Here are some useful tips to save fuel and
minimize polluting emissions of CO
2and
other pollutants (nitric oxide, unburnt hy-
drocarbons, fine dusts etc…).GENERAL REMARKS
Vehicle maintenance
Have checks and adjustments carried out
in accordance with the “Scheduled Service
Plan”.
Tyres
Check tyre pressure regularly at least
once every four weeks: excessively low
pressure will increase consumption be-
cause rolling resistance will be higher.
Unnecessary loads
Do not travel with an overloaded boot.
The weight of the vehicle (especially when
driving in town) and its trim 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 de-
crease aerodynamic penetration of the ve-
hicle and have a negative effect on fuel
consumption. It is better to use a trailer
to transport particularly bulky objects.Electric devices
Use electric devices only for the amount
of time needed. The rear heated window,
additional headlights, windscreen wipers
and heater fan need a considerable
amount of energy, therefore increasing fu-
el consumption (up to +25% in the urban
cycle).
Climate control
The climate control system leads to high-
er fuel consumption (up to +20% on av-
erage): use air vents only when the ex-
ternal temperature allows it.
Spoilers
The use of non-certified spoilers may ad-
versely affect air drag and fuel consump-
tion levels.

the warning light turns on and should go
off after a few seconds.
The warning light lights up when the sys-
tem is either not working or not available.
In this case, the braking system preserves
its efficiency unaltered without, howev-
er, offering the extra operating capacity of
the ABS system. Drive carefully and go to
a Fiat Dealership as soon as possible.
On certain versions the dedicated mes-
sage is displayed.EBD SYSTEM
FAILURE
(red) (amber)
Simultaneous turning on of the warning
lights
xwhile >the engine is running
indicates an EBD system failure or non-
availability of the system. Early locking of
the rear wheels may occur in the event of
violent braking causing the vehicle to
swerve.
Drive very carefully to a Fiat Dealership
to have the system inspected.
On certain versions the dedicated mes-
sage is displayed.

provided) (red)
Low engine oil pressure
When the ignition key is moved to MAR,
the warning light turns on and should go
out as soon as the engine is started.
On certain versions the dedicated mes-
sage is displayed.
If the warning light
vturns
on when the vehicle is travel-
ling (on certain versions to-
gether with the message on
the display) stop the engine immediately
and contact a Fiat Dealership.

Turning the ignition key to
MARthe warning light turns on, but it
should go off after few seconds.
If the warning light does not go off or stays

Engine oil pressure sensor failure
The warning light turns on when a failure
is detected by the engine oil pressure sen-
sor.
Go to a Fiat Dealership to have the fault
fixed as soon as possible.
External light failure
(where provided)
See description of warning light 6.

EXTERNAL LIGHTS
FAILURE
(amber)
The warning light comes on (on some ver-
sions only) when a failure is detected in
one of the following lights:
– side/taillights
– stop lights
– rear fog lights
– direction indicators
– plate lights.
The fault identified in the lights above may
be due to: one or more burnt lamps, a

PERIODIC CHECKING
Every 1,000 km or before long journeys,
check and top up if required:
❒engine coolant fluid level;
❒brake fluid level;
❒windscreen washer fluid level;
❒tyre pressure and conditions;
❒operation of lights (headlights, direction
indicators, emergency lights, etc.);
❒operation of the windscreen wiper/
washer system, position and wear of
the windscreen and rear window wiper
blades (where provided);
Every 3,000 km check the following and
top-up, if required: engine oil level.
You are recommended to use FL Sele-
niaproducts, designed and produced
specifically for Fiat vehicles (see table “Re-
fuelling” in section “Technical specifica-
tions”).
DEMANDING
VEHICLE USE
Should prevailing use of the vehicle be un-
der one of the following specially heavy
conditions:
❒trailer towing;
❒dusty roads;
❒short repeated distances (less than 7-
8 km) and with external temperatures
below zero;
❒frequently idling engine or long distance
low speed driving (e.g. taxis or door-to-
door deliveries) or in case of a long
term inactivity;
❒urban driving;
perform the following inspections more
frequently than shown on the Scheduled
Servicing Plan:
❒check front disk brake pad conditions
and wear;❒check cleanness of bonnet and boot
locks and lever cleanness and lubrica-
tion;
❒visually inspect the conditions of: the
engine, gearbox, transmission, pipes and
hoses (exhaust - fuel - brakes), rubber
parts (boots, sleeves, bushes, etc.);
❒check the battery and the battery fluid
(electrolyte) (this check must be car-
ried out by skilled personnel only or by
the Fiat Dealership – also refer to the
instructions provided in the “Battery”
paragraph of this section);
❒visually check the various drive belt
conditions;
❒check pollen filter and replace it, if re-
quired;
