SAVING FUELHere are some suggestions which can help you to
save fuel and lower harmful emissions.
GENERAL CONSIDERATIONS
Car maintenance
Have checks and adjustments carried out in
accordance with the “Scheduled Servicing Plan”.
Ty r e s
Check the tyre pressures at least once every 4
weeks: if the pressure is too low, consumption levels
increase as resistance to rolling is higher.
Unnecessary loads
Do not travel with an overloaded boot. The weight
of the car and its arrangement 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 lower aerodynamic
penetration and adversely affect consumption levels.
When transporting particularly large objects, use a
trailer if possible.Electrical devices
Only use electrical devices for the amount of time
needed. The heated rear window, additional
headlights, windscreen 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
The use of the climate control system leads to higher
fuel consumption. If the temperature outside
permits, try to use ventilation only.
Devices for aerodynamic control
The use of non-certified devices for aerodynamic
control may adversely affect air drag and fuel
consumption.
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
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.

Restore the standard wheel as soon as possible,
because, once placed in the associated compartment,
the luggage compartment load platform is rendered
uneven as the standard wheel is larger than the
space-saver wheel.
REFITTING THE STANDARD WHEEL
Following the procedure described previously, raise
the car and remove the space-saver wheel.
Versions with steel rims
Proceed as follows:
❒make sure the contact surfaces between standard
wheel and hub are clean so that the fastening
bolts will not come loose;
❒fit the standard wheel by inserting the first bolt by
2 threads into the hole closest to the inflation
valve;❒fit the hub cap, aligning the crescent hole with the
bolt already fitted, then fit the other bolts;
❒using the wrench provided, tighten the fastening
bolts;
❒lower the car and remove the jack;
❒using the wrench provided, fully tighten the bolts
in the sequence shown previously.
Versions with alloy wheels
❒insert the wheel on the hub and using the wrench
provided tighten the bolts;
❒lower the car and remove the jack;
❒using the wrench provided, fully tighten the bolts
in the sequence shown;
❒reinstall the pressure-fitted hub cap, making sure
that the reference hole on the wheel is aligned
with the reference hole on the cap.
IMPORTANT If it is not fitted properly, the hub cap
may detach itself when the vehicle is running.
At the end of operation
❒stow the space-saver wheel in the compartment
provided in the luggage compartment;
❒insert the jack and the other tools in the
container;
❒arrange the container and tools on the space-saver
wheel;
❒correctly reposition the boot mat.
