AND CONTROLS
When driving the mirrors shall always be in position (1).
As the door mirrors are curved, they may slightly alter the perception of distance. The fixed part of the right-hand mirror reflects the
rear right wheel when parking.
This can only be adjusted with the ignition key at MAR.
Use switch (C) to select the mirror (left, neutral, right)
for adjustment.
Press any of the four directions on switch (D) located
on the ceiling light.
Switch (E) electrically controls the movement of the
folding mirrors from position 1 to position 2.
Electrically folding mirrors have a demisting device that
comes on automatically when rear window heating is
turned on.The mirrors can tilt in both directions in the event of a
collision.
To reset the mirror in the correct position, first set it
in the fully closed position by keeping the control
pressed until the mirror stops, then open it.
If the mirror is moved out of its position manually, it is
possible to set it back to the correct position
manually, although it is preferable to move it
electrically. If the mirror is moved out of its position
electrically, it is COMPULSORY to set it back
electrically to its correct position.
If the open mirror makes it difficult to pass through
narrow gaps, fold it from position 1 to position 2.

PRETENSIONERS
To increase the efficiency of the front seat belts, Fiat Multipla is fitted
with pretensioners on all the three front seats.
Do not place objects under the centre seat as this could damage the
pretensioner system. These devices “feel” through a sensor, that a
violent crash is in progress and rewind the seat belts a few centimetres.
In this way they ensure that the seat belt adheres perfectly to the wearer
before the restraining action begins. The seat belt locks to indicate that
the device has intervened; the seat belt cannot be drawn back up even
when guiding it manually.
WARNINGThe pretensioner can only be used once. After a collision that has triggered it, have
it replaced at a Fiat Dealership. Pretensioner validity is indicated on the label in
the lower oddment compartment: the pretensioners should be replaced at a Fiat
Dealership as this date approaches.
Operations which lead to knocks, vibrations or localised heating (over 100°C for a maximum of 6
hours) in the area around the pretensioners may cause damage or trigger them. These devices are
not affected by vibrations caused by irregularities of the road surface or low obstacles such as kerbs,
etc. Contact a Fiat Dealership for any assistance.
