HEADLIGHTS
BEAM DIRECTION
Correct direction of the headlights is es-
sential for the comfort and safety of the
driver and the other road users. The head-
lights must be correctly directed to ensure
the best visibility conditions when the
headlights are on. Contact a Fiat Dealer-
ship to have the headlights properly ad-
justed.
HEADLIGHT CORRECTOR
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.
Adjusting headlight alignment
fig. 122
To adjust, press buttons
and Òon the
control panel.
The display shows the positions during the
adjustment operation.
Position 0- one or two passengers on
front seats.
fig. 122F0H0756m
Position 1- five occupants
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.
ADJUSTING THE HEADLIGHTS
WHEN ABROAD
The dipped headlamps are adjusted for
service in the country where the vehicle
was originally purchased. When travelling
in countries on the other side of the road,
cover the headlight as shown in the figure.
Use non-transparent adhesive for this pur-
pose.The figures fig. 123-124 show how to
change from left-hand drive to right-hand
drive.

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
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 fuel consumption
because rolling resistance will be higher.
Unnecessary loads
Do not travel with an overloaded boot.
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 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.
Electrical devices
Use electrical 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 fu-
el 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 fuel 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 fuel
consumption.
In the same way improper use of a high
gear increases consumption, emissions an
engine wear.
