circumstances should
aftermarket operations be carried out
involving steering system or steering
column modifications (e.g. installation of
anti-theft device). This could negatively
affect performance and safety, invalidate
the warranty, cause serious safety
problems and also result in vehicle
non-compliance with type-approval
requirements.
IMPORTANT
1)If the engine is stopped while driving, the
brake servomechanism will cease to
function and braking efficiency will
deteriorate. Also, the power steering
system will not function and it will require
greater manual effort to operate the
steering.
2)Do not leave the key in the “ON” position
for a long time when the engine is not
running, doing so will cause the battery to
be discharged.
3)Do not turn the key to the “START”
position while the engine is running. Doing
so could damage the starter motor.
4)The indicator lamp (A) fig. 24 will flash
orange when there is a problem or
malfunction in the keyless operation
system. Never drive if the indicator lamp on
the engine switch is flashing orange.
Immediately contact your Fiat Dealership.

5)If the engine switch operation is not
smooth and feels like it is sticking, do not
operate the switch. Immediately contact
your Fiat Dealership.
6)When the engine is not running, put the
operation mode in OFF. Leaving the
operation mode in ON or ACC for a long
time when the engine is not running may
cause the battery to be discharged, making
it impossible to start the engine, lock and
unlock the steering wheel.
7)When the battery is disconnected, the
current operation mode is memorized. After
reconnecting the battery, the memorized
mode is selected automatically. Before
disconnecting the battery for repair or
replacement, make sure to put the
operation mode in OFF. Be careful if you
are not sure which operation mode the
vehicle is in when the battery is run down.
8)The operation mode cannot be changed
from OFF to ACC or ON if the keyless
operation key is not detected to be in the
vehicle. Refer to “Keyless operation system:
Operating range for starting the engine and
changing the operation mode”.
9)When there is the keyless operation key
in the vehicle and the operation mode isn’t
change, the keyless operation key may
have worn out.DOORS

Fuel injection amount learning
process
To keep exhaust emissions and engine
noise low, the engine very occasionally
performs a learning process for the fuel
injection amount.
The engine sounds slightly different
from usual while the learning process is
taking place. The change in the engine
sound does not indicate a fault.
If the keyless operation key is not
operating properly
Insert the keyless operation key into the
key slot. Starting the engine and
changing the operation mode should be
now possible.
Remove the keyless operation key from
the key slot after starting the engine or
changing the operation mode.
NOTE Do not insert into the key slot
anything other than the keyless
operation key. This could cause
damage or a malfunction.NOTE Remove the object or additional
key from the keyless operation key
before inserting the key into the key
slot. The vehicle may not be able to
receive the registered ID code from the
registered key. Therefore, the engine
may not start and the operation mode
may not change.
NOTE The keyless operation key is
fixed, if the key is inserted in the key
slot as illustrated. When pulling out the
key, pull out in the state.
Keyless operation key reminder*
(Where provided)
If the operation mode is in OFF and the
driver’s door is opened with the keyless
operation key in the key slot, the
warning lamp will blink and the outer
buzzer sounds for approximately
3 seconds and the inner buzzer sounds
for approximately 1 minute to remind
you to remove the key.
IMPORTANT
89)In some cases, when the engine
switches off, the fan could activate for max.
120 seconds.
90)A quick burst on the accelerator before
turning off the engine serves absolutely no
practical purpose; it wastes fuel and is
especially damaging to turbocharged
engines.
91)Never start the engine by pushing,
towing or driving downhill. This could cause
fuel to flow into the catalytic converter and
damage it beyond repair.
92)Remember that the brake servo and
power steering are not operational until the
engine has been started, so you need to
apply much more force than usual to the
brake pedal and steering wheel.
93)It is advisable not to demand maximum
performance from your vehicle (e.g.
excessive acceleration, long distances at
high speeds, excessively intense braking,
etc.) during the initial period of use.
94)Release the ignition key as soon as the
engine starts to avoid damaging the starter
motor.
95)Never attempt to start the engine by
pushing or pulling the vehicle.
96)Do not run the engine at high speeds or
drive the vehicle at high speeds until the
engine has had a chance to warm up.
97)If your vehicle is equipped with a
turbocharger, do not stop the engine
immediately after high-speed or uphill
driving. First allow the engine to idle to give
the turbocharger a chance to cool down.

