54G039
Never drive your vehicle with
the parking brake on: rear
brake effectiveness can be reduced
from overheating, brake life may be
shortened, or permanent brake dam-
age may result.
If the parking brake does not hold
the vehicle securely or does not ful-
ly release, have your vehicle in-
spected immediately by an autho-
rized Fiat Dealership.
WARNING
Always set the parking brake
fully before leaving your ve-
hicle or it may move, causing injury
or damage. When parking, make sure
the gearshift lever for manual
transaxle vehicles is in 1st gear or “R”
(Reverse) and the gearshift lever for
automatic transaxle vehicles is in “P”
(Park). Remember, even though the
transaxle is in gear or in Park, you
must set the parking brake fully.
WARNING
When parking the vehicle in
extremely cold weather, the
following procedure should be used:
1) Set the parking brake.
2) Manual transaxle - turn off the en-
gine, then shift into reverse or first
gear.
Automatic transaxle - shift into
“P” (Park) and turn off the engine.
3) With the engine off, get out of the
vehicle and put chocks under the
wheels.
4) Release the parking brake.
When you return to your vehicle,
you must remember to first set the
parking brake, then remove the
wheel chocks.
WARNING
For automatic transaxle vehicles, always
set the parking brake before moving the
gearshift lever to the “P” (PARK) position.
If you park on an incline and shift into “P”
before setting the parking brake, the
weight of the vehicle may make it difficult
to shift out of “P” when you are ready to
drive the vehicle.
When preparing to drive the vehicle,
move the gearshift lever out of the “P” po-
sition before releasing the parking brake.

IMPORTANT After folding the rear
seatback forward, do not allow any for-
eign material to enter the lock opening.
This may cause damage to the inside of
the lock and prevent the seatback from
being locked securely.

Pull the lock release strap (1) rearward

FOLDING REAR SEATS
The rear seats of your vehicle can be fold-
ed forward to provide additional cargo
space.
To fold the rear seats forward:
Hook the webbing of the outboard lap-
shoulder belts in the belt hangers.
IMPORTANT When you move a seat-
back, make sure the belt webbing is
hooked in the seat belt hangers so the seat
belts are not caught by the seatback, seat
hinge, or seat latch. This helps prevent
damage to the belt system.
Make sure the belt webbing is not twist-
ed.
Stow the seat belt buckles of the cen-
ter and right seating position as shown
in the illustration.
IMPORTANT When you fold the rear
seatback forward, stow the seat belt buck-
les of the center and right seating position

Pull the release lever on the top of each
split seat, and fold the seatbacks for-
ward.

INSTALLATION OF
RADIO FREQUENCY
TRANSMITTERS
We recommend that you always ask a FI-
AT Dealership about frequency band, max
output power, antenna position at vehicle
and specific conditions for installation
and/or use before installing a radio trans-
mitter in your vehicle. Such equipments
may cause the electronic control system
to malfunction if they are incorrectly in-
stalled or they are not suited for the ve-
hicle.
RADIO ANTENNA
(for versions/markets, where provided)
The radio antenna at the front of the roof
can be folded down and is removable. To
fold the antenna rearward, be sure to grip
the bottom of antenna. To remove the an-
tenna, turn it counterclockwise. To rein-
stall the antenna, turn it clockwise firmly
by hand.
IMPORTANT To avoid damage to the ra-
dio antenna:
Remove the antenna when using an au-
tomatic vehicle wash.
Remove or fold down the antenna
when the antenna hits anything such as
a low ceiling in a parking garage or
putting a vehicle cover over your ve-
hicle.

ROOF RAILS OR ROOF
RACK ANCHORS
(for versions/markets, where provided)
You can use the roof rails to attach the
optional roof rack which is available at
your Fiat Dealership. If you use a roof
rack, observe the instructions and pre-
cautions in this section and provided with
the roof rack.
Make sure the roof rack is securely in-
stalled.
To mount various types of cargo (such
as skis, bicycles, etc.) properly, use suit-
able attachments which are available
from your Fiat Dealership. Be sure to
install the attachments properly and se-
curely according to the instructions
provided. Do not mount cargo direct-
ly on the roof panel. The cargo can
damage the roof panel.
The gross weight of the roof rack plus
cargo must not exceed the loading ca-
pacity (50 kg -110 lbs). Also, do not let
the gross vehicle weight (fully loaded
vehicle including driver, passengers, car-
go, roof load and trailer tongue weight)
exceed the Gross Vehicle Weight Rat-
ing (GVWR) listed in the “SPECIFICA-
TIONS” section of this manual.
