DRIVER PROTECTION
LADDER
(for versions/markets, where provided)
On some versions, a fixed ladder fig. 54
is provided to protect the driver from
unstable loads and allow greater
loading capacity from the passenger
side.
COMBI VERSIONS
(for versions/markets, where provided)
Fixed partition fig. 55This is located behind the backrest of
the rear seats.
SECURING YOUR LOAD
Hooks (various number, according to
version) are fixed to the floor for easy
securing load.
Cargo versions fig. 56;
Combi versions fig. 57.LOADING ADVICE
Some simple suggestions can improve
driving safety, comfort and vehicle
duration: - distribute the load evenly
over the platform: if it must be
concentrated it in a single area, choose
an area mid-way between both axles;
- lastly, remember that the dynamic
behaviour of the vehicle is affected by
the transported weight: in particular, the
stopping distances are longer,
especially at high speed.
24) 25) 26) 27)
WARNING
24)Bumpy roads and abrupt braking may
cause unexpected load shifting with
consequently hazardous situations for the
driver and passengers: before setting
off, secure the load tightly using the
partition and appropriate hooks, steel
cables, ropes or chains strong enough to
hold the items to be secured.
25)Even when the car is stopped on a
steep hill or side slope, opening the rear or
side doors could cause unsecured goods
to fall out.
26)If you wish to carry a reserve of petrol
in a can, observe the legal restrictions
and only use a can that is type-approved
and properly secured to the load
anchorage eyebolts. In the event of a
collision the fire risk is increased all the
same.54F0T0177

If the seat is completely folded down,
remove the parcel shelf as described
and store it horizontally between the
back of the front seats and the folded
rear seat.
To refit the parcel shelf, follow the same
procedure in reverse.
30)
EXTENDING THE BOOT
Proceed as follows:
open the rear doors and remove the
parcel shelf (as described previously);
completely lower the rear seat head
restraints;
move the seat belt to the side,
making sure that it is fully extended and
not twisted;
lift backrest retainer lever A fig. 61
and fold the backrest forwards to
obtain a flat loading area. When you lift
the lever, you will see a red band.To further expand the boot, pull tab A
fig. 62 behind the rear backrest and tip
seat and backrest forward.
REMOVING THE REAR
SEAT
The rear seat can be removed to carry
large loads and expand the boot even
further.
Combi versions
Operate the two brackets A fig. 63
under the side of the seat (one on each
side) after having tipped the rear seat
as previously described.
REPOSITIONING THE
REAR SEAT
Proceed as follows:
check that the seat belt webbing is
correctly inserted in the corresponding
bracket:
take the cushion back to horizontal
position and check that it is secured
correctly;
tip back the backrest and check that
it is secured correctly.

WARNING
28)If you are travelling in areas with few
filling stations and you want to transport
fuel in a spare tank, comply with the law by
using only an approved, suitably secured
tank. In the event of a collision the fire
risk is increased all the same.
29)Never exceed the maximum allowed
load in the boot (see "Technical
Specifications" section). Also make sure
that the objects you place in the luggage
compartment have been properly secured,
to avoid them from being thrown forward
consequent to sudden braking and injuring
your passengers.
30)You must not use the folded rear seat
to carry luggage. The load could be thrown
forward into the backrest of the front
seats, seriously injuring the occupants.
VERSION WITH
METHANE SYSTEM
(Natural Power)
31) 32) 33)
5) 6) 7)
INTRODUCTION
The Fiat Fiorino Natural Power version
features two fuel systems, one for
petrol and one for natural gas
(methane).
Selecting the type of fuel supply
Fiat Fiorino Natural Power is configured
to run normally on methane gas.
When the methane is running out and
the pressure in the cylinder is close
to the correct operating limit, the
system automatically switches to petrol
operation.
The engine always starts up on petrol,
with automatic switching to methane
when the best conditions are achieved
(engine water temperature, minimum
engine rpm limit) for switching to
methane.
Therefore, there must always be some
petrol in the tank (at least 1/4 full), in
order not to compromise the operation
of the fuel pump.For this reason there must always
be petrol in the tank.
The petrol/methane switch fig. 65,
amongst the controls in the dashboard,
makes it possible to select petrol
operation. The system does not switch
automatically to methane operation if
the petrol runs out.
IMPORTANT If gas is smelled, switch
from methane operation to petrol
operation and immediately go to a Fiat
Dealership to have the vehicle checked
and possible system faults excluded.
CYLINDERS
The vehicle has two cylinders (total
capacity about 77 litres) located under
the floor and protected by two special
guards.
The cylinders fig. 66 and fig. 67 are the
tank that contains methane in
compressed gaseous state (200 rated
bar at 15 °C).

