Dear Customer
We would like to congratulate and thank you for choosing Fiat Fullback.
We have written this handbook to help you get to know all the features of your vehicle and use it in the best possible way. Here
you will find information, advice and important warnings regarding use of your vehicle and how to achieve the best performance
from the technical features of your Fiat Fullback.
You are advised to read it right through before taking to the road for the first time, to become familiar with the controls and
above all with those concerning brakes, steering and gearbox; at the same time, you can understand the vehicle behaviour on
different road surfaces.
This document also provides a description of special features and tips, as well as essential information for the safe driving, care
and maintenance of your vehicle over time. After reading it, you are advised to keep the handbook inside the vehicle, for an
easy reference and for making sure it remains on board the vehicle should it be sold.
In the attached Warranty Booklet you will also find a description of the Services that Fiat offers to its customers, the Warranty
Certificate and the detail of the terms and conditions for maintaining its validity.
We are sure that these will help you to get in touch with and appreciate your new vehicle and the service provided by the
people at Fiat.
Enjoy reading. Happy motoring!
This Owner Handbook describes all Fiat Fullback versions. Options, equipment dedicated to specific markets or
versions are not explicitly indicated in the text: as a consequence, you should only consider the information which
is related to the trim level, engine and version that you have purchased. Any content introduced throughout the
production of the model, outside the specific request of options at the time of purchase, will be identified with the
wording (where provided).
All data contained in this publication are intended to help you use your vehicle in the best possible way. FCA Italy
S.p.A. aims at a constant improvement of the vehicles produced. For this reason it reserves the right to make
changes to the model described for technical and/or commercial reasons.
For further information, contact a Fiat Dealership.

VEHICLE CHANGES / 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.
ACCESSORIES PURCHASED BY THE OWNER
If after buying the vehicle, you decide to install electrical accessories that require a permanent electrical supply (e.g. radio,
satellite anti-theft system, etc.) or accessories that in any case burden the electrical supply, contact a Fiat Dealership, whose
personnel will check whether the vehicles's electrical system is able to withstand the load required, or whether it needs to be
integrated with a more powerful battery.
IMPORTANT Take care when fitting additional spoilers, alloy wheels or non-standard wheel hubs: they could reduce the
ventilation of the brakes and affect efficiency under sharp, repeated braking or on long descents. Make sure that nothing
obstructs the pedal stroke (mats, etc.).
INSTALLING ELECTRICAL / ELECTRONIC DEVICES
Electrical and electronic devices installed after buying the vehicle in the context of after-sales service must carry the following
label: FCA Italy S.p.A. authorises the installation of transceivers provided that installation is carried out at a specialised
centre, in a workmanlike fashion and in compliance with manufacturer's specifications.
Traffic police may not allow the vehicle on the road if devices have been installed which modify the features of the vehicle. This
may also cause invalidation of warranty in relation to faults caused by the change either directly or indirectly related to it.
FCA Italy S.p.A. shall not be liable for damage caused by the installation of accessories either not supplied or recommended by
FCA Italy S.p.A. and not installed in compliance with the provided instructions.
RADIO TRANSMITTERS AND MOBILE PHONES
Radio transmitter equipment (vehicle mobile phones, CB radios, amateur radio etc.) cannot be used inside the vehicle unless a
separate aerial is mounted externally. Transmission and reception of these devices may be affected by the shielding effect of the
vehicle body. As far as the use of EC-approved mobile phones is concerned (GSM, GPRS, UMTS, LTE), follow the usage
instructions provided by the mobile phone Manufacturer. The use of these devices inside the passenger compartment (without
an external aerial) may cause the electrical systems to malfunction. This could compromise the safety of the vehicle in addition
to constituting a potential hazard for passengers' health. If mobile phones/laptops/smartphones/tablets are inside the vehicle
and/or close to the electronic key, a reduced performance of the Passive Entry/Keyless Entry-N-Go system may occur.

