Do not fit additional objects onto the rear
parcel shelf or tailgate (speakers,
spoilers, etc .), except when contemplated
by the manufacturer, to ensure the correct
operation of the side gas shock absorbers of the
tailgate itself.
WARNING
Never exceed the maximum allowed
load in the luggage compar tment (see
the "Technical data" chapter). Also make sure
that the objects you placed in the luggage
compar tment have been properly secured, to
avoid them from being projected forward
following sudden braking, causing injury to
passengers.
WARNING
When travelling, do not put any object
on the rear parcel shelf because they
can injure passengers in the event of an
accident or sudden braking.
EXTENDING THE LUGGAGE
COMPARTMENT
The luggage compartment can be partially (1/3 or
2/3) or totally extended by splitting the rear seat.

TPMS (Tyre Pressure Monitoring
System)(for versions/markets, where provided)
The car may be fitted with a tyre pressure
monitoring system (TPMS), which informs the driver
of the tyre inflation status via the "Check tyre
pressure" and "Low tyre pressure" messages on the
display. For a detailed description of the two
messages, see the "Warning lights and messages"
chapter.
The system comprises a radio-frequency transmitter
fitted to each wheel (on the wheel rim inside the
tyre), which is able to send information on the tyre
inflation pressure of each wheel to the control unit.
WARNING
The presence of the TPMS does not
permit the driver to neglect regular
checking of the pressure of the tyres and the
spare wheel (see "Wheels" in the "Maintenance
and care" chapter).
WARNING
Sensor malfunctioning fault indications are not stored
and will therefore not be displayed after the engine
has been switched off and then on again. If the
fault conditions persist, the control unit will send the
relative indications to the instrument panel only
after the vehicle has been in motion for a short time.Tyre pressure must be checked with tyres rested and
cold. Should it become necessary for whatever
reason to check pressure with warm tyres, do not
reduce pressure even though it is higher than the
prescribed value, but repeat the check when tyres
are cold (see "Wheels" in the "Technical data"
chapter).
The TPMS is not able to warn you of sudden tyre
pressure losses (for example when a tyre bursts). In
this case, stop the car, braking with caution and
avoiding abrupt steering.
Particularly strong radio-frequency interference may
cause the TPMS to function incorrectly. This
condition is indicated to the driver by a warning light
or symbol lighting up on the instrument panel
together with a dedicated message. The message will
disappear automatically as soon as the radio-
frequency interference ceases to affect the system.
The TPMS requires the use of specific equipment.
Contact a Fiat Dealership to find out which
accessories are compatible with the system (wheels,
hub caps, etc.). Using other accessories may hinder
the normal operation of the system. Given the
unique valve specifications, only use Fiat-approved
sealers to repair the tyres. The use of other sealers
may prevent the normal operation of the system.

PROTECTING THE ENVIRONMENTThe following devices are used for reducing diesel
fuel engine emissions:
❒oxidising catalytic converter
❒exhaust gas recirculation system (EGR)
❒particulate filter (DPF).
WARNING
Under normal operating conditions, the
silencer becomes very hot .Therefore
do not park the car on flammable materials
(grass, dry leaves, pine needles, etc .): fire
hazard.
DIESEL PARTICULATE FILTER (DPF)
(for versions/markets, where provided)
The Diesel Particulate Filter is a mechanical filter,
integral with the exhaust system, that physically traps
particulates present in the exhaust gases of diesel
engines. The diesel particulate filter has been
adopted to eliminate almost all particulates in
compliance with current / future legal regulations.
During normal use of the vehicle, the engine control
unit records a set of data (e.g.: travel time, type of
route, temperatures, etc.) and it will then calculate
how much particulate has been trapped by the filter.Since this filter physically traps particulate, it should
be regenerated (cleaned) at regular intervals by
burning the carbon particles. The regeneration
procedure is controlled automatically by the engine
management control unit according to the filter
conditions and vehicle use conditions. There may be
a limited increase in the engine speed during the
regeneration, a limited increase in fumes and high
temperatures at the exhaust. These are not faults;
they do not impair vehicle performance or damage
the environment.
Particulate filter clogged
If the warning light switches on on the instrument
panel (along with the message on the display) refer
to the "Warning lights and messages" chapter.

When over 1.50 m in height, from the point of view
of restraint systems, children are considered as
adults and wear seat belts normally.
In Europe the characteristics of children restraint
systems are ruled by the regulation ECE-R44, dividing
them into five weight groups:Group Weight groups
Group 0 up to 10 kg of weight
Group 0+ up to 13 kg of weight
Group 1 9-18 kg in weight
Group 2 15-25 kg in weight
Group 3 22-36 kg of weightAll child restraint devices must bear the certification
data, together with the control mark, on a label
solidly fixed to the seat which must never be
removed.
Lineaccessori Fiat offers child restraint systems for
each weight group. These devices are recommended
having been specifically designed for Fiat cars.
WARNING
SEVERE DANGER.When an active
passenger airbag is fitted, DO NOT
install rear facing child restraint systems
on the front seat . Deployment of the
airbag in an accident could cause fatal injuries
to the child regardless of the severity of the
impact . It is advisable to always carr y children
in a child restraint system on the rear seat ,
which is the most protected position in the
event of a collision.
WARNING
On the sun visor there is a label with
suitable symbols reminding the user that
it is compulsory to deactivate the airbag if a
rear facing child restraint system is fitted.
Always comply with the instructions on the
passenger's side sun visor (see the "Front
airbag" paragraph).
WARNING
Do not move the front or rear seat if a
child is seated on it or on the dedicated
child restraint system.
