FUEL
CONSUMPTION
The fuel consumption values, ex-
pressed in litres x 100 km, shown in
the following tables, were defined on
the basis of type-approval tests spec-
ified by European Directives.
Consumption values are defined by
means of the following procedures:
– an urban cycleconsisting of a
cold start and a simulated drive in city
streets;
– an extra-urban cycleconsisting
in frequent accelerations, in all gears,
simulating normal conditions of use.
Speed ranges from 0 to 120 km/h;
–the combined consumption is
calculated as approximately 37% of the
urban cycle and approximately 63% of
the extra-urban cycle.IMPORTANTRoad and traffic
conditions, weather, driving style, fit-
tings and accessories, load, special de-
vices and overall car conditions can
penalise aerodynamic penetration and
influence fuel consumption rates which
can be different from the values shown
in the table (see “Cheap running that
respects the environment” in “Driving
your car” chapter).

ACCESSORY INSTALLATION
Genuine Fiat accessories have been designed with
the Fiat barchetta specifically in mind and have been se-
lected and tested on the car. They are easy to use, re-
liable and practical, qualities that lead to enhanced com-
fort and safety under all driving conditions.
If you wish to give your Fiat barchetta a sportier look,
Fiat has designed light alloy rims, leather panels, spoilers
and sporty bumpers that are fully in keeping with the
car’s line making it more personal and aggressive.
To ensure child safety, the child safety seats offered
by Lineaccessori Fiat meet the requirements of the Eu-
ropean standards currently in force.
You can find accessories from the Fiat line described
in a catalogue available from Fiat Branches, Dealers or
Authorised Workshops. Just ask one of Fiat’s staff to
give you all the details.
The following pages show diagrams and give instruc-
tions for correctly fitting a number of accessories. In-
stallation must always be entrusted to the experts. Fi-
at has specially trained its Dealership staff for work on
the Fiat barchetta.ELECTRONIC CAR ALARM ........................................... 150
