MUST BE READ!
REFUELLING
Refuel petrol engine vehicles with unleaded petrol, octane rating (RON) no lower than 95.
The use of other products or mixtures may irreparably damage the engine with invalidation of the warranty due
to the damage caused.
ENGINE START-UP
Make sure the handbrake is pulled up; put the gear lever into neutral; press the clutch pedal down to the floor
without touching the accelerator; turn the ignition key to AVV and release it as soon as the engine starts.
PARKING OVER INFLAMMABLE MATERIAL
When functioning normally, the catalytic converter reaches high temperatures. For this reason do not park
the vehicle over inflammable material, grass, dry leaves, pine needles, etc.: fire hazard.

How to extend the boot:
1)Remove the rear window shelf by
releasing the two tie rod tips A-

The rear window shelf can be posi-
tioned behind the rear seat backs
while not in use.
2)Grip the back of the cushion and
tilt it forward against the seat backs of
the front seats fig. 69.

Adding things on the
rear window shelf or the
tailgate (speakers, spoiler,
etc.) can interfere with the cor-
rect operation of the tailgate side
gas-struts.
Follow the laws in force
if you are travelling in ar-
eas where refuelling is dif-
ficult and you want to carry a can
of petrol. Use a homologated can
only and secure it to the load an-
choring hooks. Even given these
precautions, the risk of fire in the
event of an accident is increased.

exhaust causes harmful
emissions with conse-
quent environmental pollution.
REFUELLING
To guarantee full tank filling, carry
out two refuelling operations after the
first click of the fuel delivery gun.

that could cause damages to the fuel
system.
