bars FIAT FULLBACK 2018 Owner handbook (in English)

WARNING
83)If the vehicle is parked on a very steep
slope or side gradient, opening the rear
flap of the flatbed or a side door may
cause any objects or luggage which is not
fixed to spill out.
84)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. Anyway, by doing so, you
increase the risk of fire in the event of an
accident with your vehicle.
85)Respect the maximum permitted
vehicle loads also shown on the
registration certificate. The user is
responsible for arranging goods in the
luggage compartment and/or on the load
platform within the maximum permitted
loads.
86)Do not carry unnecessary objects on
the flatbed. Particularly if the vehicle is
driven in cities, where frequent stopping
and starting is necessary, supplementary
loads on the vehicle may have major
repercussions on fuel consumption.
Furthermore, do not travel with
unnecessary luggage, loads etc. on the
roof: the increased air resistance will
increase fuel consumption.
87)Using a lower gear when travelling with
heavy loads will improve vehicle
performance and extend the life of the
gearbox, limiting gear shifts and
overheating. This action ensures better
exhaust braking.88)All precautions must be adopted to
prevent danger to other road users if the
load protrudes beyond the contour of the
vehicle. The rear and side protrusion must
be indicated according to the laws in force
in the country. The load must not
compromise stability of the vehicle or cover
lights, visual indicators or identifying plates.
Poles, bars and similar loads which are
difficult to see arranged horizontally must
not protrude beyond the contour of the
vehicle.
IMPORTANT
32)Use a roof carrier that properly fits your
vehicle. Do not load luggage directly onto
the roof. For installation, refer to the
instruction manual accompanying the roof
carrier.
33)Make sure that the weight of the
luggage does not exceed the allowable roof
load. If the allowable roof load is exceeded,
this may cause damage to the vehicle. The
roof load is the total allowable load on the
roof (the weight of the roof carrier plus the
weight of luggage placed on the roof
carrier). For the specific value, refer to
“Maximum roof load”.34)When luggage is loaded onto the
vehicle, please make sure to drive slowly
and avoid excessive maneuvers such as
sudden braking or quick turning. In
addition, place the luggage on the carrier
so that its weight is distributed evenly with
the heaviest items on the bottom. Do not
load items that are wider than the roof
carrier. The additional weight on the roof
could raise the vehicle’s centre of gravity
and affect vehicle handling characteristics.
As a result, driving errors or emergency
maneuvers could lead to a loss of control
and result in an accident.
35)Before driving and after travelling a
short distance, always check the load to
make sure it is securely fastened to the roof
carrier. Check periodically during your travel
that the load remains secure.
