HEADLIGHTSLIGHT BEAM DIRECTION
The correct aiming of the headlights is important for
the comfort and safety of not only the driver but
all other road users. This is also covered by a specific
rule of the highway code.
The headlights must be correctly aligned to
guarantee the best visibility conditions for all drivers
while travelling with headlights on.
Contact a Fiat Dealership to have the lights checked
and adjusted, if necessary.
IMPORTANT When the gas discharge (Xenon)
headlamps (for versions/markets, where provided)
are switched on, normally parabolas and light beam
move vertically for about 2 seconds until headlamp
alignment has stabilised.
HEADLIGHT ALIGNMENT CORRECTOR
This device works with the ignition key in the
MAR-ON position and the dipped beam headlights
on.
The car will tilt backwards when it is loaded, raising
the light beam. The beams must therefore be
realigned in this case.
Adjusting headlights alignment
For adjusting, press buttons
and
fig. 88 on
the dashboard. Press button
to increase the light beam of one
position.
Press buttonto decrease the light beam of one
position.
The display shows the position while adjusting.

When reverse gear is released, the front and rear
sensors remain activated until a speed of around 15
km/h is exceeded to allow the parking manoeuvre to
be completed.
The system can also be activated by pressing the
button
fig. 96 in the central panel: a warning light
in the button comes on when the system is
activated.
Every time the ignition key is turned to MAR-ON
the LED on the button
flashes briefly to indicate
that the system is running a diagnosis. The LED
activation should not be understood as a fault.
The sensors are deactivated by pressing the button
again
fig. 96 or when a speed of 15 km/h is
exceeded: the warning light in the button is off when
the system is not active.
When the sensors are activated, the system starts to
produce acoustic signals from the front or rear buzzers as soon as an obstacle is detected with the
frequency increasing as the obstacle gets closer.
When the obstacle is less than about 30 cm away,
the sound becomes continuous. Depending on
the position of the obstacle (in front or behind) the
sound is produced by the corresponding buzzers
(front or rear). The obstacle closest to the vehicle is
signalled.
The acoustic signal stops immediately if the distance
of the obstacle increases. The sound cycle remains
constant if the distance measured by the centre
sensors remains unchanged, while if this situation
occurs for the side sensors, the signal is interrupted
after about 3 seconds (for example, to prevent
signals in the case of manoeuvres alongside walls).
WARNING
Parking and other dangerous
manoeuvres however are always the
driver ’s responsibility.When making these
manoeuvres, always make sure that no people
(especially children) or animals are present
in your manoeuvring space.The parking sensors
are designed to assist drivers: in any case, you
must always pay the utmost attention during
potentially dangerous manoeuvres, even when
carried out at low speed.

❒The performance of the parking assistance system
may also be affected by the position of the
sensors. For example, if the geometry is altered
(as a result of wear of the shock absorbers,
suspension), the tyres are changed, the vehicle is
too heavily laden or specific tuning is carried
out that lowers the vehicle.
❒ The detection of obstacles at the top part of the
car may not be guaranteed because the system
detects obstacles that could cause an impact with
the car in the bottom part.
AT THE FILLING STATIONMOTORI DIESEL - Operation at low
temperatures
If the outside temperature is very low, diesel
thickens due to the formation of paraffin clots with
consequent defective operation of the fuel supply
system.
In order to avoid these problems, different types of
diesel are distributed according to the season:
summer type, winter type and arctic type
(cold/mountain areas). If refuelling with diesel fuel
whose specifications are not suitable for the current
temperature, it is advisable to mix TUTELA DIESEL
ART additive in the proportions shown on the
container. Pour the additive into the tank before the
diesel fuel.
When using or parking the car for a long time in the
mountains or cold areas, it is advisable to refuel
using locally available diesel. In this case, it is also
advisable to keep the tank over 50% full.

USING THE GEARBOXTo engage the gears, press the clutch pedal fully and
shift the gear lever into one of the required positions
(the diagram for gear engagement is shown on the
knob fig. 120 fig. 121).To engage 6
th
gear, operate the lever by pressing it
towards the right in order to avoid engaging 4
th
gear
by mistake. The same applies to the shift from 6th
to 5
th
gear.
To engage reverse R from neutral, lift sliding ring A
and, at the same time:
❒ move the lever to the right and then backwards
(1.6 MultiJet versions) fig. 120;
or
❒ move the lever to the left and then forwards (2.0
MultiJet versions - for versions/markets, where
provided) fig. 121.
IMPORTANT Reverse can only be engaged when the
car is completely stationary. With the engine
running, wait for at least 2 seconds with the clutch
pedal fully pressed before engaging reverse to
prevent damage to the gears and grating.
IMPORTANT The clutch pedal should be used only
for gear changes. Do not drive with your foot resting
on the clutch pedal, however lightly. For versions/
markets where provided, the electronic clutch pedal
control could cut in, interpreting the incorrect
driving style as a fault.

WARNING
Depress the clutch pedal fully to change
gear correctly. It is therefore essential
that there is nothing under the pedals: make
sure the mats are lying flat and do not get
in the way of the pedals.
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 internal components.
SAVING FUELSome useful tips are given below for fuel saving and
reducing harmful emissions of CO
2and other
pollutants [nitrogen oxides, unburnt hydrocarbons,
Particulate Matter (PM) etc.].
GENERAL CONSIDERATIONS
The general factors that affect fuel consumption are
listed below.
Car 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 boot. The weight
of the car (especially when driving in town) and
its ride greatly affects consumption and stability.
Roof rack/ski rack
Remove the roof rack or the ski rack from the roof
after use. These accessories lower aerodynamic
penetration and adversely affect consumption levels.
When transporting particularly large objects, use a
trailer if possible.

Low engine oil pressure
The warning light switches on constantly together
(for versions/markets, where provided) with a
message on the display when the system detects that
the engine oil pressure is too low.
WARNING
If the warning light
turns on when
the car is travelling (on certain versions
together with the message on the display) stop
the engine immediately and contact a Fiat
Dealership.
Engine oil degraded
(versions with DPF only)
The warning light will flash and a specific message will
appear on the display (for versions/markets, where
provided). The warning light may flash in the
following ways, depending on the version:
❒ for 1 minute every two hours;
❒ cycles of 3 minutes with intervals with the warning
light off for 5 seconds until the oil is changed.
After the first indication, at each engine start-up the
warning light will continue flashing as described
above until the oil is changed. The display (for
versions/markets, where provided), shows a
dedicated message together with the warning light. The flashing of this warning light should not be
considered as a fault; it informs the customer that
the oil needs to be changed following normal car use.
Note that engine oil degrades faster under the
following circumstances:
❒
mainly town use of the car which makes the DPF
regeneration process more frequent;
❒ use of the car for short drives, in which the engine
does not have time to reach its regular operating
temperature;
❒ repeated interruption of the regeneration process,
signalled by the DPF warning light coming on.
WARNING
If the warning light switches on, the
deteriorated engine oil must be changed
as soon as possible, and never more than 500
km from the first time that the warning light
switches on. Failure to observe the above
indication may result in severe damage to the
engine and invalidate the warranty. Remember
that the operation of this warning light is not
related to the amount of oil in the engine.
Therefore, never top up with oil when the
warning light starts flashing.
