TRAILER TOWING
In order to tow a trailer with your
vehicle, when having a trailer towing
device mounted that meets all relevant
regulations in your area, consult a Fiat
Dealership.
Check that your towbar coupling ball
does not obscure your vehicle’s licence
plate when the trailer or caravan is
disconnected. If it obscures the licence
plate, please remove the towbar
coupling ball. And if the towbar
coupling ball is lockable by using a key
or any kind of tools, please remove the
coupling ball and use a towbar coupling
ball which can be removed or
repositioned without the use of a key or
any kind of tools instead.
The regulations concerning the towing
of a trailer may differ from country to
country. You are advised to obey the
regulations in each area.
NOTE If you are going to tow a trailer,
pay careful attention to the following
points.
89)
Maximum towable weight with brake
and maximum trailernose weight
Never exceed the maximum towable
weight with brake and the maximum
trailer-nose weight as listed in the
specifications. (Refer to “Vehicle
weight”.If you tow a trailer at an altitude
of more than 1,000 m above sea-level,reduce your weight by 10 % of the
gross combination weight for every
increase of 1,000 m above sea-level, as
the engine output is lowered owing to
decrease in atmospheric pressure.

NOTE The electronic stability control
function does not operate when the
drive mode-selector is in the “4L”
position (Easy Select 4WD), “4LLc”
position (Super Select 4WD II). When
the active stability control function is
operating with the drive mode-selector
in the “2H” or “4H” position (Easy
Select 4WD), “2H”, “4H” or “4HLc”
position (Super Select 4WD II), setting
the drive modeselector to the “4L”
(Easy Select 4WD), “4LLc” position
(Super Select 4WD II) position makes
the active stability control function
deactivate automatically.
NOTE The electronic stability control
function operates at speeds of about
15 km/h or higher.
NOTE On vehicles with the rear
differential lock, the electronic stability
control function does not operate when
the rear differential lock is activated.
“ESC OFF” switch
The electronic stability control function
is automatically activated when the
ignition switch is turned to the “ON”
position or the operation mode is put in
ON. You can deactivate the system by
pressing down the “ESC OFF” switch
for 3 seconds or longer.
When the electronic stability control
function is deactivated, the
indicator
will turn on. To reactivate the ESC,
momentarily press the “ESC OFF”
switch; the indicator
is turned off.

Driving hints
When extricating the vehicle from mud,
sand or fresh snow with the drive
mode-selector in the “2H”or
“4H”position (Easy Select 4WD) or
“2H”, “4H” or “4HLc” position (Super
Select 4WD II), you may find that
operation of the ESC prevents the
engine speed from increasing in
response to depression of the
accelerator pedal. If this happens and
the vehicle remains stuck as a result,
place the drive mode-selector in the
“4L” position (Easy Select 4WD), “4LLc”
position (Super Select 4WD II), or turn
the active stability control switch OFF.
The vehicle will then be easier to
extricate. (Brake control of the active
traction control function is still working
to prevent wheel spins when ESC OFF
switch “OFF”, “4L” position (Easy Select
4WD) or “4LLc” position (Super Select
4WD II) selected.)NOTE If you continue to press the
“ESC OFF” switch after the electronic
stability control function is turned off,
the “mistaken operation protection
function” will activate and the electronic
stability control function will turn back
on.
NOTE Even if the electronic stability
control function is turned off, it may
activate depending on the vehicle’s
movement.
Active Traction Control function
On slippery surfaces, the active traction
control function prevents the drive
wheels from spinning excessive, thus
helping the vehicle to start moving from
a stopped condition. It also provides
sufficient driving force and steering
performance as the vehicle turns while
pressing the acceleration pedal.
223)
WARNING
207)The brake assist system is not a
device designed to exercise braking force
greater than its capacity. Make sure to
always keep a sufficient distance between
vehicles in front of you without relying too
much on the brake assist system.
208)The ABS cannot prevent accidents. It
is your responsibility to take safety
precautions and to drive carefully.

ECONOMICAL
DRIVING
For economical driving, there are some
technical requirements that have to be
met. The prerequisite for low fuel
consumption is a properly adjusted
engine. In order to achieve longer life of
the vehicle and the most economical
operation, we recommend you to have
the vehicle checked at regular intervals
in accordance with the service
standards.
Fuel economy and generation of
exhaust gas and noise are highly
influenced by personal driving habits as
well as the particular operating
conditions. The following points should
be observed in order to minimize wear
of brakes, tyres and engine as well as
to reduce environmental pollution.
Accelerating and decelerating
Drive according to traffic conditions,
and avoid sudden starts, sudden
acceleration, and sudden braking, as
they will increase fuel consumption.
Shifting
Shift only at an appropriate speed and
engine speed. Always use the highest
shift position possible.
The transfer shift lever or the drive
modeselector should be set to “2H”
when driving 4WD vehicles on normal
roads and express ways to obtain best
possible fuel economy.City traffic
Frequent starting and stopping
increases the average fuel
consumption. Use roads with smooth
traffic flow whenever possible. When
driving on congested roads, avoid use
of a low shift position at high engine
speeds.
Idling
The vehicle consumes fuel even during
idling. Avoid extended idling whenever
possible.
Speed
At higher the vehicle speed, more fuel is
consumed. Avoid driving at full speed.
Even a slight release of the accelerator
pedal will save a significant amount of
fuel.
Tyre inflation pressure
Check the tyre inflation pressures at
regular intervals. Low tyre inflation
pressure increases road resistance and
fuel consumption. In addition, low tyre
pressures adversely affect tyre wear
and driving stability.
Cargo loads
Do not drive with unnecessary articles
in the luggage compartment. Especially
during city driving where frequent
starting and stopping is necessary, the
increased weight of the vehicle will
greatly affect fuel consumption. Also
avoid driving with unnecessary luggage
or carriers, etc., on the roof; theincreased air resistance will increase
fuel consumption.
Cold engine starting
Starting of a cold engine consumes
more fuel. Unnecessary fuel
consumption is also caused by keeping
a hot engine running. After the engine is
started, commence driving as soon as
possible.
Cooler or air conditioning
The use of the air conditioner will
increase the fuel consumption.
