FOOD BOX (where prvided)
The food box fitted on Fiat Multipla has a capacity of 8 litres which means
that it can contain up to three one and a half litre bottles, equal to max.
4.5 kg distributed between the two boxes.
The box, that can be fitted either in front or rear the central seat, is
insulated and can be used to cool or warm up the food box according to
your needs. When using for cooling, a temperature difference of
approximately 20°C can be achieved between the temperature inside the
box and that of the passenger compartment after approximately one
hour of operation. The lowest possible temperature that can be reached
in any case is not lower than 8-10°C.
To prevent draining the battery charge, the system is connected to the
electrical system via the ignition key. As a result, the box will only work
when the engine is running.
You should remove perishables from the box if you leave the car parked
for longer than two hours.
Switch to position 1 = to warm; position 2 = to cool.
If another food box is fitted, you can connect it to the 12 V outlet in the
boot using the coil cable provided for the purpose. You are
recommended to connect it only if strictly necessary in order to limit
electric absorption.

are obstructions along the glass; improper use of the sunroof can be dangerous.
Before and during sunroof activation, always make sure there is no danger of
injury to passengers caused by the sunroof movement or by personal belongings
being dragged or knocked by the roof. Only open or close the sunroof with the car
stationary. Do not open the sunroof if there is snow or ice on it: it could be damaged.

IMPORTANT If one of the doors is not perfectly closed, or there is a
system fault, the central locking device will not work and after 8 or 9
attempts in rapid succession the device will cut out for about 30 seconds.
During these 30 seconds the doors can be locked or unlocked manually,
without involving the electric system. After 30 seconds the central
system is ready to receive commands again. If the reason for the
malfunction has been removed, the device will start to work properly
again. If not it will cut out once more.
IMPORTANT If one or both rear doors are open and the remote
control (or the key in the door lock) is operated, the central door
locking system will lock all the doors lowering the door sill buttons.
When closing the open doors they will lock.
CHILD SAFETY DEVICE
This prevents the rear doors from being opened from the inside.
Insert the tip of the ignition key into (F) and turn it:
Position 1 - device off.
Position 2 - device on.

EOBD SYSTEM
The European On Board Diagnostic system (EOBD) fitted to engine and
automatic transmission (where provided) electronic control units allows
monitoring and warning of any malfunction to the electronic systems that
could increase exhaust emissions.
The objective is:
❒To keep system efficiency under control
❒Warn when a fault causes emission levels to increase
❒Warn of the need to replace deteriorated components
This diagnostic system indicates the presence of deteriorated
components or system malfunctioning (see section “Warning lights and
Messages”) by the turning on of the instrument panel warning light
U
(together with the relevant message on the multifunction display, where
provided).
NOTE: The car is provided with a diagnostic connector that can be
interfaced with appropriate tools, which makes it possible to read the
error codes stored in the control units, together with a series of specific
parameters for engine operation and diagnosis.
This test can also be performed by traffic controller agents.
IMPORTANT: After a servicing operation at Fiat Dealership aimed to
eliminate malfunctioning connected to the EOBD system, in order to
check the system thoroughly it could be required to run a bench test
and, if necessary, road tests which may also call for a long journey.

If turning the ignition key to MAR, the warning light Udoes not turn on or if, while travelling it
turns on glowing steadily or flashing (together with the message on the multifunction display),
contact Fiat Dealership as soon as possible. Warning light
Uoperation can be checked by means
of special equipment by traffic controller agents. Always comply with the traffic regulations in force
in the country where you are travelling.
