CEILING LIGHT UNITS
All the ceiling lights come on for a
limited time, i.e. they turn on and off
gradually.
Ceiling light operation
All the ceiling lights come on auto-
matically when the doors are opened
with the remote control or when the
key is introduced in the door lock. Af-
ter some seconds, the lights will go out
gradually, without opening the doors.
When the door lock button on the
remote control is pressed for a long
time, the so-called “localisation” func-
tion is activated: all the ceiling lights
in the passenger compartment come
on together with the direction indi-
cators. This function is recognised by
the system up to a distance of about
30 meters from the vehicle. If the ignition key is turned to S(or
removed) the first row ceiling light
comes on. It will stay on only for a lim-
ited time and will go out gradually.
When one of the front doors is
opened, the central ceiling light, with-
out the spot lights, and the puddle
lights on the doors come on. They re-
main lit for a set time and after a cou-
ple of seconds the door have been
closed, they go off gradually. When the
engine is started, the lights will go off
progressively after a couple of seconds.
When one of the rear doors is
opened the central ceiling light, with-
out the spot lights, come on. It re-
mains lit for a set time and after a cou-
ple of seconds the door have been
closed, it goes off gradually.When the tailgate is opened the lug-
gage compartment lights come on
(one or two lights according to the
model). The lights will go off gradual-
ly when the tailgate is closed.
Front ceiling light fig. 137
The front ceiling light includes a cen-
tral light and two side spot lights with
relative control switch.
By operating buttons A, B, Cthe
lights are turned on singularly.

an electric failure, proceed as follows:
– introduce a screw driver into hole
A from inside the car
– to unlock the latch mechanically,
turn it on the left.
TRANSPORTING LUGGAGE
IMPORTANTFor vehicle versions
without Xenon lights travelling at night
with the luggage compartment loaded
it is necessary to adjust the dipped
beam headlight position (see “Head-
lamps” paragraph in this chapter).When loading the lug-
gage compartment, do
not exceed the permitted
weight limits (see “Technical
specifications” chapter). Also en-
sure that any objects in the lug-
gage compartment are firmly se-
cured and that they cannot be
thrown forward causing injury to
passengers if the vehicle brakes
suddenly.
Heavy loads which are
not securely anchored
could seriously injure pas-
sengers in the event of an acci-
dent. The addition of objects
(spoilers, etc.) on the rear
shelf or boot lid, except
those envisaged by the manufac-
turer, may prevent the tailgate
from working properly.

Anchoring the load fig. 155
The load can be secured with the
belts fastened to the appropriate rings
Ainside the luggage compartment.
These rings can also be used to fix
the luggage retaining net, where fitted.

HEADLAMPS
XENON LAMPS (where fitted)
Xenon lamps work with a voltaic arc
in a pressure Xenon saturated envi-
ronment, in place of the traditional fil-
ament.
The produced light is far greater than
that of traditional lamps, both for its
quality (lighter) and its lighting range.
The advantages in using such lamps
are the following: less eyes fatigue, im-
proved driver’s orientation and driving
safety, especially with the bad weath-
er, with fog and/or inadequate road
signs, illumination of side bands usu-
ally in the shadow.Illumination of side bands consider-
ably improves driving safety because
the driver is able to identify other road
users on the road margins (pedestri-
ans, bikers and motor-bikers).
When the lights come on, the volta-
ic arc tension is very high, but then it
falls.
The maximum light is obtained after
0.5 seconds after turning the head-
lamps on.
The great light produced by this type
of headlamps requires an automatic
system for maintaining the headlight
beam constant and preventing dazzling
other vehicles in the event of sudden
braking, acceleration or while carrying
heavy loads. Never load the rack with
more than the weight al-
lowed (see the “Technical
specifications” section).
Be careful not to knock
the tailgate into objects
on the roof rack.
After travelling a few
miles, check that the an-
chorage bolts of the at-
tachments are still fully tight.

CHANGING A WHEEL
Please note:
– the jack weighs 3.4 kg;
– the jack requires no adjustments;

handle can be fitted on the jack.
Proceed as follows:
1) Stop the car in a position that is
not dangerous for oncoming traffic
where you can change the wheel safe-
ly. The ground should be flat and ad-
equately firm. 2) Turn the engine off and pull up the
handbrake.
3) Engage first gear or reverse or, for
versions with automatic electronic
gear, select P.
4) Lift the boot mat (see the relative
instructions in the “Bonnet” paragraph

ter).
5) Remove lever A-fig. 3.6) Remove protective cover Band
use ring Cto release the elastic band
D, then extract jack E.
7) Close the bonnet and place the
tools next to the wheel to be changed.

When you have finished:

OUT
Modifications or repairs
to the electrical system
carried out incorrectly
and without bearing the features
of the system in mind can cause
malfunctions with the risk of fire.
You should, where pos-
sible, have your bulbs
changed at a Fiat Dealer-
ship. Correct operation of exter-
nal light beams are essential for
safe driving and compliance with
legal requirements.
fig. 11
F0B0126b
Only touch the metal
part when handling halo-
gen bulbs. If the transpar-
ent bulb is touched it reduces the
intensity of the light emitted and
can also reduce the life of the
bulb. If you touch the bulb acci-
dentally, rub it with a cloth moist-
ened with alcohol and leave it to
dry.
Halogen bulbs contain
pressurised gas which, if
broken, may cause small
fragments of glass to be project-
ed outwards.
