 EQUIPMENT AND OPTIONS

New Fiat MultiplaThe New Fiat Multipla aims to offer good value for money. Both specifications therefore offer a comprehensive list of standard equipment.

In addition to multifunction seats (all reclining and the rear seats designed to fold up and remove) and the numerous safety devices (including ABS, Isofix attachments, front and side airbags) all versions come with power steering, central locking, electric front windows (electric rear windows on the Dynamic version) and also a manual climate control system, door mirrors, body-coloured bumpers and door remote control.

Other features include a parcel rack, rear head-restraint, 12 volt power point, height-adjustable steering wheel, 15 inch wheel trims and a second generation Fiat CODE.

In Italy, the Dynamic specification also offers a set of exclusive features: a climate control system with automatic temperature control, window-bags, radio with CD player, pouches behind the front seats and a sliding central rear seat, door mirrors with electric fold-down and demister function, foglights and superior interior trim.

These are complemented by further options, also available on the active specification: metallic paintwork, double electric sunroof, alarm with remote control, CONNECT NAV, CD changer, ESP, radio controls on the steering wheel, proximity sensor for reversing and alloy wheels with oversized tyres.

Accessories

The New Multipla accessory range emphasises the flexibility of use, versatility and comfort of the vehicle: its habitability, in other words. Apart from anything else, the true strength of the new model is its ability to adapt to different requirements and situations.

For leisure time, for example, the New Multipla may be equipped with a freebox that may be fitted on the roof or aluminium roof-racks that can be used to carry skis and snowboards. One particularly sophisticated technical solution is a bicycle holder that can be located lengthways to replace the rear seats: up to three bicycles can be carried as a result of this modular exploitation of the available space.

Customers can also order a hand-held navigation system with a 6.5" touch screen. This sophisticated device is based on the Windows CE operating system with automotive HMI complete with resident maps on compact flash, in addition to all applications created for PDAs. The hand-held navigation system also uses its standard interfaces including USB ports.

The wide array of accessories available for the New Multipla is complemented by a 17" alloy wheel; a perfectly integrated sideskirt and spoiler and, lastly, some conventional and satellite anti-theft systems that integrate with the Fiat CODE functions to offer total vehicle protection.

'Fiat per te'

Anyone who purchases a New Multipla can benefit from the five years of exclusive benefits offered by Fiat per te, a unique package that offers more value when you purchase a new vehicle. This exclusive service package assists customers with all events that occur throughout the first five years of their car's life. In particular, Fiat guarantees the repair of faults and paint defects already covered by the contractual warranty up to five years from the date of purchase or up to a maximum of 120,000 km.

'Fiat per te' also offers a timely and comprehensive roadside assistance programme. The following are completely free if you break down: towing (even if you have an accident), mobile workshop (only in Italy), recovery of the car after repair, courtesy car, cash advance, sending out of spare parts, hotel expenses and passenger return.

But the benefits of 'Fiat per te' do not finish here. Suffice it to say that if customers decide to sell their vehicle before the five years of the contract are up, they can choose one of two attractive options. The first allows them to save on the purchase price of the new car (Fiat, Lancia or Alfa Romeo) to a price reduction equal to the unused portion of their 'Fiat per te' package.

The second option involves transferring every benefit of the package to the new purchaser until the time or kilometre limit is complete. This means that the vehicle is worth more at the time of sale.
