Deactivation
The main beam headlights will go out fol-
lowed after approximately 10 seconds by
the side/taillights when the sensor is de-
activated.
The sensor cannot detect the presence of
fog: switch the lights on manually in this
case.
DIRECTION INDICATORS fig. 45
Push the stalk to (stable) position:
❒up (position 1): right-hand indicator;
❒down (position 2): left-hand indicator;
Warning light
Îor ¥will blink on the in-
strument panel.
Indicators are switched off automatically
when the steering wheel is straightened.
If you want the indicator to flash briefly to
show that you are about to change lane,
move the stalk up or down without click-
ing into position (unstable position). When
released the stalk will return to its home
position.“FOLLOW ME HOME” DEVICE
This function allows the illumination of the
space in front of the car for a preset pe-
riod of time.
Activation
With the ignition key at STOPor re-
moved, pull the left-hand stalk towards the
steering wheel within 2 minutes from
when the engine is turned off.
At each single movement of the stalk, the
lights will remain on for an extra 30 sec-
onds up to a maximum of 210 seconds;
then the lights are switched off automati-
cally. Warning light
3on the instrument pan-
el will light up and the corresponding mes-
sage will appear on the display (see
“Warning lights and messages”) as long as
the function is on. The warning light will
go out when the lever is operate and stay
on until the function is automatically de-
activated. Time for which the lights stay
on can only be increased by operating the
lever.
Deactivation
Keep the stalk pulled towards the steer-
ing wheel for more than 2 seconds.

HEADLIGHTS
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. 99
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.

WHEN NEEDING TO
CHANGE A BULB
GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
❒When a bulb is not working, check that
the corresponding fuse is intact before
replacing it: refer to the “If a fuse
blows” paragraph in this chapter for
fuse location.
❒before changing a bulb check the con-
tacts for oxidation;
❒burnt bulbs must be replaced by others
of the same type and power;
❒always check the height of the headlight
beam after changing a bulb, for reasons
of safety.
IMPORTANT A slight misting may appear
on the internal surface of the headlight:
this does not indicate a fault and is caused
by low temperature and the degree of hu-
midity in the air. Misting will rapidly dis-
appear when the headlights are switched
on. The presence of drop inside the head-
lights indicates infiltration of water. Go to
a Fiat Dealership.
TYPES OF BULBS
Various types of bulbs are fitted to your car:AAll glass bulb: clipped into place. Pull
to extract.
BBayonet bulbs: to remove this type
of bulb from its holder, press the
bulb and turn it anticlockwise.
CCylindrical bulbs: release from the
contacts to extract.
D-EHalogen bulbs: release the fastening
clip from the corresponding seat to
remove the lamp. Halogen lamps must be han-
dled holding the metallic part
only. Touching the transparent
part of the bulb with your fin-
gers may reduce the intensity of the
emitted light and even compromise du-
ration of the lamp itself. In the case of
accidental contact, rub the lamp with a
cloth and spirit and leave to dry.
Modifications or repairs to
the electrical system (elec-
tronic control units) that are not car-
ried out properly or do not take the
technical specifications of the system
into account can cause malfunctions
leading to the risk of fire.
WARNING
Halogen bulbs contain pres-
surised gas which, if broken,
may cause small fragments of glass to
be projected outwards.
