“Trip B” displays the figures relating to:
– Trip distance B
– Average consumption B
– Average speed B
– Travel time B (driving time).
Note“Trip B” function can be excluded
(see paragraph “Trip B On/Off”). “Range”
and “Instant consumption” cannot be re-
set.Values displayed
Range
This value shows the distance in km (or
mi) that the car can still cover before
needing fuel, assuming that driving condi-
tions are kept unvaried. The display will
show “----” in the following cases:
– value lower than 50 km (or 30 mi)
– car left parked with engine running for
long.
IMPORTANT The variation of the auton-
omy value can be influenced by different
factors: driving style (see what is described
in paragraph “Driving style” in the chap-
ter “Start-up and driving”), type of route
(highways, urban, mountain, etc…), use
conditions of the car (load transported,
tire pressure, etc…). What was described
previously must be taken in consideration
when planning a trip.
Trip distance
This value shows the distance covered
from the start of the new mission.Average consumption
This value shows the average consump-
tion from the start of the new mission.
Instant consumption
Represents the indicative average of con-
sumptions from the beginning of the new
mission.
Average speed
This value shows the car average speed as
a function of the overall time elapsed since
the start of the new mission.
Travel time
This value shows the time elapsed since
the start of the new mission.

FUEL CUT-OFF SWITCH fig. 60
It is located next to the passenger’s door
post, at the bottom, and comes into op-
eration in the case of a crash:
❒cutting off fuel and switching off the en-
gine;
❒automatically unlocking the doors;
❒switching on interior lights (for about
15 minutes).
fig. 60F0Q0638m
If, after a crash, you smell fu-
el or see leaks from the fuel
system, do not reset the switch to
avoid fire risk.
WARNINGWhen the switch comes into operation,
the instrument panel warning light èor
symbol °will turn on (together with the
message on the display) (see section
“Warning lights and messages”).
Carefully inspect the car to find fuel leaks,
e.g. in the engine compartment, under the
car or near the tank.
If no fuel leaks are found and the car can
be started again, press button Ato reset
the fuel system and the lights.
After a crash, remember to turn the igni-
tion key to STOPto prevent battery run-
down.

ANCHORING THE LOAD
Two attachments fig. 93located inside
the luggage compartment are used to an-
chor cables that insure transported loads
are firmly secured and two attachments
on the rear crossmember fig. 94.
IMPORTANT Never anchor to single
hooks a load exceeding 100 kg.
A heavy load that has not
been secured may cause se-
rious harm to passengers.
WARNING
If you want to carry reserve
fuel in a can, follow law reg-
ulations, only using a certified can,
suitably fastened to the load securing
eyelets. Even in this way the risk of
fire is increased in the case of an ac-
cident.

Acceleration
Accelerating violently increasing the revs
will greatly affect consumption and emis-
sions: to contain fuel consumption accel-
eration should be gradual.
Using the SPORT function, fuel consump-
tion will be slightly higher than the values
stated in paragraph “Fuel consumption” in
this Supplement.
It is absolutely forbidden to
carry out whatever after-
market operation involving steering
system or steering column modifica-
tions (e.g.: installation of anti-theft
device) that could badly affect per-
formance and safety, cause the lapse
of warranty and also result in non-
compliance of the car with homolo-
gation requirements.
WARNING
Always switch the engine off,
remove the key from the
starting device and actuate the steer-
ing lock before carrying out any main-
tenance operation, especially when
the wheels are raised from the
ground. In case this is not possible
(e.g. when the key must be in MAR
position or the engine running), re-
move the electric power steering
main fuse before carrying out any
maintenance operation.
WARNING
When the function is on, the S symbol is
lit on the instrument panel. Press the but-
ton again to turn off the function and re-
store normal steering settings.
IMPORTANT when the SPORT button is
pressed, the function activates after about
5 seconds.
IMPORTANT during acceleration, when
the SPORT function is in use, it is possible
to feel steering judder, which is typical of
this sporty setting.
IMPORTANT The steering may become
slightly stiff following parking manoeuvres
including a great deal of steering. This is
normal and caused by a system to prevent
motor overheating. No servicing is re-
quired. The electric power steering sys-
tem will return to normal operation the
next time the car is used.

The car must only be filled
with diesel fuel for motor ve-
hicles, in compliance with Eu-
ropean Specification EN590.
The use of other products or mixtures
may irreparably damage the engine
with invalidation of the warranty due
to the damage caused. In the event of
accidentally filling with another type
of fuel, do not start the engine and
empty the tank. If the engine has been
run even for only a very short time, in
addition to the tank, it is also necessary
to drain out the whole fuel circuit.DIESEL ENGINES
If the outside temperature is very low, the
diesel thickens due to the formation of
paraffins and could clog the diesel fuel fil-
ter.
In order to avoid these problems, differ-
ent types of diesel are distributed ac-
cording to the season: summer type, win-
ter type arctic type (mountains/cold ar-
eas).
If refuelling with diesel fuel not suitable for
the current temperature, mix diesel fuel
with TUTELA DIESEL ART additive in the
proportions stated on the can, putting first
the antifreeze in the tank and then the
diesel fuel.
Refuel with local diesel fuel if the car is
used/parked in the mountains or in cold
areas for a long period. In this event you
are recommended to keep an amount of
fuel higher than 50% in the tank.AT THE FILLING
STATION
PETROL ENGINES
Use only unleaded petrol.
To prevent errors, the diameter of the fu-
el tank filler is too small to introduce a lead
petrol pump filler.
Use petrol with a rated octane number
(R.O.N.) not lower than 95.
IMPORTANT An inefficient catalyst leads
to harmful exhaust emissions, thus con-
tributing to air pollution.
IMPORTANT Never use leaded petrol,
even in small amount or in an emergency,
as this would damage the catalyst beyond
repair.REFUELLING
To ensure full tank refuelling, carry out
two top-up operations once the delivery
gun has turned off twice. Avoid further
top-up operations which could cause faults
in the fuel system.

FUEL FILLER CAP fig. 108
To carry out fuelling, open flap Aand un-
screw cap B: the cap is fitted with an an-
tiloss device Cwhich fastens it to the flap
so it cannot be mislaid.
The cap Bis fitted with key-lock: open the
lid A, then, turn the ignition key in the lock
and open the cap.
When refuelling, secure the cap to the de-
vice inside the lid as shown in the figure. IMPORTANT The sealing of the tank may
cause light pressurising in the tank. A lit-
tle breathing off, while slackening the cap,
is absolutely normal.
After refuelling, turn the cap clockwise un-
til it clicks, then turn the key clockwise,
remove it and close the flap.
fig. 108F0Q0695m
Keep naked flames or light-
ed cigarettes away from the
fuel filler hole as there is a danger of
fire. Do not bend too close to the hole
either so as not to breathe in harmful
vapours.
WARNING
PROTECTING THE
ENVIRONMENT
The devices for curtailing petrol engine
emissions are the following:
❒three-way catalytic converter;
❒Lambda sensor;
❒fuel evaporation system.
In addition, do not let the engine run, even
for a test, with one or more spark plugs
disconnected.
The devices for curtailing diesel fuel en-
gine emissions are the following:
❒oxidising catalytic converter;
❒exhaust gas recirculation system
(E.G.R.);
❒Lambda sensors;
❒diesel particulate filter (DPF) (where
provided it is fitted instead of the Lamb-
da sensor).
