SLANT COMPENSATION fig. 85
The car is fitted with an electrical device
for correcting the headlight slant. The de-
vice can be operated with the ignition key
at MARand the dipped beam headlights
are on.
When the car is loaded, it slopes back-
wards. This means the headlight beam ris-
es.
In this case, it is necessary to return it to
the correct position using buttons +and
–.
The display shows the positions during the
adjustment.ADJUSTING THE FRONT
FOGLIGHTS (where provided)

Have the headlight positioning checked at
a Fiat Dealership and adjusted if necessary.

This is done using non-transparent stick-
er tape as shown in the figure. The figure
refers to passing from left-hand drive to
right-hand drive.
ABS SYSTEM
(where provided)
The car is fitted with an ABS braking sys-
tem, which prevents the wheels from lock-
ing when braking, makes the most of road
grip and gives the best control when emer-
gency braking under difficulty road condi-
tions.
System is completed by EBD (Electronic
Braking Force Distribution), which dis-
tributes the braking action between front
and rear wheels.
IMPORTANT To have the maximum ef-
ficiency of the braking system, it is neces-
sary a setting period of about 500 km: dur-
ing this period, it is better to avoid sharp,
repeated and prolonged brakes. HEADLIGHT BEAM
ADJUSTMENT ABROAD fig. 87
Headlights are orientated as to drive in-
side the country of origin before selling
the car. When travelling in countries with
opposite driving direction, you need to
cover the headlight areas according to the
Road Code of the country you are trav-
elling in.

Accessories installed on
longitudinal bars
Remove accessories like: roof racks, ski
racks, luggage container, etc. from the roof
as soon as they are no longer used. These
accessories lower air penetration and ad-
versely affect consumption levels. When
needing to carry particularly voluminous
objects, preferably use a trailer.
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 air conditioner is an additional load
which greatly affects the engine leading to
higher consumption (on average up to
+20%). When the temperature outside
the car permits it, use the air vents where
possible.
Spoilers
The use of non-certified aerodynamic
items may adversely affect air drag and
consumption levels.DRIVING STYLE
Starting
Do not warm the engine with the car at
a standstill or at idle or high speed: under
these conditions the engine warms up
much more slowly, increasing electrical
consumption and emissions. It is therefore
advisable to move off immediately, slow-
ly, avoiding high speeds: this way the en-
gine will warm faster.
Unnecessary actions
Avoid accelerating when waiting at traffic
lights or before switching off the engine.
This and also double declutching is ab-
solutely pointless on modern cars and al-
so increases consumption and pollution.
Gear selection
As soon as the conditions of the traffic and
road allow, use a higher gear. Using a low
gear to obtain brilliant performance in-
creases consumption.
In the same way improper use of a high
gear increases consumption, emissions an
engine wear.CONTAINING
RUNNING COSTS
Some useful tips are given below for fuel
saving and reducing harmful emissions of
CO
2and other pollutants (nitrogen ox-
ides, unburnt hydrocarbons, Particulate
Matter (PM) etc.).
GENERAL CONSIDERATIONS
Car maintenance
Have checks and adjustments carried out
in accordance with the “Service schedule”.
Tyres
Check the pressure of the tyres routine-
ly at an interval of no more than 4 weeks:
if the pressure is too low, consumption
levels increase as resistance to rolling is
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.

WHEN NEEDING
TO CHANGE A BULB
GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
❒Before changing a bulb check the con-
tacts for oxidation;
❒ Burnt bulbs must be replaced by oth-
ers of the same type and power;
❒Always check headlight aiming after
changing a bulb to ensure they are safe;
❒When a light is not working, check that
the corresponding fuse is intact before
changing a bulb: for the location of fus-
es, refer to paragraph “If a fuse blows”
in this section.
Alterations or repairs to the
electric system not carried
out correctly and without taking into
account the system specifications
may cause failures and the risk of fire.
WARNING
Halogen bulbs contain pres-
surised gas, in the case of
breakage they may burst.
WARNING
Halogen bulbs must be han-
dled touching only the metal-
lic part. If the transparent
bulb is touched with the fin-
gers, its lighting intensity is reduced and
life of the bulb may be compromised.
If touched accidentally, rub the bulb
with a cloth moistened with methylat-
ed spirit and allow to dry.

TYPES OF BULBS fig. 20
Various types of bulbs are fitted to your
car:
A All glass bulbs: these are pressed on.
Pull to remove.
B Bayonet type bulbs: press the bulb,
then counterclockwise to remove this
type of bulb from its holder.
C Tubular bulbs: free them from their
contacts to remove.
D Halogen bulbs: to remove the bulb,
release the clip holding the bulb in
place.
E Halogen bulbs: to remove the bulb,
release the clip holding the bulb in
place.
F0G0118mfig. 20
Where possible, it is advisable
to have bulbs changed c/o Fi-
at Dealership. The correct
operation and aiming of the
outer lights are vital to the safety of the
car and its passengers and the subject
of specific laws.
IMPORTANT The headlight inner surface
might be slightly misted: this should not be
considered irregular but a natural phe-
nomenon due to low temperature and the
air humidity level. Misting will disappear as
soon as the headlights are turned on.
Drops inside the headlight mean water in-
filtration: contact Fiat Dealership.
