INSTRUMENTS
Instrument background colour and type
may vary according to the version.
TACHOMETER
(speed indicator) fig. 9
It shows the vehicle speed.REV. COUNTER fig. 10
The rev counter shows the engine rpm.
IMPORTANT The electronic injection con-
trol system gradually shuts off the flow of
fuel when the engine is “over-revving” re-
sulting in a gradual loss of engine power.
When the engine is idling, the rev counter
may indicate a gradual or sudden increase
of the speed. This is normal and does not
indicate a fault. It may be caused, for ex-
ample, by the operation of the climate
control system or fan. In this case, a slow
change in engine speed is used to protect
the battery charge.

After demisting/defrosting, operate the

IMPORTANT The climate control system
is very useful for faster demisting because
it dries the air. Regulate the controls as
described above and engage the climate
control by pressing knob C.Window demisting
In the event of considerable external mois-
ture and/or rain and/or considerable dif-
ferences in temperature inside and out-
side the passenger compartment, perform
the following preventive demisting proce-
dure:
❒turn cursor Bon

To ventilate the passenger compartment
properly proceed as follows:
❒fully open the central air vents and side
outlets;
❒turn knob Ato the blue section;

❒turn knob Cto the required speed;
❒turn knob Don
©.ACTIVATION OF
INTERNAL AIR
RECIRCULATION
Turn cursor Bto position
v.
It is advisable to activate air recirculation
during vehicle stops in queues or tunnels
to prevent the introduction of polluted air
from the outside.
Do not use the function for a long time,
particularly if there are many passengers
on board, to prevent the windows from
misting up.
IMPORTANT The internal air recircula-
tion system makes it possible to reach the
required “heating” or “cooling” condi-
tions faster. Do not use the air recircula-
tion function on rainy/cold days as it would
considerably increase the possibility of the
windows misting inside.

STARTING

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.DRIVING STYLE
Starting
Do not warm the engine up with the ve-
hicle running at min. or max. rpm: the en-
gine warms up very slowly in these con-
ditions, increasing consumption and emis-
sions. It is advisable to start off immedi-
ately and slowly keeping the engine speed
down: the engine will warm up much
faster this way.
Unnecessary manoeuvres
Avoid revving up when starting at traffic
lights or before stopping the engine. The
latter manoeuvre, like doubling the clutch,
is unnecessary and causes increased fuel
consumption and pollution.
Gear selection
Use a higher gear as soon as traffic and road
conditions allow. Using a low gear for faster
acceleration will increase consumption.
In the same way improper use of a high gear
increases fuel consumption, emissions and
engine wear.
Top speed
Fuel consumption considerably increases as
speed increases. Keep your speed as uni-
form as possible, avoiding unnecessary
braking and acceleration which cause ex-
cessive fuel consumption and increase emis-
sions.Acceleration
Sudden acceleration has a very negative
effect on consumptions and emissions: ac-
celerate gradually.
CONDITIONS OF USE
Cold starting
Short distances and frequent cold start-
ups will prevent the engine from reach-
ing optimal running temperature.
Consequently, both consumption (from
+15 to +30% on urban cycle ) and emis-
sions will increase.
Traffic and road conditions
Quite high consumption is caused by
heavy traffic, for instance when travelling
in a queue with frequent use of low gears
or in cities with many traffic lights. Moun-
tain and rough roads also have a negative
effect on consumption.
Traffic hold-ups
During prolonged hold-ups (e.g. level cross-
ings) the engine should be switched off.

BODYWORK
PROTECTION FROM
WEATHER CONDITIONS
The main causes of corrosion are the fol-
lowing:
❒atmospheric pollution;
❒salty air and humidity (coastal areas or
hot humid climates);
❒seasonal environment conditions.
Equal importance must be attributed to
the abrasive action of wind-borne atmos-
pheric dust as well as sand and mud and
gravel raised by other vehicles.
On your vehicle Fiat has adopted the best
manufacturing technologies to effectively
protect the bodywork against corrosion.These are the most important technolo-
gies:
❒painting products and systems which
give the vehicle particular resistance to
corrosion and abrasion;
❒use of galvanised (or pre-treated) steel
sheets with high resistance to corro-
sion;
❒spraying the underbody, engine com-
partment, wheelhouse internal parts
and other parts with highly protective
wax products;
❒spraying of plastic parts with a protec-
tive function in the more exposed
points: underdoor, inner fender parts,
edges, etc.;
❒use of “open” boxed sections to pre-
vent condensation and pockets of mois-
ture from triggering rust inside.VEHICLE BODY
AND UNDERBODY WARRANTY
Your vehicle is covered by warranty
against perforation due to rust of any orig-
inal element of the structure or body.
For the general terms of this warranty, re-
fer to the Fiat Warranty Booklet.