STARTING AND DRIVING

104)In the following cases, the engine will
restart automatically even if the engine was
stopped by the Start&Stop system. Pay
careful attention, otherwise an unexpected
accident might occur when the engine
restarts: vehicle speed is 3 km/h or higher
when coasting down a slope; brake
booster vacuum pressure is low because
the brake pedal is depressed repeatedly or
depressed harder than usual; engine
coolant temperature is low; when the air
conditioner is operated by pressing the air
conditioning switch; when the preset
temperature of the air conditioner is
changed significantly; when the air
conditioner is operated in AUTO mode
where the temperature control is set to the
max. hot or the max. cool (for vehicles with
automatic climate air conditioning); when
the air conditioner is ON, the passenger
compartment temperature rises and the air
conditioning compressor operates to lower
the temperature; demister switch is
pressed. Refer to “For quick demisting”;
electric power consumption is high, such
as when the rear window demister or other
electrical components are operating or the
blower speed is set to a high setting;
battery voltage or battery performance is
low; operate the steering wheel; driver’s
seat belt is unfastened; driver’s door is
opened.MANUAL
TRANSMISSION
The shift pattern is shown on the
gearshift lever knob. To start off,
depress the clutch pedal all the way
down and shift into 1st or “R” (Reverse)
position. Then gradually release the
clutch pedal while depressing the
accelerator pedal.
227)
105) 106) 107) 108) 109)
During cold weather, shifting may be
difficult until the transmission lubricant
has warmed up. This is normal and not
harmful to the transmission.
If it is hard to shift into 1st, depress the
clutch pedal again; the shift will then be
easier to make.
In case of hot weather condition or long
time cruising with high speed, a speed
limitation function may work to restrict
the oil temperature rising of the manual
transmission. After the oil temperature
drops to the appropriate level, the
speed limitation function is cancelled.
The gearshift indicator shows
recommended gearshift points for
fuel-efficient driving. It shows a
when
an upshift is recommended.Moving the gearshift lever to the
“R” (Reverse) position
Depress and hold the gearshift lever to
the “R” (Reverse) position.110)
Possible driving speed
Avoid shifting down at high speed, as
this may cause excessive engine speed
(the tachometer needle into the red
zone) and damage the engine.

Selector lever positions
“P” PARK
This position locks the transmission to
prevent the vehicle from moving. The
engine can be started in this position.
“R” REVERSE
This position is to back up.
112)
“N” NEUTRAL
At this position the transmission is
disengaged. It is the same as the
neutral position on a manual
transmission, and should only be used
when the vehicle is stationary for an
extended length of time during driving,
such as in a traffic jam.
113) 114) 115)
“D” DRIVE
This position is used for most city and
highway driving. The transmission will
automatically change its gear
depending on road and driving
conditions.
116)
Sport mode
Whether the vehicle is stationary or in
motion, sports mode is selected by
gently pushing the selector lever from
the “D” (DRIVE) position into the manual
gate (A). To return to “D” range
operation, gently push the selector lever
back into the main gate (B).In sports mode, gear shifts can be
made rapidly simply by moving the
selector lever backward and forward.
For vehicles equipped with the shift
paddles, shift paddles at the steering
wheel can also be used to perform
gearshift. In contrast to a manual
transmission, the sports mode allows
gear shifts with the accelerator pedal
depressed.
NOTE If your vehicle is equipped with
the shift paddles, you can shift into
sports mode with shift paddles when
the selector lever is in the main gate as
well. Also, you can return to the “D”
range operation in any of following
ways. When returning to “D” range
operation, the selector lever position
display will change to “D” (DRIVE)
position.
Pull the + (SHIFT UP) side shift
paddle forward (toward the driver) for
over 2 seconds.
Stop the vehicle.
Push the selector lever from the “D”
(DRIVE) position into the manual gate
(A) and push the selector lever back
into the main gate (B).
+ Shift up
The transmission shifts up by one gear
with each operation.
— Shift down
The transmission shifts down by one
gear with each operation.
117) 118) 119)
NOTE Only the 5 forward gears can be
selected. To reverse or park the vehicle,
move the selector lever to the “R”
(REVERSE) or “P” (PARK) position as
required.
NOTE To maintain good running
performance, the transmission may
refuse to perform an upshift when the
selector lever or the shift paddles is
moved to the “+ (SHIFT UP)” position at
certain vehicle speeds. Also, to prevent
over-revving of the engine, the
transmission may refuse to perform a
downshift when the selector lever or the
shift paddles is moved to the “—
(SHIFT DOWN)” position at certain

Examples of incorrect use of the
rear differential lock
228)
229)
230) 231)
WARNING
228)If the “4L” or “4H” position (Easy
select 4WD), “4LLc” or “4HLc” position
(Super select 4WD II) is selected along with
the rear differential lock, the following
phenomena appear and it is very
dangerous. Please be sure to release the
rear differential lock on normal roads. If the
rear differential lock is used by mistake
when driving on a paved road: With the
rear differential lock on, the power to drive
the vehicle straight ahead becomes very
strong, which may make it difficult to turn
the steering wheel.
229)If the rear differential lock is used by
mistake when turning a curve or making a
right or left turn at a crossing or the like:
The vehicle is unable to make a turn and
may go straight ahead.230)If the rear differential lock is used by
mistake except when making an
emergency escape on snow or frozen
road: It becomes difficult to make a steady
turn.
231)In the case where the condition of the
road is different for the right tyre to drive
from the left tyre (such as one tyre on a
paved road and the other on ice), direction
of the vehicle may change abruptly when
engine braking or accelerating. Do not use
the rear differential lock except when
making an emergency escape on a snow
or frozen road, but drive with 4WD.
IMPORTANT
137)Operate the rear differential switch
after the wheels are stopped. Operating the
switch with the wheels turning may cause
the vehicle to dart in unexpected directions.
138)If a problem is detected in the rear
differential lock system, a safety device will
activate. The rear differential lock indicator
lamp will blink rapidly (twice per second),
and the rear differential lock will deactivate.
Park your vehicle in a safe place, turn off
the engine for a few moments. Restart the
engine. It is safe to continue driving if the
lamps resume normal operation. If the rear
differential lock indicator lamp blinks when
the rear differential lock is reactivated, have
the vehicle checked by a Fiat Dealership as
soon as possible.

163) 164)
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.
291) 292) 293) 294) 295) 296)
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.).
