HEADLIGHTSLIGHT BEAM DIRECTION
The correct direction of the headlights is
essential for the comfort and safety of the
driver and other road users. The head-
lights must be correctly directed to ensure
the best visibility. Contact a Fiat Dealer-
ship to have the direction checked and, if
necessary, adjusted.
HEADLIGHT ALIGNMENT
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 aimed again in this case.Headlight alignment adjustment
fig. 94
To adjust, press buttons Òand Óon 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 people on front
seats.
Position 1– five people.
Position 2– five people + load in the boot.
Position 3– driver + maximum admitted
load in the boot.
IMPORTANT Check the beam alignment
every time the load transported changes.
FRONT FOG LIGHTS
ALIGNMENT

HEADLIGHT BEAM
ADJUSTMENT ABROAD
fig. 95-96
The dipped headlights are adjusted to
work in the country where the vehicle
was originally purchased. In countries
where vehicles are driven on the other
side of the road, the beams are aligned by
applying a specially designed adhesive film
in order not to dazzle the vehicles trav-
elling in the opposite direction.
Such film is provided by Lineaccessori
Fiat and is available at Fiat Dealerships.
The illustrations refer to the changeover
from driving on the left to driving on the
right.

Depress the clutch pedal ful-
ly to change gear correctly.
There should be no obstacles on the
floor underneath the pedals; make
sure that mats are always flat and do
not interfere with the pedals.
WARNING
Do not drive with your hand
resting on the gear lever as
the force exerted, even if
slight, could lead over time to
premature wear of the gearbox inter-
nal components.
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.
SAVING FUELHere 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.
