Adjusting the button volume
(Button Vol.)
This function may be used to adjust (over
8 levels) the volume of the noise made
when the MENU ESC, +and –buttons
are pressed.
To set the desired volume, proceed as fol-
lows:
– briefly press MENU ESC– the previ-
ously set volume level will flash on the dis-
play;
– press +or –to set the value;
– briefly press MENU ESCto return to
the menu screen or hold the button down
to return to the standard screen without
saving.Scheduled Servicing (Service)
Through this function it is possible to dis-
play information related to regular sched-
uling intervals.
This information can be consulted as
follows:
– briefly press MENU ESC– service in-
tervals in km or mi, depending on the
previous setting, will be displayed (see
“Measurement units” section);
– briefly press MENU ESCto go back to
the menu screen or hold the button down
to go back to the standard screen.NBThe “Scheduled Service Plan” re-
quires the vehicle to be serviced every
30,000 km (or 18,000 mi). This indication
will appear automatically, with the key at
MAR, starting from 2,000 km (or
1,240 mi) and will be displayed every
200 km (or 124 mi). Below 200 km the sig-
nals become more frequent. The indica-
tion will appear in kilometres or miles de-
pending on the unit of measurement
settings. When the next scheduled service
is approaching, and when the key is turned
to MAR, the message “Service” will ap-
pear on the display followed by the num-
ber of kilometres or miles left. Go to a Fi-
at Dealership, where the “Scheduled
Service Plan” operations will be performed
and the message will be reset.

STARTING
AND DRIVING
Roof rack/ski rack
Remove the roof rack or ski rack from the
roof after use. These accessories decrease
aerodynamic penetration and have a neg-
ative effect on fuel consumption. It is bet-
ter to use a trailer to transport particu-
larly bulky objects.
Electrical devices
Use electrical devices only for the amount
of time needed. The heated rear window,
auxiliary headlights, windscreen wipers and
fan heater use up a considerable amount
of current, causing increased fuel con-
sumption (up to +25% in the urban cycle).
Air conditioning
Air conditioning leads to higher fuel con-
sumption (on average up to +20%). If the
temperature outside is not too extreme,
try and use the air vents.
Spoilers
The use of non-certified spoilers may ad-
versely affect aerodynamics and fuel con-
sumption.DRIVING STYLE
Starting
Do not warm up the engine at low or high
revs when the vehicle is stationary; this
causes the engine to warm up more slow-
ly, thereby increasing fuel consumption
and emissions. It is advisable to set off im-
mediately and slowly, avoiding high revs:
this allows the engine to warm up more
quickly.
Unnecessary actions
Avoid revving up when stationary at traf-
fic lights or before stopping the engine.
The latter action, like double declutching,
is entirely unnecessary and causes in-
creased fuel consumption 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 fuel
consumption.
In the same way, improper use of a high
gear increases fuel consumption, emissions
and engine wear.SAVING FUEL
Here are some suggestions which may
help you to save fuel and reduce the
amount of toxic emissions released into
the atmosphere.
GENERAL CONSIDERATIONS
Car maintenance
Have checks and adjustments carried out
in accordance with the “Scheduled Service
Plan”.
Tyres
Check the tyre pressure at least once
every 4 weeks: if the pressure is too low,
consumption levels increase as resistance
to rolling is higher.
Unnecessary loads
Do not travel with an overloaded boot.
The weight of the car (especially when dri-
ving in town) and its arrangement greatly
affect fuel consumption and stability.

IMPORTANT Scheduled Services are pre-
scribed by the manufacturer. Failure to
stick to the schedule may invalidate the
warranty.
Scheduled Servicing is performed by all Fi-
at Dealerships at pre-arranged times.
If, during each part of the service, the need
arises for additional replacements or re-
pairs, these may be carried out only with
the explicit agreement of the Customer.IMPORTANT You are advised to contact
a Fiat Dealership in the event of any mi-
nor operating faults, without waiting for
the next service.
If your car is used frequently for towing,
the interval between services should be
reduced.SCHEDULED SERVICING
Correct maintenance is essential for
ensuring long car life under the best con-
ditions.
This is why Fiat has planned a series of
checks and services every 30,000 km.
It is, however, important to remember
that scheduled servicing does not com-
pletely cover all the car’s requirements:
even in the initial period before 30,000 km,
and then subsequently between one ser-
vice and another, ordinary care is always
required such as routine checks involv-
ing topping up fluid level, checking tyre
pressures etc...

❒check air filter and replace, if required.
REGULAR CHECKS
Every 1,000 km or before long journeys,
check and, if necessary, top up:
❒engine coolant fluid level;
❒brake fluid level;
❒windscreen washer level;
❒tyre pressure and conditions.
❒operation of lights (headlights, direction
indicators, hazard lights, etc.);
❒operation of the windscreen
wiper/washer system, position and

IMPORTANT Brake fluid absorbs mois-
ture. For this reason, if the car is mainly
used in areas with a high degree of at-
mospheric humidity, the fluid should be
replaced at more frequent intervals than
specified in the “Scheduled Servicing Plan”.
fig. 7
Do not travel if the wind-
screen washer reservoir is
empty: using the windscreen washer
is essential for improving visibility.
WARNING
Some commercial additives
for windscreen washing are
flammable. The engine compartment
contains hot parts which could cause
a fire if they come into contact with
these additives.
WARNING
Prevent brake fluid, which is
highly corrosive, from coming
into contact with painted
parts. Wash with water im-
mediately if this should happen.
WINDSCREEN/REAR WINDOW
WASHER FLUID fig. 6
To top up, remove the cap A.
Pour in a mixture of water and TUTELA
PROFESSIONAL SC35, in the follow-
ing concentrations:
30% TUTELA PROFESSIONAL
SC35and 70% water in summer.
50% TUTELA PROFESSIONAL
SC35and 50% water in winter.
If temperatures are below −20°C, use
undiluted TUTELA PROFESSIONAL
SC35fluid.
Check the level through the reservoir.
fig. 6F0M0154m
BRAKE FLUID fig. 7
Undo the cap Aand check that the liquid
contained in the reservoir is at the maxi-
mum level.
The fluid level in the reservoir must not
exceed the MAXmark.
If you need to top up, you should use the
brake fluid shown in the “Fluids and lubri-
cants” table (see “Technical Specifications”).
NB Carefully clean the reservoir cap Aand
the surrounding surfaces.
When opening the cap, make sure that no
dirt gets into the reservoir.
Always use a funnel with a built-in filter with
a mesh of 0.12 mm or less for topping up.
F0M0155m
Brake fluid is poisonous and
highly corrosive. In the event
of accidental contact, wash the parts
immediately with water and mild
soap, then rinse with plenty of
water. Call a doctor immediately if
swallowed.
