OPERATING YOUR VEHICLE
ENGINE BREAK-IN RECOMMENDATIONS
A long break-in period is not required for the engine and drivetrain (transmission and
axle) in your vehicle.
Drive moderately during the first 300 miles (500 km). After the initial 60 miles (100 km),
speeds up to 50 or 55 mph (80 or 90 km/h) are desirable.
While cruising, brief full-throttle acceleration within the limits of local traffic laws contrib-
utes to a good break-in. Wide-open throttle acceleration in low gear can be detrimental
and should be avoided.
The engine oil installed in the engine at the factory is a high-quality energy conserving type
lubricant. Oil changes should be consistent with anticipated climate conditions under which ve-
hicle operations will occur. Refer to "Maintenance Procedures" in "Maintaining Your Vehicle" in
your Owner' s Manual on www.fiatusa.com/en/owners/manuals for further details.
NOTE:
A new engine may consume some oil during its first few thousand miles (kilometers) of
operation. This should be considered a normal part of the break-in and not interpreted
as an indication of an engine problem or malfunction.
Never use Non-Detergent Oil or Straight Mineral Oil in the engine or damage may result.
TURN SIGNAL/LIGHTS/HIGH BEAM LEVER
The multifunction lever, located on the left side of the steering wheel, controls the opera-
tion of the headlights, headlight high beams, lane change assist and turn signals.
NOTE:
The external lights can only be turned on with the ignition in the ON/RUN position.
Turn Signals
Move the multifunction lever up or down and
the arrows on each side of the instrument
cluster display will flash to show proper op-
eration of the front and rear turn signal lights.
NOTE:
If either light remains on and does not
flash, or there is a very fast flash rate,
check for a defective outside light bulb.
If an indicator fails to light when the lever
is moved, it would suggest that the indica-
tor bulb is defective.
