2017 FIAT FULLBACK lock

82)For safety reasons, the bonnet must
always be properly closed while the car is
travelling. Therefore, make sure that the
bonnet is properly closed and that the lock
is engaged. If you discover that the bonnet
is not perfectly closed during travel, stop
immediately and close the bonnet in the
correct manner.
IMPORTANT
30)Note that the support bar may
disengage the bonnet if the open bonnet is
lifted by a strong wind.
31)After inserting the support bar into the
slot, make sure the bar supports the
bonnet securely from falling down on to
your head or body.

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.
HIGH-LOAD SYSTEM,
PROTRUDING LOADS
Check that the load is distributed evenly
on the flatbed and that the rear side
panel is correctly closed, so that the
load, or part of it, cannot fall onto the
road surface.
Some simple suggestions can improve
driving safety, comfort and vehicle
duration:
distribute the load evenly over the
platform: if it must be concentrated it in
a single area, choose an area mid-way
between both axles;
remember that the dynamic
behaviour of the vehicle is affected by
the transported weight: in particular, the
stopping distances are longer,
especially at high speed.
Bumpy roads and heavy braking may
cause unexpected load shifting with
consequently hazardous situations:
before setting off, secure the load tightly
using the partition and appropriate
hooks, steel cables, ropes or chains
strong enough to hold the items to be
secured.
83) 84) 85) 86) 87) 88)
WARNING
83)If the vehicle is parked on a very steep
slope or side gradient, opening the rear
flap of the flatbed or a side door may
cause any objects or luggage which is not
fixed to spill out.
84)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.
85)Respect the maximum permitted
vehicle loads also shown on the
registration certificate. The user is
responsible for arranging goods in the
luggage compartment and/or on the load
platform within the maximum permitted
loads.
75

86)Do not carry unnecessary objects on
the flatbed. Particularly if the vehicle is
driven in cities, where frequent stopping
and starting is necessary, supplementary
loads on the vehicle may have major
repercussions on fuel consumption.
Furthermore, do not travel with
unnecessary luggage, loads etc. on the
roof: the increased air resistance will
increase fuel consumption.
87)Using a lower gear when travelling with
heavy loads will improve vehicle
performance and extend the life of the
gearbox, limiting gear shifts and
overheating. This action ensures better
exhaust braking.
88)All precautions must be adopted to
prevent danger to other road users if the
load protrudes beyond the contour of the
vehicle. The rear and side protrusion must
be indicated according to the laws in force
in the country. The load must not
compromise stability of the vehicle or cover
lights, visual indicators or identifying plates.
Poles, bars and similar loads which are
difficult to see arranged horizontally must
not protrude beyond the contour of the
vehicle.TRAILER TOWING
In order to tow a trailer with your
vehicle, when having a trailer towing
device mounted that meets all relevant
regulations in your area, consult a Fiat
Dealership.
Check that your towbar coupling ball
does not obscure your vehicle’s licence
plate when the trailer or caravan is
disconnected. If it obscures the licence
plate, please remove the towbar
coupling ball. And if the towbar
coupling ball is lockable by using a key
or any kind of tools, please remove the
coupling ball and use a towbar coupling
ball which can be removed or
repositioned without the use of a key or
any kind of tools instead.
The regulations concerning the towing
of a trailer may differ from country to
country. You are advised to obey the
regulations in each area.
NOTE If you are going to tow a trailer,
pay careful attention to the following
points.
89)
Maximum towable weight with
brake and maximum trailernose
weight
Never exceed the maximum towable
weight with brake and the maximum
trailer-nose weight as listed in the
specifications. (Refer to “Vehicle
weight”.
If you tow a trailer at an altitude of more
than 1,000 m above sea-level, reduce
your weight by 10 % of the gross
combination weight for every increase
of 1,000 m above sea-level, as the
engine output is lowered owing to
decrease in atmospheric pressure.

Something is wrong with the cigarette
lighter if it does not pop back out within
approximately 30 seconds of being
pushed in. Pull it out and have the
problem corrected at Fiat Dealership.
When the cigarette lighter socket is
used as a power source for an electric
appliance, be sure that the electric
appliance operates at 12 V and has an
electric capacity of 120 W or less. In
addition, long use of the electric
appliance without running the engine
may run down the battery.
ACCESSORY SOCKET

1. Open the cover (1). Insert the key in
the cap (2) and unlock it.
2. Turn the cap and remove it.
109)
3. Insert the gun in the tank port as far
as it goes.
4. When the gun stops automatically,
do not fill with fuel any more.5. To close, turn the fuel cap slowly
clockwise until you hear clicking
sounds, then gently push the fuel tank
filler door closed.
WARNING
98)When handling fuel, comply with the
safety regulations displayed by garages
and filling stations.
99)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.
100)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.
101)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.
102)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.
103)Be careful not to inhale fuel vapor.
Fuel contains toxic substances.104)Keep the doors and windows closed
while refueling the vehicle. If they were
open, fuel vapor could get into the cabin.
105)If the fuel cap must be replaced, use
only a Fiat genuine part.
106)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.
107)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.
108)Do not use a mobile phone near the
refuelling pump: risk of fire.
109)Do not tilt the gun.
