turn and loosen the cap screws until
the screws start to spin free fig. 36;
pull out the cap and open the boot
lid fig. 37. After performing this
emergency measure, contact an Abarth
Dealership as soon as possible.
IMPORTANT Do not pull the screw
when pulling the cap. Otherwise, the
screw may fall off and become lost.
WARNING
48)Never allow a person to ride in the
boot: allowing a person to ride in the boot
is dangerous. The person in the boot could
be seriously injured or killed during sudden
braking or a collision.
49)Do not drive with the boot lid open:
exhaust gas in the cabin of a vehicle is
dangerous. An open boot lid in a moving
vehicle will cause exhaust gas to be drawn
into the cabin. This gas contains CO
(carbon monoxide), which is colourless,
odourless, and highly poisonous, and it
can cause loss of consciousness and
death. Moreover, an open boot lid could
cause occupants to fall out in an accident.
50)Close the boot lid, do not allow
children to play inside the boot lid. Leaving
the trunk lid open or leaving children in the
vehicle with the keys is dangerous.
Children could open the boot lid and climb
inside resulting in possible injury or death
from heat exposure.
51)Always keep the car from being a
tempting place to play by latching the
doors and the boot lid, and keeping the
keys where children can not play with
them. Leaving children or animals
unattended in a parked vehicle is
dangerous. Babies left sleeping and
children who lock themselves in cars or
trunks can die very quickly from heat
prostration. Do not leave your children or
pets alone in a car at any time. Do not
leave the car, the boot lid unlocked.

GETTING TO KNOW YOUR VEHICLE
111)Always attach the tether strap to the
correct tether anchor position. Attaching
the tether strap to the incorrect tether
anchor position is dangerous. In a collision,
the tether strap could come off and loosen
the child-restraint system. If the
child-restraint system moves it could result
in death or injury to the child.
112)Always route the tether strap between
the head restraint and the seat back.
Routing the tether strap on top of the head
restraint is dangerous. In a collision the
tether strap could slide off the head
restraint and loosen the child-restraint
system. The child-restraint system could
move which may result in death or injury to
the child.
113)Follow the manufacturer's instructions
for the use of the child-restraint system. An
unsecured child-restraint system is
dangerous. In a sudden stop or a collision
it could move causing serious injury or
death to the child or other occupants.
Make sure any child-restraint system is
properly secured in place according to the
manufacturer's instructions.
114)Make sure the child-restraint system
is properly secured. A child-restraint
system that is not secured is dangerous. In
a sudden stop or collision, it can become a
projectile and hit someone, causing serious
injury. When not in use, remove it from the
vehicle, put it in the trunk or at least make
sure it is securely fastened to the ISOFIX
anchors.115)Make sure there are no seat belts or
foreign objects near or around the ISOFIX
anchor secured child-restraint system. Not
following the child-restraint system
manufacturer's instructions when installing
the child-restraint system is dangerous. If
seat belts or a foreign object prevent the
child-restraint system from being securely
attached to the ISOFIX anchors and the
child-restraint system is installed
improperly, the child-restraint system could
move in a sudden stop or collision causing
serious injury or death to the child or other
occupants. When installing the
child-restraint system, make sure there are
no seat belts or foreign objects near or
around the ISOFIX anchors. Always follow
the child-restraint system manufacturer's
instructions.
