GEAR SHIFT
INDICATOR
(for versions/markets, where
provided)
The GSI (Gear Shift Indicator)
system advises the driver to
change gear through a specific
indication on the instrument panel.
Through the GSI, the driver is
notified that changing gear will
allow a reduction in fuel
consumption.
When the SHIFT UP icon (
SHIFT)
is shown on the display, the GSI is
advising the driver to engage a
higher gear, while the SHIFT DOWN
(
SHIFT) icon advises the driver
to engage a lower gear.
IMPORTANT The indication in the
display remains on until the driver
shifts gear or the driving conditions
go back to a situation where
gearshifting is not required to
improve consumption.

mission" (journey) of the vehicle in
a reciprocally independent
manner. Both functions can be
reset (reset means start of a new
journey).
“Trip A” is used to display the
figures relating to:
❒Outside temperature
❒Range
❒Distance travelled A
❒Average consumption A
❒Instant fuel consumption
❒Average speed A
❒Trip time A (driving time).
❒Reset Trip A

WARNING
98) Always drive at a speed appropriate to the traffic conditions, the weather and traffic regulations. The engine may be
stopped if the DPF light is on; however, repeated interruption of the regeneration process may result in premature
deterioration of the engine oil. For this reason, always wait until the warning light switches off before stopping the
engine as described above. It is not advisable to complete DPF regeneration with the vehicle stationary.

in the automatic switching-on system for the main
beam headlights.
POSSIBLE ICE ON ROAD
When the outside temperature reaches or falls
below 3°C the outside temperature indication
flashes to warn the driver about the possible
presence of ice on the road.
The display will show the dedicated message
(only for versions with a multifunction display).
SPEED LIMIT EXCEEDED

KNOWING THE INSTRUMENT PANEL

SAVING FUEL
Some useful tips are given below
for fuel saving and reducing harmful
emissions of CO2 and other
pollutants (nitrogen oxides, unburnt
hydrocarbons, Particulate Matter
(PM), etc.).
GENERAL
CONSIDERATIONS
The general factors that affect fuel
consumption are listed below.
Vehicle 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
luggage compartment. The weight
of the vehicle (especially when
driving in town) and its geometry
greatly affect fuel consumption and
stability.
Roof rack/ski rack
Remove the roof rack or the ski
rack from the roof after use. These
accessories decrease aerodynamic
penetration of the vehicle and
have a negative effect on fuel
consumption. When transporting
particularly large objects, use a
trailer if possible.
Electric devices
Use electrical devices only for the
amount of time needed. The heated
rear window, additional headlights,
windscreen/rear window wipers
and heater fan need a considerable
amount of energy, therefore
increasing fuel consumption (by up
to 25% in the urban cycle).Climate control
system
Air conditioning leads to higher fuel
consumption (on average up to
+20%). If the temperature outside
permits, try and use the ventilation
only.
Devices for
aerodynamic control
The use of non-certified spoilers
may adversely affect air drag and
fuel consumption.
DRIVING STYLE
The main driving styles that affect
fuel consumption are listed below.
Cranking
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 and
emissions. It is therefore advisable
to move off immediately, slowly,
avoiding high speeds: in this way
the engine will warm up more
quickly.

IMPORTANT
2) Replace the bottle containing the
sealant after the expiry date.
Dispose of the bottle and
the sealant properly. Have the
sealing fluid and the bottle
disposed of in compliance with
national and local regulations.
CHANGING A BULB
GENERAL
INSTRUCTIONS
45)
163) 164)
❒When a light is not working, check
that the corresponding fuse is intact
before changing a bulb. For the
location of fuses, refer to the
paragraph "Replacing fuses" in this
chapter.
❒before changing a bulb check the
contacts for oxidation;
❒burnt bulbs must be replaced by
others of the same type and power;
❒always check the headlight beam
direction after changing a bulb;
IMPORTANT A slight misting may
appear on the internal surface
of the headlight: this does
not indicate a fault and is caused
by low temperature and the degree
of humidity in the air. Misting will
rapidly disappear when the
headlights are switched on. The
presence of drops inside the
headlights indicates infiltration of
water. Contact a Fiat Dealership.
IMPORTANT
45) Halogen bulbs must be handled
by holding the metallic part only.
Touching the transparent part
of the bulb with your fingers may
reduce the intensity of the
emitted light and even reduce the
lifespan of the bulb. In the event
of accidental contact, wipe the
bulb with a cloth moistened with
alcohol and let the bulb dry.
WARNING
163) Modifications or repairs to the
electric system that are not
carried out properly or do not take
the system technical
specifications into account can
cause malfunctions leading to the
risk of fire.
164) Halogen bulbs contain
pressurised gas; in the case of
breakage they may burst.

rating, see “Replacing a bulb”.
FRONT LIGHT
CLUSTERS
The front light clusters contain the
side lights and DRLs (where the
LED solution is not provided),
dipped beam, main beam and
direction indicator bulbs.
Bulbs must be replaced with the
headlight removed and placed on a
work surface.
To remove the headlight, operate as
follows:
❒open the bonnet following the
procedure in the "Bonnet/Luggage
Compartment" paragraph in the
"Knowing your car" chapter;
❒disconnect the electrical connector A
fig. 202 from the headlight;
❒undo the screws B fig. 203 fixing the
headlight to the body, release the
headlight from its housing, in the
lower part, as shown in fig. 203 and
remove the headlight placing it on
a work surface;❒follow the steps described below for
replacing the bulbs;
❒after the replacement fit the
headlight, fastening it with the fixing
screws B fig. 203;
❒connect the electrical connector A
fig. 202 to the headlight.
The bulbs are arranged inside the
light cluster as follows fig. 204:
A Direction indicatorsB Dipped beam headlights
C Main beam headlights
D Side lights/daytime running lights
E Side lights/DRLs with LEDs (as
an alternative to D)
To replace a bulb of the main beam
headlights, remove rubber cap C
fig. 205.
To replace a bulb of the dipped
beam headlights, remove rubber
cap B fig. 205.
To replace the bulb of the direction
indicators and side lights/DRLs
(when not provided with LEDs)
remove rubber cap A fig. 205.
After replacement, refit the rubber
caps correctly, ensuring that they
are locked in place.
