VEHICLE MODIFICATIONS/ALTERATIONS
IMPORTANT Any change or alteration of the vehicle might seriously affect its safety and road holding, thus causing accidents,
in which the occupants could even be fatally injured.

WARNING
16)All adjustments must be made with the
vehicle stationary.
17)After releasing the adjustment lever,
always check that the seat is locked on the
guides 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.
18)For maximum safety, keep the backrest
upright, lean back into it and make sure
the seat belt fits closely across your chest
and pelvis.
19)Before putting on the seatbelt, ensure
that the armrests are vertical (see
paragraph on "seat belts ”).
20)Before unfastening the belts and
getting out of the vehicle, ensure that the
outer armrest (door side) is fully raised.
21)All adjustments must be made with the
vehicle stationary. In particular, while
turning the seat, take care that it does not
interfere with the handbrake lever.
22)Ensure the seat is locked in driving
position before starting up the vehicle.
23)Do not place heavy loads on the flap
with the vehicle in motion because they
could be thrown against the vehicle
occupants in the event of sudden braking
or impacts, causing severe injury.24)Do not travel with passengers seated in
the 3rd row with the 2nd row bench folded
over. Do not place objects of any type on
the backrest of the 2nd row bench folded
over: in the event of impact or sharp
braking they could be thrown against the
occupants of the vehicle casing serious
injury. For more information, see the
contents of the adhesive plate located
under the bench.
25)When refitting the bench, ensure that it
is correctly locked to the floor guides.
WARNING
3)The fabric upholstery of your vehicle is
designed to withstand the normal wear
and tear of your vehicle for a long time.
You are however recommended to avoid
strong and/or continuous scratching
with clothing accessories such as metal
buckles, studs, Velcro fastenings and the
like, as these items cause stress of the
cover fabric that could lead to yarn
breaking and damage the upholstery.
STEERING WHEEL
The steering wheel position can be
adjusted axially.
To carry out the adjustment, proceed as
follows:
release the lever fig. 33 by pulling it
towards the steering wheel (position 2);
adjust the steering wheel;
block the lever by pushing it
forwards (position 1).

WARNING
28)As the driver's exterior mirror is curved,
it may slightly alter the perception of
distance of the reflected image. Further,
the reflective surface of the lower part
of the exterior mirrors is parabolic to
increase the field of view. The reflected
image size is thus reduced and gives the
impression that the reflected item is further
away than it actually is.
29)When driving the mirrors should always
remain in position 1.

During fully automatic system
operation, you can change the set
temperature, air distribution and fan
speed at any time by using the relevant
buttons or knobs: the system will
automatically change its settings to
adjust to the new requirements. During
fully automatic operation (FULL AUTO),
the word FULL will disappear if the air
distribution and/or flow rate and/or
engagement of the compressor and/or
recirculation settings are changed. In
this way, the functions will switch from
automatic to manual control until the
AUTO button is pressed again. With
one or more functions turned on
manually, the adjustment of the intake
air temperature continues to be
managed automatically, except with the
compressor switched off: if this is the
case, the temperature of the air sent
into the passenger compartment
cannot be lower than that of the
outside air.
WARNING
2)The air conditioning system uses R134a
or R1234yf refrigerant compatible with
the regulations in force in the countries
where the vehicle is sold. When charging,
only use the gas indicated on the
dedicated plate in the engine compartment
. The use of other coolants affects the
efficiency and condition of the system. The
lubricant used for the compressor is also
strictly linked to the type of cooling gas,
please refer to a Fiat Dealership.
ADDITIONAL
HEATER
(for versions/markets, where provided)
On some versions, an additional heater
is also present beneath the driver's
seat. The fan for this heater is operated
by means of the button F located on
the control panel fig. 62.

KNOWING THE INSTRUMENT PANEL

any container or part that comes in
contact with the UREA must be compatible
with it (plastic or stainless steel). Materials
such as copper, brass, aluminium, iron
or stainless steel is not as susceptible to
corrosion by UREA are to be avoided;
if UREA is spilled from a container,
completely clean the area.
METHANE ENGINES
(NATURAL POWER)
METHANE GAS FILLER
The methane filler is located near the
petrol filler. It is equipped with a
"non-return" valve: the non-return valve
is inserted in the filler itself and prevents
the methane from flowing back
towards the filler.
To access the filler, unscrew the cap A
fig. 118.
The profile of the filler is of the universal
type, compatible with Italian and NGV1
standards.
In some European countries adapters
are considered ILLEGAL (e.g. in
Germany).
For service stations with cubic metre
(m3) nozzles (pressure differential),
to measure the residual pressure in the
cylinder, the non-return valves must
be released by delivering a small
amount of methane.The other plates (provided with the
vehicle documentation) contain the date
for the first inspection of the cylinders.
