HOW TO DEACTIVATE
THE ALARM fig. 12
Press button
Ëof the key with remote
control.
The system will react as follows (with the
exception of certain markets):
❒two brief flashes of the direction in-
dicators;
❒two brief “beeps”;
❒door unlocking.
IMPORTANT Operating a door with the
metal insert of the key will not activate the
alarm.
To deactivate the alarm, turn the ignition
key to ON.

VOLUMETRIC PROTECTION
SENSORS
The volumetric sensors are located inside
the front ceiling light in the passenger’s
compartment. To make sure that the vol-
umetric sensors are working properly,
check that doors, boot, bonnet, windows
and sunroof (where provided) are shut.
Anti-raising protection
deactivation
If it is necessary to switch on the alarm
when animals or people are in the car,
press button A-fig. 13 on the front ceil-
ing light to deactivate the volumetric pro-
tection.
Deactivation is needed also in the pres-
ence of additional independent heater and
when it is switched on with the remote
control.
fig. 14F0L0172m
ANTI-RAISING SENSOR
The anti-raising sensor detects any ab-
normal car raising/sloping, even partial
(e.g.: attempt to remove a wheel).
This sensor can detect the smallest car
sideslip angle changes, both longitudinally
and transversally. Sideslip angle changes
lower than 0.5°/min. (e.g.: slow tyre flat-
tening) are not considered).
Anti-raising protection
deactivation
To deactivate the anti-raising protection
(for example when towing the car with
alarm on) press button B-fig. 14on the
front ceiling light. Sensor cut-out stays on
until activating the central door opening
again.

AND CONTROLS
When the max. demisting/defrosting func-
tion is on, the button led and the heated
rear window button led are on. FULL
AUTOwording on the display is off.
When the max. demisting/defrosting func-
tion is on, the only manual operations pos-
sible are manual adjustment of the fan
speed and switching heated rear window
off.
With max. demisting/defrosting function
on, the fan works according to the previ-
ously set air distribution in order to guar-
antee top climatic comfort under what-
ever condition.
Pressing the max. demisting/defrosting
button or the air distribution buttons or
operating the temperature knobs, the sys-
tem switches off the max. demisting/de-
frosting function and restores the operat-
ing conditions of the system prior to func-
tion activation.Heated rear window and door
mirror demisting/defrosting
button H
Press this button to activate heated rear
window demisting/defrosting. When this
function is on, the button led is on.
This function is timed and switches off au-
tomatically after about 20 minutes or by
pressing again the button or by turning the
engine off. It will not be switched on au-
tomatically when restarting the engine.
IMPORTANT Do not apply stickers on
the inside of the rear window over the
heating filaments to avoid damage that
might cause it to stop working properly.ADDITIONAL HEATER
(Multijet versions)
This device enables quick warming up of
the passenger’s compartment in cold en-
vironmental conditions.
The additional heater will switch on au-
tomatically after turning the ignition key
to ON.
IMPORTANT The additional heater
works only with outside temperature be-
low 12°C, engine coolant temperature be-
low 50°C and car battery voltage over
10.25 V.
IMPORTANT Do not park the car over
flammable material such as paper, dry
grass or leaves: fire danger.

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 car 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 with the car at
a standstill or at idle or high speed: under
these conditions the engine warms up
much more slowly, increasing electrical
consumption and emissions. It is therefore
advisable to move off immediately, slow-
ly, avoiding high speeds. This way the en-
gine will warm faster.
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 cars and al-
so increase consumption and pollution.
Gear selection
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
Here are some suggestions which may
help you to keep the running costs of your
car down and lower the amount of toxic
emissions released into the atmosphere.
GENERAL CONSIDERATIONS
Car maintenance
Have checks and adjustments carried out
in accordance with the “Service schedule”.
Tyres
Check the pressure of the tyres routine-
ly at an interval of no more than 4 weeks:
if the pressure is too low, consumption
levels increase as resistance to rolling is
higher.
Unnecessary loads
Do not travel with too much luggage
stowed in the boot. The weight of the car
(especially when driving in town) and its
trim greatly affects consumption and sta-
bility.
