2018 FIAT FULLBACK check oil

A. Radiator cap
B. Cooling fan
C. Reserve tank
296)
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).
297)
165)
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, we recommend you to
have it checked and repaired.
WARNING
293)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.
294)Be careful of hot steam, which could
be blowing off the reserve tank cap.
295)Do not attempt to remove the radiator
cap while the engine is hot.
296)Be careful not to get your hands or
clothes caught in the cooling fan.
297)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.
IMPORTANT
165)Do not add coolant while the engine is
hot. Suddenly adding cold coolant could
damage the engine. Wait for the engine to
cool down, then add coolant a little at a
time.
BLEEDING THE FUEL
SYSTEM
The fuel system should be bled to
remove air as described below if the
fuel supply is exhausted during travel.
Pump the hand pump (A) at the top of
the fuel filter until the hand pump
becomes stiff.
Then try again to start the engine. If the
engine does not start, repeat the
process above.
298) 299)
WARNING
298)Do not smoke or have any other open
flame near the vehicle while bleeding the
fuel system.
299)Be sure to carefully clean away any
spilt fuel which could ignite and cause a
fire.

311)Stop jacking up the vehicle as soon
as the tyre is raised off the ground. It is
dangerous to raise the vehicle any higher.
Do not get under your vehicle while using
the jack. Do not bump the raised vehicle or
leave it sitting on the jack for a long time.
Both are very dangerous. Do not use a jack
except the one that came with your
vehicle. The jack should not be used for
any purpose other than to change a tyre.
No one should be in your vehicle when
using the jack. Do not start or run the
engine while your vehicle is on the jack. Do
not turn the raised wheel. The tyres still on
the ground could turn and make your
vehicle fall off the jack.
312)Do not get under your vehicle while
using the jack.
313)Do not bump the raised vehicle or
leave it sitting on the jack for a long time.
Both are very dangerous.
314)Do not use a jack except the one that
came with your vehicle.
315)The jack should not be used for any
purpose other than to change a tyre.
316)No one should be in your vehicle
when using the jack.
317)Do not start or run the engine while
your vehicle is on the jack.
318)Do not turn the raised wheel. The
tyres still on the ground could turn and
make your vehicle fall off the jack.
319)Handle the wheel carefully when
changing the tyre, to avoid scratching the
wheel surface.
320)Mount the spare wheel with the valve
stem K) facing outboard fig. 0. If you
cannot see the valve stem (K), you have
installed the wheel backwards.Operating the vehicle with the spare wheel
installed backwards can cause vehicle
damage and result in an accident.
321)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.
322)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.
323)The tyre pressure should be
periodically checked and maintained at the
specified pressure while the tyre is stowed.
324)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.
325)If the steering wheel vibrates when
driving after changing the tyre, we
recommend you to have the tyres checked
for balance.
326)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.
327)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.
328)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.329)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
166)Avoid using different size tyres from
the one listed and the combined use of
different types of tyres, as this can affect
driving safety.
167)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.
168)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.
169)Never apply oil to either the wheel
bolts or the nuts or they will tighten too
much.
170)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.
171)Close the release valve slowly when
lowering the vehicle, or the valve may be
damaged.

Fuse replacement
344) 345) 346) 347) 348) 349)
182)
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
344)Never replace a fuse with another
with a higher amp rating; DANGER OF
FIRE. If a general protection fuse
(MEGA-FUSE, MIDI-FUSE) is activated,
contact a Fiat Dealership.
345)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.
346)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.
347)Never replace a blown fuse with metal
wires or other material.
348)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.
349)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.
IMPORTANT
182)If it is necessary to wash the engine
compartment, take care not to directly hit
the fuse box and the window wiper motor
with the water jet

REPLACEMENT OF
LAMP BULBS
350) 351) 352) 353) 354) 355) 356) 357) 358) 359) 360)
Before replacing a bulb, ensure the
lamp is off. Do not touch the glass part
of the new bulb with your bare fingers;
the skin oil left on the glass will
evaporate when the bulb gets hot and
the vapour will condense on the
reflector and dim the surface.
NOTE If you are unsure of how to carry
out the work as required, we
recommend you to consult a specialist.
Be careful not to scratch the vehicle
body when removing a lamp and lens.
When it rains, or when the vehicle has
been washed, the inside of the lens
sometimes becomes foggy.This is the same phenomenon as when
window glass mists up on a humid day,
and does not indicate a functional
problem. When the lamp is switched
on, the heat will remove the fog.
However, if water gathers inside the
lamp, we recommend you to have the
lamp checked.
Bulb location and capacity
When replacing a bulb, be sure to use a
new bulb of the same type, wattage,
and colour. If you install a different bulb,
the bulb could malfunction or fail to
come on and could lead to a vehicle
fire.
