the key in the boot lock anticlockwise
as
shown in fig. 74/a. The boot lock can be
released from inside the vehicle
operating
on lever A-fig.73 located on driver side
seat or pressing push-button (where pro-
vided)
B-fig.74/b.BOOT CLOSING

Do not fit additional objects
onto the rear window shelf or
tailgate (speakers, spoilers,
etc .) except when contem-
plated by the manufacturer to ensure
the correct operation of the side gas
shock absorbers of the tailgate itself.
Never exceed the maximum
allowed load in the boot (see
“Technical Specifications”). Make
sure that the objects are well
arranged in the boot so that they will
not be projected forwards following
sudden braking.
WARNING
Never travel with objects on
the rear window shelf: they
can cause injury to passengers in
the event of an accident or sudden
braking.

IMPORTANT The front air bags may be
deployed if the car is subject to heavy kno-
cks or accidents involving the underbody
area, such as for example violent shocks,
against steps, kerbs of low obstacles, fall-
ing of the car in big holes or sags in the
road.
IMPORTANT A small amount of dust will
be rele ase d when the airb ags are de-
ployed. The dust is not harmful and does
not indicate the beginning of a fire. Fur-
thermore, the surface of the deployed bag
and the interior of the car may be covered
in a dusty residue: this dust may irritate
the skin and the eyes. Wash with mild
soap and water in the event of exposure.
The expiration date of the explosive
charge and the clock wire are shown on a
specific label contained in the oddment
compartment. Go to a Fiat Dealership
to have the devices replaced when
the expiration date approaches.
IMPORTANT Should an accident occur in
which any of the safety devices is activat-
ed, take the car to a Fiat Dealership
to have the devices activated replaced
and to have the system checked.
All inspection, repair and replacement op-
erations concerning the air bags must on-
ly be carried out c/o Fiat Dealership.If you are having the car scrapped, have
the air bag system deactivated at a Fiat
Deal ers hi p firs t. If the car chang es
ownership, the new owner must be info-
rmed of the meth od of us e of ai r ba gs
and the above warnings and also be gi-
ven this “Owner’s Handbook”.
IMPORTANT Pretensioners, front airbags
are deployed according to different logics
on the basic of the type of collision. Non
depl oym ent of one of the de vi ces does
not therefore indicate a system fault.
Never rest head, arms and
elbows on the door, on the
windows area to prevent possible in-
juries during inflation phase.
WARNING
Never lean head, arms and
elbows out of window.
WARNING
GENERAL WARNINGS
If when turning the key to
MAR the warning light
does not turn on or if it stays on when
travelling (together with the message
on the multifunctional display, where
provided) there could be a failure in
safety systems; in this event air bags
or pretensioners could not trigger in
case of impact or, in a minor number
of cases, they could trigger acciden-
tally. Contact Fiat Dealership im-
mediately to have the system checked.
WARNING
Do not cover the backrest of
front and rear sea ts with
trims or covers that are not suitable
to be used with side bags.
WARNING
Never travel with objects on
your lap , in front of your
chest or with a pipe, pencil, etc. be-
tween your lips; injury may result in
the event of the air bag being trig -
gered.

Electric devices
Use electric devices only for the amount
of time needed. Rear heated window, ad-
ditional headlights, windscreen wipers and
heater fan need a considerable amount of
energy, therefore increasing the require-
ment of current increases fuel consump-
tion (up to +25% in the urban cycle).
Climate control
The climate control system requires high-
er fue l consumptio n (up to +20% in av-
erage): use the air vents when the exter-
nal temperature allows to.
Spoilers
The use of non-c erti fied aerodynamic
item s may advers ely affe ct air drag and
consumption levels.DRIVING STYLE
Starting
Do not warm the engine up with the car
standing: the engine warms up very slow-
ly in these condition s, increasing con-
sumption and emissions. It is advisable to
start off immediately and slowly keeping
the engine speed down: the engine will
warm up much faster this way.
Unnecessary actions
Avoid revving up when starting at traffic
lights or before stopping the engine. The
latter action, like doubling the clutch, is un-
necessary and causes increase of con-
sumption and pollution.
Gear selection
Use a higher gear as soon as traffic and
road conditions allow. Using a low gear
for faster acceleration will increase con-
sumption.
In the same way improper use of a high
gear increases consumption, emissions an
engine wear.CONTAINING
RUNNING COSTS
Here are some suggestions which may
help you to keep the running costs of your
car down and lower the amount of toxic
emissions released into the atmosphere.
GENERAL CONSIDERATIONS
Car maintenance
Have checks and adjustments carried out
in accordance with the “Service schedule”.
Ty r e s
Check tyre pressure regularly at least
once ever y four weeks: excessively low
pressure will increase consumption be-
cause rolling resistance will be higher.
Unnecessary loads
Do not travel with too much luggage
stowed in the boot. The weight of the car
(especially when driving in town) and its
trim greatly affects consumption and sta-
bility.

CAR INACTIVITY
If the car is to be left inactive for longer
than a month, the following precautions
should be noted:
park the car in covered, dry and if pos-
sible well-ventilated premises;
engage a gear;
check that the handbrake is not en-
gaged;
disconnect the negative battery termi-
nal and check battery charge (see para-
graph “Charge level check”
in chapter
“Maintenance and care”). Repeat this
check once every three months dur-
ing storage. Recharge the battery if nec-
essary (see paragraph “If the battery is
flat” in chapter “In an emergency”);
clean and protect the painted parts us-
ing protective wax;
clean and protect the shiny metal parts
using special compounds readily avail-
able;
sprinkle talcum powder on the rubber
windscreen and rear window wiper
blades and lift them off the glass;
slightly open the windows;
cover the car with a fabric or perfo-
rated plastic terrapin. Do not use com-
pact plastic sheets which do
not allow
humidity to evaporate from the surface
of the car;
inflate tyres to +0.5 bar above the nor-
mal specified pressure and check it at
intervals;
if you don’t disconnect the battery from
the electric system, check its charge
every month (see paragraph “Charge
level check” in chapter “Maintenance
and care”);
recharge the battery if necessary (see
paragraph “If the battery is flat” in chap-
ter “In an emergency”);
do not drain the engine cooling system.
IMPORTANT Where relevant, switch off
the car alarm with the remote control.
