LONGITUDINAL BARS
(for versions/markets where provided)
On some versions, the vehicle has two longitudinal bars
which, with the addition of special accessories, can be used

Always strictly obey local laws regarding
maximum roof load measurements.
WARNING
Spread the load evenly and take account of
the extra sensitivity to cross winds when dri-
ving.

INSTALLING ELECTRICAL/
ELECTRONIC DEVICES
Electrical and electronic devices installed after buying the
vehicle by aftersales must carry the following label:
FGA S.p.A. authorises the installation of transceiving de-
vices provided that they are installed by a specialised cen-
tre according to rules of good engineering practice and
in compliance with the manufacturer’s instructions.
WARNING Traffic authorities may not allow the vehicle
on the road if devices are fitted that modify vehicle spec-
ifications. This may also invalidate the warranty in rela-
tion to faults caused by the change or either directly or in-
directly related to it.
FGA S.p.A. shall not be liable for damage caused by the in-
stallation of accessories either not supplied or recom-
mended by FGA S.p.A. and/or not installed in compliance
with the provided instructions.
RADIO TRANSMITTERS
AND MOBILE PHONES
Radiotransmitting apparatus (e.g. car mobile phones, CB
radios etc.) should not be used inside the vehicle unless
a separate aerial is mounted on the roof.
❒two rear speakers (located next to the parcel shelf)
(for versions/markets where provided);
❒radio compartment;
❒aerial lead;
❒aerial.
RADIO INSTALLATION
The sound system must be installed in the space occu-
pied by the centre glove compartment where you will find
the wiring. Press tabs A-fig. 108 to remove the compart-
ment.
To connect to the existing wiring in the ve-
hicle, contact the Fiat Service Network to
prevent any problems that could impair vehicle
safety.

2. Avoid pointless actions such as revving up when at
traffic lights or before stopping the engine. The latter
action, like double-declutching, is unnecessary and
causes increased fuel consumption and pollution.
3. Gear selection: select a high gear as soon as possi-
ble (taking into account normal engine operation and
traffic conditions) without pushing the engine to high
revs during the intermediate gears. Using low gears
at high revs to get lively acceleration increases fuel
consumption, harmful emissions and engine wear.
4. Vehicle speed: fuel consumption increases expo-
nentially as the speed of the vehicle increases. Keep
your speed moderate and as even as possible, avoid-
ing unnecessary braking and acceleration, which
cause excessive fuel consumption and increased
emissions. Keeping a safe distance from the vehicle in
front helps to maintain a steady speed.
5. Acceleration: accelerating violently severely affects
consumption and emissions. Acceleration should be
gradual and should not exceed the maximum engine
torque rate.
5. Remove
roof racks or ski racks after use. These
accessories reduce the vehicle’s aerodynamic pene-
tration and have a negative effect on fuel consump-
tion.
6. It is better to use a trailer to transport particularly bulky objects.
7. Use the vehicle’s air vents if possible: travelling with the windows open impairs the aerodynamics.
8. Only use electrical devices for the amount of time needed. The heated rear window, auxiliary head-
lights, windscreen wipers and fan heater use up
a considerable amount of current, causing increased
fuel consumption (up to +25% in the urban cycle).
9. Using the climate control leads to higher fuel con- sumption (on average up to +30%). If the tempera-
ture outside is not too extreme, try and use the air
vents.
Driving style
1. After starting the engine you should drive away
immediately and slowly, avoiding high revs. Do not
warm up the engine at low or high revs when the
vehicle is stationary; this causes the engine to warm
up more slowly, thereby increasing fuel consumption,
emissions and mechanical component wear.

To wash the vehicle properly, proceed as follows:
❒wash the body using a low-pressure jet of water;
❒use a sponge to wipe a slightly soapy solution over the
bodywork, frequently rinsing the sponge;
❒rinse with plenty of water and dry with a jet of air or
a chamois leather.
Observe the following recommendations for washing the
vehicle in an automatic carwash:
– remove the aerial from the roof so it does not get dam-
aged;
– the car wash should use water added to a soapy solu-
tion;
– rinse thoroughly to avoid soap marks staying on the
bodywork or less visible parts.
Some car washes with old-style blades
and/or in a poor state of repair can dam-
age the paintwork, facilitating the forma-
tion of lines that give the paint a dull/misty ap-
pearance, especially on dark colours. If this hap-
pens, lightly polish the paintwork with appropriate
products.
Dry the less visible parts particularly carefully, such as the
door frames, bonnet and the headlight frames, where wa-
ter may stagnate more easily. It is a good idea to leave
the vehicle outdoors for a while after washing it to give
water time to evaporate.
Do not wash the vehicle after it has been left in the sun or
with the bonnet hot: this may alter the shine of the paint-
work.
Exterior plastic parts should be cleaned in the same way
as the rest of the vehicle. Where possible, do not park the
vehicle under trees; the resinous substances released by
many species give the paint a dull appearance and increase
the possibility of rust.
IMPORTANT Bird droppings should be washed off im-
mediately and thoroughly as the acid they contain is par-
ticularly aggressive.
Detergents cause water pollution. The ve-
hicle should be washed in areas equipped
for collecting and purifying the liquid used
in the washing process.
