The Freemont (2011 to 2016) is the Fiat version of the Dodge Journey, sold in Europe and other markets. It uses a 2.0-liter diesel, a 2.4-liter petrol or the 3.6-liter V6.
Your 2012 Fiat Freemont is from the Freemont generation, which covers model years 2011–2016. Most procedures are shared with the other years of this generation, but engines, options and wiring changed from year to year, so the manual is made for the 2012 model year.
Check the model year on your VIN: on a 2012 vehicle the 10th character of the 17-digit VIN is “C”. Vehicles built for North America always carry the model year in that position; on some European or Australian vehicles it may be left unused, so in that case go by the registration papers or the build plate.
At about 14 years old, a 2012 vehicle often needs work on the cooling system, timing components, suspension bushings, motor mounts and corroded electrical connectors, all jobs where the exact factory procedure and torque values save time.
Same generation: 2011 Fiat Freemont, 2013 Fiat Freemont, 2014 Fiat Freemont, 2015 Fiat Freemont, 2016 Fiat Freemont.
All Fiat Freemont model years: 2011 · 2012 · 2013 · 2014 · 2015 · 2016
No 2012 Fiat Freemont was sold in the United States or Canada. See the 2012 Dodge Journey.