INSTALLATION OF ACCESSORIES
Before fitting any accessories, please consult your authorised Fiat Dealership.
IMPORTANT Your vehicle is equipped with a diagnosis connector for checking and servicing the electronic control system. Do
not connect a device other than a diagnosis tool for inspections and service to this connector. Otherwise, the battery could be
discharged, the electronic devices of the vehicle could malfunction, or other unexpected problems could result. In addition,
malfunctions caused by connecting a device other than a diagnosis tool may not be covered under warranty.
The installation of accessories, optional parts, etc., should only be carried out within the limits prescribed by law in your country,
and in accordance with the guidelines and warnings contained within the documents accompanying this vehicle. Only FCA Italy
S.p.A. approved accessories should be fitted to your vehicle.
Improper installation of electrical parts could cause fire, please refer to the Modification/ alteration to the electrical or fuel
systems section within this owner’s manual.
Using a cellular phone or radio set inside the vehicle without an external antenna may cause electrical system interference,
which could lead to unsafe vehicle operation.
Tyres and wheels which do not meet specifications must not be used. Refer to the “Specifications” section for information
regarding wheel and tyre sizes.
Do not fail to read the accessories manuals prior to the installation of accessories, parts or other modifications to the vehicle!
IMPORTANT POINTS!
Due to a large number of accessories and replacement parts of different manufactures available in the market, it is not possible,
not only for FCA Italy S.p.A. but also an authorised Fiat Dealership, to check whether the attachment or installation of such
parts affects the overall safety of your vehicle.
Even when such parts are officially authorised, for example by a “general operators permit” (an appraisal for the part) or through
the execution of the part in an officially approved manner of construction, or when a single operation permit following the
attachment or installation of such parts, it cannot be deduced from that alone, that the driving safety of your vehicles has not
been affected.
Consider also that there basically exists no liability on the part of the appraiser or the official. Maximum safety can only be
ensured with parts recommended, sold and fitted or installed by an authorised Fiat Dealership (replacement with original FCA
Italy S.p.A. spare parts). The same also pertains to modifications of vehicles with respect to the production specifications. For
safety reasons, do not attempt any modifications other than those that follow the recommendations of an authorised Fiat
Dealership.

reduce the cooling efficiency.
Too much cooling is not good for the
health. The inside air temperature
should only be 5 to 6 °C below the
outside air temperature.
When operating the system, make
sure the air intake, which is located in
front of the windscreen, is free of
obstructions such as leaves and snow.
Leaves collected in the air-intake
plenum may reduce air flow and plug
the plenum water drains.
Air conditioning system refrigerant
recommendations
If the air conditioning seems less
effective than usual, the cause might be
a refrigerant leak. We recommend you
to have the system inspected.
The air conditioning system in your
vehicle must be charged with the
refrigerant HFC-134a (R134a).
Use of any other refrigerant or lubricant
will cause severe damage which will
result in the need to replace your
vehicle’s entire air conditioning system.
The release of refrigerant into the
atmosphere should be prevented.
It is recommended that the refrigerant
be recovered and recycled for further
use.
During a long period of disuse
The air conditioning should be operated
for at least five minutes each week,
even in cold weather. This is to preventpoor lubrication of the compressor
internal parts and to maintain the air
conditioning in the best operating
condition.PASSENGER
COMPARTMENT AIR
CLEANER / POLLEN
FILTER
An air filter has been incorporated into
this air conditioner so that dirt and dust
are cleaned from the air.
Replace the air filter periodically as its
ability to clean the air will be reduced as
it collects pollen and dirt.
NOTE Operation in certain conditions
such as driving on a dusty road and
frequent use of the air conditioner can
lead to reduction of service life of the
filter. When you feel that the airflow is
lower than normal or when the
windscreen or windows start to fog up
easily, replace the air filter. We
recommend you to have it checked.
REAR WINDOW
DEMISTER SWITCH
(where provided)
The rear window demister switch can
be operated when the engine is
running. Push the switch to turn on the
rear window demister. It will be turned
off automatically in about 20 minutes.
To turn off the demister within about
20 minutes, push the switch again. The
indicator lamp (A) will illuminate while
the demister is on.Manual type
Automatic type
NOTE On vehicles equipped with
heated mirrors, when the rear window

