Unlocking/locking the load
compartment from inside the
vehicle (Cargo version)
Press the button fig. 4 (Cargo version)
to unlock the load compartment (rear
swing doors/boot and sliding side
doors) from the inside. Press again to
lock all doors of the vehicle.
REQUEST FOR
ADDITIONAL REMOTE
CONTROLS
The system can acknowledge up to 8
remote controls. Should a new remote
control be necessary, contact a Fiat
Dealership, taking a personal identity
document and the vehicle ownership
documents with you.DEAD LOCK DEVICE
(for versions/markets, where provided)
This security device prevents the
opening of the doors from inside the
passenger compartment if there has
been a break-in attempt (e.g. a window
has been broken).
The dead lock device therefore offers
the best possible protection against
break in attempts. We recommend
engaging it whenever the vehicle is
parked and left unattended.
2) 3)
Turning the device on
The system is automatically enabled on
all the doors by pressing button
twice on the key with remote control.
The direction indicators flash twice to
let you know that the device is active.
If one or more of the doors is not
perfectly shut, the dead lock device will
not be activated, thus preventing a
person getting into the car through the
open door and, on shutting, it,
remaining stuck inside the passenger
compartment.
Turning the device off
The system is disabled automatically on
every door when:
by unlocking the doors;
by turning the ignition key to the
MAR position.
WARNING
1)Button B should only be pressed when
the key is away from the body, in particular
from the eyes and from objects that can
be spoilt (e.g. clothes). Do not leave the
key unattended to avoid the button being
accidentally pressed while it is being
handled, e.g. by a child.
2)Once the dead lock system is engaged it
is impossible to open the doors from
inside the vehicle. Before engaging the
system please therefore check that there is
no one left on board.
3)If the remote control battery is flat, the
system can be engaged by inserting the
metal key in the door lock as described
previously: in this case, the device only
remains active for the rear doors.
WARNING
1)Used batteries are harmful to the
environment. You can dispose of them
either in the correct containers as specified
by law or by taking them to a Fiat
Dealership, which will deal with their
disposal.

KNOWING YOUR VEHICLE

WARNING
12)All adjustments must be made with the
vehicle stationary.
13)Once you have released the
adjustment lever, always check that the
seat is locked on the guides by trying
to move it back and forth. If it is not locked,
the seat may move unexpectedly and
make you lose control of the vehicle.
14)When the passenger seat is folded
away, the space created cannot be used
for loading. When the vehicle is in motion,
you are therefore advised to remove or
secure any objects that might interfere with
the driver. If there is no partition between
the cab and the load compartment, tall
objects or packages may take up part of
the passenger area. Make sure that these
items are well secured by using the
available hooks and that they cannot
interfere with the driver.

IMPORTANT The heater will not turn on
if the battery voltage is too low.
WARNING
2)The air conditioning system uses R134a
or R1234yf refrigerant compatible with
the regulations in force in the countries
where the vehicle is sold. When charging,
only use the gas indicated on the
dedicated plate in the engine
compartment. The use of other coolants
affects the efficiency and condition of
the system. The lubricant used for the

follows:
open the windows;
or
turn the ignition key to the STOP
position and then to MAR.
If no malfunction is present, the window
returns to its normal operation
automatically.
IMPORTANT With the key off or

SECURING YOUR LOAD
Hooks (various number, according to
version) are fixed to the floor for easy
securing load.
Cargo versions fig. 54;
Combi versions fig. 55.
LOADING ADVICE
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;- lastly, 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.
24) 25) 26) 27)
WARNING
24)Bumpy roads and abrupt braking may
cause unexpected load shifting with
consequently hazardous situations for the
driver and passengers: 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.
25)Even when the car is stopped on a
steep hill or side slope, opening the rear or
side doors could cause unsecured goods
to fall out.
26)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. In the event of a
collision the fire risk is increased all the
same.
27)Each of these must be strictly observed
and MUST NEVER BE EXCEEDED in any
case. In particular, ensure that you never
exceed the maximum permitted weights on
the front and rear axles when arranging
the load on the vehicle (particularly if the
vehicle is equipped with a specific trim
level).
LUGGAGE
COMPARTMENT
EMERGENCY OPENING
FROM THE INSIDE
In the event of an emergency, you can
open the tailgate from inside as follows:
open the sliding side door and
lower the backrest of the rear seat to
gain access to the boot (Combi
versions);
or
open the sliding side door (Cargo
versions);
use device A fig. 56 located on the
inside of the right-hand swing door;
open the left-hand swing door
by pulling the handle (see "Doors" in
this section).

