suitable adapter.

Observe the maximum power rating to
avoid damaging the accessory.

The connection of an electrical device
not approved by Fiat, such as a USB

charger, may adversely affect the operation of

vehicle electrical systems, causing faults such
as poor radio reception or interference with
displays in the screens.

USB socket

The socket can be used to connect a portable
device or a USB memory stick.

The socket reads audio files that are sent to your

audio system to be played through the vehicle's
speakers.

These files can be managed using the steering-

mounted controls or those on the audio system.

The USB socket also allows a
smartphone to be connected by

Android Auto

®

or CarPlay

®

, enabling certain

smartphone applications to be used on the touch
screen.
For best results, use a cable made or approved
by the device manufacturer.
These applications can be managed using the
steering-mounted controls or the audio system
controls.

When the USB socket is used, the
portable device charges automatically.

While charging, a message is displayed if the
power drawn by the portable device exceeds
the current supplied by the vehicle.

For more information about how to use this
equipment, refer to the sections describing
the audio and telematics systems.

220 V socket

Depending on version, a 220 V/50 Hz socket
(maximum power: 120 W) is located underneath
the front right-hand seat and therefore
accessible from row 2.
This socket works with the engine running, as
well as in STOP mode of Stop & Start.

► Lift the cover.

► Check that the indicator lamp is on green.

► To remove it, lift it up.

► To install it, insert the guides into their

housings.

In the event of sudden deceleration,
objects placed on the load space cover

can turn into projectiles.

Loading area fittings

Stowing rings

Use the stowing rings on the rear floor to secure

loads.
As a safety precaution in case of sharp braking,
we recommend placing heavy objects as far
forwards as possible (i.e. near the cab).

We recommend immobilising the load by firmly

securing it using the stowing rings present on

the floor.

Load retaining partition

On the floor, behind the front seats, a vertical

partition protects the driver and front passengers
against the risk of load movement.
Steel or glazed partitions separate the loading
area from the cab.

Recommendations on

loading

The weight of the load must comply with
the Gross Train Weight (GTW).

For more information on

Engine technical

data and towed loads

, refer to the

corresponding section.

If you are using a carrying system (roof
bars/roof rack), comply with the

maximum loads associated with this system.
For more information on

Roof bars/Roof

rack

, refer to the corresponding section.

Make sure that the size, shape and
volume of the loads carried are

compatible with the highway code and safety

regulations and do not impair the driver’s field

of vision.

The load must be evenly distributed in
the loading area so as not to interfere

with driving the vehicle.
Place the load close to the side wall panels,
or push it against the side wall panels
between the wheel arches.
However, it is recommended that heavy
objects are placed as close to the cab as
possible as a precaution in case of sharp
braking.

Firmly secure all parts of the load using

the stowing rings on the floor of the

loading area.
For more information on the

Interior fittings

and in particular on the stowing rings, refer to
the corresponding section.

To avoid the risk of injury or accident, the
load must be made stable so that it

cannot slide, tip over, fall or be projected. To
do this, use only retaining straps that conform
to current standards (DIN, for example).
For more information on putting straps in
place, refer to the manufacturer’s user guide.
To prevent the load from sliding, there must
not be any empty spaces between the load
items and the vehicle wall panels.
As well as the straps, optimise the stability
of the load with stable handling equipment
(wedges, rigid blocks of wood or padding).

When washing your vehicle, never clean
the inside directly using a water jet.

Ease of use and comfort

The table has a central storage space covered
by a lid. When deployed, this device becomes
a table with two table tops on which you can
place objects. The central part has two cup/
can holders and can also be used to hold small
objects (e.g. credit card, pen).
The assembly is mounted on a runner allowing it
to be positioned either in row 2 or row 3.

Storage

► Slide back the cover for access to 11 litres of

storage space.

The storage space can only support a
maximum weight of 3 kg; do not exceed

this maximum load in use.

Moving forward or backward

► Lift the control (without going beyond the

point of resistance) and slide the assembly
forwards or backwards.

► Release the control when it is in the desired

position.

► Check that the table is secured on the runner.

If this is not the case, move the assembly slightly
to the next notch on the runner.

You can move the table in both the open
and stowed position. However, to ensure

safety, it is advised that you handle the
assembly in the stowed position.

For the table to run smoothly, ensure that
no objects are blocking the space used

by the runner on the floor.

Before manoeuvring the table, check that
there is nothing on the table.

Unfolding

► Operate the control on the top and pull the

table assembly up until it clicks into place.

► Pull each table top fully up then pivot them on

each side into the horizontal position.

Folding

► Raise each table top, going beyond the point

of resistance, to the vertical position.

► Push each table top down into its housing

until it clicks into place.

► Push the control then tip the table assembly

downward until it clicks into place.