NOTE The values under item 9 are
applicable to unladen vehicles. The
value can also be varied depending on
the tyre size, optional equipment and
suspension conditions.
Operating hints
Have your vehicle serviced prior to
towing a heavy trailer, taking particular
care of the state of engine tune, the
condition of brakes, steering and tyres.
Adjust tyre pressures to those
specifications at trailer towing (refer to
“tyre inflation pressure”). Check the
tyres, wiring and brakes (if fitted) on the
trailer.
Leave plenty of room between the
front of your vehicle and the preceding
vehicle. If the trailer begins to sway or
becomes difficult to handle, gently slow
down or apply the independent trailer
brakes (if fitted) NOT the vehicle brakes.
Stop the vehicle and trailer in a safe
location. One cause of swaying is poor
trailer balance and until this has been
overcome the swaying will recur.
Relocated the load in your trailer and
re-assess the problem.
Be sure that the driving speed does
not exceed 100 km/h for trailer
operation.
It is also recommended that you
obey the local regulations in case
driving speed with a trailer is limited to
less than 100 km/h.
To prevent the clutch from slipping
(vehicle with a M/T only), do not rev the
engine more than is required when
starting off.
To prevent shocks from the overrun
brake, depress the brake pedal lightly at
first and then more strongly.
To make full use of engine braking,
change to a lower gear before
descending a slope.
The body, brakes, clutch, and
chassis will be under additional strain
when towing a trailer.
The heavier weight and higher rolling
and air resistance will increase fuel
consumption.
Additional precautions for vehicles
equipped with an automatic
transmission
It is recommended a lower gear in
sports mode on slopes or at low speed,
taking care to keep the engine speed
below the red zone.
WARNING
89)Danger of Accident! A towing bar
should be fitted according to Fiat
Dealership guidelines.

FUEL SELECTION
Recommended fuel:Cetane number
(EN590) 51 or higher
42) 43) 45) 46)
NOTE For diesel fuel, due to the
separation of paraffin, the fluidity
decreases considerably as the
temperature falls. Because of this fact
there are two kinds of fuel: “summer”
and “winter”. This must be considered
in winter use. Select either of the two
kinds of fuel in accordance with
ambient temperature.
Above -5 °C: “Summer” diesel
Below -5 °C: “Winter” diesel
When travelling abroad, find out in
advance about the fuels served in local
service stations.
Poor-quality diesel fuel can cause
deposits to form in the injector, resulting
in black smoke and rough idling.
If these problems occur, you are
advised to add a cleaning additive to
the diesel fuel when you refuel the
vehicle. The additive will break up and
remove the deposits, thereby returning
the engine to a normal condition.
Be sure to use a FCA GENUINE
DIESEL FUEL SYSTEM CLEANER.
Using an unsuitable additive could
make the engine malfunction. For
details, please contact your Fiat
Dealsership.Graphical expression for consumer
information
B7: Diesel fuel containing up to 7%
(V/V) Fatty Acid Methyl Esters – Eg. EN
590 compliant diesel.
The diesel engine are compatible with
B7 type diesel (containing 7% fatty acid
methyl esters) conforming to European
standards EN590.
47)
IMPORTANT
42)Diesel-powered vehicles to comply with
the Euro 4 and Euro 5 regulation are
designed to use only diesel fuel that meets
the EN 590 standard. Use of any other type
of diesel fuel would adversely affect the
engine’s performance and durability.
43)Your vehicle is designed to use only
diesel fuel that meets the EN 590 standard.
Use of any other type of diesel fuel (bio
diesel, methylester, etc.) would adversely
affect the engine’s performance and
durability.
44)For diesel-powered vehicles, if you
continuously use fuel that contains more
than 7 % bio-diesel, the impurities in the
bio-diesel could precipitate. If this occurs,
the properties of the fuel in the fuel tank will
change, which could adversely affect the
engine, fuel filter, and other components,
leading to engine problems. If the engine is
not operating properly, switch to fuel that
contains7%orless biodiesel as soon as
possible and have the vehicle checked at
an authorised Fiat dealership.
45)For diesel engines, only use diesel fuel
for motor vehicles in accordance with EN
590 European specifications. The use of
other products or mixtures may damage
the engine beyond repair and consequently
invalidate the warranty, due to the damage
caused. If you accidentally introduce other
types of fuel into the tank, do not start the
engine. Empty the tank. If the engine has
been run for even an extremely limited
amount of time, you must not only drain the
fuel tank, but the rest of the supply circuit
as well.
