tion.

TRIP COMPUTER
The trip computer enables to display in se-
quence, by pressing repeatedly button
fig. 16set on the top of the steering col-
umn stalk, the following values:
range, instant consumption, distance
to cover, trip 1 (trip distance, aver-
age consumption, average speed)
and trip 2 (trip distance, average
consumption, average speed).
This information is displayed on the dis-
play of the infotelematic CONNECT sys-
tem.
Reset: press button shown in fig. 16for
over 2 seconds for resetting.
Range
This value shows the distance in km (or
mi) that the vehicle can still cover before
needing fuel, assuming that driving condi-
tions are kept unvaried.
Instant consumption
This value shows average fuel consump-
tion calculated during the last seconds of
travel.

the vehicle is stationary.
WARNING
Fabric upholstery of your Fiat
SCUDO is purpose-made to
withstand common wear re-
sulting from normal use of the
vehicle. It is however absolutely neces-
sary to prevent hard and/or prolonged
scratching/scraping caused by clothing
accessories like metallic buckles, studs,
“Velcro” fixings, etc. that stressing lo-
cally the fabric could break yarns and
damage the upholstery as a conse-
quence.

CORRECT USE
OF THE VEHICLE
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 when the vehi-
cle is stationary or at high or low speed:
in this way the engine will warm up grad-
ually increasing consumption and emis-
sions. You should drive off slowly straight
away avoiding high revs so that the engine
will warm up more quickly.
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 vehicles and
also increase consumption and pollution.
Gear selections
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.CONTAINING
RUNNING COSTS
Some suggestions which may help you to
keep the running costs of the vehicle
down and lower the amount of toxic emis-
sions released into the atmosphere are
given below.
GENERAL CONSIDERATIONS
Vehicle maintenance
Carry out the checks and adjustments/reg-
ulations specified in the “Service Sched-
ule”.
Tyres
Check tyre inflation pressure regularly.
Tyres should be checked at least once
every four weeks: if the pressure is too
low, fuel consumption increases as the re-
sistance to the rolling movement of the
tyre is greater.
Unnecessary loads
Do not travel with too much load.
The weight of the vehicle (specially in ur-
ban traffic) and its trim greatly effects con-
sumption and stability.

CONDITIONS OF USE
Cold starting
Short journeys and frequent cold starts do
not allow the engine to reach optimum op-
erating temperature. This results in a sig-
nificant increase in consumption levels
(from +15 to +30% on the urban cycle)
and emission of harmful substances.
Traffic and road conditions
Rather high consumption levels are tied to
situations with heavy traffic, for example
in queues with frequent use of the lower
gears or in cities with many traffic lights.
Also winding mountain roads and rough
road surfaces adversely affect consump-
tion.
Enforced halts
During prolonged hold-ups (level crossings)
the engine should be switched off. Top speed
Fuel consumption increases considerably
as speed increases. Your speed should be
kept as even as possible and superfluous
braking and acceleration avoided as this
increases both consumption and emis-
sions.
Acceleration
Accelerating violently increasing the revs
will greatly affect consumption and emis-
sions: acceleration should be gradual and
should not exceed the maximum torque.TOWING TRAILERS
IMPORTANTS
For towing caravans or trailers the vehi-
cle must be fitted with a certified tow
hook and an adequate electric system.
To prevent damages to the vehicle elec-
tric system, adopt an electronic control
unit specially designed and dedicated to
the trailer.
Installation should be carried out by spe-
cialised personnel who release a special
document for circulation on the road.
Install any specific and/or additional rear-
view mirrors as specified by law.
Remember that when towing a trailer,
steep hills are harder to climb, the brak-
ing spaces increase and overtaking takes
longer depending on the overall weight.

❒extra-urban cycle: frequent accelerat-
ing in all gears, simulating extraurban
use of the vehicle: speed varies between
0 and 120 km/h;
❒combined consumption: is calculated
weighing about 37% of urban cycle con-
sumption and about 63% of extraurban
consumption.
FUEL CONSUMPTION
The fuel consumption figures given in the
table below are determined on the basis
of the homologation tests set down by
specific European Directives.
The procedures below are followed for
measuring consumption:
❒urban cycle: cold starting followed by
driving that simulates urban use of the
vehicle;IMPORTANT The type of route, traffic
situations, weather conditions, driving
style, general conditions of the vehicle,
trim level/equipment/accessories, load, cli-
mate control system, roof rack, other sit-
uations that affect air drag may lead to dif-
ferent fuel consumption levels than those
measured.
