ously shown;
❒make sure the headrests are com-
pletely lowered;
❒use levers Dand E-fig. 116to fold
the rear seat backs on the cushions;
❒make sure the seats are completely in
backward position by means of han-
dles Bor C-fig. 115;
❒use tapes Fand G-fig. 116to tilt the
seats completely.
IMPORTANT Tilting is only possible with
rear seats positioned completely back-
wards.
The tilted seats are fastened in this posi-
tion by the action of the side struts.
Partial extension
Operating the required part (right or left)
of the seat in the same way it is possible
to obtain partial extension of the boot
fig. 119.
IMPORTANT For rear seat complete tilt-
ing it could be necessary to move the front
seats forward.

dangerous to carry heavy objects on
the rear seat back.
WARNING
The position of the rear seat
backs folded on the respec-

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.
Headlight aiming device
The device can be operated with the ig-
nition key at MARand dipped beam head-
lights on. When the car is loaded, it slopes
backwards. This means that the headlight
beam rises. In this case, it is necessary to
return it to the correct position.
To adjust the headlight slant
fig. 126
To adjust the headlight slant operate but-
tons
and Òlocated on the dashboard.
The display provides the visual indication
of the positions during the adjustment op-
eration.
fig. 126F0H0736m
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.
HEADLIGHT ADJUSTMENT
ABROAD
The dipped-beam headlights are adjusted
for circulation in the country in which the
vehicle is marketed.
In countries with opposite circulation, to
avoid glaring oncoming vehicles, it is nec-
essary to cover the areas of the headlight
as shown below: this is done using non-
transparent sticker tape.Fig. 127-128refer to passing from right-
hand drive to left-hand drive.

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.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 vehicle 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.

FIX & GO automatic
(QUICK TYRE REPAIR
KIT) (where provided)
The quick tyre repair kit Fix & Go auto-
matic is placed in the boot.
The kit includes:
❒bottle A-fig. 3containing sealer and fit-
ted with:
– filling pipe B;
– sticker Cbearing the notice “max.
80 km/h”, to be placed in a position
visible to the driver (on the instru-
ment panel) after fixing the tyre;
❒instruction brochure fig. 4, to be used
for prompt and proper use of the quick
repair kit and to be then handed to the
personnel charged with handling the
treated tyre;
❒compressor Dincluding gauge and con-
nections;
❒a pair of protection gloves located in
the side space of the compressor;
❒adapters for inflating different elements.
In the kit container (placed in the boot un-
der the carpet) are also housed the screw-
driver and the tow hitch.IMPORTANT Do not use the quick re-
pairing kit if the tyre is damaged due to
driving with the wheel flattened.
fig. 3F0H0354mfig. 4F0H0355m
Hand the instruction
brochure to the personnel
charged with treating the tyre re-
paired with the kit.
WARNING
IT SHOULD BE NOTICED THAT:
The sealing fluid of the quick tyre repair
kit is effective with external temperatures
between –20 °C and +50 °C.
The sealing fluid has limited life.
In the event of a puncture
caused by foreign bodies, it is
possible to repair tyres show-
ing damages on the track or
shoulder up to max 4 mm diameter.

WHEN NEEDING TO
CHANGE A BULB
GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
❒When a light is not working, check
that it has not fused before changing
the bulb. For the location of the fuses,
refer to “If a fuse blows” in this chap-
ter;
❒Before replacing a bulb that does not
work, check that the contacts are not
oxidised;
❒Burnt bulbs must be replaced by oth-
ers of the same type and power;
❒Always check the height of the head-
light beam after changing a bulb. For versions with alloy rims
❒Make sure that hub contact surfaces
are clean;
❒Refit the standard wheel fitting it on
the pins, refit the fastening bolts and
tighten them using the wrench pro-
vided;
❒Lower the car and remove the jack;
❒Using the wrench provided, tighten
the bolts in the sequence shown pre-
viously for the space-saver spare
wheel fig. 16;
❒Refit the snap-fitted wheel hub cap.
When you have finished
❒Stow the spare wheel C-fig. 11in the
space provided in the boot;
❒Insert the jack partially open in its con-
tainer B-fig. 11forcing it lightly to
prevent it from vibrating when trav-
elling;
❒Put the tools back into their places in
the container;
❒Stow the container complete with
tools on the spare wheel and secure
everything with the clamping device
A-fig. 11;
❒Correctly re-position the stiff cover.
Modifications or repairs to
the electrical system carried
out incorrectly and without bearing
the features of the system in mind can
cause malfunctions with the risk of
fire.
WARNING
Halogen bulbs contain pres-
surised gas which, if broken,
may cause small fragments of glass to
be projected outwards.
WARNING
Only touch the metal part
when handling halogen bulbs.
If the transparent bulb is
touched it reduces the intesi-
ty of the light emitted and can also re-
duce the life of the bulb. If you touch
the bulb accidentally, rub it with a
cloth moistened with alcohol and leave
it to dry.
IMPORTANT The headlight inner surface
may be lightly misted over: this is not a
fault but a natural fact due to low tem-
perature and the level of air humidity. It
will disappear as soon the headlights are
turned on. The presence of drops inside
the headlights means water infiltration,
therefore contact Fiat Dealership.
