42)Do not place a cushion or the like
between your back and the seatback while
driving. The effectiveness of the head
restraints will be reduced in the event of an
accident.
43)The reclining mechanism of the front
manual seat's seatback is spring loaded,
causing it to fold the seatback forward
when the lock lever is operated. When
using the lever, sit close to the seatback or
hold it with your hand to control its return
motion.
44)When sliding the seats, be careful not
to catch your hand or foot.
45)If your vehicle is equipped with the rear
seat, when sliding or reclining the seat
rearward, pay careful attention to the rear
seat passengers.
46)If the following types of persons use
the heated seats, they might become too
hot or receive minor burns (red skin, heat
blisters, etc.): children, elderly or ill people,
people with sensitive skin, excessively tired
people, people under the influence of
alcohol or sleep inducing medication (cold
medicine, etc.).
IMPORTANT
10)The fabric upholstery of the seats has
been designed to withstand long-term wear
deriving from normal use of the car. Some
precautions are however required. Avoid
prolonged and/or excessive rubbing
against clothing accessories such as metal
buckles and Velcro strips which, by
applying a high pressure on the fabric in a
small area, could cause it to break, thereby
damaging the upholstery.11)Operate in the “HI” position for quick
heating. Once the seat is warm, set the
heater switch to the “LO” position to keep it
warm. Slight variations in seat temperature
may be felt while using the heated seats.
This is caused by the operation of the
heater’s internal thermostat and does not
indicate a malfunction.
12)Do not place heavy objects on the seat
or stick pins, needles, or other pointed
objects into it.
13)Do not use a blanket, cushion, or other
material with high heat insulation properties
on the seat while using the heater; this
might cause the heater element to
overheat.
14)Do not use benzine, kerosene, petrol,
alcohol or other organic solvents when
cleaning the seats. Doing so could damage
not only the seat cover, but also the heater
element.
15)If water or any other liquid is spilled on
the seat, allow it to dry thoroughly before
attempting to use the heater.
16)Turn the heater off immediately if it
appears to be malfunctioning during use.

wipers and washers
If the moving wipers become
blocked partway through a sweep by
ice or other deposits on the glass, the
wipers may temporarily stop operating
to prevent the motor from overheating.
In this case, park the vehicle in a safe
place, turn the ignition switch to the
“OFF” position or put the operation
mode in OFF, and then remove the ice
or other deposits. Because the wipers
will start operating again after the wiper
motor cools down, check that the
wipers operate before using them.
Do not use the wipers when the
glass is dry. They may scratch the glass
surface and the blades wear out
prematurely.
Before using the wipers in cold
weather, check that the wiper blades
are not frozen onto the glass. The
motor may burn out if the wipers are
used with the blades frozen onto the
glass.
Avoid using the washer continuously
for more than 20 seconds. Do not
operate the washer when the fluid
reservoir is empty. Otherwise, the motor
may burn out.
Periodically check the level of washer
fluid in the reservoir and refill if required.
During cold weather, add a
recommended washer solution that will

GETTING TO KNOW YOUR VEHICLE

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.
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.
IMPORTANT
32)Use a roof carrier that properly fits your
vehicle. Do not load luggage directly onto
the roof. For installation, refer to the
instruction manual accompanying the roof
carrier.
33)Make sure that the weight of the
luggage does not exceed the allowable roof
load. If the allowable roof load is exceeded,
this may cause damage to the vehicle. The
roof load is the total allowable load on the
roof (the weight of the roof carrier plus the
weight of luggage placed on the roof
carrier). For the specific value, refer to
“Maximum roof load”.34)When luggage is loaded onto the
vehicle, please make sure to drive slowly
and avoid excessive maneuvers such as
sudden braking or quick turning. In
addition, place the luggage on the carrier
so that its weight is distributed evenly with
the heaviest items on the bottom. Do not
load items that are wider than the roof
carrier. The additional weight on the roof
could raise the vehicle’s centre of gravity
and affect vehicle handling characteristics.
As a result, driving errors or emergency
maneuvers could lead to a loss of control
and result in an accident.
35)Before driving and after travelling a
short distance, always check the load to
make sure it is securely fastened to the roof
carrier. Check periodically during your travel
that the load remains secure.

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.
