Chance knocks or sudden
braking can cause sudden
shifts of the load which could jeopar-
dise the safety of the driver and the
passengers: before you start off make
sure the load is firmly secured by us-
ing the hooks built into the floor for
that purpose fig.111. Use metal ca-
bles, ropes or straps strong enough to
support the weight of the load to be
fixed.
WARNING
Even if the vehicle is station-
ary on a steep hill or side-
ways incline, goods not properly se-
cured could fall out when the back or
side doors are opened.
WARNING
Observe the enforced rules if
you need to carry a spare can
of petrol. Only use a homologated can
and secure it to the load anchoring
eyebolts.
Even given these precautions, the risk
of fire in the event of an accident is in-
creased.
WARNING
In addition to these general precautions,
some simple measures could enhance dri-
ving safety, comfort and the length of the
vehicle’s life:
❒distribute the load evenly over the
floor: if you need to concentrate it all
in one point choose the part between
the axles;
❒remember that the lower the load is,
the lower the vehicle centre of gravity
will be, contributing to a safe drive; you
should therefore always position the
heavier goods at the bottom;
❒finally, remember that the way in which
the vehicle moves is influenced by the
weight being carried. In particular, stop-
ping distance lengthens particularly at
high speed.

IMPORTANT A battery which is kept at
a charge of less than 50% (optical indica-
tor with dark colour without green area
in the middle) for any length of time will
be damaged by sulphation leading to a re-
duction in cranking power.
Moreover, this might lead to a higher risk
of the battery electrolyte freezing (this
may even occur at -10° C). If the vehicle
is inactive for a long period of time, refer
to “Vehicle inactivity”, in section “Correct
use of the vehicle”.
If after buying the vehicle, you want to in-
stall electric accessories which require
permanent electric supply (alarm, etc.)
contact Fiat Dealership whose qualified
personnel, in addition to suggesting the
most suitable devices, will evaluate the
overall electric absorption, checking
whether the vehicle’s electric system is ca-
pable of withstanding the load required,
or whether it should be integrated with
a more powerful battery. USEFUL ADVICE FOR
LENGTHENING THE LIFE OF
YOUR BATTERY
To avoid draining your battery and length-
en its life, observe the following indica-
tions:
❒when you park the vehicle, ensure the
doors, tailgate and bonnet are closed
properly, the ceiling lights must be off;
❒turn the ceiling lights off. The vehicle
however, is provided with an automat-
ic system for switching off internal
lights;
❒do not keep accessories (e.g. sound sys-
tem, hazard lights, etc.) switched on for
a long time when the engine is not run-
ning;
❒ before performing any operation on the
electrical system, disconnect the bat-
tery negative cable;
❒battery terminals shall always be per-
fectly tightened.
When working on the bat-
tery or near it, always wear
the proper goggles.
WARNINGIn fact, since these devices continue ab-
sorbing energy even when the ignition key
is off, they gradually run down the battery.
