ADJUSTING THE HEADLIGHT
BEAM
Proper adjustment of the headlight beams
is of vital importance for your safety and
comfort and also for the other road users.
To ensure you and other drivers have the
best visibility conditions when travelling
with the headlights on, the headlights must
be set properly. Contact Fiat Dealership
to have the headlights properly adjusted.
IMPORTANT When turning on (Xenon)
gas discharge headlight lamps (where pro-
vided), it is normal that there should be a
vertical movement of reflectors, and con-
sequently the same will also happen to the
light beam, for the time required to
achieve the correct headlight trim stabili-
sation, equal to approx. 2 seconds.
Headlight aiming device
It works with ignition key at ONand
dipped beams on. When the car is loaded,
it slopes backwards. This means that the
headlight beam rises. In this case, it is nec-
essary to return it to the correct position.To adjust the headlight slant
fig. 118
Press button Aset on the control panel;
if the car is fitted with (Xenon) gas dis-
charge headlights, slant adjustment is elec-
tronic and therefore button Ais not pre-
sent.The display located on the instrument pan-
el, provides the visual indication of the po-
sitions during the adjustment operation
fig. 119.
Position 0 - one or two people occupy-
ing the front seats.
Position 1 - five people.
Position 2 - five people + load in the boot.
Position 3 - driver + maximum permissi-
ble load stowed in the boot.
IMPORTANT Check beam aiming every
time the load carried changes.

ADJUSTMENT ABROAD
fig. 120-121
The dipped beam headlights are adjusted
for circulation in the country in which the
car is marketed. In countries with oppo-
site circulation, to avoid glaring oncom-
ing vehicles, it is necessary to cover the
areas of the headlight using a special stick-
er tape provided for the purpose and avail-
able at Lineaccessori Fiat. Contact Fiat
Dealership.
ABS SYSTEM
The car is fitted with an ABS braking sys-
tem, which prevents the wheels from lock-
ing when braking, makes the most of road
grip and gives the best control when emer-
gency braking under difficulty road condi-
tions.
System is completed by EBD (Electronic
Braking Force Distribution), which dis-
tributes the braking action between front
and rear wheels.
IMPORTANT To have the maximum ef-
ficiency of the braking system, it is neces-
sary a setting period of about 500 km
(with new car after replacing brake
pads/discs): during this period it is better
to avoid sharp, repeated and prolonged
brakes.
ESP SYSTEM INTERVENTION
When the ABS cuts in, you will feel the
brake pedal pulsating slightly and the sys-
tem get noisier: it means that the speed
should be altered to fit the type of road sur-
face.
If the ABS system cuts in, it is a sign that
the grip between tyre and the road sur-
face has reached the limit: you must slow
down to match the speed to the road grip
available.

Roof rack/ski rack
Remove the roof rack or the ski rack from
the roof as soon as they are no longer
used. These accessories lower air pene-
tration and adversely affect consumption
levels. When needing to carry particular-
ly voluminous objects, preferably use a
trailer.
Electric devices
Use electric devices only for the amount
of time needed. Rear heated window, ad-
ditional headlights, windscreen wipers and
heater fan need a considerable amount of
energy, therefore increasing the require-
ment of current increases fuel consump-
tion (up to +25% in the urban cycle).
Climate control
The air conditioner is an additional load
which greatly affects the engine leading to
higher consumption (on average up to
+20%). When the temperature outside
the car permits it, use the air vents where
possible.
Spoilers
The use of non-certified aerodynamic
items may adversely affect air drag and
consumption levels.DRIVING STYLE
Starting
Do not warm the engine with the car at
a standstill or at idle or high speed: under
these conditions the engine warms up
much more slowly, increasing electrical
consumption and emissions. It is therefore
advisable to move off immediately, slow-
ly, avoiding high speeds. This way the en-
gine will warm faster.
Unnecessary actions
Avoid accelerating when waiting at traffic
lights or before switching off the engine.
This and also double declutching is ab-
solutely pointless on modern cars and al-
so increase consumption and pollution.
Gear selection
As soon as the conditions of the traffic and
road allow, use a higher gear. Using a low
gear to obtain brilliant performance in-
creases consumption.
In the same way improper use of a high
gear increases consumption, emissions an
engine wear.CONTAINING
RUNNING COSTS
Here are some suggestions which may
help you to keep the running costs of your
car down and lower the amount of toxic
emissions released into the atmosphere.
GENERAL CONSIDERATIONS
Car maintenance
Have checks and adjustments carried out
in accordance with the “Service schedule”.
Tyres
Check the pressure of the tyres routine-
ly 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 too much luggage
stowed in the boot. The weight of the car
(especially when driving in town) and its
trim greatly affects consumption and sta-
bility.

WARNING
LIGHTS AND
MESSAGES
Parking sensor failure
(where provided)
The warning light on the dial turns on to-
gether with the message on the display
when failure is detected in parking sensors.
Contact Fiat Dealership.
Antipinch system failure
(where provided)
The warning light on the dial turns on to-
gether with the message on the display
when failure is detected in the antipinch
system.
Contact Fiat Dealership.
Twilight sensor failure
(where provided)
The warning light on the dial turns on (to-
gether with the message on the display)
when failure is detected in twilight sen-
sor (adjusting headlight sensitivity).Check tyre pressure
(where provided)
The warning light on the dial turns on (to-
gether with the message on the display),
when tyre pressure is low or excessive.
In this case, inflate tyres to the specified
pressure values (see paragraph “Inflating
pressures” in section “Technical Specifi-
cations”).
Flat tyres (where provided)
The warning light on the dial turns on (to-
gether with message on the display and
the buzzer), when there is a pressure drop
in one or more tyres. In this way the
T.P.M.S. system warns the driver that one
or more tyre/s is/are flat (i.e. punctured).
IMPORTANT Stop travelling with one or
more flat tyre/s since road holding could
be jeopardised. Stop the car without brak-
ing or steering sharply. Change immedi-
ately punctured wheel with space-saver
spare wheel (where provided - see sec-
tion “In an emergency”) and contact Fiat
Dealership as soon as possible.Tyre pressure monitoring system
failure (where provided)
The warning light on the dial turns on (to-
gether with the message on the display)
when a failure is detected in the T.P.M.S.
system (where provided).
Contact Fiat Dealership as soon as possi-
ble.
Should one or more wheels without sen-
sor be fitted, the instrument panel warn-
ing light will come on (together with the
message on the display) and stay on until
fitting again the four wheels with sensors.

TYPES OF BULBS fig. 13
Various types of bulbs are fitted to your
car:
AGlass bulbs: clipped into position. Pull
to remove.
BBayonet type bulbs: press the bulb,
turn counterclockwise to remove
this type of bulb from its holder.
CTubular bulbs: release them from
their contacts to remove.
D-EHalogen bulbs: to remove the bulb,
release the clip holding the bulb in
place.
FGas-discharge bulbs (Xenon).
F0L0072mfig. 13
Due to high voltage, the bulb
of (Xenon) gas-discharge
headlights must only be replaced by
experts: danger of death! Contact
Fiat Dealership.
WARNING
IMPORTANT The headlight inner surface
may be lightly misted over: this is not a
fault but a natural fact due to low tempe-
rature and the level of air humidity. It will
disappear as soon the headlights are tur-
ned on. The presence of drops inside the
headlights means water infiltration, the-
refore contact Fiat Dealership.
