Occupant Restraint Systems; Important Safety Precautions - Fiat 2015 500 Owner's Manual

WARNING!
• Driving with the liftgate open can allow poisonous
exhaust gases into your vehicle. You and your
passengers could be injured by these fumes. Keep
the liftgate closed when you are operating the
vehicle.
• If you are required to drive with the liftgate open,
make sure that all windows are closed, and the
climate control blower switch is set at high speed.
Do not use the recirculation mode.
NOTE: Gas props support the liftgate in the open posi-
tion. However, because the gas pressure drops with
temperature, it may be necessary to assist the props when
opening the liftgate in cold weather.
