EXTENDING THE BOOT WITH SLIDING SEAT
Before extending the boot, release the seat belt buckle (with black
button, if fastened) and accompany the webbing in the reel to prevent it
from twisting; insert the tongues, overlapping them, in the retaining
system (A) inside the reel compartment.
Moving the seat backwards or forwards
The rear seat is of the double-seat type. It is possible to move the rear
seat backwards or forwards from the boot using handles (B) or (C); pull
the handle and at the same time move the seats forwards. This makes it
possible to extend the boot capacity.
To extend the boot totally
Proceed as follows:
❒remove the rear parcel and previously shown;
❒make sure the headrests are completely lowered;
❒use levers (D) and (E) to fold the rear seat backs on the cushions;
❒make sure the seats are completely in backward position by means of
handles (B) or (C);
❒use tapes (F) and (G) to tilt the seats completely.
IMPORTANT Tilting is only possible with rear seats positioned
completely backwards.

Never pull tapes (B) or (C) with seats in
load position as they will slide vertically
thus hindering seat repositioning.WARNING

All restraint devices must bear the certification data,
together with the control brand, on a solidly fixed
label which must absolutely never be removed.Over 1.50 m in height, from the point of view of
restraint systems, children are considered as adults
and wear the seat belts normally.
Lineaccessori Fiat offers seats for each weight group,
which are the recommended choice, as they have been
designed and experimented specifically for Fiat cars.

WARNINGWith passenger’s air bag active, never place child’s seats with the cradle facing
backwards since the air bag activation could cause to the child serious injuries,
even mortal, regardless of the seriousness of the crash that triggered it. You are
advised to carry children always with proper restraint systems on the rear seats, as
this is the most protected position in the case of a crash.
WARNINGSERIOUS DANGER Should it be absolutely necessary to carry a baby on the front
passenger seat with a child's seat with the cradle facing backwards, deactivate the
passenger's air bags (front and side on the seat, where provided) using the key
switch (where provided) and then check warning light Fon the cluster to make
sure that deactivation has actually took place (see paragraph “ Manual
deactivation of passenger's air bag (front and side bags)”).
The front passenger's seat shall be adjusted in the most backward position to
prevent any contact between child's seat and dashboard.

PARKING
Proceed as follows:
❒stop the engine and engage the handbrake;
❒engage a gear (on a slope, engage first gear if the car is faced uphill or
reverse if it is faced downhill) and leave the wheels steered.
Block the wheels with a wedge or a stone if the car is parked on a steep
slope. Avoid leaving the car parked with a wheel on the sidewalk or
steered against the kerb. Do not leave the ignition key at MAR to
prevent draining the battery. Always remove the key when you leave
the car.

Engine compartment
At the end of the winter the engine compartment
should be carefully washed, without directing the jet
against electronic control units. Contact a specialised
workshop to have this done.
IMPORTANT Washing should be carried out with the
engine cold and the ignition key at STOP. After
washing make sure that the various protections (e.g.:
rubber caps and various covers) have not been
damaged or removed.INTERIORS
Periodically check that water is not trapped under the
mats (due to water dripping off shoes, umbrellas, etc.)
which could cause oxidisation of the sheet metal.
CLEANING SEATS AND FABRIC AND
VELVET PARTS
Use a soft brush or vacuum cleaner to remove dust.
Velvet is cleaned better if the brush is moistened.
Rub the seats with a sponge moistened with a solution
of water and neutral detergent.
CLEANING LEATHER SEATS
Remove dried on dirt with lightly moistened chamois
leather or cloth without pressing too hard.
Remove liquid or grease stains with a dry absorbent
cloth without rubbing. Then wipe with a soft cloth or
chamois leather with water and neutral soap.
If the stain persists, use specific products, carefully
following the instructions for use.
IMPORTANT Never use spirit or alcohol-based
products.
WARNINGNever use flammable
products like oil ether or
rectified petrol for
cleaning car interiors.
Electrostatic discharges
generated by rubbing
during cleaning
operations could cause
fire.

Upholstery of your car has been designed
to withstand wear deriving from common
use of the car. You are however
recommended to avoid strong and/or
continuous scratching with clothing
accessories such as metallic buckles, studs,
Velcro fastenings and the like, since these
items cause circumscribed stress of the
cover fabric that could lead to yarn
breaking, and damage the cover as a
consequence.
INTERIOR PLASTIC PARTS
For routine cleaning, wipe with a cloth with water and
neutral non-abrasive detergent. Remove grease or
persistent stains with appropriate products designed
to preserve the appearance of components.
IMPORTANT Never use spirit or petroleum to clean
the instrument panel or other plastic parts.STEERING WHEEL / GEARBOX LEVER
KNOB AND SEATS COATED WITH REAL
LEATHER
These components shall only be cleaned with water
and neutral soap. Never use spirit or alcohol-based
products.
Before using special products for cleaning interiors,
read carefully label instructions and indications to
make sure they are free from spirit and/or alcohol-
based substances.
If when cleaning the windscreen with special glass
products, some drops fall on the leather covering of
the steering wheel/gear lever knob remove them
immediately and then clean with water and neutral
soap.
IMPORTANT Take the utmost care when engaging
the steering lock to prevent scratching the leather
covering.
WARNINGDo not keep aerosol cans in the car: they might explode. Aerosol cans must never
be exposed to a temperature above 50°C. The temperature inside the car exposed
to the sun may go well beyond that figure.
