WARNING
11)Make sure the doors are closed:
driving with doors not completely closed is
dangerous.
12)NEVER leave children unattended
inside the car, let alone leave the car with
the doors unlocked in a place that children
can access easily. Children may seriously,
or even fatally, injure themselves. Also
ensure that children do not inadvertently
operate
13)Be careful not to lock the doors while
the key is inside the vehicle.14)When opening the rear door, confirm
that the occupant of the front seat has
taken off the seat belt before opening the
rear door. If you open the rear door with
the front seat belt being worn, the
occupant of the front seat may be
tightened with the locked seat belt and
could result in serious injury.
15)When closing the rear door, make sure
not being trapped your hands or your
fingers in the doors.
16)Before driving, make sure that the rear
door is securely closed. If a door is ajar, the
door ajar warning lamp will illuminates. If a
door is not completely closed, the rear
door could open while driving and this
could cause an accident such as
occupants being thrown from the vehicle.
17)When opening or closing the rear door,
please observe the followings. If you do not
follow them, it could result in damage to
your vehicle. Do not open or close the rear
door and the front door at the same time.
18)Do not open or close the rear door
when the front door is not completely
opened.
19)Do not close the rear door after closing
the front door.20)When the vehicle-speed sensitive
automatic door lock/Impact-sensitive
unlock mechanism may not operate in the
following conditions, have the vehicle
inspected at a Fiat Dealership immediately.
1– The door does not lock automatically
even when the vehicle speed exceeds
approximately 15 km/h. 2 — The door
unlocks automatically while driving. 3 —
Even when the ignition switch or the
operation mode is in ON, the SRS warning
lamp does not come on or it remains on. 4
— The SRS warning lamp comes on while
driving. 5 — The central door lock system
is broken down.
21)When driving with a child in the rear
seat, please use the child protection to
prevent accidental door opening which
may cause an accident.
22)If the child lock was engaged and the
previously described locking procedure
carried out, operating the internal opening
handle will not open the door: in this case,
to open the door, the outside handle must
be used. The door central locking/
unlocking button is not disabled by the
engagement of the emergency lock.
23)Always use this device when carrying
children. After engaging the child lock on
both rear doors, check for effective
engagement by trying to open a door with
the internal handle.

gate is securely closed. If the rear gate
opens while driving the vehicle, objects
stored in the cargo area could fall out onto
the road.
28)Once the dead lock system is engaged
it is impossible to open the doors from
inside the vehicle. Therefore, before
engaging the system check that there is no
one left inside. If the remote control battery
is flat, the system can be disengaged only
by inserting the key metal insert in either of
the door locks as described previously: in
this case the device remains active only for
the rear doors.
29)This spring loaded system has
activation forces that were designed for
optimum comfort. Accidental knocks or a
strong gust of wind may release the
springs and close the doors
spontaneously.
30)On vehicles with the rear bumper,
never swing down the rear gate because
the rear gate could be damaged.
31)Never close the rear gate with the link
or wire left unhooked.SEATS

43)The reclining mechanism of the front
manual seat's seatback is spring loaded,
causing it to fold the seatback forward
when the lock lever is operated. When
using the lever, sit close to the seatback or
hold it with your hand to control its return
motion.
44)When sliding the seats, be careful not
to catch your hand or foot.
45)If your vehicle is equipped with the rear
seat, when sliding or reclining the seat
rearward, pay careful attention to the rear
seat passengers.
46)If the following types of persons use
the heated seats, they might become too
hot or receive minor burns (red skin, heat
blisters, etc.): children, elderly or ill people,
people with sensitive skin, excessively tired
people, people under the influence of
alcohol or sleep inducing medication (cold
medicine, etc.).
IMPORTANT
10)The fabric upholstery of the seats has
been designed to withstand long-term wear
deriving from normal use of the car. Some
precautions are however required. Avoid
prolonged and/or excessive rubbing
against clothing accessories such as metal
buckles and Velcro strips which, by
applying a high pressure on the fabric in a
small area, could cause it to break, thereby
damaging the upholstery.11)Operate in the “HI” position for quick
heating. Once the seat is warm, set the
heater switch to the “LO” position to keep it
warm. Slight variations in seat temperature
may be felt while using the heated seats.
This is caused by the operation of the
heater’s internal thermostat and does not
indicate a malfunction.
12)Do not place heavy objects on the seat
or stick pins, needles, or other pointed
objects into it.
13)Do not use a blanket, cushion, or other
material with high heat insulation properties
on the seat while using the heater; this
might cause the heater element to
overheat.
14)Do not use benzine, kerosene, petrol,
alcohol or other organic solvents when
cleaning the seats. Doing so could damage
not only the seat cover, but also the heater
element.
15)If water or any other liquid is spilled on
the seat, allow it to dry thoroughly before
attempting to use the heater.
16)Turn the heater off immediately if it
appears to be malfunctioning during use.
HEAD RESTRAINTS
47) 48) 49) 50) 51) 52)
NOTE The head restraint height of the
outer seat in the rear seat cannot be
adjusted.
Front seats
Adjust the head restraint height so that
the centre of the head restraint is as
close as possible to ear level to reduce
the chances of injury in the event of

head restraint to reach their seated ear
level, should adjust the restraint as high
as possible.
To raise the head restraint, move it
upward.
To lower the restraint, move it
downward while pushing the height
adjusting knob (A) in the direction of the

WARNING
56)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.
57)Do not attempt to adjust the rear view
mirrors while driving. This can be
dangerous. Always adjust the mirrors
before driving.
58)Your vehicle is equipped with convex
type mirrors. Remind that objects that you
see in the mirror will look smaller and
farther away compared to a normal flat
mirror. Do not use this mirror to estimate
distance of following vehicles when
changing lanes.
59)Do not drive the vehicle with the mirror
folded in. The lack of rearward visibility
normally provided by the mirror could lead
to an accident.
IMPORTANT
20)It is possible to retract and extend the
mirrors by hand. After retracting a mirror
using the mirror retractor switch, however,
you should extend it by using the switch
again, not by hand. If you extended the
mirror by hand after retracting it using the
switch, it would not properly lock in
position. As a result, it could move because
of the wind or vibration while you are
driving, taking away your rearward visibility.

NOTE Do not leave the lamps on for a
long time while the engine is stationary
(not running). A run-down battery could
result.
NOTE When it rains, or when the
vehicle has been washed, the inside of
the lens sometimes becomes foggy, but
this does not indicate a functional
problem. When the lamp is switched
on, the heat will remove the fog.
However, if water gathers inside the
lamp, we recommend you to have
checked.
