2007 FIAT SEICENTO roof rack

52GETTING TO KNOW YOUR CAR
Take care that scarves,
ties or loose clothing do
not accidentally come
near moving parts; they could
become entangled with serious
danger for the wearer. To close the bonnet:
1)keep the bonnet lid raised with
one hand and remove the rod B-
fig. 76from the recess with the other
Cthen secure it in its clip A.
2) lower the bonnet until approx. 20
cm from the engine compartment and
then let it drop, ensuring it is fully
closed and not just held in position by
the safety catch.
If the bonnet does not close properly
do not push it down but open it again
and repeat the above procedure.ROOF RACK/
SKI RACK
ANCHORING
ARRANGEMENT fig. 77
The anchoring seats for roof racks
are shown in the illustration.
The rear clips are to be secured in
the area immediately above the side
window rubbers.
Specific roof/ski racks are available in
the Fiat Lineaccessori range.
For safety reasons the
bonnet shall always be
perfectly closed when
travelling. Always check for
proper bonnet locking. If the bon-
net is left inadvertently open, stop
the car immediately and close the
bonnet.

53GETTING TO KNOW YOUR CAR
After travelling a few
kilometres, check that
the screws securing the
attachments are tight.
Never exceed the per-
mitted weight (see
TECH-
NICAL SPECIFICATIONS). SLANT COMPENSATION
When the car is loaded, it slopes
backwards. This means that the head-
light beam rises. In this case, it is nec-
essary to return it to the correct po-
sition.
The headlight beam adjuster is lo-
cated inside the car on the right side
of the steering column fig. 78.
Position 0- one or two occupants in
the front seats.
Position 1- five occupants.
Position 2- five occupants + load in
boot.
Position 3- driver + maximum per-
missible load stowed in boot.
Be careful not to knock
objects on the roof rack
when opening the tail-
gate.
HEADLIGHTS
ADJUSTING THE
HEADLIGHT BEAM
The correct positioning of the head-
light beams is very important for the
comfort and safety, not only of the
person driving the car but also all
other road users.
This is also covered by a specific law.
To ensure you and other drivers
have the best visibility conditions
when travelling with the headlights on,
the headlights must be set properly.
Have the headlight positioning
checked at a Fiat Dealershipand
adjusted if necessary.
fig. 78
P4Q01016Check the positioning of
the headlight beams
every time you change
the load to be carried.

78DRIVING YOUR CAR
Tyres
Tyre pressure should be checked at
least once every four weeks: if the
pressure is too low fuel consumption
increases as the resistance to the
rolling movement of the tyre is
greater. In this state, tyre wear is in-
creased and vehicle handling suffers
which will effect safety.
Unnecessary loads
Do not travel with too much luggage
stowed in the boot. The weight of the
vehicle and its trim greatly effects con-
sumption and stability.
Roof rack/ski rack
Remove roof racks and ski racks
from the roof of the car as soon as
they are no longer needed. These ac-
cessories reduce the aerodynamic
penetration of the vehicle and will in-
crease consumption. When having to
transport particularly large loads it is
better to use a trailer.Electric devices
Use electric devices for the neces-
sary time only. The heated rear win-
dow, fog lights, windscreen wipers,
heating system blower require large
amounts of electricity, and as a con-
sequence, the fuel consumption in-
creases (up to +25% in town).
Climate control system
The climate control system is a fur-
ther drag on the engine causing higher
fuel consumption (on average, up to
20%). When outside temperatures
permit, use the vents.
Aerodynamic accessories
The use of aerodynamic accessories
not certified for that specific purpose
can diminish the car’s aerodynamic
penetration and increase consump-
tion.BEHIND THE WHEEL
Starting-up
Do not warm up the engine when
the car is stationary, neither by idling
nor revving up. If you do, the engine
will warm up much more slowly and
increase fuel consumption and emis-
sions. It is therefore better to start
slowly and to keep the engine speed
down.
Unnecessary manoeuvres
Do not give quick bursts on the ac-
celerator when waiting at the traffic
lights or before turning off the engine.
This type of action, like the “double
clutch” are absolutely useless on mod-
ern cars. They only increase fuel con-
sumption and pollution.
Gear selection
As soon as traffic conditions allow,
shift up to a higher gear. Using a low
gear to have a sharp acceleration in-
creases the consumption. Likewise,
using a high gear when this is not
called for increases consumption,
emissions and wear on the engine.

CO2EMISSIONS
The fuel consumption values shown
in the table below were defined ac-
cording to the type-approval specifi-
cations in European Directives.
Consumption values are defined by
means of the following procedures:
– an urban cycle: consisting of a
cold start and a simulated drive in city
streets;
– an extra-urban cycle: consisting
in frequent accelerations, in all gears,
simulating normal conditions of use.
Speed ranges from 0 to 120 km/h;
– average combined cyclecon-
sisting of 37% urban cycle and 63% ex-
tra-urban cycle.
FUEL CONSUMPTION
IMPORTANT Road and traffic
conditions, weather, general con-
ditions of the car, driving style,
fittings and accessories, use of
the climate control system, load,
roof racks and other situations
penalising aerodynamic penetra-
tion and effecting rolling resis-
tance will influence fuel con-
sumption rates which can be dif-
ferent from the values shown in
the table (see

shown in the following table refer to
the average combined cycle.
