2018 FIAT FULLBACK Owner handbook (in English)

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.

the tyre size, optional equipment and
suspension conditions.
Operating hints
Have your vehicle serviced prior to
towing a heavy trailer, taking particular
care of the state of engine tune, the
condition of brakes, steering and tyres.
Adjust tyre pressures to those
specifications at trailer towing (refer to
“tyre inflation pressure”). Check the
tyres, wiring and brakes (if fitted) on the
trailer.
Leave plenty of room between the
front of your vehicle and the preceding
vehicle. If the trailer begins to sway or
becomes difficult to handle, gently slow
down or apply the independent trailer
brakes (if fitted) NOT the vehicle brakes.
Stop the vehicle and trailer in a safe
location. One cause of swaying is poor
trailer balance and until this has been
overcome the swaying will recur.
Relocated the load in your trailer and
re-assess the problem.
Be sure that the driving speed does
not exceed 100 km/h for trailer
operation.
It is also recommended that you
obey the local regulations in case
driving speed with a trailer is limited to
less than 100 km/h.
To prevent the clutch from slipping
(vehicle with a M/T only), do not rev the
engine more than is required when
starting off.
To prevent shocks from the overrun
brake, depress the brake pedal lightly at
first and then more strongly.
To make full use of engine braking,
change to a lower gear before
descending a slope.
The body, brakes, clutch, and
chassis will be under additional strain
when towing a trailer.
The heavier weight and higher rolling
and air resistance will increase fuel
consumption.
Additional precautions for vehicles
equipped with an automatic
transmission
It is recommended a lower gear in
sports mode on slopes or at low speed,
taking care to keep the engine speed
below the red zone.

should be fitted according to Fiat
Dealership guidelines.

WARNING
90)Don’t put papers and other things that
burn into your ashtrays. If you do,
cigarettes or other smoking materials could
set them on fire, causing damage.
91)Do not touch the heating element or
the cigarette lighter housing, hold the knob
only to prevent burns.
92)Do not allow children to operate or play
with the cigarette lighter as burns may
occur.
93)Do not use any electric appliance that
is not approved by FCA. Doing so could
damage the socket. If you used the
cigarette lighter after damaging the socket,
the cigarette lighter might pop out or fail to
come out after being pushed in.
94)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.
95)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.
96)Keep the lids of storage spaces closed
while driving the vehicle. A lid or the
contents of a storage space could
otherwise cause injuries.
97)The holder should not be used to store
anything heavier than sunglasses. These
objects could drop out.98)Do not drink beverages while driving.
This is distracting and could cause an
accident.
99)Drinks could be spilled by the vibration
and jolts while driving. If the spilt drink is
very hot, you could be burnt.
100)Do not spray water or spill beverages
inside the vehicle. If the switches, wires, or
electrical components become wet, they
could malfunction or cause a vehicle fire. If
you accidentally spill a beverage, wipe up
as much liquid as possible and immediately
consult a Fiat Dealership.
101)Do not put a hanger or any heavy or
pointed object on the coat hook. If the
curtain airbag was activated, any such item
could be propelled away with great force
and could prevent the curtain airbag from
inflating correctly. Hang clothes directly on
the coat hook (without using a hanger).
Make sure there are no heavy or sharp
objects in the pockets of clothes that you
hang on the coat hook.
IMPORTANT
36)When the accessory socket is not in
use, be sure to close the lid, because the
socket might become clogged by foreign
material and be short-circuited.
37)Never leave lighters, canned
carbonated beverage, and spectacles in
the cabin when parking the vehicle in hot
sunshine. The cabin will become extremely
hot, so lighters and other flammable items
may catch fire and unopened drink cans
may rupture. Also, spectacles with plastic
lenses or materials could deform or crack.38)Put out matches and cigarettes before
they are placed in the ashtray.
39)Always close the ashtray. If left open,
other cigarette butts in the ashtray may be
rekindled.
40)Be sure to use a “plug-in” type
accessory operating at 12 V and at 120 W
or less. When using more than one socket
at the same time, make sure that the
electrical accessories are 12 V accessories
and that the total power consumption does
not exceed 120 W.
41)Long use of the electric appliance
without running the engine may run down
the battery.
