SUN ROOF
Some long cab versions may be
equipped with tilting sun roof which
can also be completely removed
according to ventilation
requirements inside the cab.
Tilting function
Turn the ring nut in fig. 78 in the
direction indicated, so that the sun
roof can be opened to the desired
position.
When the device is opened as far as
possible, the ring nut will be vertical.Removing glass from sun roof
The following steps describe the sun
roof glass removal procedure. This
operation must be carried out with
extreme caution, so that the glass
does not fall and result in damage:
– move the sun roof to the
maximum opening position;
– release the red stop fig. 79,
applying light pressure as indicated
(this operation must be carried out
using the end of the screwdriver in
the tool bag, located under the
passenger seat);– from the luggage compartment,
remove the glass from the sun roof
and detach it from its front housing,
pulling it backwards;
– insert the sun roof glass, using the
tilting ring nut located near the
luggage compartment in the space
between the rear window and the
protective mesh; then slide it
between the two guides provided, as
illustrated in fig. 80;
– lock the sun roof glass to the
protective mesh with the rubber
strap A provided;
71
045-094 STRADA LUM GB 1ed 23-01-2012 9:10 Pagina 71
Page 74 of 187
The glass of the sun
roof may be damaged if
not fixed correctly to the
protective mesh with the
dedicated strap.
WARNING
To refit the sun roof glass, carry out
the removal procedure in reverse,
making sure that it is correctly
inserted into both the front housing
and the stop fig. 79. Apply light
pressure to the back of the glass,
until it clicks into place; then rotate
the ring nut fig. 78 twice (in the
opposite direction to that for
opening).
fig. 81
F0X0062m
Before setting off,
check that the sun roof
glass is locked correctly, also by
pressing lightly on the internal
part.
WARNINGLOAD COMPARTMENT

FUEL SAVING
Here are some useful tips to save
fuel and minimise harmful emissions
of CO
2and other pollutants (nitric
oxides, unburnt hydrocarbons,
particulate matter etc.).
GENERAL CONSIDERATIONS
The general factors that affect fuel
consumption are listed below.
Vehicle maintenance
Have checks and adjustments carried
out on the vehicle in accordance
with the “Scheduled Servicing Plan”.Tyres
Check the pressure of the tyres
routinely at an interval of no more
than 4 weeks: if the pressure is too
low, consumption levels increase as
resistance to rolling is higher.
Unnecessary loads
Do not travel with excess load.
The weight of the vehicle (especially
when driving in town), and its trim
greatly affect consumption and
stability.
Roof rack/ski rack
Remove the roof rack or the ski
rack from the roof after use.
These accessories reduce the
vehicle’s aerodynamic penetration
and have a negative effect on
consumption. When transporting
particularly large objects, use a
trailer if possible.Electrical devices
Use electrical devices only for the
amount of time necessary. The
additional headlights, windscreen
wipers and heater fan consume a
considerable amount of energy,
thereby increasing fuel consumption
(by up to 25% in the urban cycle).
Climate control
Climate control leads to higher fuel
consumption (on average by up to
20%): if the temperature outside
permits, try and use the ventilation
only.
Devices for aerodynamic
control
The use of non-certified devices for
aerodynamic control may adversely
affect air drag and consumption
levels.
DRIVING STYLE
The main driving styles that affect
fuel consumption are listed below.
