WARNING
7)Always take all children and pets with
you or leave a responsible person with
them: leaving a child or a pet unattended in
a parked vehicle is dangerous. In hot
weather, temperatures inside a vehicle can
become high enough to cause brain
damage or even death.
8)Do not leave the key in your vehicle with
children and keep them in a place where
your children will not find or play with them:
leaving children in a vehicle with the key is
dangerous. This could result in someone
being badly injured or even killed.
9)Always close both the windows and
convertible top, lock the doors and take the
key with you when leaving your vehicle
unattended: leaving your vehicle unlocked
is dangerous as children could lock
themselves in a hot vehicle, which could
result in death. Also, a vehicle left unlocked
becomes an easy target for thieves and
intruders.
10)After closing the doors, always verify
that they are securely closed: doors not
securely closed are dangerous, if the
vehicle is driven with a door not securely
closed, the door could open unexpectedly
resulting in an accident.

GETTING TO KNOW YOUR VEHICLE

11)Always confirm the safety around the
vehicle before opening a door: suddenly
opening a door is dangerous. A passing
vehicle or a pedestrian could be hit and
cause an accident.
12)Always confirm the conditions around
the vehicle before opening/closing the
doors and use caution during strong winds
or when parked on an incline. Not being
aware of the conditions around the vehicle
is dangerous because fingers could get
caught in the door or a passing pedestrian
could be hit, resulting in an unexpected
accident or injury.
13)If the power window does not go up or
down automatically because the battery is
dead, slowly open/close the power window
while pressing the glass inward. Otherwise,
the power window may contact the
convertible top and the door cannot be
opened/closed resulting in damage to the

children, still inside the vehicle: activating
the system with passengers, especially
children, still inside the vehicle is
dangerous. The passengers cannot open
the doors from inside. They would be
trapped and subjected to extreme
temperatures. This could result in serious
injuries or even death.SEATS

IMPORTANT Do not use organic
solvents to clean the seat. It may
damage the seat surface and the
heater.
NoteIf the ignition is switched off while the
seat warmer is operating (High, Mid or
Low) and then switched ON again, the
seat warmer will automatically operate
at the temperature set before switching
off the ignition.
Use the seat warmer when the
engine is running. Leaving the seat
warmer on for long periods with the
engine not running could cause the
battery power to be depleted.
The temperature of the seat warmer
cannot be adjusted beyond High, Mid
and Low because the seat warmer is
controlled by a thermostat.
WARNING
15)Make sure the adjustable components
of a seat are locked in place. Adjustable
seats and seatbacks that are not securely
locked are dangerous. In a sudden stop or
collision, the seat or seatback could move,
causing injury. Make sure the adjustable
components of the seat are locked in place
by attempting to slide the seat forward and
backward and rocking the seatback.16)Never allow children to adjust a seat.
Allowing children to adjust a seat is
dangerous as it could result in serious
injury if a child's hands or feet become
caught in the seat.
17)Do not drive with the seatback
unlocked. All of the seatbacks play an
important role in your protection in a
vehicle. Leaving the seatback unlocked is
dangerous as it can allow passengers to
be ejected or thrown around and baggage
to strike occupants in a sudden stop or
collision, resulting in severe injury. After
adjusting the seatback at any time, even
when there are no other passengers, rock
the seatback to make sure it is locked in
place.
18)Adjust the driver's seat only when the
vehicle is stopped. Adjusting the driver's
seat while the vehicle is moving is
dangerous. The driver could lose control of
the vehicle and have an accident.
19)Do not modify or replace the seats.
Modifying or replacing the seats such as
replacing the upholstery or loosening any
bolts is dangerous. The seats contain air
bag components essential to the
supplementary restraint system. Such
modifications could damage the
supplementary restraint system and result
in serious injury. Consult a Fiat Dealership if
there is any need to remove or reinstall the
seats.20)Do not drive with damaged seats.
Driving with damaged seats, such as seat
cushions torn or damaged down to the
urethane, is dangerous. A collision, even
one not strong enough to inflate the air
bags, could damage the seats which
contain essential air bag components. If
there was a subsequent collision, an air
bag may not deploy which could lead to
injuries. Always have a Fiat Dealership
inspect the seats, seat belt pretensioners
and air bags after a collision.
21)Do not drive with either seats reclined.
Sitting in a reclined position while the
vehicle is moving is dangerous because
you do not get the full protection from seat
belts. During sudden braking or a collision,
you can slide under the lap belt and suffer
serious internal injuries. For maximum
protection, sit well back and upright.
22)Do not place an object such as a
cushion between the seatback and your
back. Putting an object such as a cushion
between the seatback and your back is
dangerous because you will be unable to
maintain a safe driving posture and the
seat belt cannot function at its full capacity
in a collision, which could result in a
serious accident, injury or death.
23)Do not place objects under the seat.
The object could get stuck and cause the
seat to not be fixed securely, and result in
an accident.
24)Do not stack cargo higher than the
seatbacks. Stacking luggage or other
cargo higher than the seatbacks is
dangerous. During sudden braking or a
collision, objects can fly around and
become projectiles that may hit and injure
passengers.
