the steering wheel.
After releasing the adjustment lever, al-
ways check that the seat is locked into
place by trying to move it back and forth. If it is
not locked, the seat may move unexpectedly and
make you lose control of the vehicle.

Operate lever C to lift or lower the rear part of the cush-
ion to achieve the most comfortable driving position.

If, after buying the vehicle, you want to install electrical ac-
cessories requiring permanent electric supply (alarm, etc.)
or having high power level consumption, contact
a Fiat Dealership, whose qualified personnel, in addition to
suggesting the most suitable devices from the Lineacessori
Fiat range, will assess the overall electrical consumption
to determine whether the vehicle’s electrical system is ca-
pable of withstanding the load required, or whether it
should be integrated with a more powerful battery.
Since these devices continue to use electricity even when
the engine is off, they gradually run down the battery.

USEFUL ADVICE FOR EXTENDING THE LIFE
OF YOUR BATTERY
To avoid draining your battery and make it last longer, fol-
low these instructions closely:
❒ when you park the vehicle, ensure the doors, boot and
bonnet are closed properly so that the ceiling lights do
not stay on;
❒ turn off the ceiling lights, although the car does have
an automatic system for switching off internal lights;
❒ do not leave devices (e.g. sound system, hazard lights,
etc.) switched on for a long time when the engine is not
running;
❒ before performing any operation on the electrical sys-
tem, disconnect the negative battery cable;
❒ make sure battery terminals are fully tightened.
IMPORTANT A battery which is kept at a charge of less
than 50% for any length of time will be damaged by sul-
phating leading to a reduction in cranking power.
The battery is also more prone to the risk of freezing (at
temperatures as high as –10°C). If the vehicle is off the
road for long periods, refer to “Vehicle inactivity” in the
“Starting and driving” section.
