CONTAINING
RUNNING COSTS
Here are some suggestions which may
help you to keep the running costs of your
vehicle down and lower the amount of
toxic emissions released into the atmos-
phere.
GENERAL CONSIDERATIONS
Vehicle maintenance
Carry out the checks and adjustments/reg-
ulations specified in the “Service Sched-
ule”.
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 ve-
hicle (especially when driving in town) and
its trim greatly affects consumption and
stability.Roof rack/ski rack
Remove the roof rack or the ski rack from
the roof as soon as they are no longer
used. These accessories lower air pene-
tration and adversely affect consumption
levels. When needing to carry particular-
ly 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 vehicle permits it, use the air vents
where possible.
Spoilers
The use of non-certified aerodynamic
items may adversely affect air drag and
consumption levels.
Observe the enforced rules if
you need to carry a spare
can of petrol. Only use a homologat-
ed can and secure it to the load an-
choring eyebolts. Even given these
precautions, the risk of fire in the
event of an accident is increased.
WARNING
In addition to these general precautions,
some simple measures could enhance dri-
ving safety, comfort and the length of the
vehicle’s life:
❒distribute the load evenly over the
load floor: if you need to concentrate
it all in one point choose the part be-
tween the axles;
❒remember that the lower the load is,
the lower the vehicle’s centre of grav-
ity will be, contributing to a safe drive;
you should therefore always position
the heavier goods at the bottom;
❒finally, remember that the way in
which the vehicle moves is influenced
by the weight being carried. In partic-
ular, stopping distance lengthens par-
ticularly at high speed.

DIESEL PARTICULATE
FILTER CLOGGED
The warning light turns on when
the diesel particulate filter is clogged and
the driving conditions do not enable to ac-
tivate automatically the reclaiming proce-
dure.
To enable the cleaning procedure, keep
the vehicle running until the warning light
turns off.
The display will show the dedicated mes-
sage.ESP - ASR SYSTEM

after few seconds.
ESP-ASR system failure
If the warning light does not go off or stays
on when travelling together with the but-
ton led ASR, contact Fiat Dealership.
On certain versions the dedicated mes-
sage is displayed.
NoteWarning light flashing when driving
indicates that the ESP system is active.
Hill Holder failure
The warning light will turn on when the
Hill Holder system is faulty. Contact Fiat
Dealership as soon as possible.
On certain versions the dedicated mes-
sage is displayed.

CORRECT USE

IN AN

IMPORTANT Never connect the negative
terminals of the two batteries directly:
sparks could ignite explosive gas released
from the battery. If the auxiliary battery is
installed on another vehicle, avoid any
metal parts on the latter and the vehicle
with the flat battery from accidentally
coming into contact.
BUMP STARTING
Never jump start the engine by pushing,
towing or driving downhill. This could
cause a flow of fuel into the catalytic con-
verter and damage it beyond repair.
IMPORTANT Remember that the brake
servo and the power steering system are
not activated until the engine is started, a
greater effort will therefore be required
to press the brake pedal or turn the steer-
ing wheel.CHANGING
A WHEEL
GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
To chage a wheel and the use the jack and
spare wheel correctly, observe some of
the precautions listed below.
Signal that the vehicle is sta-
tionary in accordance with
the following legal requirements:
hazard warning lights, emergency
warning triangle, etc. It is advisable
for the people in the vehicle to get
out, especially if the vehicle is heavi-
ly laden, and wait until the repair is
carried out, well away from any dan-
gerous traffic. Apply the handbrake
WARNING
The spare wheel is specific
for your vehicle. Therefore,
it must not be used on vehicles of a
different model. Do not use spare
wheels of different models on your ve-
hicle. The wheel bolts are specific for
your vehicle. Do not use them on ve-
hicles of different models. Do not use
bolts of different models on your ve-
hicle.
WARNING
Repair and refit the wheel
changed as soon as possible.
Do not apply grease to the bolt
threads before assembly: the bolts
could come loose unexpectedly.

WHEN NEEDING TO
CHANGE A BULB
GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
❒When a light is not working, check
that the corresponding fuse is intact
before changing a bulb. For the loca-
tion of fuses, refer to the paragraph “If
a fuse blows” in this section;
❒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 the height of the head-
light beam after changing a bulb.
IMPORTANT The headlight inner surface
may be lightly misted over: this is not a
fault but a natural fact due to low tem-
perature and the level of air humidity. It
will disappear as soon the headlights are
turned on. The presence of drops inside
the headlights means water infiltration,
therefore contact Fiat Dealership.
TYPES OF BULBS
Various types of bulbs are fitted to your
vehicle:
AGlass bulbs: clipped into position. Pull
to remove.BBayonet type bulbs: to remove this
type of bulb from its holder, press the
bulb and turn it counter-clockwise.
CTubular bulbs: release them from
their contacts to remove.
D-EHalogen bulbs: to remove the bulb,
release the clip holding the bulb in
place. Halogen bulbs must be han-
dled touching only the metal-
lic part. If the transparent bulb
is touched with the fingers, its
lighting intensity is reduced and life of
the bulb may be compromised. If
touched accidentally, rub the bulb with
a cloth moistened with alcohol and al-
low to dry.
Modifications or repairs to
the electrical system (elec-
tronic control units) carried out in-
correctly and without bearing the fea-
tures of the system in mind can cause
malfunctions with the risk of fire.
WARNING
Halogen bulbs contain pres-
surised gas which, if broken,
may cause small fragments of glass to
be projected outwards.

ENGINE OIL CONSUMPTION
Max engine oil consumption is usually 400
grams every 1,000 km.
When the vehicle is new, the engine needs
to run in, therefore the engine oil con-
sumption can only be considered stabilised
after the first 5,000 - 6,000 km.
IMPORTANT The oil consumption de-
pends on driving style and the conditions
under which the vehicle is used. ENGINE OIL fig. 4-5-6
Check the oil level a few minutes (about
5) after the engine has stopped, with the
vehicle parked on level ground.
The oil level shall be included between the
MINand MAXmarks on the dipstick B.
The gap between the MINand MAX
marks corresponds to about one litre of
oil.
If the oil level is near or even below the
MINmark, add oil through the filler neck
A, until reaching the MAXmark.
Oil level shall never exceed the MAX
mark.

When the engine is hot, take
care when working inside the
engine compartment to avoid burns.
Remember that when the engine is
hot, fan may cut in: danger of injury.
Scarves, ties and other loose cloth-
ing might be pulled by moving parts.
WARNING
Do not add oil with specifica-
tions other than that already
in the engine.
Used engine oil and filter con-
tain harmful substances for
the environment. Contact Fi-
at Dealership to have the oil
and filter changed, as they are
equipped to dispose of the waste oil
and filters respecting the nature and
the law.
IMPORTANT After adding or changing
the oil, let the engine turn over for a few
seconds and wait a few minutes after turn-
ing it off before you check the level.
