Curtain removal: roll up the curtain,
then pull the two hooks A fig. 42 (one
on each side) towards the internal
part of the luggage compartment. Then
raise the curtain upwards and remove
it.
WARNING
26)Take care not to knock objects on the
roof rack when opening the tailgate.
27)Make sure the backrest is properly
secured at both sides to prevent it from
moving forward in the event of sharp
braking, with possible impact with the
occupants.
28)Do not adjust the front or rear seat if a
child is seated on it or on the dedicated
child restraint system.
29)Make sure that the backrest is correctly
secured on both sides (red bands B not
visible) to prevent it from moving forward in
the event of sharp braking, causing injuries
to passengers.30)In the event of an accident or sharp
braking, any object placed on the curtain
may be projected in the passenger
compartment, and risk to hurt the
occupants.
31)Abrupt braking or occasional impacts
may cause sudden movements of the load
with consequent situations of hazard for
the driver and passengers: before setting
off, secure the load tightly using the
partition and, where provided, the
appropriate hooks. For securing use
cables, ropes or belts strong enough to
hold the items to be secured.
WARNING
13)Before tilting the seat backrest fully,
remove any objects laid on it.
14)The dimensions of the platform permit
a maximum capacity of distributed weight
of 70 kg (in position 1) or 40 kg (in position
2): do not load objects with a higher
weight.
15)Do not place heavy objects on the
curtain to prevent damaging it.

37)Sensor operation may also be
compromised by the presence of dust,
condensation, dirt or ice on the
windscreen, by traffic conditions (e.g.
vehicles that are driving not aligned with
yours, vehicles driving in a transverse
or opposite way on the same lane, bend
with a small radius of curvature), by road
surface conditions and by driving
conditions (e.g. off-road driving). Make sure
the windscreen is always clean. Use
specific detergents and clean cloths to
avoid scratching the windscreen. The
sensor operation may also be limited or
absent in some driving, traffic and road
surface conditions.
38)Projecting loads on the roof of the
vehicle may interfere with the correct
operation of the sensor. Before starting
make sure the load is correctly positioned,
in order not to cover the sensor operating
range.
39)If the windscreen must be replaced
due to scratches, chipping or breakage,
contact exclusively a Fiat Dealership.
Do not replace the windscreen on your
own, risk of malfunction! It is advisable to
replace the windscreen if it is damaged
in the area of the laser sensor.
40)Do not tamper with nor operate on the
laser sensor. Do not close the openings
in the aesthetic cover located under the
interior rear view mirror. In the event of
a sensor failure, contact a Fiat Dealership.
41)If you are driving on roads close to
trees with protruding branches it is
advisable to deactivate the system to
prevent the branches at the height of the
bonnet or the windscreen from interfering
with the system.42)Do not cover the operating range of the
sensor with stickers or other objects. Also
pay attention to other objects on the
bonnet (e.g. a layer of snow) and make
sure they do not interfere with the light
emitted by the laser.
43)If a trailer or a vehicle is towed, the
system must be deactivated with the
display Setup Menu.
44)If the system signals a pressure
decrease on a specific tyre, it is
recommended to check the pressure on all
four tyres.
45)iTPMS does not relieve the driver from
the obligation to check the tyre pressure
every month; it is not to be considered
a system to replace maintenance or a
safety system.
46)The iTPMS cannot indicate sudden tyre
pressure drops (for example when a tyre
bursts). In this case, stop the vehicle,
braking with caution and avoiding abrupt
steering.
47)The iTPMS only warns that the tyre
pressure is low: it is not able to inflate
them.
48)Insufficient tyre inflation increases fuel
consumption, reduces the tread duration
and may affect the capacity to drive safely.
49)Tyre pressure must be checked with
tyres cold. Should it become necessary for
whatever reason to check pressure with
warm tyres, do not reduce pressure even
though it is higher than the prescribed
value, but repeat the check when tyres are
cold.OCCUPANT
PROTECTION
SYSTEMS
The most important safety equipment
of the vehicle comprise the following
protection systems:
❒seat belts;
❒SBR (Seat Belt Reminder) system;
❒head restraints;
❒child restraint systems;
❒front airbags and side bags.
Read the information given the
following pages with the utmost care. It
is of fundamental importance that the
protection systems are used in the
correct way to guarantee the maximum

WARNING
60)It is extremely important, for correct
operation, that the camera is always kept
clean and free from mud, dirt, snow or ice.
Be careful not to scratch or damage the
camera while cleaning it. Avoid using
dry, rough or hard cloths. The camera
must be washed using clean water, with
the addition of car shampoo if necessary.
In washing stations which use steam or
high-pressure jets, clean the camera
quickly, keeping the nozzle more than 10
cm away. Do not apply stickers to the
camera.
TOWING TRAILERS
112) 113) 114)
INSTALLING A TOW
HOOK
The towing device should be fastened
to the body by specialised personnel
according to any additional and/or
integrative information supplied by the
Manufacturer of the device.
The towing device must meet current
regulations with reference to Directive
94/20/EC and subsequent
amendments.
For any version the towing device used
must be right for the towable weight
of the vehicle on which it is to be
installed.
For the electrical connection a standard
connector should be used which is
generally placed on a special bracket
normally fastened to the towing device,
and a special ECU for external trailer
light control must be installed on the
vehicle.
Seven or thirteen pin 12 V DC
connections should be used (CUNA/
UNI and ISO/DIN Standards). Follow
any instructions provided by the vehicle
manufacturer and/or the towing device
manufacturer.
IMPORTANT
For towing caravans or trailers the car
must be fitted with a type-approved
tow hook and an adequate electrical
system. Installation must be carried out
by a specialist.
Install any specific and/or additional
rear view mirrors as specified by the
Highway Code.
Remember that when towing a trailer,
steep hills are harder to climb, braking
distances increase and overtaking
takes longer depending on the overall
weight of the trail.
Engage a low gear when driving
downhill, rather than constantly using
the brake.
The weight of the trailer on the car's
tow hook will reduce the load capacity
of the car by the same amount. To
make sure that the maximum towable
weight is not exceeded (given in the car
registration document) account should
be taken of the fully laden trailer,
including accessories and luggage.
Respect the speed limits specific to
each country for vehicles towing
trailers. In any case, the top speed
must not exceed 100 km/h.
Any electric brake or other device
(winch etc.) should be powered directly
by the battery through a cable with a
cross-section of no less than 2.5 mm
2.
