Safety mechanism (driver’s window
and Type 2 only)
66) 67) 68) 69) 70)
When the door window is automatically
closed by pulling up the switch fully, if a
hand or head is trapped in the closing
window, it will lower automatically.
Nonetheless, make sure that nobody
puts their head or hand out of the
window when closing the driver’s door
window. The lowered window will
become operational after a few
seconds.
NOTE The safety mechanism can be
activated if the driving conditions or
other circumstances cause the driver’s
door window to be subjected to a
physical shock similar to that caused by
a trapped hand or head.
WARNING
61)Incorrect use of the electric windows
may be dangerous. Before and during
operation, always check that nobody is
exposed to the risk of being injured either
directly by the moving window or through
objects getting caught or by being hit.
When leaving the vehicle, always remove
the key from the ignition switch to avoid the
risk of injury to anyone remaining in the car
due to accidental operation of the electric
windows.
62)Before operating the electric window
control, make sure that nothing is capable
of being trapped (head, hand, finger, etc.).63)Never leave the vehicle without
removing the key. Never leave a child (or
other person who might not be capable of
safe operation of the electric window
control) in the vehicle alone.
64)The child may tamper with the switch
at the risk of its hands or head being
trapped in the window.
65)A child may tamper with the switch at
the risk of its hands or head being trapped
in the window. When driving with a child in
the vehicle, please press the window lock
switch to disable the passenger’s switches.
66)If the battery terminals are
disconnected or the fuse for electric
window is replaced, the safety mechanism
will be cancelled. If a hand or head got
trapped, a serious injury could result.
67)The safety mechanism is cancelled just
before the window is fully closed. This
allows the window to close completely.
Therefore be especially careful that no
fingers are trapped in the window.
68)The safety mechanism is deactivated
while the switch is pulled up. Therefore be
especially careful that fingers are not
trapped in the door window opening.
69)If the safety mechanism is activated
five or more times in a row, the safety
mechanism will be cancelled and the door
window will not close correctly. In such a
case, the following procedure should be
implemented to rectify this situation. If the
window is open, repeatedly raise the
driver’s door window switch until that
window has been fully closed. Following
this, release the switch, raise the switch
once again and hold it in this condition for
at least 1 second, then release it. You
should now be able to operate in the
normal way.70)If the battery terminals are
disconnected or the fuse for electric
window is replaced, the safety mechanism
will be cancelled and the door window will
not automatically open/close completely. If
the window is open, repeatedly raise the
driver’s door window switch until the
window has been fully closed. Following
this, release the switch, raise the switch
once again and hold it in this condition for
at least 1 second, then release it. You
should now be able to operate the driver’s
door window in the normal way.

Cargo loads precautions
When loading luggage, be careful to the
following.
Stow cargo and luggage in the cargo
area whenever possible.
Distribute cargo or luggage evenly
not to be unbalanced in weight of a
load.
Do not place cargo or luggage on
the instrument panel. Also, do not stack
up cargo or luggage on the front
passenger’s seat or the rear seat.
Having the driver’s vision blocked, and
your cargo being thrown inside the
cabin if you suddenly have to brake can
cause a serious accident or injury.
WARNING
77)If a vehicle is parked on a very steep
gradient or with a side gradient, opening
the rear door or side door could cause any
unsecured items to emerge suddenly.
78)If you wish to carry a reserve of petrol
in a can, observe the legal restrictions and
only use a can that is type-approved and
properly secured to the load anchorage
eyebolts. Anyway, by doing so, you
increase the risk of fire in the event of an
accident with your vehicle.

5. To close, turn the fuel cap slowly
clockwise until you hear clicking
sounds, then gently push the fuel tank
filler door closed.
WARNING
86)When handling fuel, comply with the
safety regulations displayed by garages
and filling stations.
87)Fuel is highly flammable and explosive.
You could be burned or seriously injured
when handling it. When refueling your
vehicle, always turn the engine off and
keep away from flames, sparks and
smoking materials. Always handle fuel in
well ventilated outdoor areas.
88)Before removing the fuel cap, be sure
to get rid of your body’s static electricity by
touching a metal part of the vehicle or fuel
pump. Any static electricity on your body
could create a spark that ignites fuel vapor.
89)Perform the whole refueling process
(opening the fuel tank filler door, removing
the fuel cap, etc.) by yourself. Do not let
any other person come near the fuel tank
filler. If you allowed a person to help you
and that person was carrying static
electricity, fuel vapor could be ignited.
90)Do not move away from the fuel tank
filler until refueling is finished. If you moved
away and did something else (for example,
sitting on a seat) part-way through the
refueling process, you could pick up a
fresh charge of static electricity.
91)Be careful not to inhale fuel vapor. Fuel
contains toxic substances.92)Keep the doors and windows closed
while refueling the vehicle. If they were
open, fuel vapor could get into the cabin.
93)If the fuel cap must be replaced, use
only a Fiat genuine part.
94)Since the fuel system may be under
pressure, remove the fuel cap slowly. This
relieves any pressure or vacuum that might
have built up in the fuel tank. If you hear a
hissing sound, wait until it stops before
removing the cap. Otherwise, fuel may
spray out, injuring you or others.
95)Do not apply any object/plug to the
end of the filler which is not provided for
the car. The use of non-compliant
objects/plugs could cause a pressure
increase inside the tank, resulting in
dangerous situations.
96)Do not use a mobile phone near the
refuelling pump: risk of fire.
97)Do not tilt the gun.

follow these procedures:
Parking on a downhill slope
Turn the front wheels towards the kerb
and move the vehicle forward until the
kerb side wheel gently touches the
kerb.
On vehicles equipped with M/T, apply
the parking brake and place the
gearshift lever into the “R” (Reverse)
position.
On vehicles equipped with A/T, apply
