SUGGESTIONS FOR
DRIVING
SAVING FUEL
Fuel consumption is approved in
compliance with a standard and
regulated method that is identical for all
manufacturers, allowing vehicles to be
compared with each other. The real fuel
consumption depends on the vehicle's
usage, equipment and driving style.
Depending on the vehicle, you can have
different functions available that let you
reduce your fuel consumption:
gear change indicator;
driving style indicator;
route summary and ecological advice
through a multi-media display panel;
the ECOMODE function that can be
activated by the ECO button.
If the vehicle has one, the navigation
system completes this information.Gear change indicators
Depending on the versions, a warning
light 1 fig. 224 on the instrument panel
tells you the best time to shift up or
down to optimise fuel consumption:
Shift up;
Shift down;
Driving style indicator
This informs you about your adopted
driving style in real time. The result is
shown by the colour of the indicator
light 2 fig. 224.
Green: flexible, economical driving;
Yellow: adopt a flexible style;
Orange: driving too dynamic.
To activate/deactivate the driving style
indicator, refer to the RADIO/TOUCH –
RADIO NAV supplement.Route summary
When the engine is stopped, an
appropriate message appears on the
display 3 fig. 225 with information about
your last route.
It indicates:
average fuel consumption;
mileage;
the number of kilometres saved.

A general grade from 0 to 100 appears
that allows you to assess your
ecological driving performance: high
values mean reduced fuel consumption.
Below is some ecological advice to
improve your performance. Store your
preferred routes lets you compare
performances. For further information,
refer to the RADIO/TOUCH – RADIO
NAV supplement.
ECOMODE
ECOMODE is a function that optimises
fuel consumption. It acts on a few of
the vehicle's uses (heating, air
conditioning, power steering, etc.) and
on a few driving operations
(acceleration, gear shift, speed
regulation, deceleration, etc.).
Activation of the function
Press button 4 fig. 225.
TheECOfig. 226 indicator light 5 on
the instrument panel turns on to
confirm that it has been activated.
While driving, you can temporarily leave
the ECOMODE function to reset all
engine performances.
To do this, press the accelerator pedal
firmly.
The ECOMODE function is reactivated
as soon as you release the accelerator.
Deactivating the function
Press button 4 fig. 225.
TheECOfig. 226 warning light 5 on the
instrument panel turns off to confirm
that it has been deactivated.BehaviourRather than heat the engine while
stopped, we advise you to drive
moderately until the engine reaches its
normal operating temperature.
Speed increases fuel consumption.
Do not strain the engine by
exceeding speed in intermediary gears.
Use the highest gear.
Avoid sudden acceleration.
Brake as little as possible. By
assessing the danger or curve in
advance, it will be sufficient to lift your
foot off the accelerator.
When going uphill, we advise you to
keep a steady speed, without having to
change it.
In modern vehicles, double clutching
before stopping the engine is not
necessary and could even cause
damage.Tyres fig. 227
Pressure too low can increase fuel
consumption.
Using unsuitable tyres can increase
fuel consumption.
Advice for use
Favour the ECOMODE function.
Electricity increases fuel
consumption. We advise you to turn off
accessories when they are not in use.
You must use your lights according to
the laws in effect in the country you are
in.
Use diffusers as much as possible.
Driving at 100 km/h with the windows
open increases fuel consumption by
4% fig. 228.
For vehicles with climate control, fuel
consumption is increased (especially in
cities) when in use. For vehicles with
manual climate control, turn off the
system when you no longer need it.

