The direction indicators will blink twice
and the internal roof light will
simultaneously come on when the boot
is opened; the roof light will
automatically switch off when the
tailgate is closed (see also "Interior
lights").
If the tailgate is left open, the roof light
will automatically switch off to preserve
the battery charge.Emergency opening from the insideProceed as follows:
❒lower the head restraints and fold the
backrests;
❒identify and remove yellow guard A
fig. 44, which is press-fitted on the lock,
using the screwdriver provided;
❒insert the screwdriver in order to
activate tab B fig. 45, for mechanical
release of the lock.
CLOSINGGrip handle A fig. 46 and lower the
tailgate, pressing next to the lock until it
clicks.
IMPORTANT Before closing the boot
make sure that you have the keys since
the boot is automatically locked.
BOOT INITIALISATIONIMPORTANT If the battery is
disconnected or the protection fuse
blows, the boot opening/closing
mechanism must be reinitialised as
follows:
❒close all the doors and the boot;
❒press the
"FIAT" button on the
remote control;
❒press thebutton on the remote
control.
LOAD COMPARTMENT
Reconfigurable load platform
12)
The vehicle is equipped with a
reconfigurable load platform A, which
makes the boot volume modular.
The load platform can be set to 2
different positions:
❒Floor level (low)fig. 47: allows you
to exploit the entire volume of the boot.
❒Threshold level (high)fig. 48: in
conjunction with the lowering of the rear
seat and front passenger side seat
backrests, permits long objects to be
loaded. It also facilitates loading/
unloading of objects in the boot. It also
allows the space underneath (false
bottom) to be used as a further
compartment for stowing objects which
are more fragile or small.

STARTING THE
ENGINEBefore starting the engine, adjust the
seat, the interior rear view mirrors,
the door mirrors and fasten the seat
belt correctly.
Never press the accelerator pedal for
starting the engine.
If necessary, messages indicating the
starting procedure can be shown on
the display.ENGINE STARTING

Versions with manual gearboxProceed as follows:
❒engage the electric parking brake
and place the gear lever in neutral;
❒bring the ignition device to MAR. On
Diesel versions, warning light
lights up in the instrument panel:
wait for the warning light to switch off;
❒fully depress the clutch pedal without
touching the accelerator;
❒turn the ignition device to AVV and
release it as soon as the engine starts;❒if the engine does not start within 10
seconds, bring the ignition device
back to STOP and wait for 10-15
seconds before repeating the starting
procedure.
❒after the manoeuvre has been
repeated, if the problem persists,
contact a Fiat Dealership.
Versions with automatic
transmissionProceed as follows:
❒engage
the electric parking brake
and set the gear lever to P (Park) or N
(Neutral);
❒fully depress the brake pedal without
touching the accelerator;
❒set the ignition device to AVV;
❒if the engine does not start, bring the
ignition device back to STOP and
wait for 10-15 seconds before
repeating the starting procedure;
❒after the manoeuvre has been
repeated, if the problem persists,
contact a Fiat Dealership.
ENGINE STARTING
F
AILURE
Starting the engine with electronic
key battery (Keyless Go) run down
or flatIf the ignition device does not respond
when the relevant button is pressed the
electronic key battery might be run
down or flat. Therefore, the system
does not detect the presence of the
electronic key on board the vehicle and
displays a dedicated message. In this
case, rest the rounded edge of the
electronic key (the side opposite the
metal insert) on the ignition device and
press the button using the electronic
key. The ignition device is thus
activated and the engine can be
started.
WARNING
103)Do not try to start the engine by
pouring fuel or other flammable fluid inside
the throttle body air intake: this might
damage the engine and injury people
nearby.
104)It is dangerous to run the engine in
enclosed areas. The engine consumes
oxygen and produces carbon dioxide,
carbon monoxide and other toxic gases.
105)The brake servo is not operational
until the engine has been started; therefore
you need to apply much more force than
usual to the brake pedal.

BATTERY
164) 165) 166)63)6)
The battery does not require the
electrolyte to be topped up with distilled
water.
A periodic check carried out at a Fiat
Dealership is, however, necessary
to check efficiency.Replacing the batteryIf necessary, replace the battery with
another original battery with the same
specifications. Follow the battery
Manufacturer’s instructions for
maintenance.USEFUL ADVICE FOR
EXTENDING THE LIFE OF
YOUR BATTERY
Useful advice for extending the life
of your batteryTo avoid draining your battery and
make it last longer, observe the
following instructions:
❒when you park the vehicle, ensure
that the doors, tailgate and bonnet are
closed properly, to prevent any lights
from remaining on inside the passenger
compartment;❒switch off all roof lights inside the
vehicle: the vehicle is however
equipped with a system which switches
all interior lights off automatically;
❒do not keep accessories (e.g. radio,
hazard warning lights, etc.) switched on
for a long time when the engine is not
running;
❒before performing any operation on
the electrical system, disconnect the
negative battery cable.
If, after purchasing the vehicle, you wish
to install electrical accessories which
require permanent electrical supply (e.g.
alarm, etc.) or accessories which
influence the electrical supply
requirements, contact a Fiat Dealership,
whose qualified staff will evaluate the
overall electrical consumption.
64)
IMPORTANT After the battery is
disconnected, the steering must be
initialised. The
warning light on the
instrument panel (or symbol on the
display) switches on to indicate this. To
carry out this procedure, simply turn
the steering wheel all the way from one
end to the other or drive in a straight
line for about a hundred metres.IMPORTANT If the charge level remains
under 50% for a long time, the battery
is damaged by sulphation, reducing
its capacity and efficiency at start-up.
The battery is also more prone to the
risk of freezing (at temperatures of
-10°C). Refer to the "Vehicle inactivity"
paragraph in "Starting and driving"
chapter if the vehicle is left parked for a
long time.
WARNING
156)Never smoke when performing
operations in the engine compartment.
Flammable gases and fumes may be
present and risk igniting.
157)Be very careful when working in the
engine compartment when the engine
is hot: you may get burned.
158)If the engine oil is being topped up,
wait for the engine to cool down before
loosening the filler plug, particularly for
vehicles with aluminium plug (where
provided). CAUTION: risk of burns!
159)The cooling system is pressurised. If
the cap needs replacing, do so with
another original or the effectiveness of the
system may be compromised. Do not
remove the cap from the reservoir when
the engine is hot: danger of scalding.
