HEADLIGHTS
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. 122
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. 123: multifunctional display - fig. 124:
reconfigurable multifunctional display).
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.

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.
