Headlamps
NOTE Do not leave the lamps on for a
long time while the engine is stationary
(not running). A run-down battery could
result.
NOTE When it rains, or when the
vehicle has been washed, the inside of
the lens sometimes becomes foggy, but
this 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
checked.
NOTE The bulbs of high intensity
discharge headlamps (if so equipped)
have the following characteristics:
While the headlamps are used, the
light will gradually become a
bluish-white colour.
The life of a bulb becomes shorter as
it is repeatedly turned on and off. When
the bulb approaches the end of its life,
the brightness may decrease, the bulb
may flicker, and the light may become
reddish in colour. If this occurs, have
the vehicle inspected by a Fiat
Dealership

operated. Also, when you move the
lever to (B) slightly then release it, the
turn-signal lamps and indicator lamp in
the instrument cluster will flash three
times.
NOTE If the lamp flashes unusually
quickly, the bulb in a turn-signal lamp
may have burned out. We recommend
you to have the vehicle inspected.
It is possible to activate the following
functions:
Flashing of the turn-signal lamps
when the lever is operated with the
ignition switch or the operation mode is
in ACC
The turn-signal lamps 3-flash
function for lane changes can be

switch position or the operation mode.
Push the switch to turn on the hazard
warning flashers, all turn signal lamps
flash continuously. To turn them off,
push the switch again.
NOTE On vehicles equipped with the
emergency brake system, while the
hazard warning lamps are blinking due
to having manually pushed the switch,
the emergency brake system does not
operate. Refer to “Emergency brake
system”.
FOG LAMP SWITCH
(where provided)
Front fog lamp switch
The front fog lamps can be operated
while the headlamps or tail lamps are
on. Turn the knob in the “ON” direction
to turn on the front fog lamps. An
indicator lamp in the instrument cluster
will also come on. Turn the knob in the
“OFF” direction to turn off the front fog
lamps. The knob will automatically
return to its original position when you
release it.

GETTING TO KNOW YOUR VEHICLE
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.
148) 149)
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.

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.