take the cushion back to horizontal
position and check that it is secured
correctly;
tip back the backrest and check that
it is secured correctly.
A pictogram (fig. 62) is located under
the split seat cushion showing how
to secure the seat back onto the
brackets screwed to the floor.
WARNING
28)If you are travelling in areas with few
filling stations and you want to transport
fuel in a spare tank, comply with the law by
using only an approved, suitably secured
tank. In the event of a collision the fire
risk is increased all the same.
29)Never exceed the maximum allowed
load in the boot (see "Technical
Specifications" section). Also make sure
that the objects you place in the luggage
compartment have been properly secured,
to avoid them from being thrown forward
consequent to sudden braking and injuring
your passengers.
30)You must not use the folded rear seat
to carry luggage. The load could be thrown
forward into the backrest of the front
seats, seriously injuring the occupants.
VERSION WITH
METHANE SYSTEM
(Natural Power)
31) 32) 33)
5) 6) 7)
INTRODUCTION
The Fiat Fiorino Natural Power version
features two fuel systems, one for
petrol and one for natural gas
(methane).
Selecting the type of fuel supply
Fiat Fiorino Natural Power is configured
to run normally on methane gas.
When the methane is running out and
the pressure in the cylinder is close
to the correct operating limit, the
system automatically switches to petrol
operation.
The engine always starts up on petrol,
with automatic switching to methane
when the best conditions are achieved
(engine water temperature, minimum
engine rpm limit) for switching to
methane.
Therefore, there must always be some
petrol in the tank (at least 1/4 full), in
order not to compromise the operation
of the fuel pump.61F0T0199

To unfasten the seat belts, press button
C. Guide the seat belt with your hand
while it is rewinding, to prevent it from
twisting.
60)
The retractor may lock up when the
vehicle is parked on a steep slope: this
is perfectly normal. Furthermore, the
reel mechanism locks the belt if it
is pulled sharply or in the event
of sudden braking, collisions and
high-speed bends.
61)
The rear seat belts (for versions/
markets, where provided) must be worn
as shown in diagram in fig. 82 or fig.
83.IMPORTANT The “red band” on the
levers A fig. 84 used for folding the seat
will not appear when the backrest is
correctly secured. This red band
indicates that the backrest is
not secured.
IMPORTANT After putting the rear
seats (for versions/markets, where
provided) back to their normal
operating position, re-position the seat
belt so that it is immediately ready for
the next use.
62)
WARNING
60)Never press button C fig. 81when
travelling.
61)Remember that in the event of a violent
impact the rear seat passengers not
wearing seat belts are exposed to a very
serious risk and also represent a serious
danger for the front seat occupants.
62)Make sure the backrest is properly
secured at both sides (”red bands” not
visible) to prevent it moving forward in the
event of sharp braking, causing injuries
to passengers.

SAFETY

72)When the child restraint system is not used, secure it with the seat belt or with the ISOFIX anchorages, or remove it from the vehicle. Do
not leave it unsecured inside the passenger compartment. This way, in the case of sudden braking or an accident, it will not cause injuries
to the occupants.
73)After installing a child restraint system, do not move the seat: always remove the child restraint system before making any adjustment.
74)Always make sure that the diagonal section of the seat belt does not pass under the arms or behind the back of the child. In the event of
an accident the seat belt will not be able to secure the child, with the risk of injury, including fatal injury. Therefore the child must always wear
the seat belt correctly.
75)The figures are only examples for fitting purposes. Fit the child restraint system according to the instructions, which must be included.
