FOOD BOX (where prvided)
The food box fitted on Fiat Multipla has a capacity of 8 litres which means
that it can contain up to three one and a half litre bottles, equal to max.
4.5 kg distributed between the two boxes.
The box, that can be fitted either in front or rear the central seat, is
insulated and can be used to cool or warm up the food box according to
your needs. When using for cooling, a temperature difference of
approximately 20°C can be achieved between the temperature inside the
box and that of the passenger compartment after approximately one
hour of operation. The lowest possible temperature that can be reached
in any case is not lower than 8-10°C.
To prevent draining the battery charge, the system is connected to the
electrical system via the ignition key. As a result, the box will only work
when the engine is running.
You should remove perishables from the box if you leave the car parked
for longer than two hours.
Switch to position 1 = to warm; position 2 = to cool.
If another food box is fitted, you can connect it to the 12 V outlet in the
boot using the coil cable provided for the purpose. You are
recommended to connect it only if strictly necessary in order to limit
electric absorption.

CORRECT USE
OF THE CAR
If the engine does not start at the first attempt, return
the ignition key to STOP before trying to start the
engine again.
If, when the ignition key is at MAR, warning light
¢
remains lit, turn the key to STOP and then back to
MAR; if the warning light remains on, try with the
other keys provided with the car.
If you still cannot start the engine, contact Fiat
Dealership.
IMPORTANT When the outside temperature is very
low, the use of a fluid oil facilitates cold starting.
During winter it is therefore recommended to
observe the specifications contained in section
“Technical specifications” at paragraph “Fluids and
lubricants”.
IMPORTANT Never leave the ignition key at MAR
when the engine is off.
HOW TO WARM UP THE ENGINE
AFTER IT HAS JUST STARTED
(petrol and diesel versions)
Proceed as follows:
❒drive off slowly, letting the engine turn at medium
revs. Do not accelerate abruptly.
❒do not drive at full performance for the initial
kilometres.
EMERGENCY START-UP
If the Fiat CODE system fails to recognise the code
transmitted by the ignition key (warning light
¢on
instrument panel lit with fixed light) you can start the
engine by following the emergency procedure using
the code written on the CODE card.
See section “In an emergency”.
Never bump start the engine by pushing, towing or coasting downhill as this could cause fuel to
flow into the catalytic exhaust system and damage it beyond repair.
Remember that the servobrake and power steering are not operational until the
engine has been started, therefore much effort than usual is required on the brake
pedal and steering wheel.WARNING
