ROOF RACK/
SKI RACK
The roof rack/ski rack shall be secured to
the roof at points A-fig. 115.
To mount it, lift the tabs and proceed as
follows:
❒for versions with sunroof: extract the
tabs using the screwdriver provided
in the kit to reach the fastening seats
fig. 116;
❒for versions without sunroof: lift the
tabs using the screwdriver provided
in the kit to reach the fastening seats
fig. 117;
A roof rack/ski rack specially designed for
the car is available at Lineaccessori Fiat.After few kilometres, check that the fas-
tening screws are firmly tightened.
IMPORTANT Never exceed the max.
permissible loads (see section “Technical
specifications”).
The car can be fitted with two longitudi-
nal bars that can be used, by adding spe-
cial accessories to carry various objects
(e.g.: skis, windsurf, etc..).

fig. 117F0L0232m
Open the tailgate with care
when carrying objects on the
roof rack bars to prevent impacts.

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.

❒extra-urban cycle: frequent accel-
erating in all gears, simulating extrau-
rban use of the car; the speed varies
between 0 and 120 km/h;
❒combined consumption: is calcu-
lated weighing about 37% of urban cy-
cle consumption and about 63% of
extraurban consumption.
FUEL CONSUMPTION
The fuel consumption figures given in the
table below are determined on the basis
of the homologation tests set down by
specific European Directives.
The procedures below are followed for
measuring consumption:
❒urban cycle: cold starting followed
by driving that simulates urban use of
the car;
