What it means What to do
MAIN BEAM AUTOMATISM FAULT
(Versions with reconfigurable multifunction
display)
The symbol switches on when a fault is detected
in the automatic switching-on system for the main
beam headlights.POSSIBLE ICE ON ROAD
When the outside temperature reaches or falls
below 3°C the outside temperature indication
flashes to warn the driver about the possible
presence of ice on the road.
The display will show the dedicated message
(only for versions with a multifunction display).SPEED LIMIT EXCEEDED
The symbol switches on together with a
dedicated message when the vehicle exceeds the
set speed limit (see “Multifunction Display” in
section “Knowing your vehicle”).SCHEDULED SERVICING
(for versions/markets, where provided)
The symbol switches on together with a
dedicated message next to the scheduled
servicing warning and stays on until the service
deadline is reached. It switches off after the
service has been carried out at a Fiat Dealership
or once 1000 km have been covered from the
service deadline.

SAVING FUELSome useful tips are given below for
fuel saving and reducing harmful
emissions of CO2 and other pollutants
(nitrogen oxides, unburnt
hydrocarbons, Particulate Matter (PM),
etc.).
GENERAL
CONSIDERATIONS
The general factors that affect fuel
consumption are listed below.
Vehicle maintenance
Have checks and adjustments carried
out in accordance with the “Scheduled
Servicing Plan”.Tyres
Check the tyre pressures at least once
every four weeks: if the pressure is
too low, consumption levels increase as
resistance to rolling is higher.
Unnecessary loads
Do not travel with an overloaded
luggage compartment. The weight of
the vehicle (especially when driving
in town) and its geometry greatly affect
fuel consumption and stability.
Roof rack/ski rack
Remove the roof rack or the ski rack
from the roof after use. These
accessories decrease aerodynamic
penetration of the vehicle and have a
negative effect on fuel consumption.
When transporting particularly large
objects, use a trailer if possible.Electric devices
Use electrical devices only for the
amount of time needed. The heated
rear window, additional headlights,
windscreen/rear window wipers and
heater fan need a considerable amount
of energy, therefore increasing fuel
consumption (by up to 25% in
the urban cycle).
Climate control system
Air conditioning leads to higher fuel
consumption (on average up to +20%).
If the temperature outside permits, try
and use the ventilation only.
Devices for
aerodynamic control
The use of non-certified spoilers may
adversely affect air drag and fuel
consumption.

STARTING AND DRIVING

CHANGING A BULBGENERAL
INSTRUCTIONS
44)158) 159)
❒When a light is not working, check
that the corresponding fuse is intact
before changing a bulb. For the
location of fuses, refer to the
paragraph "Replacing fuses" in this
chapter.
❒before changing a bulb check the
contacts for oxidation;
❒burnt bulbs must be replaced by
others of the same type and power;
❒always check the headlight beam
direction after changing a bulb;
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 humidity in the air.
Misting will rapidly disappear when the
headlights are switched on. The
presence of drops inside the headlights
indicates infiltration of water. Contact
a Fiat Dealership.
IMPORTANT
44) Halogen bulbs must be handled
by holding the metallic part only.
Touching the transparent part
of the bulb with your fingers may
reduce the intensity of the
emitted light and even reduce the
lifespan of the bulb. In the event
of accidental contact, wipe the
bulb with a cloth moistened with
alcohol and let the bulb dry.
WARNING
158) Modifications or repairs to the
electric system that are not
carried out properly or do not take
the system technical
specifications into account can
cause malfunctions leading to the
risk of fire.
159) Halogen bulbs contain
pressurised gas; in the case of
breakage they may burst.
