2018 FIAT FULLBACK air condition

1 – Check depths of a stream and
geographical features before attempting
to cross a stream and ford the stream
where the water is as shallow as
practicable.
2 – Set the drive mode-selector to “4L”
position (Easy Select 4WD), “4LLc”
position (Super Select 4WD II).
3 – Drive slowly at a speed of
approximately 5 km/h to avoid
splashing too much water.

Inspection and maintenance
following rough road operation
After operating the vehicle in rough road
conditions, be sure to perform the
following inspection and maintenance
procedures:
Check that the vehicle has not been
damaged by rocks, gravel, etc.
Carefully wash the vehicle with water.
Drive the vehicle slowly while lightly
depressing the brake pedal in order to
dry out the brakes. If the brakes still do
not function properly, contact a Fiat
Dealership as soon as possible to have
the brakes checked.
Remove the insects, dried grass, etc.
clogging the radiator core and the A/T
oil cooler.
After crossing a stream, be sure to have
the following items inspected at a Fiat
Dealership and take the necessary
measures:
Check the brake system and, if
necessary, have it serviced.
Check the engine, transmission,
transfer, and differential oil or grease
level and turbidity. If the oil or grease is
milky, it indicates water contamination.
Replace it with new oil or grease.
Grease the propeller shaft.
Check the inside of the vehicle. If
ingress of water is found, dry the carpet
etc.
Inspect the headlamps. If the
headlamp bulb is flooded with water,
have the headlamp drained off.
IMPORTANT
144)Selecting “4H” or “4L” position (Easy
Select 4WD), “4HLc” or “4LLc” position
(Super Select 4WD II) to drive on dry paved
road will increase the fuel consumption with
possible noise generation and early tyre
wear. It may also 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.
145)Avoid sudden braking, sudden
acceleration, and sharp turning; such
operations could cause skidding and
spinouts.146)Do not force the vehicle or drive
recklessly on sandy surfaces. In
comparison with normal road surfaces, the
engine and other drive-system components
are put under excessive strain when driving
on such a surface, and this could lead to
accidents.
147)If any of following conditions occur
while the vehicle is being driven,
immediately park your vehicle in a safe
place and follow these procedures: the
needle in the temperature gauge
approaches the overheating zone. Refer to
“Engine overheating”; automatic
transmission fluid temperature warning
lamp comes on. Refer to “When the A/T
(automatic transmission) fluid temperature
warning lamp comes on”.
148)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.
149)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.

175)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.
176)On vehicles with manual transmission,
do not tow the vehicle with the rear wheels
on the ground (Type B) as illustrated.
177)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.
178)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.
179)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.
180)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. In the event
driving flooded roads, doing so may
cause the following serious damage to
the vehicle.
Engine stalling
Short in electrical components
Engine damage caused by water
immersion
After driving flooded roads, be sure to
have an inspection at a Fiat Dealership
and take the necessary measures or
repair.
On a wet road
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.

SERVICING AND MAINTENANCE

40 cm away from the bodywork to
avoid damage or alteration. It should be
remembered that the build up of water
can damage the car over a period of
time.
Wash the bodywork using a low
pressure jet of water.
Use a sponge to wipe a slightly
soapy solution over the bodywork,
frequently rinsing the sponge.
Rinse with plenty of water and dry
with a jet of air or a chamois leather. Dry
the less visible parts with special care,
such as the door frames, bonnet and
the headlight frames, where water may
stagnate more easily. The car should
not be taken to a closed area
immediately, but left outside so that
residual water can evaporate.
Do not wash the car after it has been
parked in the sun.
Exterior plastic parts must be
cleaned in the same way as the rest of
the vehicle.
Where possible, do not park under
trees: the resinous substances that
many species release give the paint a
dull appearance and increase the
possibility of triggering rusting
processes.NOTE Any stains (caused by water) on
the stickers or wrapping can be
removed by dampening the area again
and drying it with a soft, nonabrasive
cloth.
NOTE Bird droppings must be washed
off immediately and thoroughly as the
acid they contain is particularly
aggressive.
NOTE Avoid (if at all possible) parking
the car under trees; remove vegetable
resins immediately as, when dried, it
may only be possible to remove them
with abrasive products and/or polishes,
which is highly inadvisable as they
could alter the paint, the stickers or the
wrapping.
IMPORTANT
202)Avoid washing with rollers and/or
brushes in washing stations. Wash the
vehicle only by hand using neutral pH
detergents; dry it with a wet chamois
leather. Abrasive products and/or polishes
should not be used for cleaning the car.
Bird droppings must be washed off
immediately and thoroughly as the acid
they contain is particularly aggressive.
Avoid (if at all possible) parking the vehicle
under trees; remove vegetable resins
immediately as, when dried, it may only be
possible to remove them with abrasive
products and/or polishes, which is highly
inadvisable as they could alter the typical
opaqueness of the paint. Do not use pure
windscreen washer fluid for cleaning the
front windscreen and rear window; dilute it
min. 50% with water. Only use pure screen
washer fluid when strictly necessary due to
outside temperature conditions.
203)When washing the under side of your
vehicle or wheel, be careful not to injure
your hands.
204)If your vehicle is equipped with the
rear gate spoiler, consult a car wash
operator before using the car wash.
205)If your vehicle has rain sensor wipers,
place the wiper switch lever in the “OFF”
position to deactivate the rain sensor
before washing the vehicle. Otherwise, the
wipers will operate in the presence of water
spray on the windscreen and may get
damaged as a result.
