FIAT 500 - Manual (Page 58)

To open it, enable the handle, opening one of the
front doors or unlocking the doors with the remote
control or using the key without remote control.
If the tailgate is not shut properly the instrument
panel warning light
(where provided) will switch
on.
TAILGATE CLOSURE
To close, lower the tailgate by pressing near the lock
until you hear it click.
In the inner part of the tailgate a strap B fig. 54
makes it easier to hold and close the tailgate.
WARNING
Never exceed the maximum allowed
load in the boot (see "Technical
Specifications"). Also make sure that the objects
you place in the boot have been properly
secured, to avoid them from being thrown
forward consequent to sudden braking and
injuring your passengers.
WARNING
Do not travel with the tailgate open:
exhaust gas may enter the passenger
compartment.
WARNING
If you are travelling in areas with few
filling stations and you want to transport
fuel in a spare tank, comply with the law by
using only an approved, suitably secured tank.
However, by doing so, you increase the risk
of fire in case of an accident with your vehicle.
Take care not to knock objects on the
roof rack when opening the tailgate.
