SUN VISORS
They are located at the sides of the driving mirror. They can be pivoted
frontwise and sideways.
On the back of the driver’s sun visor there is a document pocket,
whereas on the passenger side there is a vanity mirror.
CURRENT SOCKETS
These are located as follows:
❒socket (A) on the dashboard beside the ashtray;
❒socket (B) in the boot, on the left side (optional).
Current sockets are powered when the ignition key is at MAR.
To use the current sockets remove the protection cover.
IMPORTANT With the engine off and ignition key at MAR, prolonged
use (or more than 1 hour) of accessories with high current intake could
deploy the battery, even preventing the engine from starting.
Correct functioning is only ensured if the accessories are connected with
a homologated plug, as installed on all Lineaccessori Fiat components.
F0E0237m
Do not use the socket for accessories with power over 180W (maximum intake 15A).

FOOD BOX (where prvided)
The food box fitted on Fiat Multipla has a capacity of 8 litres which means
that it can contain up to three one and a half litre bottles, equal to max.
4.5 kg distributed between the two boxes.
The box, that can be fitted either in front or rear the central seat, is
insulated and can be used to cool or warm up the food box according to
your needs. When using for cooling, a temperature difference of
approximately 20°C can be achieved between the temperature inside the
box and that of the passenger compartment after approximately one
hour of operation. The lowest possible temperature that can be reached
in any case is not lower than 8-10°C.
To prevent draining the battery charge, the system is connected to the
electrical system via the ignition key. As a result, the box will only work
when the engine is running.
You should remove perishables from the box if you leave the car parked
for longer than two hours.
Switch to position 1 = to warm; position 2 = to cool.
If another food box is fitted, you can connect it to the 12 V outlet in the
boot using the coil cable provided for the purpose. You are
recommended to connect it only if strictly necessary in order to limit
electric absorption.

IMPORTANT If one of the doors is not perfectly closed, or there is a
system fault, the central locking device will not work and after 8 or 9
attempts in rapid succession the device will cut out for about 30 seconds.
During these 30 seconds the doors can be locked or unlocked manually,
without involving the electric system. After 30 seconds the central
system is ready to receive commands again. If the reason for the
malfunction has been removed, the device will start to work properly
again. If not it will cut out once more.
IMPORTANT If one or both rear doors are open and the remote
control (or the key in the door lock) is operated, the central door
locking system will lock all the doors lowering the door sill buttons.
When closing the open doors they will lock.