wash the vehicle with high pressure
cleaners;
apply stickers to the painted surfaces
(they might leave traces).
What to do
Wash the vehicle by hand, with lots of
water, using a soft cloth or sponge.
Going through an automatic car
wash
Bring the windscreen wiper to the stop
position (refer to the "Windscreen /
Rearscreen wiper” paragraph in the
"Getting to know your vehicle” chapter).
Check that external equipment is fixed
properly (additional lamps, rearview
mirrors) and remove the radio aerial (for
versions/markets where provided).
Headlight cleaning
Since the headlights are equipped with
plastic materials, use a soft cloth or
cotton pad. If this is not sufficient, wet it
slightly with soapy water, then rinse with
a soft cloth or cotton. Finish by drying
delicately with a soft, dry cloth. Do not
use alcohol based detergents or tools
(e.g. a scraper).
Windows
(e.g.: the instrument panel, clock,
outside temperature display panel,
radio display panel, multi-media or
multi-function display panel, etc.)Use a soft, cotton cloth. If this is not
sufficient, use a soft cloth (or a cotton
pad) slightly wetted with soapy water,
then rinse with a soft cloth or wet
cotton.
Finish by drying delicately with a soft,
dry cloth.
Do not use alcohol-based products
and/or atomisers on the area.
WARNING
225)In order to preserve the aesthetic
appearance of the paint, abrasive products
and/or polishes should not be used for
cleaning the vehicle.
226)Avoid washing with rollers and/or
brushes in washing stations. Wash the
vehicle only by hand using neutral pH
detergents; dry it with a dampened
chamois leather. Abrasive products and/or
polishes should not be used for cleaning
the vehicle. Bird droppings must be
washed off immediately and thoroughly as
the acid they contain is particularly
aggressive. Avoid (if at all possible) parking
the vehicle under trees; remove vegetable
resins immediately as, when dried, it may
only be possible to remove them with
abrasive products and/or polishes, which is
highly inadvisable as they could alter the
typical opaqueness of the paint. Do not
use pure windscreen washer fluid for
cleaning the front windscreen and rear
window; dilute it min. 50% with water. Only
use pure screen washer fluid when strictly
necessary due to outside temperature
conditions.
IMPORTANT
7)Detergents pollute the environment. The
vehicle should be washed in areas
equipped for collecting and purifying the
liquid used in the washing process.

INTERIOR
227) 228) 229)
62) 63)
If it undergoes correct service, the
vehicle can last longer. Therefore, we
advise you to regularly see to servicing
the interior of your vehicle.
Every spot must be seen to promptly.
Whatever caused the stain, use cold,
soapy water (possibly warm) based on
mild soap.
Detergents are prohibited (liquid
detergent for dishes, powdered
detergent, alcohol-based products).
Use a soft cloth.
Rinse and blot the excess water.
Instrument glass
(For example: instrument panel, clock,
outside temperature display panel,
radio display panel etc.)
Using a soft, cotton cloth. If this is not
sufficient, use a soft cloth (or a cotton
pad) slightly wetted with soapy water,
then rinse with a soft cloth or wet
cotton.
Finish by drying delicately with a soft,
dry cloth.
Do not use alcohol-based products
and/or liquid sprays on the area.Seat belts
They should be kept clean.
Use products selected by Fiat services
or soap and warm water, rubbing with a
sponge and drying with a dry cloth.
Do not use detergents or chemical
products.
Fabric (seats, door upholstery, etc.)
Dust the fabric regularly.
Liquid spots
Use soapy water.
Blot lightly (without rubbing) with a soft
cloth, then rinse and remove residual
liquid.
Solid or pasty spots
Immediately and delicately remove the
excess solid or pasty material with a
spatula (working from the edges to the
middle, keeping the spot from growing).
Clean as indicated for liquid spots.
Special procedure for candy,
chewing gum
Apply an ice cube to crystallise it, then
proceed as indicated for solid spots.
IMPORTANT For any interior service
advice or in case of unsatisfactory
results, see a Fiat Dealership.Dismounting/remounting
removable equipment original to
the vehicle
If you need to remove original
equipment from the passenger
compartment (for example, mats) in
order to clean it, be sure to replace
them carefully on the correct side (the
driver's mat goes on the driver's side)
and fasten them using the components
supplied with them (for example, the
driver's mat must be held in place with
the standard fastening elements).
In any case, when the vehicle is
stopped, make sure nothing can
interfere with driving (obstacle impeding
use of the pedals: a heel that catches
on the mat, etc.).
What not to do
Placing objects where the diffusers are,
such as deodorants, air fresheners,
etc., which could damage the
dashboard trim.
Use a high-powered or spray cleaner
inside the passenger compartment:
without the necessary precautions, you
could damage the electrical or
electronic components in the vehicle.
