KNOWING YOUR VEHICLE
In-depth knowledge of your new vehicle
starts here.
The handbook that you are reading
simply and directly explains how it
is made and how it works.
That’s why we advise you to read it
seated comfortably on board, so that
you can see what is described here for
yourself.DASHBOARD ................................. 8

WARNING
5)Before opening a door, ensure that you
can do it in conditions of safety.
6)The right sliding side door cannot be
opened with the fuel flap open during
refuelling.
7)Do not leave the sliding side door open
when the vehicle is parked on a gradient. A
knock could release the latch leaving the
door free to move forward.
8)Before leaving the vehicle parked with
sliding doors open, always check that
the latch is engaged.
9)Always use this device when carrying
children.
10)The spring-loaded system is designed
for optimum usage. Accidental knocks
or a strong gust of wind may release the
springs, forcing the doors to close.
11)When closing, shut the right-hand door
2 fig. 13fully before you close the left-hand
door 1 fig. 13. Never shut the two doors
at the same time.
WARNING
2)Make sure that the right sliding side
door is all closed before refuelling to
prevent damage to the door and to the
sliding locking system with fuel filler cap
open, activated during refuelling
operations.

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.

KNOWING YOUR VEHICLE
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.

METHANE SYSTEM
(Natural Power)

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

Traction Plus operation
The system is deactivated when
starting. To activate the "Traction Plus"
system, press the button T+ fig. 80:
the LED on the button switches on.
The activation of the Traction Plus
system involves the following functions
being switched on:
inhibition of the ASR function, in
order to fully exploit the engine torque;
the differential locking effect on
the front axle, through the braking
system, to improve traction on irregular
grounds.
If the Traction Plus system is faulty, the
warning light on the instrument
panel switches on constantly.
OCCUPANT
PROTECTION
SYSTEMS
Some of the most important safety
equipment of the vehicle comprise the
following protection systems:
seat belts;
SBR (Seat Belt Reminder) system;
head restraints;
child restraint systems;
front, side airbag (for versions/
markets, where provided).
Read the information given the
following pages with the utmost care.
It is of fundamental importance that the
protection systems are used in the
correct way to guarantee the maximum
possible safety level for the driver and
the passengers.
For the description of the head restraint
adjustment see the "Head restraints"
paragraph in the "Knowing your
vehicle" chapter.
SEAT BELTS
USING THE SEAT BELTS
All the seats in the vehicle are equipped
with seat belts with three anchoring
points and a retractor.
The reel mechanism operates locking
the belt in the event of sharp braking or
strong deceleration due to an impact.
This allows the belt strap to slide freely
and to adapt to the body of the
occupant.
In the event of an accident, the belt will
lock to reduce the risk of impact inside
the passenger compartment or of being
projected outside the vehicle. The
driver is responsible for respecting, and
ensuring that all the other occupants
of the vehicle also respect, the local
laws in force in relation to the use of the
seat belts.
Always fasten the seat belts before
setting off.
The seat belt should be worn keeping
the chest straight and rested against
the backrest.
To fasten the seat belts, hold the
tongue A fig. 81 and insert it into the
buckle B, until it clicks into place.
If the seat belt jams during removal, let
it rewind for a short stretch, then pull
it out again without jerking.
