Safety FirstControls and equipment Tips and Maintenance Technical Data
In case of failure, the roof may also closed manually:
•Remove the plasticcover by prizing with a screwdriver in the rear
part.
•Remove the crank from the cover, introduce it into the opening
fully (overcoming the spring resistance).
•Turn the crank clockwise until the roof closes.
•Fit the crank into it’s seating and replace the cover.K

Description
When a load is to be carried on the roof the following needs to be
noted:
•As the rain channels are molded into the roof for streamlining
reasons, the normal type of roof rack cannot be used. To avoid
risks we advise that only the cross bars provided by the factory are
used.
•These cross bars are the base for a complete roof load carrying
system. For safety reasons when carrying luggage, bicycles, surf
boards, skis and boats, the appropriate special adapters are
required.
•If other luggage rack systems are used, or are not mounted
according to the instructions, any damage noted over the vehicle
can not be claimed in the guarantee.

•Disconnect air recirculation mode and A AC

•Rotary control
Ccan be set as you wish.K
Using air conditioner economically
In cooling mode the air conditioner compressor places demands
on the engine and therefore influences the fuel consumption. To
keep the period it is switched on as short as possible, the
following points should be noted.
•If the inside temperature is very high after the car has been
parked in the sun, it is recommended that doors and windows are
opened briefly to enable the hot air to escape.
•The hot air conditioner should not be switched on during a
journey if the windows or sliding/tilting roof* are open.
•The fresh air option should be selected if the desired inside
temperature can be achieved without having to turn on the cooling
system.
K
General notes
•High humidity and outside temperatures may cause
condensation and the evaporator to drip. This water is channeled
outside which can lead to the formation of puddles beneath your
vehicle. This is normal and does not indicate any leak.•For the ventilation to function correctly ice, snow or leaves in
front of the air inlets, on the grid below the windshields (passenger
side, outside) must be removed.
•Only switches
Aand Ccan by adjusted to any intermediate
position.
•When driving at low speed it is advisable to set a low fan speed
and to set switch
Cto position to avoid fogging of the
windshields.
•Since the efficiency of the heating system depends on the
temperature of the coolant, maximum efficiency is achieved when
the temperature reaches service temperature.
•Stale air is channeled outside through the boot area. For this
reason, do not obstruct the air passage from the passenger cabin
to the rear part by placing clothing on the rear shelf.

139 Your vehicle and the environment
Safety FirstControls and equipment Tips and Maintenance Technical Data
Suggestion 6. Avoid short drives
The engine and the catalytic converter must reach its optimum
functioning temperature in order to effectively reduce consumption
and toxic gas emissions.
The fuel consumption of a cold engine of a normal vehicle right
after the start is about 30-40 liters per 100 km. After about one
kilometer the consumption decreases to 20 liters. After about
f fo
ou
ur
r
kilometers the engine has warmed up and the consumption is
normal. For this reason, it is important to avoid short drives and
heating the vehicle’s engine when the vehicle is not moving. Drive
on quickly!
The ambient temperature also counts. The illustration shows the
difference in consumption (l/100km) for the same distance (km) at
+20°C and –10°C. Your vehicle’s consumption is higher in the
summer than in the winter
⇒fig. 102.K
Suggestion 7. Check the tyre pressure
Make sure that the tyres have always adequate pressure. Even half
a bar less increases the level of fuel consumption by 5 percent. If
the pressure is not correct, the tyres wear out faster due to an
excessive deformation and overheating which, in turn, will
decrease the driving performance.
Always check the tyre pressure when the tyre is cold.
In addition, do not drive year round with winter tyres. They make
more noise and increase fuel consumption by 10 percent. Change
to summer tyres on time.
K
Suggestion 8. Avoid unnecessary weight
Apart from driving habits and periodic revisions of your vehicle,
there are other ways to reduce fuel consumption:

Every kilogram increases fuel consumption. For this reason, it is
worth checking your boot to avoid unnecessary weight.
Frequently, the roof rack will stay on the roof even though it is no
longer needed. Due to greater air resistance, an unloaded roof
rack at a speed of 100-120 km/h increases the consumption by
approx. 12%.

(closing windows and sliding roof).
You do not need to remove the Original roof aerial.
• If there are special fittings on the vehicle – e.g. spoilers, roof rack, two-

Paint
shampoo, preferably with a neutral pH, should only be used for
very persistent dirt. Rinse the sponge or glove out thoroughly at
short intervals.
Wheels and sill panels should be cleaned last, using a different
sponge if possible.
After cleaning the vehicle, rinse thoroughly with water and leather
it off.N No

te
e
•The vehicle should not be washed in strong sunshine.
•If the vehicle is rinsed with a hose, do not direct the jet of water
at the lock cylinders and the door/boot lid/tailgate shut lines –
they can freeze up in the winter.
K
Washing vehicle with high pressure cleaner
• The operating instructions for the high pressure cleaner must be
followed closely – particularly with regard to pressure and working
distance.
• Do not use a concentrated jet.
• The water temperature must not be above 60°C.
Conservation
Regular application of protection products protects the vehicle
paintwork to a large extent against the environmental influences
listed under “Washing” on the previous page and even against
light mechanical damage.
At the latest when water on the clean paint does not form small
drops and roll off, the vehicle should be protected by applying a
coat of good hard wax. Even when a wax solution is used regularly

1)The "S" signal is a system which incorporates steering wheel lock and ignition. Once
the ignition is switched off and without removing the key from the ignition this function
allows you to switch on some of the electrical equipment such as the car radio, the
courtesy light, etc. This function is deactivated once the key is removed from the
ignition.
