After the sliding and removal
operations, the seat should be refitted
and secured to the rails on the floor
before driving, as follows:
fit the base on the rails;
push the latch lever downwards fig.
42 with sufficient force, until the system
locks.IMPORTANT The locking system is only
secured when the safety clip under
the lever locks it horizontally. If this does
not happen, check that the seat is in
the exact locking position in relation to
the rail (moving the seat backwards
or forwards a few millimetres until it is
properly attached). Once the
quick-release base is locked in position,
it will be as in the first stage, in other
words with the retaining lever perfectly
parallel to the floor guaranteeing that
the seat is securely fastened in the
selected position.
The seat can be turned 180º toward
the seat on the opposite side. To turn it,

IMPORTANT The parking heater goes
off when battery voltage is low to allow
the vehicle to be started.
IMPORTANT Before turning on the
device, ensure that the fuel level is
above the reserve. Otherwise the
device could lock and require
the assistance of a Fiat Dealership.
Always turn off the heater when
refuelling and near service stations to
avoid the risk of explosion or fire
hazards.
Do not park the vehicle on
inflammable material such as paper,
grass or dry leaves: fire hazard!
The temperature near the heater
should not exceed 120°C (e.g. during
oven painting in a body shop). The
electronic control unit components may
be damaged at higher temperatures.
Whilst the heater is operating with
the engine switched off, it absorbs
energy from the battery; the engine
should therefore be left running for
a while to make sure that the battery is
properly recharged.
To check the coolant level, follow the
instructions in the "Vehicle
maintenance" chapter, "Engine coolant
system fluid" paragraph. The water in
the heating circuit must contain a
minimum percentage of 10% antifreeze.
For maintenance and repairs,
consult only a Fiat Dealership and use
only original parts.
MAINTENANCE
Have the additional heater checked
regularly at a Fiat Dealership (and
always at the start of every winter). This
will guarantee safe and economic
operation of the heater as well as a long
duration.
