FUEL
CONSUMPTION
The fuel consumption figures given
in the tables below are determined
on the basis of the type-approval
tests laid down by specific European
Directives.
These consumption values refer to
basic vehicles without optionals.
The procedures below are followed
for measuring consumption:
❒urban cycle: begins with cold
starting, followed by driving
simulating the use of the vehicle in
town;
❒extra-urban cycle: driving that
simulates using the vehicle out of
town with frequent acceleration in all
gears; the speed varies from 0 to 120
km/h;
❒combined consumption: calculated
with a weighting of approximately
37% of the urban cycle and 63% of
the extra-urban cycle.
IMPORTANT The type of route,
traffic situations, weather conditions,
driving style, general conditions of
the vehicle, trim level/equipment/
accessories, climate control system,
vehicle load, roof rack, other
situations that affect air drag may
lead to different fuel consumption
levels than those measured.
IMPORTANT
In practice, fuel consumption may
be higher than the values obtained
during the approval tests.
Here are some of the major factors
that can lead to a difference
between test and real consumption.
1) Vehicle condition: inadequate
servicing, use of roof racks, trailers,
heavy loading, high usage of
electrical devices and the
air conditioning.
2) Driving style: frequent cold starts
for short journeys, poor engine
warming technique, gear selection,
high speeds, sudden acceleration
and braking.3) Traffic and road conditions:
driving in traffic, steep hills or
winding roads, road surface
conditions.
4) Atmospheric conditions:
intemperate weather, wind, rain,
snow, high altitude.
5) Proportion of use in towns and
cities, in the country and on
motorways.
PRACTICAL ADVICE
FOR REDUCING FUEL
CONSUMPTION AND
HARMFUL EMISSIONS
Vehicle conditions
1. Have checks and adjustments
carried out in accordance with the
“Scheduled Servicing Plan”.
2. Check tyre pressure regularly, at
least once every four weeks.
Excessively low pressures will
increase consumption because
rolling resistance will be higher. In
addition, this wears the tyre more
quickly and impairs performance.
3. Only use snow tyres when the
weather conditions make them
absolutely necessary. They increase
consumption and noise.
281

4. Do not travel with a heavy load:
the weight of the vehicle (especially
when driving in town) and its trim
greatly affect fuel consumption and
stability.
5. Remove roof racks or ski racks
after use. These accessories reduce
the vehicle's aerodynamic
penetration and have a negative
effect on fuel consumption.
6. When transporting particularly
large objects, use a trailer if
possible.
7. Use the vehicle's air vents if
possible: travelling with the windows
open impairs aerodynamics.
8. Use electrical devices only for the
amount of time needed. The
vehicle’s heated rear window,
additional headlights, screen wipers
and heater fan require a
considerable amount of energy;
increasing the current uptake
increases fuel consumption (by up
to +25% in an urban cycle).
9. Air conditioning leads to higher
fuel consumption (on average up to
+30%). If the temperature outside
is not too extreme, try and use
the air vents.Driving style
1. After starting the engine you
should drive away immediately and
slowly, avoiding high revs. Do not
warm up the engine at low or high
revs when the vehicle is stationary;
this causes the engine to warm
up more slowly, thereby increasing
fuel consumption, emissions and
mechanical component wear.
2. Avoid pointless actions such as
revving up when at traffic lights
or before stopping the engine. The
latter action, like double-
declutching, is unnecessary and
causes increased fuel consumption
and pollution.
3. Gear selection: select a high gear
as soon as possible (taking into
account normal engine operation
and traffic conditions) without
pushing the engine to high revs
during the intermediate gears. Using
low gears at high revs to get lively
acceleration increases fuel
consumption, harmful emissions
and engine wear.4. Vehicle speed: fuel consumption
increases exponentially as the speed
of the vehicle increases. Keep your
speed moderate and as even as
possible, avoiding unnecessary
braking and acceleration, which
cause excessive fuel consumption
and increased emissions. Keeping a
safe distance from the vehicle in
front helps to maintain a steady
speed.
5. Acceleration: accelerating
violently severely affects
consumption and emissions.
Acceleration should be gradual and
should not exceed the maximum
engine torque rate.

TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS

PRESCRIPTIONS FOR HANDLING THE VEHICLE AT THE END OF
ITS LIFE
Fiat has been committed for many years to safeguarding the environment through the constant improvement of its
production processes and manufacturing products that are increasingly "eco-compatible". To assure customers
of the best possible service in terms of respecting environmental laws and in response to European Directive
2000/53/EC governing vehicles at the end of their life, Fiat is offering their customers the opportunity of handing over
their vehicle (*) at the end of its life without incurring any additional costs.
The European Directive sets out that when the vehicle is handed over, the last keeper or owner should not incur any
expenses as a result of it having a zero or negative market value. In particular, in almost all European Union countries,
until 1st January 2007, vehicles registered after 1st July 2002 will be collected free of charge, whilst from 2007
collection will be free of charge irrespective of the year of registration as long as the vehicle contains its basic
components (in particular the engine and bodywork) and has no additional waste.
To hand your vehicle over at the end of its life without extra cost, contact a Fiat Dealership or authorised collection
and scrapping centres. These centres have been carefully chosen to offer high quality service for the collection,
treatment and recycling of vehicles at their end of life, respecting the surrounding environment.
You can find further information on these collection and scrapping centres either from a Fiat or Fiat Commercial
Vehicle Dealership or by calling the freephone number 00800 3428 0000 or by going on the Fiat website.
