IMPORTANT If one of the doors is not perfectly closed, or there is a
system fault, the central locking device will not work and after 8 or 9
attempts in rapid succession the device will cut out for about 30 seconds.
During these 30 seconds the doors can be locked or unlocked manually,
without involving the electric system. After 30 seconds the central
system is ready to receive commands again. If the reason for the
malfunction has been removed, the device will start to work properly
again. If not it will cut out once more.
IMPORTANT If one or both rear doors are open and the remote
control (or the key in the door lock) is operated, the central door
locking system will lock all the doors lowering the door sill buttons.
When closing the open doors they will lock.
CHILD SAFETY DEVICE
This prevents the rear doors from being opened from the inside.
Insert the tip of the ignition key into (F) and turn it:
Position 1 - device off.
Position 2 - device on.

WARNINGWhen children are present in the car this device should always be used.

FITTING THE ISOFIX TYPE CHILD’S SEAT
Groups 0 and 0+
For children of the 0, 0+ weight group (babies up to 13 kg), the child’s
seat is facing backwards and the child is restrained by the child’s seat
belts (D).
For proper mounting proceed as follows:
❒move the seat where you want to install the child’s seat completely
forward and set the front seat with the back in touch with the child’s
seat profile;
❒check whether the release lever (B) is at rest position (inward);
❒find the presetting brackets (A), then position the child restraint
system with the fastening devices (C) aligned with the brackets;
❒push the child restraint system until hearing locking clicks;
❒check proper locking by moving the child’s seat with force: the built-in
safety mechanism actually inhibits improper coupling with only one
coupling locked.

Group 1
As the child grows, passing to weight group 1 (9-18 kg), refit the child’s
seat facing forwards following the installation instructions.
For proper mounting proceed as follows:
❒move the seat where you want to install the child’s seat completely
backwards;
❒check whether the release lever (B) is at rest position (inward);
❒find the presetting brackets (A), then position the child restraint
system with the fastening devices (C) aligned with the brackets;
❒push the child restraint system until hearing locking clicks;
❒check proper locking by moving the child’s seat with force: the built-in
safety mechanism actually inhibits improper coupling with only one
coupling locked.
With this configuration, the child is secured also by the car seat belts and
by the upper belts. To apply car seat belts to child’s seat refer to the
child’s seat handbook.
Adjust the front seat position moving it to half forward position.

STOPPING THE ENGINE
Turn the ignition to STOP while the engine is idling.
IMPORTANT After a taxing drive, you should allow
the engine to “catch its breath” before turning it off by
letting it idle to allow the temperature in the engine
compartment to fall.PARKING
Proceed as follows:
❒stop the engine and engage the handbrake;
❒engage a gear (first if the car is faced uphill or
reverse if it is faced downhill) and leave the wheels
steered.
Block the wheels with a wedge or a stone if the car is
parked on a steep slope.
Do not leave the ignition key at MAR to prevent
draining the battery. Always remove the key when you
leave the car.
Never leave children unattended in the car. Always
remove the ignition key when leaving the car and take
it out with you.
A quick burst on the accelerator before turning off the engine does not serve any practical purpose at
all. It wastes fuel and is damaging, particularly to turbo-charged engines.