Before stowing the table tops, check that
they are clear. Before tipping the

assembly down, check that the two table tops
have clicked home in the low position and that
there is nothing in the cup holder area (such
as a can or pen).

Cup holders

Two cups or cans and small objects (such as
a credit card, portable ashtray or pen) can be
carried in the middle of the unfolded table.

Liquids carried in an open vessel (a cup
or mug) could be spilt, presenting a risk.

Be careful.
Never use the table in this position while the
vehicle is being driven.

Removal

► Raise the control fully to release the

anchorages and tip the table assembly forward.

► Remove the table assembly through the

sliding door in row 2.

Check that there is nothing in the space

around the runner on the floor, so that

the table disengages cleanly.

Changing the direction

With the table removed, you can turn it 180°.

Remove a seat to make this easier.

Refitting

► Check that there is no object obstructing the

runner and preventing proper locking.

14/02/2022 15:33:18

Ease of use and comfort

► Check that the control is in the upper position

(locking mechanism armed). If not, lift this control
fully to arm the mechanism.

► Place the front of the table on the runner.

► Taking care not to interfere with the control,

tip the assembly towards the rear until you hear
it lock into place.

► Check that the assembly is fully locked into

the runner. If not, slide the assembly gently along
the runner until it meets the next notch.

Check that the table is fully locked into
the runner - risk of injury in the event of

an accident or sudden braking.

► Release the control until the guide locks into

the runner.

Be careful of passengers' feet when
manoeuvring the assembly.

Storage off the runner

If removing the table from the vehicle for
storage, ensure that it is placed in a

clean area, in order to avoid introducing any
foreign bodies into the mechanisms.
The table must be placed outside the vehicle,

on a flat and level surface, resting on the

guide so as not to damage visible parts.

Caution, when out of the vehicle, the
table leans to the right or left when

placed on a surface.

Incorrect use of the table can cause
serious injury.

Never use the table in the open or deployed
position while the vehicle is in motion. In the
event of sudden braking, any object placed on
the table can become a projectile.
Ensure that the table is correctly stowed in

the low position before setting off.

Never use the table tops as seats or lean on
them.
A label attached to the side of the table
serves as a reminder of this.

Never place hot objects such as
saucepans or frying pans on the table

- risk of damaging the surface and starting a

fire!

When the table is deployed, each table
top can support a maximum of 10 kg. If

you exceed the maximum weight limit, you
risk damaging part or all of the table.
Never lift the table when it is between
individual seats; you risk damaging the table
tops.

Before moving the table or an individual
seat forwards or backwards, make sure

that the seat's backrest is upright and the
table is stowed.

Heating and Ventilation

Advice

Using the ventilation and air

conditioning system

► To ensure that air is distributed evenly,

keep the external air intake grilles at the base
of the windscreen, the nozzles, the vents, the
air outlets and the air extractor in the boot
free from obstructions.

► Do not cover the sunshine sensor located

on the dashboard; this sensor is used to
regulate the automatic air conditioning
system.

► Operate the air conditioning system for at

least 5 to 10 minutes once or twice a month to
keep it in good working order.

► If the system does not produce cold air,

switch it off and contact a Fiat Dealership or a

qualified workshop.

When towing a large load on a steep gradient

in high temperatures, switching off the air

conditioning increases the available engine
power, enhancing the towing capacity.

Avoid driving for too long with the

ventilation off or with prolonged operation

of interior air recirculation. Risk of misting and
deterioration of the air quality!

If the interior temperature is very high
after the vehicle has stood for a long

time in the sunshine, air the passenger
compartment for a few moments.

Put the air flow control at a setting high

enough to quickly change the air in the
passenger compartment.

Condensation created by the air
conditioning results in a discharge of

water underneath the vehicle. This is perfectly
normal.

Servicing the ventilation and air

conditioning system

► Ensure that the passenger compartment

filter is in good condition and have the filter

elements replaced regularly.
We recommend using a composite passenger

compartment filter. Its specific active additive

helps protect against polluting gases and bad
smells.

► To ensure correct operation of the

air conditioning system, have it checked
according to the recommendations in the
Manufacturer’s service schedule.

Contains R134A fluorinated

greenhouse gases

Depending on version and country of sale, the
air conditioning system may contain R134A

fluorinated greenhouse gases. Gas capacity

0.5 kg (+/- 0.025 kg), GWP index 1430 (CO

2

equivalent: 0.715 t).

Stop & Start

The heating and air conditioning systems

only work when the engine is running.
Temporarily deactivate the Stop & Start
system to maintain a comfortable temperature
in the passenger compartment.
For more information on

Stop & Start

, refer

to the corresponding section.

ECO driving mode

Selecting this mode reduces electrical

energy consumption, but restricts the
performance of the heating and air
conditioning systems, although it does not
