Do not travel with the
hatchback open: the ex-
haust fumes could enter
the vehicle.TAILGATE EMERGENCY
OPENING fig. 154
To unlock the tailgate in the event of
an electric failure, proceed as follows:
– introduce a screw driver into hole
A from inside the car
– to unlock the latch mechanically,
turn it on the left.
TRANSPORTING LUGGAGE
IMPORTANTFor vehicle versions
without Xenon lights travelling at night
with the luggage compartment loaded
it is necessary to adjust the dipped
beam headlight position (see “Head-
lamps” paragraph in this chapter).When loading the lug-
gage compartment, do
not exceed the permitted
weight limits (see “Technical
specifications” chapter). Also en-
sure that any objects in the lug-
gage compartment are firmly se-
cured and that they cannot be
thrown forward causing injury to
passengers if the vehicle brakes
suddenly.
Heavy loads which are
not securely anchored
could seriously injure pas-
sengers in the event of an acci-
dent. The addition of objects
(spoilers, etc.) on the rear
shelf or boot lid, except
those envisaged by the manufac-
turer, may prevent the tailgate
from working properly.

If you need to carry a
petrol can when travelling
in areas in which refu-
elling is problematic, attain to the
legislation in force. Only use a ho-
mologated can and fasten it suit-
ably to the load. Even given these
precautions, the risk of fire in the
event of an accident is high.RIGID PARCEL-SHELF

The rigid parcel-shelf is fitted with an
umbrella-shaped pocket.
It is possible to extend the luggage
compartment by removing the rigid
parcel-shelf.
To remove the parcel-shelf, unfasten
it from side retainers Eand pull it to-
wards the car back.SLIDING LUGGAGE COVER

IN AN EMERGENCY
154
Do not carry out this
procedure if you lack ex-
perience; if it is not done
correctly it can cause very in-
tense electrical discharges. In ad-
dition, the fluid contained in the
battery is poisonous and corro-
sive. Avoid contact with skin and
eyes. You are also advised not to
put naked flames or lighted cig-
arettes near the battery and not
to cause sparks.
Remember that until
the engine has started the
brake booster and elec-
trical power steering systems will
not work and a greater effort will
therefore be required to press
the brake pedal or turn the steer-
ing wheel.IF A TYRE
IS PUNCTURED
Certain versions (for versions/ mar-
kets, where provided) are fitted with
wheel identification and tyre inflation
sensors; pressure loss is signalled to
the driver in the following way:
pressure loss- the infotelematic
CONNECT system displays the relat-
ed message and a “gong” is emitted by
the system. Contact a Fiat Dealer-
ship;
punctured tyre- warning light
“STOP” comes on and the in-
fotelematic CONNECT system dis-
plays the related message together
with 3 consecutive “gong” sounds.
Change the wheel in the following
way.
The system can also display a dedi-
cated message in the event it should
not be able to detect the tyre pres-
sure. Under no circumstances
should a battery charger
be used to start the en-
gine: it could damage the elec-
tronic systems and in particular
the ignition and injection control
units.
BUMP STARTING
Do not bump start by
pushing, towing or coast-
ing downhill. This way of
starting could cause a
rush of fuel into the catalytic con-
verter and damage it beyond re-
pair.

BATTERY
The battery, placed in a scuttle on
the floor in front of the passenger’s
seat, is of the “Limited Maintenance”
type. Under normal conditions it will
not need to be topped up with distilled
water.
REPLACING THE BATTERY
If required, replace the battery with
a genuine spare part having the same
specifications. If a battery with differ-
ent specifications is fitted, the service
intervals given in the Service Schedule
in this section will no longer be valid.
Refer to the instructions provide by
the battery manufacturer.Batteries contain sub-
stances that are very
harmful for the environ-
ment. You are advised to have
the battery changed at a Fiat
Dealership, which is properly
equipped for disposing of used
batteries respecting nature and
the law.
IMPORTANTMake sure the bat-
tery is correctly secured from a me-
chanical point view when removing
and refitting it.CHECKING THE BATTERY
FLUID LEVEL (electrolyte)
Check and top up the electrolyte lev-
el, if needed, in accordance with the
Service Schedule contained in this
chapter. Have this operation carried
out at a Fiat Dealership.
The liquid in the battery
is poisonous and corro-
sive. Avoid contact with
eyes and skin. Do not bring naked
flames or possible sources of
sparks near to the battery: risk of
fire and explosion.
