EMERGENCY OPERATION
If the switch does not work, the sunroof
can be operated manually as follows:
❒remove the protective cover
between the two sun visors
❒take the provided Allen wrench
❒insert the provided wrench into the
seat A-fig. 105and turn it:
– clockwise to open the sunroof
– counter-clockwise to close the sun-
roof.In case of cross roof rack, you
are suggested to use the sun-
roof only in “spoiler” position.
Do not open the sunroof if
there is snow or ice on it: it
could be damaged.
Always remove the ignition
key when you get out of the
car to prevent the sunroof being op-
erated accidentally and constituting
a danger to the people left in the car.
The improper use of the sunroof can
be dangerous. Before and during its
operation ensure that any passengers
are not at risk from the moving roof
either by personal objects getting
caught in the mechanism or by being
injured by it directly.

If the supporting rod is not
positioned correctly the bon-
net may fall violently.
WARNING
Carry out operations when
the vehicle is stationary.
WARNING
IMPORTANT Always check that the bon-
net is closed properly to avoid its opening
while the car is travelling.ROOF RACKS
(where fitted)
IMPORTANT You are recommended to
use the roof racks fig. 125available from
Lineaccesori Fiat. Always attain to the in-
stallation instructions provided with the
kit and have the roof racks installed by
skilled personnel.
IMPORTANT Never exceed the max.
permissible loads (see section “Technical
specifications”).
After few kilometers, check that fastening
screws are firmly tightened.

Never activate the sunroof
with roof racks mounted.

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 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.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.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 increase 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.

FUEL CONSUMPTION
The fuel consumption figures given in the table below are determined on the basis of the homologation tests set down by specific
European Directives.
The procedures below are followed for measuring consumption:
❒urban cycle: cold starting followed by driving that simulates urban use of the car;
❒extra-urban cycle: frequent accelerating in all gears, simulating extraurban use of the car; the speed varies between 0 and
120 km/h;
❒combined consumption: is calculated weighing about 37% of urban cycle consumption and about 63% of extraurban
consumption.
IMPORTANT The type of route, traffic situations, weather conditions, driving style, general conditions of the car, trim level/equip-
ment/accessories, load, climate control system, roof rack, other situations that affect air drag may lead to different fuel consump-
tion levels than those measured.
