SAVING FUEL
Some useful tips are given below for fuel saving and
reducing harmful emissions of CO2 and other
pollutants (nitrogen oxides, unburnt hydrocarbons,
Particulate Matter (PM) etc.).
GENERAL CONSIDERATIONS
The general factors that affect fuel consumption are
listed below.
Vehicle maintenance
Have checks and adjustments carried out in
accordance with the “Scheduled Servicing Plan”.
Ty r e s
Check the tyre pressure at least once every four
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 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 reduce the aerodynamic
coefficient of the vehicle and have a negative effecton fuel consumption. It is better to use a trailer to
transport particularly bulky objects.
Electric devices
Only use electrical devices for the amount of time
needed. The heated rear window, additional
headlights, windscreen/rear window 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 air conditioner leads to higher fuel consumption
(on average up to +20%). If the temperature outside
is not too extreme, try and use the air vents.
Spoilers
The use of non-certified spoilers may adversely affect
aerodynamics and fuel consumption.

SEAT BELT REMINDER (red)
The warning light on the panel comes on steadily
when the vehicle is stationary and the driver's seat
belt is not correctly fastened. It will flash, and be
accompanied by an audible warning, if the front seat
belts are not correctly fastened when the vehicle
is moving.
The SBR (Seat Belt Reminder) acoustic warning tone
can be disabled only by a Fiat Dealership.
On some versions, the system can be reactivated
from the setup menu.
DOOR OPEN (red)
On certain versions, the warning light turns on when
one or more doors or the boot are not properly
closed.
A specific message is displayed on certain versions.
LOW ENGINE OIL LEVEL (red)
When turning the ignition key to MAR, the warning
light turns on but it should go off after a few
seconds.This warning light appears on the panel when the
engine oil level falls below the minimum
recommended value. Restore the correct engine oil
level (see “Checking fluid levels” in the "Servicing and
care" section).
A specific message is displayed on certain versions.
INJECTION SYSTEM FAULT
(Multijet versions - amber) - EOBD
ENGINE CONTROL SYSTEM
FAULT (petrol versions - amber)
Injection system failure
Under normal conditions, turning the ignition key to
MAR, the warning light turns on but it should go
off after the engine starts.
If the warning light stays on or comes on when
travelling, it means there is a fault in the injection
system which could cause loss of performance, poor
handling and high fuel consumption levels.
A specific message is displayed on certain versions.
Under these conditions, the vehicle can continue
travelling at moderate speed without demanding
excessive effort from the engine. In any case, you
should go to a Fiat Dealership as soon as possible.
EOBD engine management system failure
Under normal conditions, turning the ignition key to
MAR, the warning light turns on but it should go
off after the engine starts.

CHECKING LEVELS
When topping up, take care not to mix up
the various types of fluids: they are not
compatible with each other and could
seriously damage the car.
WARNING
Never smoke while working in the
engine compar tment : inflammable gases
and vapours may be present , constituting a fire
risk.

ENGINE OIL
Engine oil level check
Check the oil level a few minutes (about 5) after the
engine has stopped, with the vehicle parked on
level ground.
Take out the dipstick A fig. 182 - fig. 183, clean it and
then fully reinsert it; take it out and check that the
level is between the MIN and MAX marks on the
dipstick. The interval between MIN and MAX marks
corresponds to about 1 litre of oil.
Topping up the engine oil
If the level of the oil is close to or below the MIN
mark, add oil via filler B fig. 183 until the MAX mark
is reached.
The oil level must never exceed the MAX. mark.IMPORTANT If the engine oil level after the check is
over the MAX level, go to a Fiat Dealership to
have the correct level restored.
IMPORTANT After adding or changing the oil, let the
engine turn over for a few seconds and wait a few
minutes after turning it off before you check the
level.
Engine oil consumption
The maximum engine oil consumption is usually 400
grams every 1000 km.
When the vehicle is new, the engine needs to be run
in, therefore the engine oil consumption can only
be considered stabilised after the first 5,000–6,000
km.
IMPORTANT The oil consumption depends on
driving style and the conditions under which the
vehicle is used.