SEAT BELTS
USING THE SEAT BELTS
All the seats in the vehicle are equipped
with seat belts with three anchoring
points and a retractor.
The reel mechanism operates locking
the belt in the event of sharp braking or
strong deceleration due to an impact.
This allows the belt strap to slide freely
and to adapt to the body of the
occupant.
In the event of an accident, the belt will
lock to reduce the risk of impact inside
the passenger compartment or of being
projected outside the vehicle. The
driver is responsible for respecting, and
ensuring that all the other occupants
of the vehicle also respect, the local
laws in force in relation to the use of the
seat belts.
Always fasten the seat belts before
setting off.
The seat belt should be worn keeping
the chest straight and rested against
the backrest.
To fasten the seat belts, hold the
tongue A fig. 83 and insert it into the
buckle B, until it clicks into place.
If the seat belt jams during removal, let
it rewind for a short stretch, then pull
it out again without jerking.To unfasten the seat belts, press button
C. Guide the seat belt with your hand
while it is rewinding, to prevent it from
twisting.
66)
The retractor may lock up when the
vehicle is parked on a steep slope: this
is perfectly normal. Furthermore, the
reel mechanism locks the belt if it
is pulled sharply or in the event
of sudden braking, collisions and
high-speed bends.
67)
The rear seat belts (for versions/
markets, where provided) must be worn
as shown in diagram in fig. 84 or fig.
85.

IMPORTANT The “red band” on the
levers A fig. 86 used for folding the seat
will not appear when the backrest is
correctly secured. This red band
indicates that the backrest is
not secured.
IMPORTANT After putting the rear
seats (for versions/markets, where
provided) back to their normal
operating position, re-position the seat
belt so that it is immediately ready for
the next use.
68)
WARNING
66)Never press button C fig. 83when
travelling.
67)Remember that in the event of a violent
impact the rear seat passengers not
wearing seat belts are exposed to a very
serious risk and also represent a serious
danger for the front seat occupants.
68)Make sure the backrest is properly
secured at both sides (”red bands” not
visible) to prevent it moving forward in the
event of sharp braking, causing injuries
to passengers.
SBR SYSTEM
(for versions/markets, where provided)
The vehicle is equipped with a system
called S.B.R. (Seat Belt Reminder),
which warns the driver and front
passenger (for versions/markets, where
provided) if their seat belt is not
fastened, as follows:
warning lightcomes on
continuously on the instrument panel
and the buzzer sounds continuously for
the first 6 seconds;
warning lightflashes on the
instrument panel and the buzzer
sounds intermittently for the following
90 seconds.
For permanent deactivation, contact a
Fiat Dealership.
The SBR system can also be
reactivated through the setup menu.
PRE-TENSIONERS
To increase the protective efficiency of
the front seat belts, the vehicle is fitted
with pretensioners. These devices, in
the event of a violent frontal collision or
side collision, rewind the seat belts a
few centimetres. In this way, they
ensure that the belts fit tightly to the
wearer before the restraining action
begins.
It is evident that the pretensioners have
been activated when the belt withdraws
toward the retractor.
IMPORTANT To obtain the highest
degree of protection from the action of
the pretensioner, wear the seat belt
tight to the chest and pelvis.
A slight discharge of smoke may be
produced during the activation of the
pretensioner which is not harmful and
does not involve any fire hazard.
The pretensioner does not require any
maintenance or lubrication. Any
changes to its original conditions will
invalidate its efficiency. If, due to
unusual natural events (floods, sea
storms, etc.), the device has been
affected by water and mud, it must
absolutely be replaced.

SEAT BELTS
MAINTENANCE
For keeping the seat belts in efficient
conditions, carefully observe the
following warnings:
always use the seat belt with the
strap well stretched and not twisted;
make sure that it is free to run without
obstructions;
check seat belt operation as follows:
attach the seat belt and pull it hard;
replace the seat belt after an
accident of a certain severity even if it
does not appear to be damaged.
Always replace the seat belt if
the pretensioners were deployed;
prevent the retractors from getting
wet: their correct operation is only
guaranteed if water does not get inside;
replace the seat belt when it shows
wear or cuts.
WARNING
69)The pretensioner may be used only
once. After it is triggered, have it replaced
at a Fiat Dealership.
70)For maximum safety, keep the back of
your seat upright, lean back into it and
make sure the seat belt fits closely across
your chest and pelvis. Always fasten the
seat belts on both the front and the rear
seats! Travelling without wearing seat belts
will increase the risk of serious injury or
even death in the event of an accident.
71)Removing or tampering with the seat
belt and pretensioner components is
strictly prohibited. Any intervention on
these components must be performed by
qualified and authorised technicians.
Always contact a Fiat Dealership.
72)If the seat belt has been subjected to a
high level of stress, for example after an
accident, it must be completely replaced
together with the anchorages, anchorage
fixing screws and pretensioner. In fact,
even if the seat belt has no visible defects,
it could have lost its resilience.
WARNING
12)Operations which lead to knocks,
vibrations or localised heating (over 100°C
for a maximum of 6 hours) in the area
around the pretensioners may cause
damage or trigger them. These devices are
not affected by vibrations caused by
irregularities of the road surface or low
obstacles such as kerbs, etc. Contact a
Fiat Dealership for any assistance.
