OPENING/CLOSING THE TAILGATE
The tailgate is fitted with an electric lock. To open: unlock front doors
with the key and press lever (A) set under the handle. With doors
locked, the tailgate cannot be opened. Tailgate opening is made easier by
the gas-filled struts on each side.
To close the tailgate, use the handle on the inner trim.

Do not travel with the tailgate open: exhaust fumes could enter the passenger’s
compartment. Be careful not to knock objects on the roof rack when opening the
boot tailgate.WARNING

Never exceed the max. permissible loads (see section “Technical specifications”).
ROOF RACK/SKI RACK
The roof rack or ski rack is to be anchored to the roof in the points
shown in the figure by removing the four caps. To do so, press one end
and slide them for a few millimetres under the trim.
Specific roof/ski rack for Fiat Multipla are available in Lineaccessori Fiat.
IMPORTANT Be careful not to knock objects on the roof rack when
opening the boot tailgate.

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”.
Tyres
Check the pressure of the tyres routinely at an
interval of no more than 4 weeks: if the pressure is
too low, consumption levels increase as resistance to
rolling is 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
stability.Roof rack/ski rack
Remove the roof rack or the ski rack from the roof as
soon as they are no longer used. These accessories
lower air penetration and adversely affect
consumption levels. When needing to carry
particularly voluminous objects, preferably use a
trailer.
Electric devices
Use electric devices only for the amount of time
needed. Rear heated window, additional headlights,
windscreen wipers and heater fan need a considerable
amount of energy, therefore increasing the
requirement of current increases fuel consumption (up
to +25% in the urban cycle).
Climate control
The air conditioner is an additional load which greatly
affects the engine leading to higher consumption (on
average up to +20%). When the temperature outside
the vehicle permits it, use the air vents where possible.
Aerodynamic accessories
The use of non-certified aerodynamic items may
adversely affect air drag and consumption levels.

FUEL CONSUMPTION
The fuel consumption figures given in the table below are determined on the basis of the homologation tests set
down by specific European Directives.
Consumption values are defined by means of the following procedures:
❒urban cycle: cold starting followed by driving that simulates urban use of the car;
❒extra-urban cycle: frequent accelerating in all gears, simulating extraurban use of the car: the speed varies between
0 and 120 km/h;
❒combined consumption: is calculated weighing about 37% of urban cycle consumption and about 63% of
extraurban consumption.
IMPORTANT Road and traffic conditions, weather, driving style, general conditions of the car, fittings and
accessories, load, use of climate control system, roof rack and other situations can affect drag and therefore may
lead to fuel consumption levels different from those shown in the table.
