BOOT
OPENING THE BOOT
The boot lock may be released from
the
outside of the car by pressing on the
remote control (where provided) or by
inserting and turning the metallic insert of
the key in the boot lock anticlockwise
as
shown in fig. 74/a. The boot lock can be
released from inside the vehicle
operating
on lever A-fig.73 located on driver side
seat or pressing push-button (where pro-
vided)
B-fig.74/b.BOOT CLOSING
To close the boot, lower it onto the lock
until you hear it click. In emergency con-
ditions (if either the remote control or car
battery is flat),
release the boot lock by
turn the key in clockwise.

fig. 74/aF0R0072m
Do not fit additional objects
onto the rear window shelf or
tailgate (speakers, spoilers,
etc .) except when contem-
plated by the manufacturer to ensure
the correct operation of the side gas
shock absorbers of the tailgate itself.
Never exceed the maximum
allowed load in the boot (see
“Technical Specifications”). Make
sure that the objects are well
arranged in the boot so that they will
not be projected forwards following
sudden braking.
WARNING
Never travel with objects on
the rear window shelf: they
can cause injury to passengers in
the event of an accident or sudden
braking.

TRANSCEIVERS
AND MOBILE PHONES
Radio transceiver equipment (e.g.: e-tacs
mobile phones, HAM radio systems and
the like) shall not be used inside the car
unless a separate aerial is mounted on the
roof.
IMPORTANT The use of similar devices
inside the passenger compartment (with-
out separated aerial) produces radio-fre-
quency electromagnetic fields which,
am-
plified by the resonance effects inside the
passenger compartment,
may cause elec-
trical systems equipping the car to mal-
function. This could compromise safety in
addition to constituting a potential hazard
for the passengers.
In addition, transmission and reception of
these devices may be affected by the
shielding effect of the car body.
As concerns EC-approved mobile phones
(GSM, GPRS, UMTS),
strictly comply with
the instructions for use provided by the
mobile phone’s manufacturer.
ACCESSORIES
PURCHASED BY THE
OWNER
If after buying the car, you decide to install
electrical accessories that require a per-
manent electric supply (alarm, satellite an-
titheft system, etc.) or accessories that in
any case burden the electric supply,
con-
tact Fiat Dealership,
whose qualified
perso nnel, beside s sugge sting the most suitable devices belonging to Linea access-
ories Fiat, will also evaluate the overall elect-
ric absorption,
checking whether the car’s
electric system is able to withstand the
load required, or whether it needs to be
integrated with a more powerful battery.
Be very careful when fitting
non-standard additional
spoilers , light alloy wheels or wheel
cups: they could reduce brake
venti-
lation and consequently brake effi-
ciency in the case of repeated, violent
braking or on long downhill roads.
Make sure that nothing obstructs the
pedal stroke (mats, etc.)
WARNING
ELECTRICAL/ELECTRONIC
DEVICE INSTALLATION
Electrical and electronic devices installed
after buying the car by after-market ser-
vice must carry the following label:
auth-
orises the installation of transceiving dev-
ices provided that they are installed accord-
ing to rules of good engineering practice
respecting the manufacturer’s indications
by a specialised centre.
IMPORTANT Traffic police may not allow
the car on the road in the event of
as-
sembly of devices which imply modifica-
tions to the features of the car. This may
also cause lapse of warranty in relation to
faults caused by the change or either di-
rectly or indirectly related to it.
shall
not be liable for damage caused by the
installation of accessories either not sup-
plied or recommended by
and/or installed
in compliance with the provided instruc-
tions.

Electric devices
Use electric devices only for the amount
of time needed. Rear heated window, ad-
ditional headlights, windscreen wipers and
heater fan need a considerable amount of
energy, therefore increasing the require-
ment of current increases fuel consump-
tion (up to +25% in the urban cycle).
Climate control
The climate control system requires high-
er fue l consumptio n (up to +20% in av-
erage): use the air vents when the exter-
nal temperature allows to.
Spoilers
The use of non-c erti fied aerodynamic
item s may advers ely affe ct air drag and
consumption levels.DRIVING STYLE
Starting
Do not warm the engine up with the car
standing: the engine warms up very slow-
ly in these condition s, increasing con-
sumption and emissions. It is advisable to
start off immediately and slowly keeping
the engine speed down: the engine will
warm up much faster this way.
Unnecessary actions
Avoid revving up when starting at traffic
lights or before stopping the engine. The
latter action, like doubling the clutch, is un-
necessary and causes increase of con-
sumption and pollution.
Gear selection
Use a higher gear as soon as traffic and
road conditions allow. Using a low gear
for faster acceleration will increase con-
sumption.
In the same way improper use of a high
gear increases consumption, emissions an
engine wear.CONTAINING
RUNNING COSTS
Here are some suggestions which may
help you to keep the running costs of your
car down and lower the amount of toxic
emissions released into the atmosphere.
GENERAL CONSIDERATIONS
Car maintenance
Have checks and adjustments carried out
in accordance with the “Service schedule”.
Ty r e s
Check tyre pressure regularly at least
once ever y four weeks: excessively low
pressure will increase consumption be-
cause rolling resistance will be higher.
Unnecessary loads
Do not travel with too much luggage
stowed in the boot. The weight of the car
(especially when driving in town) and its
trim greatly affects consumption and sta-
bility.
