190STARTING AND DRIVING
DRIVING STYLE
Cranking
Do not warm up the engine at low or high revs when the
car is stationary: under these conditions the engine warms
up much more slowly, increasing consumption and emis-
sions. It is therefore advisable to move off immediately,
slowly, avoiding high speeds: in this way the engine will
warm up more quickly.
Unnecessary actions
Avoid revving up when at traffic lights or before stopping
the engine. The latter action, like double-declutching, is
completely unnecessary and causes increased fuel con-
sumption and pollution.
Gear selection
As soon as the conditions of the traffic and road permit,
use a higher gear. Using a low gear for faster accelera-
tion will increase consumption.
In the same way improper use of a high gear increases con-
sumption, emissions and engine wear.
Max. speed
Fuel consumption considerably increases as speed in-
creases. Maintain a constant speed, avoiding unnecessary
braking and acceleration, which cost in terms of both fu-
el consumption and emissions.Acceleration
Accelerating violently will greatly affect consumption and
emissions: acceleration should be gradual.
CONDITIONS OF USE
Cold starting
Short journeys and frequent cold starts do not allow the
engine to reach optimum operating temperature. This re-
sults in a significant increase in consumption levels (from
+15 to +30% on the urban cycle) and emissions.
Traffic and road conditions
Rather high fuel consumption is caused by heavy traffic,
for instance when travelling in a queue with frequent use
of low gears or in large towns with many traffic lights.
Mountain and rough roads also have a negative effect on
fuel consumption.
Stops in traffic
During prolonged stops (e.g. level crossings) the engine
should be switched off.

SCHEDULED SERVICING PLAN
The checks listed in the Scheduled Servicing Plan, after reaching 120,000 km/6 years, must be cyclically repeated starting from
the first interval, thus following the same intervals as before.
Thousands of miles
Thousands of km
Years
Check tyre condition/wear and adjust pressure, if necessary;
check “Fix&Go Automatic” kit recharge expiry date
(for versions/markets, where provided)
Check operation of lighting system (headlamps, direction
indicators, hazard warning lights, luggage compartment,
oddment compartment, instrument panel warning lights, etc.)
Check and, if necessary, top-up fluid levels (brakes/hydraulic
clutch, screen washer, battery, engine cooling, etc.)
Check exhaust fumes/emissions
Use the diagnosis socket to check supply/engine management
system operation; emissions and, for versions/markets,
where provided, engine oil degradation
Visually inspect condition of: exterior bodywork,
underbody protection, rigid and flexible pipes
(exhaust–fuel system–braking system),
rubber elements (boots, hoses, bushes, etc.)
Check windscreen/rear window wiper blade position/wear
Check operation of windscreen wiper/washer system and
adjust jets, if necessary
Check cleanliness of bonnet and boot locks,
cleanliness and lubrication of linkage
