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.
