Open the tailgate with care when carrying
objects on the roof rack to prevent injuries.
WARNING
A heavy load that has not been secured
may cause serious injuries in case of
accident.
WARNING
EXTENDING THE BOOT
(versions with fixed rear seat) fig. 76
To extend the boot, proceed as follows:
1) The parcel shelf removed can be placed transversally
behind the backrests. To remove, release the two catch-
es A (one each side) from their locations and pull the par-
cel shelf outwards.
2) Operate the levers on the backrests outer side and tilt
the backrest forwards shifting aside the seat belt.
For three-point central seat belts see paragraph “Use of
the central seat belt” in chapter “Safety devices”.
To bring back the seat in its standard position: lift the back-
rest and push it backwards until you hear the locking click
and make sure the seat belts are at the front of the back-
rest.
Upon demand the car can be fitted with split rear seat.The boot extension possibilities offered by the split seat
are many and can be chosen according to the number of
passengers and the amount of luggage to be carried:
❒
total extension with right and left side of the seat tilt-
ed as described above;
❒
partial extension with left or right side of the seat tilt-
ed and place only for one person on the rear seat.
IMPORTANT If in a rather heavy load is being carried in
the boot and you are travelling at night, check and adjust
the main beam headlights aiming (see “Headlights” in this
section).fig. 76

HEADLIGHTSHEADLIGHT BEAM AIMING
The correct aiming of the headlights is important for the
comfort and safety of not only the driver but all other road
users. This is also covered by a specific rule of the high-
way code. The headlights must be correctly aimed to get
the best visibility conditions for all drivers while travel-
ling with headlights on. Contact a Fiat Dealership to have
the headlights properly adjusted. Check headlight beam
aiming every time the load or its distribution change.
SLANT COMPENSATION fig. 83
The car is fitted with electric adjustment of the beams, op-
erating with ignition key at MAR and dipped headlights on.
When the car is loaded, it slopes backwards. This means
the headlight beam rises.
In this case, repeat beams aiming by buttons + and −.The display provides a visual indication of the positions
during adjustment.
Correct positions depending on the load
Position 0 – one or two passengers on front seats.
Position 1 – four passengers.
Position 2 – four passengers + load in the boot.
Position 3 – driver + maximum permitted load in the boot.

(for versions/markets where provided)
Contact a Fiat Dealership to have the fog lights properly
adjusted.ADJUSTING THE HEADLIGHTS WHEN
ABROAD fig. 85
Dipped headlights are adjusted to drive in the country
where the vehicle was originally purchased. When trav-
elling in countries with opposite driving direction, to avoid
blinding the drivers on the other side of the road, you need
to cover the headlight areas depending on the Highway
code of the country you are travelling in.
This is done using non-transparent sticker tape on
the headlights as shown in the figure. The figure show how
to change from left-hand drive to right-hand drive.

clutching is absolutely pointless on modern cars and also
increases consumption and pollution.
Gear selection
As soon as the conditions of the traffic and road allow, use
a higher gear. Using a low gear for faster acceleration will
increase consumption.
In the same way improper use of a high gear increases con-
sumption, emissions an engine wear.
Top speed
Fuel consumption considerably increases with speed.
Avoiding unnecessary braking and acceleration, which cost
in terms of both fuel and emissions.
Acceleration
Accelerating violently increasing the revs will greatly af-
fect consumption and emissions: acceleration should be
gradual.
CONDITIONS OF USE
Cold starting
Short journeys and frequent cold starts will prevent the en-
gine from reaching optimal running temperature. This re-
sults in a significant increase in consumption levels (from
+15 to +30% on the urban cycle) and emission of harmful
substances. Electric devices
Use electric devices only for the amount of time needed.
Rear heated window, additional headlights, windscreen
wipers and heater fan need a considerable amount of en-
ergy, therefore a higher requirement of current involves
and increase of fuel consumption (up to +25% in the
urban cycle).
Climate control system
The climate control system 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.
Devices for aerodynamic control
The use of non-certified devices for aerodynamic control
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 con-
sumption and emissions. It is therefore advisable to move
off immediately, slowly, avoiding high speeds: in this way
the engine will warm faster.
Unnecessary actions
Avoid accelerating when starting at traffic lights or be-
fore switching off the engine. This and also double de-

CHANGING A BULBGENERAL INSTRUCTIONS❒
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 aiming after changing
a bulb;
❒
when a light is not working, check that the corre-
sponding fuse is intact before changing a bulb. For the
location of fuses, refer to the paragraph “Replacing fus-
es” in this chapter.
Modifications or repairs to the electric sys-
tem that are not carried out properly or
do not take the system technical specifications in-
to account can cause malfunctions leading to the
risk of fire.
WARNING
Halogen bulbs contain gas under pressure;
if they break, glass fragments may be dis-
persed.
WARNING
When handling halogen bulbs, only touch
the metal part. If the transparent bulb is
touched with the fingers, its lighting inten-
sity is reduced and life of the bulb may be com-
promised. In the event of accidental contact, wipe
the bulb with a cloth moistened with alcohol
and leave it to dry.
IMPORTANT The headlight inner surface might be slight-
ly misted: this should not be considered irregular rather
a natural phenomenon due to low temperature and the air
humidity level. Misting will disappear as soon as the head-
lights are turned on. The presence of drops inside the
headlights indicates infiltration of water. Contact a Fiat
Dealership.
Where possible, it is advisable to have bulbs
changed at a Fiat Dealership. The correct
operation and aiming of the outer lights are
absolutely important to the safety of the car and
its passengers and the subject of specific laws about
road traffic.
