2017 FIAT FIORINO roof

lower the bonnet to approximately 20 centimetres
from the engine compartment and let it drop.
Make sure that the bonnet is completely closed
and not only fastened by the safety catch by trying
to open it. If it is not perfectly closed, do not try
to press the bonnet lid down but open it and
repeat the procedure.
IMPORTANT A plate summarising the described
bonnet opening/closing operations is affixed under
the bonnet (see fig. 97).
WARNING
For safety reasons, the bonnet must
always be perfectly closed while
travelling. Make sure that the bonnet is
perfectly closed and that the lock is engaged. If
you discover during travel that the lock is not
fully engaged, stop immediately and close
the bonnet in the correct manner.

ROOF RAILS
(for versions/markets, where provided)
On some versions, the vehicle has two rails fig. 99
which, with the addition of special accessories,
can be used to carry various objects (e.g. skis,
surfboards, etc.).
WARNING
Respect the regulations in force
concerning maximum clearance.
Distribute the load evenly and be careful
to side winds when driving.
WARNING
After travelling for a short distance,
check that the fastening screws are

Projecting loads on the roof of the car
may interfere with the correct operation
of the sensor. Before starting make sure
the load is correctly positioned, in order not to
cover the sensor operating range.
If the windscreen must be replaced due to
scratches, chipping or breakage, contact
exclusively a Fiat Dealership. Do not
replace the windscreen on your own, risk of
malfunction! It is advisable to replace the
windscreen if it is damaged in the laser sensor
area.
Do not tamper nor operate on the laser
sensor. Do not close the openings in the
aesthetic cover located under the interior
rear view mirror. In the event of a sensor failure,
contact a Fiat Dealership.
If you are driving on roads close to trees
with protruding branches it is advisable to
deactivate the system to prevent the
branches at the height of the bonnet or the
windscreen from interfering with the system.
Do not cover the operating range of the
sensor with stickers or other objects.
Also pay attention to other objects on the
bonnet (e.g. a layer of snow) and make sure they
do not interfere with the light emitted by the
laser.
If a trailer or a vehicle is towed the system
must be deactivated with the display
Setup Menu.
If the system signals a loss of pressure on
a specific tyre, it is recommended to
check the pressure on all four tyres.

RADIO TRANSMITTERS AND CELLULAR
PHONES
Transceiver apparatus (e.g. mobile phones, CB radios
etc.) should not be used inside the vehicle unless a
separate antenna is mounted on the roof.
IMPORTANT The use of such devices inside the
passenger compartment (without an external
antenna) may, in addition to potential damage to the
health of the passengers, cause malfunctions in the
vehicle electronic systems, compromising the safety
of the vehicle.
In addition, the transmission and reception of these
devices may be affected by the shielding effect of
the vehicle body.
With regard to EC-approved mobile phones (GSM,
GPRS, UMTS), you should adhere strictly to the
instructions provided by the mobile phone
manufacturer.REFUELLING THE VEHICLE
PETROL ENGINES
Use unleaded petrol only, with octane number
(R.O.N.) not lower than 95.
IMPORTANT For the correct operation of the
engine, exclusively use metallic additive free fuels,
that can be recognised by the description “Metallic
Additive Free”. Furthermore, using even small
quantities of fuels with metallic additives, which can
be recognised by the description “Containing
metallic additive”, can irreparably damage the
catalytic converter.
IMPORTANT An inefficient catalytic converter leads
to harmful exhaust emissions, thus contributing to
air pollution.
IMPORTANT Never use leaded petrol, even in small
amounts or in an emergency, as this would damage
the catalytic converter beyond repair.
DIESEL ENGINES
Operation at low temperatures
If the outside temperature is very low, the diesel
thickens due to the formation of paraffin clots with
consequent defective operation of the fuel supply
system.
In order to avoid these problems, different types of
diesel are distributed according to the season:

Do not drive with your hand resting on
the gear lever as the force exerted, even if
slight , could lead over time to premature
wear of the gearbox internal components.The
clutch pedal should be used only for gear
changes. Do not drive with your foot resting on
the clutch pedal, however slightly.The electronic
clutch control could cut in by interpreting the
incorrect driving style as a fault (for versions/
markets, where provided).SAVING FUEL
Some useful tips are given below for fuel saving and
reducing harmful emissions of CO2 and other
pollutants (nitrogen oxides, unburnt hydrocarbons,
Particulate Matter (PM) etc.).
GENERAL CONSIDERATIONS
The general factors that affect fuel consumption are
listed below.
Vehicle maintenance
Have checks and adjustments carried out in
accordance with the “Scheduled Servicing Plan”.
Ty r e s
Check the tyre pressure at least once every four
weeks: if the pressure is too low, consumption levels
increase as resistance to rolling is higher.
Unnecessary loads
Do not travel with an overloaded boot. The weight
of the vehicle (especially when driving in town)
and its trim greatly affect fuel consumption
and stability.
Roof rack/ski rack
Remove the roof rack or the ski rack from the roof
after use. These accessories reduce the aerodynamic
coefficient of the vehicle and have a negative effect

VEHICLE BODY AND UNDERBODY
WARRANTY
Your vehicle is covered by warranty against
perforation due to rust of any original element of the
structure or body.
For the general terms of this warranty, refer to your
Warranty Booklet.ADVICE FOR PRESERVING THE
BODYWORK
Paint
Paintwork does not only serve an aesthetic purpose,
but also protects the underlying sheet metal.
Touch up abrasions and scratches immediately to
prevent the formation of rust. Use only original paint
products for touch-ups (see “Bodywork paint
identification plate” in the “Technical specifications”
section).
Normal care for paintwork consists of washing the
car; how often depends on the conditions and
environment where the car is used.
For example, it is advisable to wash the vehicle more
often in areas with high atmospheric pollution or if
you are travelling on roads sprinkled with salt.
To wash the vehicle properly, proceed as follows:
wash the body using a low pressure jet of water;
wipe a sponge with a slightly soapy solution over
the bodywork, frequently rinsing with the sponge;
rinse well with water and dry with a jet of air or a
chamois leather.
If you put the vehicle through a car wash, follow
these recommendations:
remove the antenna from the roof so it does not
get damaged;
the car wash should use water added to a soapy
solution;
