BEAM DIRECTION
Correction direction of the headlights is
essentially for the comfort and safety of
the driver and the other road users. The
headlights must be correctly directed to
ensure the best visibility conditions when
the headlights are on. Contact Fiat Deal-
ership to have the headlights properly ad-
justed.
HEADLIGHT AIMING DEVICE
This device works with the key at MAR
and the dipped beam headlights on. The
car will slant backwards when it is loaded,
raising the light beam. The beams must
therefore be directed again in this case.Aiming the headlights fig. 96
Press Òand on the control panel.
The display located on the instrument pan-
el, provides the visual indication of the po-
sitions during the adjustment operation.
Position 0- one or two passengers on
front seats.
Position 1- five passengers.
Position 2- five passengers + load in the
boot.
Position 3- driver + maximum admitted
load in the boot.
IMPORTANT Check beam aiming every
time the load carried changes.

CORRECT USE
OF THE CAR
Roof rack/ski rack
Remove the roof rack or the ski rack from
the roof after use. These accessories de-
crease aerodynamic penetration of the car
and have a negative effect on consumption.
It is better to use a trailer to transport
particularly bulky objects.
Electric devices
Use electric devices only for the amount
of time needed. Rear heated window, ad-
ditional headlights, windscreen wipers and
heater fan need a considerable amount of
energy, therefore increasing the require-
ment of current increases fuel consump-
tion (up to +25% in the urban cycle).
Climate control
The climate control system requires high-
er fuel consumption (up to +20% in av-
erage): use the air vents when the exter-
nal temperature allows to.
Spoilers
The use of non-certified aerodynamic
items may adversely affect air drag and
consumption levels.DRIVING STYLE
Starting
Do not warm the engine up with the car
standing: the engine warms up very slow-
ly in these conditions, increasing con-
sumption and emissions. It is advisable to
start off immediately and slowly keeping
the engine speed down: the engine will
warm up much faster this way.
Unnecessary actions
Avoid revving up when starting at traffic
lights or before stopping the engine. The
latter action, like doubling the clutch, is un-
necessary and causes increase of con-
sumption and pollution.
Gear selection
Use a higher gear as soon as traffic and
road conditions allow. Using a low gear
for faster acceleration will increase con-
sumption.
In the same way improper use of a high
gear increases consumption, emissions an
engine wear.CONTAINING
RUNNING COSTS
Here are some suggestions which may
help you to keep the running costs of your
car down and lower the amount of toxic
emissions released into the atmosphere.
GENERAL CONSIDERATIONS
Car maintenance
Have checks and adjustments carried out
in accordance with the “Service schedule”.
Tyres
Check tyre pressure regularly at least
once every four weeks: excessively low
pressure will increase consumption be-
cause rolling resistance will be higher.
Unnecessary loads
Do not travel with too much luggage
stowed in the boot. The weight of the car
(especially when driving in town) and its
trim greatly affects consumption and sta-
bility.
